Chapter 679: Rising (3)
The rehearsal began, and Deok-Bae and I faced each other with swords drawn. From this point on, we had to coordinate our action choreography, consult with each other, and follow the stunt director's instructions.
But maybe because of the tension from the first broadcast, Deok-Bae was already fully immersed in his role. Thanks to that, there was a chilling intensity in Deok-Bae's eyes.
The character I was doubling for, Taecheong-Rang, was a traitor under the orders of Baekje, Silla's enemy, and a sworn enemy trying to kill Kim Chun-Chu, a noble of Silla and father of Kim Beop-Min—the role Deok-Bae was playing.
Maybe that was the reason he looked like he could swing his sword at any moment.
Just then, Ahn Seok-Chil let out a quiet exclamation. "Wow~ Deok-Bae's gaze is great. Yeah. An action actor's gaze needs to be alive!"
'No, Mr. Ahn, this is not the time to be impressed by his gaze!'
Of course, both our swords were plastic props with special coating to make them look real. And since we were covered in protective gear, there was no risk of getting cut.
'But still, it's gonna hurt if I get hit!'
Unaware of my inner thoughts, Ahn Seok-Chil smiled contentedly as he corrected Deok-Bae's stance a few times, then approached me. "Chief Jung's posture is quite good. Have you trained in swordsmanship somewhere?"
"No?"
Ahn Seok-Chil smiled warmly seeing how I held the sword. "For someone who hasn't, your grip is pretty proper."
"Oh~ I just picked it up from working with actors."
