Peninsula: I can steal the luck of disgraced celebrities

After that day, Lin Puzhi never saw Yan Zhengxun again.

Of course, he's not dead; Han Ga-in now has the attributes of a widow.

But after that day, he realized he had said things he shouldn't have, and he was too embarrassed to come again.

Episodes six through eight of "Bad Man" tell the story of Hong Tae-sung's decadent lifestyle in Japan, while Shen Jianxu is sent by Hong Tae-sung's father to bring him back.

Meanwhile, Moon Jae-in was also sent to Japan to help a chaebol's wife purchase glass masks.

The entire crew will be filming in Nagoya, Japan.

In Nagoya in April, the cherry blossoms have all fallen.

The hotel booked by the film crew was near Nagoya Castle. Looking out the window, you could see a corner of the castle tower's eaves peeking out from between the buildings.

The morning air still carried the moisture brought by the sea breeze, completely different from the dryness of Seoul.

Lin Puzhi stood by the window and pushed it open a crack.

The wind blew in, carrying the scent of the city before it awakens.

The oden from the convenience store, the slightly fishy smell rising from the asphalt road after it was wet by a water truck, and the faint salty smell wafting from the direction of the distant port.

Today is the day Lin Puzhi and Han Ga-in are filming their kissing scene.

He went into the bathroom to brush his teeth, and saw that he looked thinner than he had two months ago.

For the sake of the plot, director Lee Hyung-min said that Lim Pak-ji was not thin enough.

Even though Kim Jae-eun tried to stop him repeatedly, she couldn't persuade Lee Hyung-min.

Lin Puzhi didn't care, as long as he could get paid.

He spat out the foam and washed his face with cold water.

Water droplets dripped down his chin as he leaned against the edge of the sink, looking down at the water swirling in the stainless steel basin.

He straightened up and wiped the water off his face.

I put on my coat, pushed open the door, and went out.

The filming location for Nagoya was chosen in an alley near Sakae-cho.

Lee Hyung-min stood at the alley entrance, holding a storyboard, confirming camera positions with the cinematographer.

"Lin Puzhi." He waved.

Lin Puzhi walked over, and Li Hengmin pointed to the middle section of the alleyway.

"Shen Jianxu caught up with Wen Zaiyin from here."

"clear."

"When you kiss someone, it's not about aggression, it's about confirmation. Shen Jianxu kissed Wen Zaiyin not because he wanted to kiss her, but because she needed to be kissed. She had just been humiliated by Ms. Shen and felt worthless, and he wanted to tell her that she wasn't."

Lee Hyung-min looked at him. "Do you understand the difference?"

"Understand."

In reality, Lin Puzhi didn't understand.

But it's okay, it's just a kissing scene anyway. If you don't know how, just kiss a few more times. You'll eventually find the right position if you try a lot of different positions.

Lee Hyung-min nodded and turned to arrange the camera positions.

The kissing scene was filmed at night.

Before the shoot, Lin Puzhi rinsed his mouth with mouthwash.

Han Ga-in came out of the makeup cart, already changed into Moon Jae-in's clothes.

She walked to the alley entrance and stood at the marked spot.

The makeup artist, Park, applied a final touch of powder and then stepped away.

"All units, prepare." Lee Hyung-min's voice came from the monitor.

The clapperboard closed in front of the camera.

Han Ga-in closed her eyes to feel the emotions of the character.

Three minutes later, she opened her eyes and began to criticize Shen Jianxu.

In this scene, Lin Puzhi has no lines; it's all Han Jiaren's monologue.

As Moon Jae-in poured out her grievances, her nose tingled, and she seemed about to burst into tears.

Han Ga-in's acting is so-so; she really can't cry.

But she took a shortcut: she lowered her head and covered her nose with her hand.

I pretended to be crying, but I covered my face with my hand to stop the performance.

Lin Puzhi's role is also very simple.

He cupped Han Jiaren's face in his hands and slowly moved closer.

Han Jiaren closed her eyes.

Her eyelashes trembled gently in Lin Puzhi's palm, like butterfly wings.

Lips closed, teeth separated.

At that moment, Lin Puzhi recalled Ha Joo-hee's kiss.

Ha Joo-hee's kiss was coffee.

Han Ga-in's kiss is like a cocktail.

"Cut." Lee Hyung-min's voice came from afar. "Passed. Guaranteed one."

"It's done, but we'll keep this one as a backup" means that this scene will still be filmed.

Then Lee Hyung-min turned to the production assistant, "Change scenes, film Hong Tae-sung's car interior."

Kim Jae-wook was already sitting in the black prop car.

He was driving by when he saw the two kissing, so he rolled down his car window.

With the car window half-open, his profile appeared even more defined in the shadows inside the car.

"Cut, passed." There was a faint hint of satisfaction in Lee Hyung-min's voice.

Kim Jae-wook got out of the car, walked to Lim Pak-ji's side, and handed him a can of coffee.

The two men have been filming and playing games together for two months and are already quite familiar with each other.

Lin Puzhi took it, pulled the tab, and took a sip.

It's bitter, with the distinctive dark roast aroma of Japanese coffee.

Kim Jae-wook sat next to Lim Pak-ji, nudged him with his elbow, and asked curiously:

"What were you thinking when you kissed her just now?"

"I didn't think about anything."

"I don't believe it."

"You're right not to believe it."

After a short rest, the group continued filming.

It's still the kissing scene between Lin Puzhi and Han Ga-in.

At that moment, a taxi stopped near the filming location.

The car door opened, and Yeon Jung-hoon stepped out.

He was wearing a dark trench coat and holding a bouquet of flowers.

He came today to give Han Ga-in a surprise, and also to apologize for the harsh words he said last time.

Yeon Jung-hoon walked towards the alley where the photo was taken, holding flowers, but no one noticed him at that moment.

The stagehands, lighting crew, photographers, makeup artists—everyone's eyes were focused on the two people in the alley.

The clapperboard closed.

Yeon Jung-hoon arrived at just the right time.

Lin Puzhi once again cupped Han Jiaren's delicate face and kissed her.

Just like the plot of the seventh episode that is currently being filmed.

Hong Tae-sung accidentally drove by and saw Shen Jianxu and Wen Zaiyin kissing.

Yeon Jung-hoon visited the set and unexpectedly witnessed Lim Pak-ji and Han Ga-in kissing.

Yeon Jung-hoon turned and left.

He casually tossed the flowers aside by the roadside and left this place of sorrow.

The taxi was still parked there, so he opened the door and got in.

The taxi driver glanced back and saw it was the young man who had just gotten out of the car. He asked:

"Young man, why are you back again?"

Yeon Jung-hoon suppressed his irritation and said, "It's nothing, Master. Take me to Chubu International Airport."

"Didn't you just come from over there?" The taxi driver, a talkative middle-aged man, continued, "I can tell from your expression that you've had a fight with your girlfriend, haven't you?"

"Young people shouldn't argue over trivial matters. When my wife cheated on me, I was able to forgive her with understanding."

"How could your situation be as serious as mine?"

"I said!" Yeon Jung-hoon slammed his fist on the front seat twice and roared angrily, "To Chubu International Airport!"

As the car drove away from the park, its taillights grew smaller and smaller in the April evening lights, finally disappearing into the shadows of the pine forest.

Lin Puzhi loosened his grip on Han Jiaren's face.

"Cut, this one's secured too, call it a day." Lee Hyung-min's voice came from the monitor.

Workers began dismantling the equipment, and the walkie-talkies were filled with the noise of people again.

"Hey, why is there a bouquet of flowers here?" a staff member asked curiously after accidentally stepping on it.

Other members of the crew recalled:

"Is this from the props department?"

"no."

"Where did these flowers come from?"

"I guess some rude passerby littered it."
