NOVEL NEXT Chapter 521
Miro, you damn bastard.
I turned on the broadcast after a long time, and what’s with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game ad??
– Money-hungry much, damn.
ㄴ For real.
– They bring the most random ads, damn.
ㄴ Why Romance of the Three Kingdoms, lol.
[The funniest thing about this game company…]
(Miro cosplaying as Guan Yu in a variety show)
Why did they even put Miro in the ad?? Common sense says they should’ve gone with actor Kim Soo-hyun, lol.
– For real, lol.
– Actor Kim Soo-hyun doesn’t do game ads, lol.
ㄴ But it was a huge hit in China and Japan, though.
– Miro is like the budget version of Kim Soo-hyun, so they went with her.
ㄴ Take that back, you jerk.
ㄴ Actually, Kim Soo-hyun was the original Miro, damn.
– Does Kim Soo-hyun not do ads?
ㄴ He’s too big for game ads like this, lol.
[Watching Miro’s broadcast right now, damn.]
It’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but why is Guan Yu’s equipment missing?
And why does Wang Ping keep showing up?
– He’s the new Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun now, lol.
ㄴ ??
ㄴ He’s gonna die soon, so they’re milking him dry, lol.
– They’re about to introduce some random guys as generals, lol.
[The reason Miro’s current scenario is so boring…]
(A collection of Romance of the Three Kingdoms main characters)
All the big names are dead, lol.
It’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, and Zhao Yun are all missing, lol.
– All three main characters of Romance of the Three Kingdoms are dead?
ㄴ Nah, Sun Quan’s still alive.
ㄴ ?? Why is he alive, lol.
ㄴ For real, why is he still alive, lol.
ㄴ He should’ve died earlier, damn.
– Jiang Wei’s Northern Expedition is basically a one-man show, right?
ㄴ For real, it’s all about Jiang Wei, lol.
ㄴ At least Wei has some named characters, though.
ㄴ Where are the named characters? I’ve never heard of these guys, damn.
ㄴ For real, lol.
– The scenario is called Jiang Wei’s Northern Expedition, but even Jiang Wei is a nobody, lol.
ㄴ For real, lol.
ㄴ How is Jiang Wei a nobody?
ㄴ Most people don’t even know Zhang Liao, lol.
ㄴ ?? For real?
– These guys really hit the jackpot with Miro’s ad, lol.
ㄴ For real, lol.
ㄴ Why do they know so much, lol.
[Miro, you damn jerk…]
Stop playing weird games and just turn on the cam already.
I don’t know anything about Romance of the Three Kingdoms, damn.
– For real.
– Why are you watching Miro’s broadcast if you don’t know Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
ㄴ For real, lol. Must be a new viewer, lol.
– Damn.
– It’s been a while since her broadcast, and this is what we get?
– Even if I knew Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I’d still hate it, damn.
[Honestly, if they just did this, it’d be great, lol.]
These guys are really milking it, lol. Take a 2-week break or something??
– Lol.
– 2 weeks? Damn.
– The scary part is she might actually do it.
[How to make the broadcast way more fun right now…]
(A screenshot of Miro’s character with Kim Soo-hyun cosplaying as Guan Yu pasted on)
Just imagine it’s actor Kim Soo-hyun playing instead of Miro, and it’s instantly more fun.
– Oh, lol.
– Are you a genius??
– For real, that’d be fun.
– Lol, actor Kim Soo-hyun playing a Romance of the Three Kingdoms game??
[Miro really needs to do a cam broadcast…]
(Miro wearing a messy pink wig)
Can’t you just do a proper cosplay and broadcast?? You’re not getting fired anyway, damn.
– For real, lol.
– Even if she did a cam broadcast, The Six wouldn’t cut her.
– Miro’s got that Buhwang pride, so she’d never do it.
ㄴ For real, her Buhwang pride is messed up.
[Reading comments about Miro’s variety show appearance, and foreigners are hilarious, lol.]
(Variety show highlights with foreigner reactions)
These guys are so confused because they don’t know Romance of the Three Kingdoms, lol.
– Lol.
– Foreigners don’t know Romance of the Three Kingdoms??
ㄴ Yeah, lol. Of course not.
ㄴ It’s only famous in Asia.
– It’s like a foreign top star playing a Napoleon war game on YouTube, lol.
ㄴ Got it.
ㄴ Makes total sense, lol.
ㄴ And they’re even cosplaying as Napoleon, lol.
ㄴ Lol.
[The truth is, even regular people are confused, not just foreigners, lol.]
(Miro’s YouTube comments)
Every time Miro’s highlights are uploaded, there’s always at least one comment roasting the chat.
– Miro’s chat is really toxic.
ㄴ It’s because Miro doesn’t manage it, lol.
ㄴ She probably leaves it like that on purpose?
ㄴ It’s been like that since the early days, so she can’t change it now, lol.
– Miro’s really dragging Kim Soo-hyun down.
ㄴ They should’ve cut her loose sooner, lol.
[Miro leaves the chat like that because she *can*, lol.]
(Miro’s Blue Bird account)
If it wasn’t allowed, she’d have abandoned it and censored it by now.
– Lol.
– That’s not Kim Soo-hyun’s account, lol.
– She only abandons what’s not allowed.
– That’s still a mystery. Did Miro really drop slurs??
ㄴ Probably got hacked, lol.
ㄴ It’s hard to imagine, lol.
[What I’m most curious about at this point…]
Miro’s League of Legends main account ban history <— This is what I really wanna know.
Did even Miro drop slurs while fighting with junglers...
- 100%, lol.
- Fact) She learned slurs from playing League.
ㄴ For real, lol.
- Miro might have an actor’s image, but she’ll curse when she needs to, lol.
ㄴ She used to curse a lot in her early broadcasts.
ㄴ Yeah, lol. She did everything.
ㄴ Her looks carry her image, damn.

After filming the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game ad.
The next day, I woke up later than usual.
“Ugh...”
I pushed myself too hard yesterday for the broadcast after so long.
Good thing my schedule today is a bit later.
Well, at most, it’s just early to late morning.
But I still have to leave in the morning.
*Buzz*
[Good morning~ The flu’s going around, so be careful not to catch a cold.]
Be careful...]
From the morning, I quickly responded to Lee Seok-hyun's message and got ready.
Let's see, today is the day for filming Season 2 of "Credit."
Lately, progress has been slow, so I hope today's filming goes smoothly.
Still, it feels like we're gradually getting in sync, so I think things will improve as time goes on. With that thought, I stepped outside.
"Good morning."
"Good morning."
I greeted Park Kang-seok outside and got into the car, heading to the Credit filming location.
In the past, I used to stop by the shop, but nowadays, I just get my makeup and styling done at the filming location.
Since this is a survival game, there's no need for heavy makeup.
Plus, with all the travel time, going to the shop and back is too tiring, so I keep it simple and get ready at the filming location.
Anyway, after a long drive, we arrived at the studio.
"Hello."
"Ah, Soo-hyun, welcome."
Once again, I entered the crowded set.
I'm starting to recognize the people here. Well, we've shot the same scenes multiple times, so it'd be weird if I didn't.
"The coffee truck is here today~"
"Really?"
"Yes, help yourself."
It was chilly, so I hurried over to grab a coffee when I heard the news.
"I could've brought it for you."
"No, it's fine. There's still time before filming."
Since the filming location is far, I’ve been arriving with plenty of time to spare these days.
It's better to arrive early than late.
"Soo-hyun, hello."
"Ah, yes."
"Let's do our best today!"
"Sure."
After sipping coffee and exchanging greetings with the other actors, I headed to the makeup room to change into my game participant outfit and get ready.
Then, I went to the waiting room and read the script. Today, I have a lot of scenes, so I need to practice more before we start.
Let's see.
Now, it's the scene where Jisoo starts to take action.
In the first game, Jisoo was too busy trying to get her bearings, but from the second game, she starts to focus and act.
It's not so much about wanting to win the game, but more about wanting to survive.
She works behind the scenes, not standing out too much but making moves under the radar.
Using her natural charm, she teams up with people who still have their humanity intact, since it's still the early stages of the game.
She gradually builds her influence.
The scene we're shooting today is up to the point where she spots a certain man.
...Can we really finish this today? There are quite a few cuts.
But since there are some solo shots, I think if I do well, it'll be fine. So I kept reading the script over and over.
Reviewing the script again and again is how I minimize mistakes.
If I drill it into my head, the lines and actions come naturally.
As I memorized the script, I thought about why Jisoo says these lines and acts this way, trying to flesh out the character.
- Actor! We're starting soon!
"Ah, yes!"
Hearing the call from outside the waiting room, I headed to the set.
Every time I see it, the set leaves me in awe. Other actors were also heading in, and the staff were all waiting around.
When I appeared on set, all eyes turned to me.
Well, I am the main focus of this shoot.
Hmm... whatever.
I'm used to this kind of attention now.
There are a lot of eyes on me, but I’ve experienced this before with Sera.
The only difference is the pressure, I guess.
With the popularity of "Credit" Season 1 rising every day, expectations for Season 2 are even higher.
And in Season 2, the first episode is this flashback, and I play one of the key characters in that flashback.
In short, if I mess up here, I'll get double the criticism.
But still...
"Let's do our best today!"
Maybe they'll go easy on me since I'm pretty? Well, I'll still do my best.
"Soo-hyun, a moment..."
"Ah, yes."
"Today, when we shoot..."
After a quick briefing with the director, I finally stepped onto the set.
Every time I enter this set, I'm reminded of its scale.
Now I understand why Jisoo was desperate to survive.
In such a massive space, with people dropping like flies, you'd have to struggle to survive.
You can't do it alone, so you need to gather people.
"Let's start filming!"
And so, today's filming officially began.
