Just Blame Me

Lisa's interactions with Sora on Weibo comforted Sora's fans. At first, they'd been a bit disgruntled about her failing the audition, but seeing how gracious Sora was, those fans couldn't say anything more. And since Lisa's attitude was very modest, Sora's fans looked at her in a positive light.

After seeing Lisa and Sora's exchange on Weibo, Junji Hyun also sent her a congratulatory message. Lisa didn't know if it was because she didn't want everyone to think she was petty or for some other reason, but in any case, since she sent her congratulations, Lisa also responded with thanks.

For the next few days, Universe continued to release casting news for The Performer, posting news about one role each day. Some would call their actions a bit excessive, even.

Since the film spent so much effort in procuring its main leads, they'd also have done a good job with the supporting roles. Of the cast reported so far, all were popular actors with a lot of fans, Mingyu among them.

As Universe's prince, it was a surprise to no one that he would be in this film. Although his acting skills weren't anything spectacular, at the least, he was very popular, with more than 20 million fans on Weibo.

In The Performer, he would be playing the role of a junior officer to the main character, Wu Jang. His role would be... to search out Wu Jang when he ran into difficulties.

During this period of time, The Performer could be said to be building momentum. The original author's popularity, coupled with the spectacular cast, had fans eager for the movie's release. Of course, there was no shortage of people bad-mouthing the film-but that's existed ever since Jinwoo sold the rights for a movie.

Regardless of the storm elsewhere, Lisa stayed in at home to study her script.

Filming for the movie would start at the end of the month.

Because she was the female lead, she had a lot of scenes. And a lot of them were with Taehyung as well, so she really had to prepare amply for it.

When Jungkook returned home,Lisa was still sitting at the window, reading her script. Her posture looked nearly the same as when he'd left.

He took off his suit jacket and walked over to her. "Still reading the script? Were you reading it all day?"

Lisa was a bit startled, seemingly just realizing that someone had walked up to her. She turned to look at Jungkook. After blinking her eyes slowly, "Oh, Teacher Jinwoo wrote the screenplay too. And even though I've read the original novel several times, the screenplay feels completely different. It's so exciting to read."

No wonder Teacher Jinwoo was Teacher Jinwoo. She had a feeling that when the movie hit theaters, all those people saying that the film would ruin the original novel would end up slapping themselves on the face.

Jungkook pulled the script from her hands and saw that there were tons of annotations written on it. He pulled Lisa up from the sofa. "Don't just sit still all day. You should move around and exercise a bit."

Lisa pursed her lips. "You sit all day long in your office. Isn't that the same?"

Jungkook chuckled and nodded. "You're right. It seems both of our exercising activities are severely lacking. I guess we can only make it up at night."
