Peninsula: My e-sports dream shattered, I chose to become an actor.

"Cut! Great! This one's passed!"

Lee Myung-yeop and Park Shin-hye exchanged a smile, bowed to the director to express their gratitude, and then walked together to the rest area.

Filming for "The Heirs" is nearing its end, and the story is about to reach its final chapter.

The scene we just filmed was Choi Young-do's final confession to the female lead, followed by a sense of relief and letting go. After that, there are sweet scenes between him and the second female lead, although these sweet moments only appear in the last two episodes.

"Wow, Mingye, your acting skills have improved so quickly!"

Park Shin-hye held a glass of iced Americano, her expression exaggerated as she exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration.

"When she first joined the crew, her acting was already quite solid, but she still managed to improve noticeably," Park Shin-hye sighed dramatically, rubbing her forehead. "How are we senior actors supposed to survive now? It's like we have no way out."

Lee Myung-yeop knew Park Shin-hye was joking, and replied in a lighthearted tone, "Shin-hye unnie, please stop joking with me. I'm still far from being good enough."

"No way!" Park Shin-hye's eyes widened, her face saying, "You don't believe me?" "I'm serious. When we were acting opposite each other just now, I almost couldn't keep up with your performance."

Li Mingye's lips curled up slightly, but his heart remained calm.

So many people praised him during filming that Park Shin-hye's praise was relatively mild.

He has a pretty good relationship with Park Shin-hye now. To be precise, apart from Lee Min-ho, he has a pretty good relationship with everyone in the crew.

Because the work has been a huge success, the atmosphere on set is now very good. When the atmosphere is good, it's easier to manage relationships, and everyone is thinking about continuing to work together in the future.

Although Park Shin-hye's popularity with Lee Min-ho's "Tan-eun Couple" has decreased compared to the original version in the dream, the popularity of "Young-do and Eun-sang Couple" is much hotter than the original version, making up for this gap. Overall, she is still one of the biggest beneficiaries of this drama.

Even though many outside voices say that Lee Min-ho "climbed to the top by stepping on Lee Min-ho," Lee Min-ho has actually benefited just as much. As the leading man, he has received countless endorsements and commercial offers. It's just that Lee Min-ho's rise as a newcomer has been so dramatic and his popularity so astonishing that Lee Min-ho seems to be "overshadowed."

"Xinhui, get ready for the next match!"

The assistant director's voice came through, and Park Shin-hye responded, waved to Lee Myung-yeop, and then turned and left.

As soon as Park Shin-hye left, Kim Ji-won strolled leisurely over to Lee Myung-yeop's side.

"You two seem to be having a good chat." Her voice was soft and low, with a hint of barely perceptible bitterness.

"Is Noona jealous?" Lee Myung-yeop turned his head with a bright smile, but in Kim Ji-won's eyes, it looked smug.

Kim Ji-won rolled her eyes at him and lightly punched his shoulder.

She couldn't win an argument with Li Mingye, so she usually chose to vent her dissatisfaction through body language in these situations.

And I am indeed a little jealous. Even though I know he has a girlfriend, I still feel a little sour when I see him being close to other girls.

She gave up, not that she didn't like it anymore.

Just as Li Mingye was about to tease Kim Ji-won again, a cool voice interrupted.

"Unnie, can I borrow this guy for a moment?"

Kim Ji-won nodded blankly, not quite understanding what was happening, when she saw Lee Myung-yeop being dragged away by Jung Soo-jung like a chick.

Only after the two figures had disappeared into the distance did Kim Ji-won belatedly realize what had happened. A blush crept onto her cheeks, and she muttered softly:

"What do you mean by 'borrow'...it's not my stuff..."

On the other side, Lee Myung-yeop, who had been dragged to a corner by Jung Soo-jung, looked at Jung Soo-jung with a puzzled expression.

What are you up to?

Krystal Jung exhaled deeply, seemingly calming herself, then stared straight at him and uttered something surprising:

"Have you come into contact with the truth?"

Oh, this.

Li Mingye replied calmly and without changing his expression, "No."

Krystal Jung seemed a little surprised. She paused for a moment, then asked again:

"So what's your relationship now?"

When asked this question, Li Mingye hesitated, and before he could think of an answer, he asked a question in return:

Why are you asking these questions?

Krystal glared at him, giving him a "how dare you ask?" look:

"Zhenli talks about you all the time now, and before going to bed at night she's always looking at your photos on her phone and smiling like an idiot. Do you think this is normal?"

There was a subtle hint of sourness in her voice.

Li Mingye spread his hands helplessly: "Miss, who are you jealous of?"

Krystal blushed, raised an eyebrow, and was about to retort, but she stopped herself.

Her eyes held a hint of resentment, and her voice even carried a touch of coquetry: "Tell me first."

Li Mingye silently organized his words in his mind and said in a natural tone:

"I'm her oppa."

"Oppa?" Krystal looked like she couldn't believe her ears, her brows furrowing deeply. "Aren't you younger than her?"

"There's no law that says someone can't be an oppa just because they're young," Lee Myung-yeop argued confidently.

Their way of getting along was indeed rather strange. Li Mingye even felt that Cui Zhenli secretly wanted to call him "appa," but this nickname was somewhat related to a peculiar fetish and not appropriate to say in a normal situation.

"What is this...?" Krystal crossed her arms, looking dissatisfied with the answer, clearly feeling that he was just giving her a perfunctory response.

However, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's fine if it's not that kind of relationship.

She didn't know why she reacted so strongly. It might be because the two of them got along so well, but she, the original "middleman," was excluded, which made her feel a strange sense of loss and dissatisfaction.

Krystal Jung admitted that she has some feelings for Lee Min-yeop, but she doesn't think those feelings are very strong, at least not strong enough for her to pursue him.

Looking at Li Mingye's handsome face, Jung Soo-jung recalled the previous turmoil.

She felt that the sudden and rapid improvement in their relationship must be related to this incident, and she vaguely felt that Jae-ho going in to operate the sewing machine was closely related to Lee Myung-yeop.

However, after thinking about it for a while, she buried the idea in her heart.

It's best not to ask about these things; knowing them won't do you any good.

"So what are you planning to say about your viewership agreement?" Krystal Jung suddenly changed the subject.

"Hey, your change of topic was so abrupt," Li Mingye complained helplessly.

"...Tell me first." Jung Soo-jung ignored his complaints and asked persistently.

"I don't know, why don't you order it for me?"

"Huh? Me?"

Krystal Jung's eyes lit up, seemingly very interested in the suggestion.
