Life is Easier If You’re Handsome

"Stop, stop! Boss! Why are you so strong? Huh? You’re even stronger than before!"
"Yeah, with this level, winning the Asian Games would be a piece of cake, right?"
"He could go pro right now... Whoa!"
"Flattery won’t get you anywhere."
"Flattery? You’ve got to admit, the burrito you made for me last weekend was amazing."

In mid-May, Kim Donghu was training hard at Drake Gym.

"Boss, the news hit the U.S. like crazy, they’re saying the heavyweight champion has arrived."
"Really?"
"Yeah, people are coming from all over for a match. What do you think, interested? Some of them are pros."
"Pros?"
"Yeah, there are heavyweight pros, among others... Looks like they all want to face you. What do you think?"
"I don’t mind."

While Kim Donghu was completely absorbed in his training at Drake Gym,
there were others who were experiencing every moment in real time.

"...Director, are we really supposed to be here?"
"We’ve been invited... we’ve been invited!"

It was Director Lee Seong-deok and Usami Chisako who were feeling this.

Normally, the short film competition wouldn’t allow participants to walk the red carpet on the first day.
However, due to Director Lee’s special circumstances, they were treated as major guests.

"I didn’t expect True Hero to be this popular internationally."
"Well, you directed it, so if you don’t know, who would?"
"It’s... It’s because Donghu’s not here. He’s my light and salt, the lighthouse that shows me the way forward...!"

The special circumstance was due to True Hero's overseas distribution schedule.
Typically, it takes around 3 to 6 months to export a film internationally.

True Hero took 4 months, and by coincidence, the schedule perfectly aligned with the Cannes Film Festival.
Of course, the chances of being invited to Cannes were slim—almost nonexistent.@@novelbin@@
