Chapter 594

-That’s too harsh, don’t you think? I wish I didn’t know!

-It seems like Moviegoers use a different dictionary. Not harsh >>> extremely spicy

-Heheheh. I knew it. Seo-jun must have died again.

-I was prepared for it. (Sprout)

-Do you have tissues ready? (Sprout)

-It’s strange that he didn’t die, (Sprout)

-Sprout lol. You accept it so fast lol

-But it’s true that Seo-jun died a lot.

-(The health check results given by Sprout)

-lololol

“Seo-jun played a lot of characters who died. Heulleogada, Jung Ga-ram…”

-?? Our Ga-ram didn’t die??

-222 It’s not officially confirmed, right??

-He just…! He just…! It snowed!! (Clenching mouth/Tears)

“Uh, then there are the survivors, Lee Hyunwoo…”

-We don’t count the director’s cut.

-I’m very conservative when it comes to happy endings.

-22 If it’s not a happy ending, it doesn’t exist.

-33 Let the director watch it alone.

“Hmm. Then… Rebellion, Dangjong.”

-…Cough…

“And there are Naeuiwon, Seongnyeong Daegun.”

-I can’t argue with that. It’s historically confirmed…!

-Seongnyeong Daegun mama

-But it’s less than I thought. Only four.

-Yeah. I thought he died in 11 out of 13 (excluding series/cameos).

-222 Me too. I thought Seo-jun always played roles that died.

-They all had a big impact.

“How did we get to this topic? Let’s get back to the main point. Director Hwang Ji-yoon originally wanted to end the ‘Fire’ here. To make the tragedy more impactful to the audience.”

-It would have been hard to end it like that if it was a commercial movie.

-22 That’s why she made it an independent film.

-Do… Do all directors do this?

-Yeah. Why do they like sad endings so much

“But after seeing Seo-jun’s acting, she thought that Seo-jun’s ‘Young Master’ wouldn’t die like that, so she changed it.”

-Thank you… Thank you so much…!

-Seo-jun is amazing. He changed that.

-22 I wish he always did that!!

(Whisper)But he also made the director’s cut for the survivors. (+Davis Garrett)

-Spit. Cancel.

-lololol

-lol He gives you the disease and the cure lol

The viewers and Moviegoer burst into laughter at the quick cancellation.

“Anyway, that’s how we got the beautiful happy ending story. Let’s move on to the last part. The Young Master who collapsed on the snow was fortunately alive. Min-han nursed him until he regained consciousness. He also heard the story from the Lee family.”

-Why did they call him Young Master?

-Because he’s from a rich family?

“It’s for security reasons. We don’t know if he’s really from a rich family or not. The guests who come to the mansion are all called Young Master, Young Lady, Elder, Madam. That’s the rule.”

-Ah… That’s why there was an unknown painter in the ending credits.

-A real unknown.

“It’s not Hanyang, but Gyeongseong. Maybe only this mountain village stubbornly called it Hanyang. The Hangul that appeared in the beginning. That word ‘Hangul’ was coined by Ju Si-gyeong in the 1910s.”

-!! So they should have called it Gyeongseong because they used Hangul!

-That village feels like they’re doing a lot of independence movement.

“According to Director Hwang Ji-yoon’s interview, the village kids. I mean, the older siblings who grew up with Min-han went out of the village and helped the independence movement.”

-The runaway calves who tried to sneak into the mansion…! (Clenching mouth)

-…They’re amazing…really…

-I feel like I became a bot that says amazing today

-What about Min-han? Why didn’t they teach him?

“They didn’t want to burden him with the independence movement, since he was alone and lonely. He had no family.”

-The village people are nice

-Is that nice? I think it would have been better if they told him everything.

-Maybe they didn’t trust him. They might have done something if he pushed them.

-Isn’t that too cold

-The director said so

-Our Min-han is not like that

-You’re too spicy.

-It’s Moviegoers’ fault.

-222lololol

“Um, I’m sorry?”

Moviegoer looked awkwardly down and up.

“Anyway, let’s continue the review. Min-han thanked the young master, I mean, the unknown painter. He was sincere and the unknown painter who was lying like dead also started to cry. Then they both looked like their age.”

-If they’re both in their early twenties… they’re younger than me;;;

-They’re so young

-There are a lot of teenage independence activists too

-Yu Gwan-sun too

“And the day came when the unknown painter returned to Hanyang. He said he would continue his work and paint. You must have been moved by that.”

-He regrets and regrets but still does the independence movement. What a great person

-How much more will he get hurt

“Min-han also made him emotional. He said he would work at the mansion and he wanted to use the unknown painter’s surname.”

-They’re really amazing

-I cried when he said he wanted to use the unknown painter’s surname. I didn’t expect that

-But why didn’t he teach him his name?

“Maybe the unknown painter means the independence activist itself. Those who left their names and those who couldn’t. Just like Min-han means an ordinary person.”

-Min-han >> Han-min >> Korean people

-I didn’t know

-Teacher Isangseol’s sense

“And the Western-style mansion represents the foreigners who helped them at that time. Like George Lewis Shaw, who ran a trading company called Iryuyanghaeng and helped the independence activists. He passed away two years before the independence.”

-There’s also Dil Kusha!

-Who’s that?? A foreigner?

Moviegoer nodded and showed a picture of a building on the monitor. It was a red brick Western-style two-story mansion that resembled the mansion in [Fire].

“Dil Kusha. That’s the name of this mansion. It’s located in Seoul and it was where the family of a journalist who reported the March 1st Movement and the Jeam-ri Massacre to the outside world lived.”

Pictures of the Western family appeared one by one.

“At that time, they printed the Declaration of Independence with the printer at Severance Hospital, but they were afraid of being caught, so they hid it under the bed where a foreign baby was lying. This journalist, Albert Taylor, picked up the baby and found the declaration under the blanket and quickly put the baby down. Then he reported the Declaration of Independence to the outside world.”

-Wow… It’s like a movie…

-They’re really amazing

-He was imprisoned too

“Dil Kusha means paradise, palace of hope in Hindi. I think his efforts helped a lot to reach the paradise.”

The comment section was full of tears.

“The rest of the movie is narrated. The narration was done by Hwang Do-yoon, who played Min-han. His voice was calm, which made it more impressive.”

-In the end.

-That day came.

“From 1919 to 1945. After 26 years, a letter arrived at the mansion. Fortunately, it was from the unknown painter.”

-The nuclear spicy version is the young master’s obituary here.

-You’re the worst

-He gave us hope and then

-But there must have been people like that. Those who passed away right before the liberation.

“There must have been. Poet Yi Yuk-sa passed away a year before the liberation. And there must have been many others who didn’t leave any records.”

-What does it mean that the mansion door won’t open?

-Mansion door opens → Someone is injured from the independence movement.

-or They need to rely on foreign power.

-A very gloomy situation.

“That’s right. In short, it’s a situation that should never happen again. They only showed the scene of closing the door from the inside, but in the last scene, they showed the scene of closing the door from the outside. That also has that meaning.”

-There’s no one left in the mansion.

-No one is injured. And there won’t be any in the future.

-Liberation

-I think of the Liberation Day again

Moviegoer sighed and said.

“Liberation Day. It was no joke. I went to see the movie that day. I watched the Liberation Day event on TV in the morning and went to see the movie.”

-You saw it first, so you must have known!

-Yeah.

“Yes. I was a bit aware of it. But I was really surprised when I came out of the exit.”

-The national flag

-When I entered the theater: I didn’t care at all.

When I came out of the theater: Tears streaming down. I only see the national flag

“Yes. The scene of hanging the national flag on the street lamps was so natural that I passed by that day thinking, oh, the national flag. But after watching the movie, I felt how precious this situation was, that the national flag was hanging here. So I just stared at it blankly.”

-If it flutters in the wind, it’s even more amazing.

-I usually take the subway because it’s faster, but I deliberately took the bus home. To see the national flags on the road.

-Me too. I took a lot of pictures.

-Liberation Day event > Fire > Liberation Day documentary > Movie. I did it all.

-22 I looked for it all day.

-I went to the Independence Hall.

Moviegoer who watched related movies all day laughed and said.

“I also looked for movies hard. I was more immersed and moved because I empathized with them. Of course, I only watched the ones that ended with happy endings.”

-And then you interpreted it as nuclear spicy.

-Why? Why? Why???

-Moviegoer has to make a living.

-…Aha.

“Yes. I have to tell you everything I found while reviewing. I don’t discriminate between mild and spicy. Let’s go back to the movie. After Fire was screened, something interesting happened.”

-lololol

-There were national flags in every review lol

-I wrote one too. I got goosebumps when I saw the national flag.

-The national flag suddenly appeared on SNS and real-time search.

“Yes. Because of the constant mention of the national flag in the reviews, Cocoa Entertainment and the theaters moved quickly. Thanks to that, the national flags that would have been taken down were still hanging for two more weeks.”

-They took down the national flags now

-Too bad

“They took down the street lamp national flags, but they put up national flag posters along the exit at the theaters.”

-I didn’t know that and I brought it with me.

-??? : There’s no national flag? Just take it with you! (Takes out a national flag)

-lololololol

-lol That’s good. It would be cooler if you brought an old national flag.

-Like a real independence fighter, hiding it and bringing it in.

-Someone shout “Long live the independence of Korea!!” after the movie ends.

-lololololol

-But I wonder if someone will follow lol

-…I will.

-I think I’ll do it in my heart.

-But when the movie ends, I might do it without knowing.

-2222 My body will react first.

“Haha. I think I would too.”

Moviegoer took a light breath and looked at the camera.

“The independent film ‘Fire’. It was a work that I thought was just an ordinary healing story, but it delivered emotion and aftertaste with an unexpected twist. The actors’ great acting enhanced the immersion of the work, and the excellent skills of the production team who did their best in their own positions added more light. Thank you for making such a wonderful work. [Fire] team.”

***

Ahn Da Ho entered the office and looked at the man sitting on the sofa.

The man who wore a hat to cover his short hair stood up with a friendly face.

“Da Ho hyung!”

It was Private First Class Lee Seo-jun, who was on vacation.

Ahn Da Ho hesitated for a moment and smiled.

The soft and fluffy atmosphere that he had was gone, and his body and vibe looked solid and a bit unfamiliar. He felt like he was growing up and becoming an adult every time he saw him after he enlisted.

‘He didn’t change much, though.’

They were together almost every day and then separated, so he felt that way.

“Seo-jun. How have you been? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No. I’m not hurt. The platoon members are all nice people, so I’m comfortable.”

Seo-jun, who could make anyone ‘nice people’, smiled and answered.

Ahn Da Ho sighed in relief. He had been in touch with him frequently and visited him, but he felt more reassured when they talked like this.

“Sit down. What do you want to drink?”

“Orange juice, please. They don’t have this brand at the PX.”

Ahn Da Ho laughed at that. Even though his vibe had changed, Seo-jun was still Seo-jun.

A moment later.

A cold orange juice and a script were placed in front of Seo-jun. He flipped through the script. It was the script for [Over the Rainbow 2].

“Like I told you before, they said we don’t have to meet the platform release date.”

Nelson, who had returned to the US and had a meeting, contacted him.

The release date didn’t matter, because [Over the Rainbow] was still a great work that attracted subscribers, so they decided to proceed with the movie shooting according to Seo-jun’s schedule.

“So we’re shooting it next August?”

“Probably. How about it? Are you okay with it?”

He would be discharged on July 14th and rest for only two weeks, so Ahn Da Ho was worried. Of course, Seo-jun, who was sitting in front of him, looked healthy as before. No, he looked even stronger?

‘He didn’t change much, though.’

They felt that way because they were together almost every day and then separated.

“Yes. I’m fine. It sounds fun.”

A fake documentary. He was intrigued.

The content of the script was good too.

After that, Seo-jun and Ahn Da Ho talked about various works.

“I’ll go now, Da Ho hyung.”

Seo-jun, who checked the time, got up from his seat. Ahn Da Ho asked him.

“Okay. Where are you meeting your friends? Do you want me to take you there?”

“It’s okay. It’s the theater right here. I’m going to see Fire with my friends.”

“Oh, you haven’t seen it at the theater yet?”

It had been three weeks since [Fire] was released.

Just last night, Seo-jun watched the live broadcast of Moviegoer and nodded regretfully.

“I wish I could see the national flag parade. I should have taken my vacation earlier.”

“They also put up pictures inside the theater. Pictures of independence fighters or the March 1st Movement, the Liberation Day. They have those places too.”

“Really?”

He wondered what the theater he was going to with his friends would be like.

Before leaving the office, Seo-jun, who was excited, adjusted his hat and Ahn Da Ho asked him.

“Oh, Seo-jun. When is your next vacation?”

“November. That’s when uncle Jong-ho and Ji-seok hyung’s movie is released. I have to see that!”

Seo-jun smiled brightly and answered. Ahn Da Ho smiled and said.
