Actor Lee Soon-jae has created a touching episode in ‘Surviving as a Celebrity Manager’.
In the 11th episode of ‘Yeonmaesal’ which aired on the 12th, Lee Soon-jae faced the biggest crisis in his acting career. He had a memory problem due to the after-effects of a recent minor stroke. The doctor’s diagnosis was that the concept of time could be fuzzy and confusing until it was right.
Memory problems were fatal for an actor who had to memorize a large number of lines. There was even a rumor about leaving the investment company. Lee Soon-jae, who had never given up a project with his own hands acting more than 60 years since 1957, wanted to finish this film well till the end. It was because of his desire: “I want to remain an actor that my boys are not ashamed of.” So, I went to the office and sincerely asked the executives, “Please help me not leave a stain until the end of my 60 years of acting life.”
Despite Lee Soon-jae’s strong will, his memories of reading the script went back to the past. It has been more than 20 years since the late CEO Crown Prince (Lee Hwang-eui) and the fired director Jang Myeong-ae (Shim So-young) managed him. Confused that the crown prince was dead, he locked the waiting room door in shock and didn’t move. To make matters worse, the investment company was arriving at the shooting location to directly check on his condition.
Jang Myung-ae was the only person who could resolve this situation. Unaware of the seriousness of the situation, when Hae-jun (Heo Seong-tae) spoke lightly about Myeong-ae’s reinstatement, foreman Cheon Je-in (Kwak Seon-yeong) became angry and yelled, “There are people who notice and I fear you for the money you have, but nobody respects you”. After realizing the painful “attack on facts”, Hae-joon saved Jang Myeong-ae with Je-in Cheon and turned his sincere heart into saying, “I want to become a respected boss.” Jang Myeong-ae, who appeared on the scene, put an end to the situation using her wits.
But the real problem came the next day. Lee Soon-jae made the mistake of speaking his counterpart Ko Eun-gyeol’s (Shin Hyeon-seung) lines and went back in time. While filming was in full swing, the male actor kept making mistakes in his lines and was reprimanded by the director. Lee Soon-jae, who saw this, said he had a similar time and advised him to “memorize the other person’s lines too.” At the time, the male actor escaped a rumor from a staff member calling him “Mr. Lee Soon-jae”. Lee Soon-jae, now a great actor, met himself when he was a novice actor who was scolded for a mistake in his lines. His affectionate eyes of him looking at each other as a young man aroused feelings of despondency.
Lee Soon-jae still advises youngsters to memorize all lines, saying, “It’s good to understand the whole flow of the script.” Ko Eun-gyeol, who had been taught the secret of acting, covered up Lee Soon-jae’s mistake by improvising, saying, “Have you memorized all my lines yet?” In this way, the whole scene was arranged, and under the direction of Soon-jae Lee, who played the role of maestro, the beautiful ensemble melody of the orchestra sounded. Also, “Memories become sharper over time because you paint them with memories. Good memories are painted more beautifully, and memories of regret sit like stones in your heart. If you have regrets, you should fix them before it’s too much.” late.” “Lee Soon-jae’s line flowed. The calm voice of a great actor who has never been lazy for over 60 years and ignited his passion for acting resonated deep in his heart.
However, the crisis of the managers of Method Entertainment tainted with regret has reached its peak. Matthew Oh (Lee Seo-jin) cried with regret as he looked around the empty house that his wife Song Eun-ha (Jeong Hye-young) had put up for sale. Kim Joong-don (Seo Hyeon-woo), blinded by Kang Hee-sun’s (Hwang Se-on) worries, spread rumors that her debut film, the work of director Oh Hoon (Noh Min-woo) , it was ‘Golden 49’ , and eventually the production of the film was halted due to the withdrawal of investments. So Hyun-joo (Joo Hyun-young), who had doubts about his qualifications as a manager, finally chose to go to his hometown, Busan. And Cheon Je-in didn’t want to regret it even after his death, so after expressing his sincerity, he was able to reunite with Lee Sang-wook (Noh Sang-hyun). However, in the final episode preview released at the end of the broadcast, she was surprised to see a pregnancy test machine, foreshadowing another turning point.
The final episode of ‘Surviving as a Celebrity Manager’ airs today (13) at 10:30pm on tvN.
