‘···do!’

Lee Hye-jin, who had been waiting for the broadcast with her hands folded, stared at the television screen with sparkling eyes.

After episode 1 aired last week, numerous memes were created on social media expressing anticipation for Al-Eum-Al-Eum < This is the First Traveling Troupe>.

50% of episode 1 included the process of Uhm Ji-young, Moon Yu-hwa, and Yoon Seul-ah arriving in Munich, enjoying a short trip, watching a play, and then moving to Berlin to prepare for the play.

Since they are not actors who often appear on entertainment shows, it was healing just to see the three actors enjoying their trip and having fun conversations.

But the real thing started after the commercial break.

The startled reaction of the production crew, who happened to find Yu Il filming in Berlin, was a signal.

– Isn’t that Han Yu-il?

The surprised face of the second producer and the shaking camera were used in the broadcast without editing.

Immediately after their lively reaction, Han Yu-il appeared.

The only sight of him acting in a cafe in Berlin.

‘It was really cool.’

Even thinking about the moment when Han Yu-il first appeared, my heart raced.

It was an edit that clearly showed that the production team put special effort into it. Yoo Il’s unique acting in English created numerous memes and attracted people’s attention.

After that, the process by which PD Yoo Ji-hyuk recruited Han Yu-il in Korea was broadcast.

[A few days before leaving for Germany, JJ Entertainment]

– PD Yu: Of course! We even cover return airfare!

– Yuil: I want to do it.

[Cool deal completed]

The humorous edit, as if Yuil’s mind had been decided on a plane ticket, was retweeted by other Blue Chat accounts other than Han Yuil’s fan account and became a hot topic.

So, episode 1 was up to the moment when the three actors and Han Yu-il met for the first time in Berlin.

Episode 2, which aired a week later, started with an anxious atmosphere, unlike the lively first episode.

– No… but is it possible?

– I’m saying this because we’re alone, but honestly, I think it’s going to be difficult. Because… this is hard for me too. It’s not some kind of acting workshop. You have to stand on stage.

As Yoon Seul-ah and Moon Yu-hwa spoke seriously to the production crew, Lee Hye-jin began to worry for no reason.

But those worries soon disappeared.

Because rehearsals have started.

– Bad quality…

Han Yu-il… No, ‘The Portrait of Dorian’ spoke for the first time.

Hyejin Lee opened her eyes wide.

‘···her.’

Even though it was an edited screen, the tension of the time was clearly felt. As Lee Hye-jin watched her live broadcast, she even forgot about her plan to post live on Blue Chat. She fell into rehearsal.

– ···I am your creation. The soul of ‘The Beautiful Dorian Gray’, whom you love.

A close-up showed Moon Yu-hwa’s eyes widening as she watched the rehearsal from the edge of the practice room.

It was a performance that didn’t feel like the editing was excessive.

Hyejin Lee, who was watching the rehearsal as if fascinated, quickly blinked at the credits that suddenly appeared as soon as the rehearsal ended.

[Next episode preview!]

Hyejin Lee looked at the trailer for episode 3 of < This is My First Time with a Traveling Theater Troupe> with blank eyes.

‘It’s already over…?’

Lee Hye-jin looked at the clock with an incredulous expression and was surprised to see that an hour had already passed.

In fact, < This is my first time with a traveling theater company> was a program that the actors felt burdened by. Because I had to act properly on stage, it was far from entertainment that I could do comfortably. That was also the reason why actors with long acting experience were mainly recruited.

‘it’s crazy···’

Hyejin Lee picked up her cell phone to soothe the lingering pain that had not gone away.

Until last week, I was like, ‘So why is Han Yu-il there?’ Hyejin Lee, who was often used to seeing the same reaction, began her search with a mixture of worry and excitement.

– Traveling theater company is fun.

[Yoo Ji-hyuk is Yoo Ji-hyuk… I don’t know when each of us are practicing, it seems difficult, but as soon as rehearsals start, we work together so well, it’s so cool…]

┗ ㅇㅈ.. Of course, there is some directing, but the rehearsal ㄹㅇ gives me great pleasureㅠㅠ

┗ 22 It felt like watching a sports film

┗┗ Exciting!

– Anyone watching a traveling theater company?? Please take my questions

[I don’t know much because I’ve only seen the clip from Episode 1, but in the trailer, there was something being filmed on Han Yu-il’s terrace… What is that being filmed? Didn’t you go because of the Hanyuil Film Festival?]

┗ I went there because of the ㅇㅇ film festival, right?

┗┗ But why are you filming..?

┗┗ That’s not an official schedule, it’s just a short story I shot personally!

┗┗ ㅇㅇ It was revealed that the film was filmed with two directors and an actor after becoming close friends at the after-party.

┗ Full video can be viewed here (link)

┗┗ Huh ㄱㅅㄱㅅ

┗ I was surprised as soon as I heard Amy Baumbeck’s name..

┗┗ I don’t know much about it in Korea, but Amy Baumbeck and Philip Siemado are hot directors these days.

– But this is what I feel while watching a traveling theater company.

[(Capture image of traveling theater company)

Isn’t it possible that Uhm Ji-young and Moon Yu-hwa gave birth to Han Yu-il?]

Hyejin Lee couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the captured image attached to the post.

In the photo, Han Yu-il was sitting in the middle, talking intently, while Uhm Ji-young and Moon Yu-hwa, sitting on either side, were looking at him with affectionate and deep eyes. It was a scene that took place around the middle of episode 2, right before rehearsal.

┗ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at it falling down

┗ Ah hahahaha

┗ But I could see that everyone looked pretty on Han Yoo-il.

┗┗ Han Yoo-il looks better than I thought.

┗┗ ㅇㅇ They say they take good care of you even during break time, but even if it were me, I think you would be pretty. Haha.

Since then, the ‘Wandering Theater Company’ began to be talked about in various communities.

– (Chat) Does anyone see the traveling theater company?

[I got to watch it while eating dinner late, and it was so fun~ You all act really well..^^]

┗ Me! Today’s episode was really coolㅠㅠㅠ

┗ Han Yu-il? That guy is really good at acting. Haha, he’s also good to adults.

┗┗ Oh, is that young friend’s name Han Yu-il? I wondered where she came from as an actress~ ^^.

┗ I saw it too~~ I want to see the play, but I guess I can’t see it in Korea~?

– The traveling theater company is fun.

[I was flipping channels and saw nothing to watch so I started watching and the acting was crazy. Even though it was a rehearsal, I got goosebumps;;]

┗ I agree. While watching it, I thought it would be nice if the three of them, Uhm Ji-young, Moon Yu-hwa, and Yoon Seul-ah, could make a movie together.

┗ I watched it without any expectations and it was fun. The young male actor also acted well.

┗┗ I thought it was Madam, but I was surprised by her good acting. Haha.

While various reactions were posted on social media from those who saw < It's My First Time at a Traveling Theater Troupe>, Han Yu-il was in the practice room. So far, Yoo Il has gone to the set for five filming sessions, and on days when she is not filming, she mostly practices in the practice room. One of the reasons she said was that the officetel she had found from the company was close to the company, so she could go to the practice room without any hassle.

Regardless of Yu Yun’s condition, the filming itself went smoothly. Director Won Hee-soo was satisfied with each filming, but after hearing this from Seo Hyun-joo, Yu Il found it difficult to fully immerse himself in the filming set.

Since we are still filming the point where ‘Gi-won’ carefully approaches Jin-hee, it was fortunate that the sense of heterogeneity and awkwardness felt by Yu-il suited the drama well.

‘···The problem comes later.’

As Yuil pondered with his brows furrowed, Bwin’s voice was heard.

【Actually, Yuil’s goal is not currently a major problem in acting.】

Bwin continued quickly.

【For example, in the case of Meisner, he believed that an actor’s unconscious ambition and desire for power could become the basis for a unique role interpretation in the overall flow of the play.】

Being desperate can help?

As Yuil thought with a shocked expression on his face, he soon heard Bwin’s voice.

【To be precise, Yoo Il’s ‘desire to survive’ may also be helpful in achieving success as an actor.】

A worn-out laugh flowed from Yuil’s mouth.

In other words, this also meant that the current Yuil was not able to do that.

I needed something else.

Something different from the exercises he does now.

【···If Yuil wants, you can try the ‘background painting’ training where you can experience the background of the scenario in advance.】

Han Yu-il opened his eyes wide at the unexpected words.

‘Background art?’

【You play a role in the ‘background’, which is a visual, auditory, and tactile illusion created based on the scenario.】

Is it like some kind of virtual experience?

“I’ll try.”

Yuil nodded and frowned at a sudden thought.

···Why didn’t you tell me this until now?

【Let’s start the ‘background’ of scene 21.】

At that moment, Yuil’s eyes turned pure white.

.

.

.

Han Yu-il slowly blinked his eyes.

Slowly, my vision began to become clearer.

‘This is…’

It’s a coffee shop.

Also, the coffee shop looks exactly like the set where he was filming until yesterday.

It was a coffee shop in the 1980s where Gwon and Jinhee met and talked, without the filming equipment crowding around the set and the staff watching them at every moment.

Yuil looked around the interior, which was lined with checkered tablecloths and thick red chairs. In the middle of the cafe, there was an unknown singer holding an acoustic guitar and singing a folk song.

Yuil slowly sat down on the chair. He felt the same way as if he were sitting on a regular chair. He lifted his hand and slowly swept the tablecloth.

‘···This is all an illusion?’

Rather than just showing the background, I felt like I was really inside the background.

When Yuil was startled by the unbelievable sight, someone walked in front of him.

Yuil took a deep breath when he saw that face.

‘···!’

A woman was walking. A woman slowly enters the cafe, wearing an elegant light purple dress with her short hair.

In contrast to her quick, confident steps, the woman had an anxious expression.

【This is the ‘Jinhee’ that Yuil imagined while reading the scenario.】

Jinhee… was the face of young Ha Seon-ok.

‘Jinhee’, whom Yuil admired over and over again, was right in front of him.

“···Here, I see you again.”

When Jinhee opened her mouth, Yuil answered without realizing it.

The line of ‘prayer’ that he had recited over and over again flowed from his mouth.

“Because I… waited.”

“You waited for me?”

“···Jinhee.”

“Say no more.”

Jinhee responded coldly and looked out the window. Her Yuil followed her and looked out her window.

This part of the set was covered with chroma key cloth, but now the scene beyond the window could be fully seen.

A woman with a perm and wearing wide pants and a man with large round glasses passed by. A yellow private taxi passed by in the narrow driveway. Yuil, who was looking at the people passing by, slowly opened his mouth.

“Have you ever been on a trip?”

Jinhee’s eyes slightly wavered at Yuil’s question. She seemed to think for a moment and then slowly opened her mouth.

“yes. “With my family when I was young.”

“Come with me too.”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

Jinhee was startled and looked around, but no one was watching them. Yoo Il then opened his mouth to speak.

At that moment, my breathing suddenly began to become difficult.

‘···!’

Yuil felt dizzy and leaned against the table.

【Heart rate decreased by 19bpm. Body temperature drops by 1.5°C. Oxygen saturation 93.8%. Hypoxia alert. Stop the ‘background’ of scene 21.】

With Bwin’s voice, my eyes turned black.

Han Yu-il slowly opened his eyes. The 80’s scenery that was visible just a moment ago disappeared, and a practice room covered in mirrors appeared.

“···under.”

The breath that had been blocked came out of Han Yu-il’s mouth.

It felt like I had had a long dream.

Yuil slowly stood up. But as soon as he got to his feet, his legs gave out.

【Excessive use of ‘background shoes’ may cause fatigue, hypoxia, headaches and chest pain.】

…So that’s why I haven’t said anything until now.

Yuil looked at his face reflected in the mirror. He had a complexion that could not be said to be very good even with empty words.

‘but···’

In my entire acting career, I have never acted with all my senses so open.

Through this, I felt like I could find a clue to fully immerse myself in acting.

‘···I can’t do it often.’

Yuil gave up standing up and lay down on the floor.

‘It’ll get better if you get some rest.’

But then, an unexpected voice was heard.

“···Mr. Yoo Il?”

Kim Sun-ah was standing at the entrance to the practice room.

Turned white.
