Free Web NovelThe response to the food truck was enthusiastic.
"I'll enjoy the meal, Yoomyeong!"
"Wow, the quality of this food is amazing!"
The food truck was equipped with a large griddle. Dishes such as beef bulgogi and japchae were prepared halfway in advance, then stir-fried and served hot on-site.
As it was early June and the weather was growing warmer, people scattered beneath the shade of trees around the set, enjoying a meal that felt like a long-awaited picnic.
However, So-jin could barely eat properly.
Although she had spent nearly ten years as a fan club member and had served as a manager several times, eating alone with her favorite actor was an entirely new experience for her. She was so nervous she probably would not have noticed even if food had gone up her nose.
This is insane... Look at how well those Goryeo official robes fit him. I'm seriously about to get a nosebleed.
For some reason, Yoomyeong seemed even more handsome in person.
Bohyung from had already been cute and cool enough to qualify as So-jin's lifelong ideal, but in just a few months he seemed to have become even more striking and eye-catching. Was it simply the difference between seeing someone on-screen and in real life?
Click.
She took a picture of Yoomyeong while he was eating. Even from up close, his cheeks, puffed out with food, looked perfectly smooth and poreless.
After swallowing his food, he asked,
"Haha, why are you taking pictures of this?"
"It's moments like this that make people become fans!"
Yoomyeong chuckled. By 2010, expressions like hers had already been systematized under the term fan-attracting points.
"What's your cafe nickname?"
"IOnlySeeBohyung!"
"Oomph—"
Yoomyeong nearly spat out his water before barely managing to swallow it down. He felt embarrassed, while she remained completely unfazed. Professionals truly were different.
"I enjoyed the meal. It was really delicious."
After he finished eating and cleaned his plate completely, So-jin took another picture. She explained that she needed proof that Yoomyeong had finished all his food.
With a mixture of embarrassment and amusement, Yoomyeong watched her work. freewebnoveℓ.com
"You may have already heard this, but videos aren't allowed because of spoilers, only photos. The director also asked that you include a watermark for <The Late Goryeo Dynasty & the Early Joseon Dynasty> for promotional purposes."
"No problem!"
So-jin answered confidently.
Even though she was a year older than him, her flushed cheeks and tone made her seem like a cute younger sister.
"Thank you. I'll see you again in Seoul with everyone else."
"OMG! Yes. I- I mean, thank you!"
After that, Yoomyeong returned to filming.
Watching him act, she could not help falling for him all over again.

The Late Goryeo Dynasty & the Early Joseon Dynasty Food Truck_Accounting_20050619.xls
— Please hurry up and release the scoops already. I can't wait.
— That's some impressively transparent accounting. President, you were famous for being meticulous even back at the other place (whispers).
— Are you an accountant? Your formatting skills are incredible.
— Ahh, I can't wait until midnight. Did you really watch him eat in person? He must've been so cute!!! But for the revival of GodD, I shall endure.
— When is the movie coming out? But honestly, Bohyung is so strong in my mind that I might lose focus seeing him in another role.
— President: Don't worry about that. After visiting the set, I've completely fallen for Lee Bang-won now. Who would've thought I'd become a fan of King Taejong? (Though technically it's still an extension of my love for Yoomyeong.)
The president was active under two nicknames.
Her official nickname as president, and the sub-account IOnlySeeBohyung.
Since she could not freely fangirl while using the president account, she used the official nickname for formal posts and IOnlySeeBohyung for emotional fan posts.
The fans who knew about her dual identity enjoyed playing along with it.
And the one who uploaded the scoop at midnight was not the president account, but IOnlySeeBohyung.
Post 4055 [Hanbok Scoop That'll Give You a Nosebleed] / IOnlySeeBohyung
First, let's get right into the scoops!
1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg
Did you know that Goryeo hanbok and Joseon hanbok are different? Ahh, I can't talk about it because of spoilers, but there's even mourning attire too (uploading that tomorrow). But why does this man look so sexy even in mourning clothes?
And the acting... Ahh, the acting. I already knew it when he played Bohyung, and when I watched five times in theaters, but this actor's acting skills are seriously incredible.
And it's not just because I'm a fan. Every time Yoomyeong acts, everyone from the director to the staff to the other actors watches him with completely dazed expressions... It makes me so proud.
And I... I seriously couldn't even breathe while watching Yoomyeong act.
Wow... As you all know, I've been in this industry for ten years, and although I've never visited a filming set before, Yoomyeong's acting carries a completely different kind of energy. He's not just my baby.
I'm seriously looking forward to <The Late Goryeo Dynasty & the Early Joseon Dynasty>. Feel free to share the photos, but please credit the source.
— Woah, I think I'm just settling down here. This place feels so comfortable.
— What's with this photo quality? Are you a professional photographer?
— Sharing this~
— The hanbok looks amazing. From today onward, my ideal type is a man who looks good in hanbok.
— Is it really that good? Now I'm seriously curious about his acting. I want to see it in person.
— Hello, President. Thank you for today. I enjoyed the meal.
— Fake accounts should be banned.
— I thought people like this disappeared after the drama ended, but I guess they're still around.
— Uh, it's not fake... You even took a picture of my empty plate to prove I finished my lunch today.
— President: Gasp
— Wait, what? Is it real? President, is this true?
— President: Yes... It appears to be real. Please wait, but why here of all places...
— Aaah!!! He actually appeared!!! Hello, I'm a fan! I love you!!
— I'm here on pilgrimage.
— I'm here on pilgrimage. I'm a fan. It's an honor.
— I'm here on pilgrimage. Best wishes for the movie.
The community was instantly thrown into chaos.
At Ho-chul's suggestion, Yoomyeong logged into the fan cafe to leave a comment. While there, he also looked through a few posts.
Most of them were photos of him, accompanied by intense reactions about how handsome or cool he was, along with messages supporting his future projects.
It was embarrassing, but it also made him feel warm inside.
In his previous life, he had heard the words I'm a fan only once.
Now hundreds, even thousands of people were calling themselves his fans.
The only way I can repay them is through good acting.
Yoomyeong engraved that determination into his heart once more.
Thanks to the actors' efforts, filming progressed smoothly. Today was the first day Lee Seon-ha and Yoomyeong would shoot a scene together.
The role played by Lee Seon-ha was Queen Sindeok, also known as Lady Kang.
Although Goryeo society was primarily monogamous, at the time it was customary for regional powerholders to maintain a wife in their home region (Hyangcheo) and another in the capital (Gyeongcheo) when advancing into Kaesong.
And the Gyeongcheo chosen by Lee Seong-Gye was Lady Kang, ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) who was roughly twenty years younger than him.
Born and raised within a prestigious Kaesong family, she embodied elegance and dignity, possessing a charm irresistible to a warrior who had spent his life on battlefields.
After their marriage, she exercised tremendous influence within the Lee family.
She arranged marriages between Lee Seong-Gye's sons and daughters from Goryeo's most prestigious noble families.
Originally, Lee Seong-Gye had possessed no political foundation in Kaesong.
Although he was a legendary warrior who returned victorious from every battlefield, the proud nobles of Goryeo mocked him as a country bumpkin who only knew how to cut people's heads off.
Lee Seong-Gye, who carried a deep inferiority complex toward the capital and its aristocracy, must have been delighted by his young and noble wife, who solidified his position by marrying their sons into prestigious families.
In fact, after Queen Sindeok's death, King Taejo personally toured burial grounds with court officials and chose to be buried beside her, suggesting that Queen Sindeok had been the love of his life rather than merely his legal wife, Queen Han.
How would a young boy from the northeastern provinces, who came to Kaesong in his early teens, have viewed his stepmother?
At first, Bang-won's relationship with Queen Sindeok was not bad.
The age gap between them was only about eleven years old.
(Estimated, since Queen Sindeok's exact birth year is unknown.)
To him, she must have seemed more like an older sister than a mother—a young and sophisticated noblewoman from Kaesong, always elegantly dressed and surrounded by pleasant fragrances.
Her soft laughter and the gentle touch of the hand stroking his hair.
He must have wanted to grow closer to her, perhaps even seeing her as his ideal woman.
There were even records of Queen Sindeok sighing, "Why isn't Bang-won my son?" while watching him study diligently, suggesting that their relationship had not initially been poor.
However, Bang-won was perceptive and sharp.
Especially after feeling abandoned by Jeong Mong-ju, he developed the habit of closely observing people and refusing to let anyone approach him carelessly. Eventually, he came to understand Queen Sindeok's true nature.
Beneath her eternally gentle and radiant smile lay ambitions every bit as dark as his own.
Her willingness to marry a man twenty years older who already had a wife.
Her efforts to marry Bang-won and his brothers into Kaesong's powerful noble families in order to strengthen their father's foundation.
And the way she persuaded her husband to bring Jeong Mong-ju in as a mentor while supporting Bang-won's education.
Every one of those actions had been driven by purpose.
Realizing this, Bang-won looked up at the sky and laughed.
"So that's it. The art of flattery and deception, serving the strong while betraying the weak, the behavior of a two-faced person. Mother fits all of it perfectly. She didn't learn it. She's a born schemer."
Bang-won did not dislike her.
She was a kindred spirit and a comrade in their great cause, someone whose judgment he trusted more than anyone else's.
He did not know what would happen after their great cause succeeded, but until then, he believed he could trust her.
And yet, sometimes he felt disgust while looking at her.
Knowing her true nature, he found her innocent facade repulsive.
Yoomyeong carefully sorted through those emotions toward Queen Sindeok while reviewing the scene they would be filming today.
At the time, Bang-won was twenty-two years old.
It was Scene 58, where he visited Queen Sindeok before departing as part of Yi Saek's delegation to the Ming Dynasty, serving as a chief clerk.
In that scene, he deliberately provoked her, drawing out her true self.
And after confirming each other's true intentions, they agreed to become collaborators in their ambitious plan to seize the throne.
However, what Bang-won revealed was not his true face.
His master had once taught him:
"You should reveal your true colors only when doing so serves a purpose."
By the age of twenty-two, Bang-won had already become exceptionally skilled at putting that lesson into practice.
Bang-won and Queen Sindeok.
Two ambitious people of the same breed joined hands after a tense confrontation.
The filming of one of the movie's iconic scenes
Was just around the corner.
