Rape? Yasuta, who had been hesitant, barely managed to come to his senses.
mudfish.
-hook!
Yasuta, who had quite long but disheveled hair, forced himself to suppress the heavy urge to urinate. Then he desperately replayed the scenario that had been hammered into his head. Let’s proceed. Open your mouth. Move your body.
‘uh?’
At that moment, Yasuta, the handsome man, realized that his body had stiffened. His body was shaking because of the cold. However, it was not because of that that his joints were stiff. It was only then that Yasuta realized. He was overwhelmed by the momentum.
I too was moved by Kang Woo-jin’s restrained aura and acting.
There were several reasons why Yasuta, playing the role of Ginjo, suddenly felt a heavy sense of urination. First, it was the eerie filming location. The darkening sky, the gloomy fishing village, the calm sea, and himself on the boat that swayed above it.
This alone was enough to create a sense of crisis.
But what stops Yasuo more than anything is this.
“······”
Kang Woojin, who was now staring at him. No, it was Iyota Kiyoshi. The old wooden boat was narrow. You could only reach the ends if you stretched out your arms. That was why Woojin’s eyes, face, and expression were clearly visible to Yasuta.
Kang Woo-jin was now blank.
His eyes and nose are just decoration. It is nothing more or less than that to prove that what is on his neck is a face. Woojin is looking at Yasuta, but it is not enough. He is breathing hard, but the sound is faint. His upper and lower lips are also calmly covered.
How on earth could they possibly create such a form? Nothing could be read.
An expression that does not show even a single drop of moisture. It is dry.
But that twist completes the scene. It maximizes the eeriness and grotesqueness of this environment. In fact, the one who caused Yasta to feel the urge to urinate was Woojin on the other side. Every time Yasta made eye contact with Kang Woojin, who was sitting quietly nearby, he felt something tingling in his lower abdomen.
‘My eyes are dead… No, it’s acting. It’s acting. I’m only doing mine. Next time. Somehow.’
Yasuta managed to unfold the next route with great difficulty.
-Ugh.
I see Kang Woo-jin sitting still on the front, at the end of the wooden boat. I look down. I check my appearance. I am barefoot. I am wearing a shirt and suit pants, but I don’t have the suit jacket I was wearing. Soon, Yasuta dilated his pupils. The camera on the right boat captured it up close.
At this time.
-Squeak.
A wooden boat with an unclear face parked right next to Yasuta’s boat, and the boats collided with each other, making a dull noise.
-Boom!
Naturally, Yasuta’s head turned. On top of the ship that had just been hit, a man who looked like a homeless person was chewing gum. He was smiling crookedly. Yasuta. No, the trembling spreading through Ginjo’s body had more than doubled in intensity.
He turned his face straight ahead and shouted at Kang Woo-jin or Iyota Kiyoshi.
“T-That’s rape!! Say something that makes sense to Mama!!!”
“······”
The camera captured the two of them in one shot, from the side, and Woojin, expressionless, blinked his eyes a couple of times as if nothing had happened before speaking.
“It’ll be okay. Ginzo, you just have to leave yourself to him.”
“Wait, wait, wait! That’s not what I meant!!”
“You already have experience. I guess you had a lover while you were in prison.”
“······”
Ginjo, whose eyes had widened as he stepped forward, made his last desperate attempt. He rushed at Kiyoshi. Thanks to this, the ship they were on rocked violently. However, it was in vain.

-Bam!!
“Kwak!!!”
Before Ginjo could do anything, Kiyoshi quickly struck his saddle. It was a speed of a high level, and Ginjo collapsed helplessly on the wooden boat, croaking. Then, when Ginjo’s coughing sound became faint, he changed his attitude 180 degrees.
“Ugh! Sob······Save me. Please! I’ll do anything! Save me!!”
She held Kiyoshi’s plain shoes with both hands, crying and snotting, but Kiyoshi’s dry tone of voice did not change.
“I haven’t said anything about killing you yet.”
“Oh, by any chance! Matsu-chan! No, are you Tsukasa’s husband??! Ah! I was wrong!! Never again! I will not see you until I die!!”
“Tsukasa. Ah- Mr. Tsukasa Matsu from the accounting team at the company you worked for? Your current lover.”
That is, talking about an affair.
“But you got it wrong. It seems like you really don’t remember me.”
“I’m sorry! I did everything wrong! Please save me! Please!!”
That was when.
-Ugh.
Someone was patting Ginjo’s head as he lay face down. It was the hand of a man who looked like a homeless person from the boat next door. Ginjo was startled by this and let out a scream.
“Hehehe!! Anything! I’ll do anything!! Just let me live!! Please, please!!!”
His screams echoed throughout the gloomy sea. On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin remained calm.
“I repeat, I haven’t said I’m going to kill you yet. Ginjo, say hello first.”
“Oh, no. That’s not it!”
“Why? We’re going to be friends anyway, so it’d be good if we became friends.”
A man who looked like a homeless person who kept smiling spat out the gum he was chewing on Ginjo! Ginjo trembled as if he had been shot. This scene was vividly captured on several cameras, and Kiyoshi, who had been looking down at Ginjo with lifeless eyes, lowered his upper body slightly.
“Ginjo. Do you remember Toka? Misaki Toka.”
A shudder. Something flashed through Ginjo’s mind, and his body and mouth stopped. That lasted about 5 seconds. Soon, he slowly raised his head and met Kang Woojin’s eyes. Ginjo let out a shriek, his lips trembling.
“That, that’s right!! You! You! Kiyoshi! Iyota Kiyoshi!!”
That was the moment.
“Cut.”
Director Kyotaro’s autograph was spread across the sea covered in gentle sea fog thanks to special effects.
“NG, let’s go again.”
A few dozen minutes later.
Around the dock where ‘Stranger’ was filmed, dozens of staff members were busy preparing for reshoots. Kang Woo-jin got off the boat and was having his makeup touched up by the makeup team, and Yasuta was listening to director Kyotaro’s directions on the monitor.
First shoot, first scene, first NG.
Because the starting point was Yasuta, who was in charge of Ginjo. Of course, the staff’s reputation was a little different.
“Didn’t Mr. Oogimoto’s acting just now look good? It seemed that way to me.”
“Me too. I thought the quality would be better, but- well, our eyes and the director’s eyes are different.”
Rather, there were many who said that it was better than Yasuta’s usual acting skills. However, it was not the tension that Director Kyotaro wanted.
“Mr. Oogimoto, your emotions were outstanding. However, they seemed excessive. I think you should tone down your strength a bit.”

“···All right.”
“Let the emotions spread out, but compress the tone. Right now, it seems too ‘I’m acting’-y.”
“sorry.”
“It’s okay, it was the first cut.”
Japanese master director Kyotaro Tanokuchi included many things in this ‘Strange Parasite’. One of them was that he wanted to turn the Japanese acting scene upside down. The Japanese entertainment industry, which is rotten to the core, is so rigid that even directors have given up on change, and as a result, all Japanese actors have ended up acting in a stereotypical manner.
To scream, squeal, or act excessively or excessively.
Exaggerated and eye-catching acting may seem explosive at first glance, but inside it is no different from running wild in an empty space. This was Director Kyotaro’s philosophy.
‘That may ring in your ears, but it can’t resonate in your heart.’
Because of that, while the current Japanese acting scene may be acceptable internally, it is dominated by negative reviews overseas. It goes beyond likes and dislikes. That is why Japanese content has a problem in causing a craze like the Korean Wave.
On the other hand, what was Kang Woo-jin like just now?
He delivered his lines in the same tone without any shouting or yelling, but he dominated the scene. He swallowed up Yasuta with his first words. He poured his presence into the camera.
‘That’s the real resonance and transmission.’
This was clearly proven in the murmurs of the staff members who were rushing to prepare for reshoots.
“But Woojin’s acting… I don’t know. Doesn’t it feel different?”
“Yeah, it feels like it’s hard to see it as acting?”
“Oh yeah, that’s right.”
“But it was strange. It sounded like he was speaking softly, but I could hear him very clearly.”
Obviously, if anyone saw this scene, they would only focus on Kang Woo-jin. Yasuta was just a sacrifice. However, Director Kyotaro did not want that kind of situation as a director. A movie cannot fly with just one actor standing out. The chemistry of all the actors was important.
So, not only Kang Woojin but also Yasta had to awaken.
Then a second signal from the same scene spread.
“Hi- Q!”
Starting over from the beginning. Yasuta has improved with some restraint, but still doesn’t catch Director Kyotaro’s eye. So NG again. Re-action. The scene is repeated. When NG came out again on the 4th shoot, Yasuta sighed without realizing it.
“Phew.”
Because it was dark.
‘What the heck? What’s the problem?’
The lines and emotions were not wrong. The acting was also modified to fit the director’s direction. However, the result was the same. Darkness gradually fell on Yasuta’s handsome face.
Burden. And frustration.
I feel a huge pressure. I say it’s not enough, but Yasuta can’t figure out what it is. It’s disgusting. It wasn’t because of this situation.
‘······Was I this lacking?’
It was because his own lack of ability was glaring. Yasuta took a deep breath. Then he glanced at Director Kyotaro. The director was having a profound conversation with the staff. Was the emergency called because of me?
There are 5 re-actions from the first scene.
Filming a movie requires momentum. But the brakes were applied from the first shot. Even because of himself. Yasuta, who was on a wooden boat, bit his molars without letting anyone know.
Kang Woo-jin, who was on the same boat as him, looked at him with a poker face. At the same time, he thought.
‘Swoop- I feel a little out of breath. Are you okay, sir?’
I was vaguely worried. He seemed to be out of breath. Then he spat out low Japanese, as if he was trying to sound strong.

“Mr. Oogimoto, please wait a moment.”
“yes?”
“It’s Term. Take your time.”
“······”
Woojin said this to calm Yasuta’s breathing, and he also thought the fog surrounding the wooden boat was a problem.
‘They say that if you breathe in this machine-sprayed stuff, it’s bad for your health.’
But then Yasuta, who was handsome, suddenly realized something.
‘···Term? Are you saying that we should give some space between each line? Because it’s too fast? Are you saying that we should slow down the stress point and insert the character’s agony?’
Soon, Yasuta looked back at his own acting and asked Woojin.
“Was I in a hurry?”
It was a question about acting. Kang Woo-jin nodded with a cynical face.
“Yes, it’s urgent.”
Breath, that is.
Kang Woojin and Yasuta face each other on a wooden boat. The distance is close, but for some reason, misunderstandings arise in their conversation. They are throwing out words with different meanings, but there is no problem in communication. Woojin is silent, and Yasuta slowly lowers his head and admits.
Am I in a hurry? Well, I saw it right in front of me, so what Woojin said must be true.
“Is that so…?”
Various emotions gradually began to surface in him. A faint sense of loss, jealousy, etc. On the other hand, Woojin placed his hand on his chest and made a small gesture.
“Raise your head and take a deep breath. You’ll feel better.”
Are you telling me to calm down a little? Don’t let yourself get too caught up in the current mood? Yasuta smiled slightly without realizing it. The age difference isn’t that big, but he’s nowhere near that Korean actor’s composure.
“······thank you.”
Yasuta, who soon came to his senses, thought. To be exact, he looked back on his own acting.
‘Were you in a hurry to throw out your lines rather than express your feelings? As if you were being chased by something······’
At this point, Director Kyotaro, who was watching the two on the monitor, tilted his head.
“Woojin-ssi- Are you telling me something? No, I don’t think Woojin-ssi is that type of person. Is he a good person to talk to?”
Five Japanese reporters who were allowed on-site and were filming the set with large cameras hanging from their necks were also chatting. The topic, of course, was Kang Woo-jin and Yasuta talking on the wooden boat.
“The two of you are having a profound conversation?”
“It’s serious. I guess it’s because the first scene is so long. It’s already the fifth time. Since Director Kyotaro only called Yasuta, it’s likely his problem.”
“······I hate to admit it, but honestly, it’s true that Kang Woo-jin crushed Yasuta with his acting. Yasuta is too ordinary. He has no special features.”
“Well, I only saw Kang Woo-jin throughout the filming. Was that profound conversation really some kind of acting advice from Kang Woo-jin?”
“But it can’t be like that already, right? How many times have we met? After all, what kind of advice can a first-year veteran give to Yasuta?”
“Well, it doesn’t make sense that your acting will change drastically just because you get some advice.”
at the same time.
-widely!
The sound of a slate crackled from the scene. This meant that the fifth filming had begun. As if to prove it, Director Kyotaro’s signal also rang.
“Hi- Q!!”

Again, Kang Woo-jin and Yasuta started acting. Of course, it was the same scene. Yasuta came to his senses. And he found Kang Woo-jin without any expression. It was Yasuta who would have made exaggerated gestures as if he was asking who it was. It was similar during the 4th filming.
however.
“······”
This time, Yasta was clearly different. He looked at Kang Woojin as if in a daze, then looked around at the sea covered in fog. He also looked down at his bare feet.
Take a break from thinking.
After fully feeling the sensations and emotions, Yasuta’s pupils gradually dilated. Only then did Yasuta and Kang Woojin exchange lines.
“Long time no see, Ginjo.”
“Who, who are you?”
The tone of the ginjo was missing an exclamation mark. There was no exaggeration. On the other hand, a strange goosebumps appeared. Director Kyotaro furrowed his brows and clenched his fists, his face glued to the monitor.
“Yeah, that’s it. Ginjo has to start off like he’s lost his soul.”
Then, Director Kyotaro stopped and looked at the expressionless Kang Woojin on the monitor.
“Mr. Oogimoto’s acting changed 180 degrees… What kind of advice did Mr. Woojin really give?”
The reporters were also busy talking in low voices.
“Wh, what. Yasuta’s acting suddenly… Did he use magic or something?”
The ending was, of course, Kang Woo-jin.
“No, it was Kang Woojin who told me something. I’m sure of it.”
