Episode 153
The scene shifted once more.
This time, Do Yuna was heading to kindergarten with heavy sighs, her face screaming that she’d rather be anywhere else.
However, there was one thing distinctly different from a typical child’s commute to school.
-Sigh. Even riding in a 200-million-won foreign luxury sedan, my life feels utterly joyless.
Indeed.
The car Do Yuna rode in was a gleaming, high-end sedan.
The person driving up front was her personal chauffeur.
-No, seriously, if I go to kindergarten today, people are really going to get hurt! Are you ignoring the original novel? Huh? I said, are you ignoring it?
-The life of a seven-year-old that even adults won’t listen to—it’s truly difficult and sorrowful.
“Miss. We’ve arrived. I’ll open the door for you, but please don’t burst out like you did last time. If you get hurt doing that, I’ll be scolded….”
-…Uncle, you work so hard…. But… I don’t want to do this either….
-What can I do when my original self keeps bursting out like this….
The moment the door opened, Do Yuna squeezed her eyes shut and bolted out like a bullet.
All while lamenting how her body moved on its own despite her unwillingness.
“Miss!!!!”
-…Ah. This is truly shameful… Ah…. If you were going to possess someone, why not the original heroine… please….
Regardless of the chauffeur’s cries from behind, Do Yuna’s legs swiftly carried her somewhere.
And the moment she caught sight of a boy’s back.
“Yeonwoo!”
Do Yuna greeted him brightly.
In that moment, the boy who turned around—
“Ah. It’s Yuna.”
-This boy’s name is Sung Yeonwoo. In the original novel….
He greeted Yuna with the warmest, most tender smile in the world.
-He was an extra.
-A character who appeared only once, fleetingly.
“Yeah! Today’s the day we pick cherry tomatoes, so I came!”
Delicate and fine-featured, with a soft impression.
Beneath his elongated eyes was a small beauty mark.
The bank employee watching the drama was startled the moment she saw the boy.
‘Wow.’
Even passing by on the KTX, that boy is the male lead.
‘How can a boy be this beautiful.’
-But I’ve decided to make this boy my own male lead.
“Yeah. I was worried you wouldn’t come today…. I’m so glad you’re here.”
“I’m glad too!”
Yuna said so and promptly grabbed Yeonwoo’s hand.
Yeonwoo’s eyes widened in surprise, but he didn’t pull his hand away.
Instead, he lowered his head shyly, his face flushed.
Whether Sung Yeonwoo was aware of her own feelings or not.
The moment Sung Yeonwoo’s gaze shifted away—Do Yuna’s innocent childlike expression vanished, replaced by a grim, resolute one.
—The reason was simple. To escape the original male lead, I had to marry this child.

Title: Worried about the adaptation for “This Life, Not Love but Money”
Seems like they didn’t touch the source material much and did well
└Heard that Director Jeong Dami wanted the original author to participate in the adaptation together, so they did
└└Ah, that explains it
Title: Wait, the first scene is Yewon, right?
Totally shocked
There’s a kid whose eyes rolled back right when the drama started
└Yeah yeah yeah it’s Yewon lol lol lol acting genius goddess..
Title: Jeong Dami’s choice to have Yewon do that scene was the right call
Honestly if that first scene hadn’t grabbed attention like crazy, I wouldn’t have watched
Yewon’s acting was insane
Hit me with dopamine all at once
└I just thought it’d be some B-grade comedy drama and turned it on, but the impact from the first scene was insane lol lol lol loved it
└Without Yewon, it wouldn’t have worked. Wow, that was a look you’d never see from a seven-year-old
Title: Yewon is insane
(video)
Wow
This is child acting…
I wondered why she auditioned for the Han Sora role instead of the female lead
One scene and it all makes sense.
└For real, they adapted Han Sora into such a cold, twisted character lol lol lol
└└Is she not like this in the original?
└└└She does have a dark turn in the original, but she seems even more twisted here
Title: All the child actors are great at acting lol lol lol lol lol
They all seem to have gone through intense training on “This Life” so they all act so naturally
So cute Jeongyoon ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
And Hyuk was totally an ice prince in “This Life” but here he’s such a soft character so there’s major cognitive dissonance lol lol lol
But it suits you well and is cute.
└The babies are cute and harmlessㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’m looking forward to the other baby scenes as well.
Title: Don’t forget Director Jeong Dami’s previous work was a spicy drama
Don’t let the good vibe fool you
Who knows when they’ll suddenly pull out a knife and start a chase scene
└Just from the first scene alone..yeah you can’t tell when it’ll turn

【From the very first scene of “This Life, Not Love but Money” I’m sitting up straight watching Yewon… Yewon did it again…]】
Ah, Jeongyun is so cute I want to scratch her belly haha. How did the female lead end up being this adorable?
[(Video)
I can see this is Korean text, but it appears to be informal fan commentary or a social media post rather than dialogue from a script or narrative. The text contains colloquial expressions, emotional exclamations, and incomplete phrases that make a natural translation challenging.
[Wow, as soon as Lee Saengdon opened, Wonder Box ranked first. It’s amazing, it’s amazing, the babies are amazing]
A rough translation would be something like: “How does the male lead extra hold back while smiling so softly in the sunlight… I can’t handle this life, let’s go with Mun Hyeok!!!!!”
└[Wow, it’s not easy from the first scene. Yewon’s acting is eye-catching.]
However, this seems to be fan commentary expressing emotional reactions rather than actual dialogue that needs formal translation. Could you provide more context about what this text is from?
Wow, Wonder Box hit #1 right after Lee Saeng-don opened it lol That’s amazing, that’s amazing, the kids are amazing
[Thread watching “This Life, Money Not Love”]
[It’s not easy from the first scene with her. Yewon’s eye acting is no joke.]
└[The kids are rolling around on the dirt floor, is this okay? I watched it because they said it was a romance drama??]
└[Ah, the romance scene appears right away]
“Who the hell is that guy?”
└[Wow, Mun Hyeok’s kid’s visuals are insane(p) But is it okay for an aunt to watch something like this..?]
[👤 : Murmuring… Why is he like that?
👤 : Leave him alone, I was only waiting for Yewon in “This Life, Money Not Love” but she only appears in one scene so I’m rewatching it for the nth time
👤 : Ah]
Episode 1 Afterthoughts of “This Life’s Money”: Yewon went crazy, Jeongyun was impressive, and Hyuk is totally a prince.
* * *
Meanwhile, at Yewon’s House.
“Wow, amazing…!”
The children were still marveling at the lingering impression of the first episode of “This Life, Money Not Love” that had just finished.
“Jeongyun, Jeongyun’s acting was amazing!”
Yewon grabbed Jeongyun’s arm beside her and bounced up and down.
Jeongyun had grown so much more compared to the first episode of “This Life, I’m an Actor”.
“R-really? Did I do well??”
“Yeah! You were so cool! You did really well!”
“Really~?”
Jeongyun beamed at the praise from Yewon, who was the best actor among the friends she knew.
“….”
And Baek Yun quietly frowned, clearly displeased with Jeongyun’s expression.
“…What about me?”
“!”
Then Hyuk, who had been quietly sitting beside her, asked hesitantly.
“Yeah! Hyuk, you did really well too! Your personality and Sung Yeonwoo’s personality are completely different, so acting must have been harder. You did great.”
“…!!!”
W-what’s wrong with my personality…?!
Sung Yeonwoo was the very embodiment of a gentle, drawn-out male lead….
I’m not like that…?
Hyuk couldn’t tell whether he should be happy or sad about the compliment he’d just heard.
“I-I appear starting next episode!!”
“…Me too….”
Harin and Baek Yun, who hadn’t appeared in the first episode yet, seemed quite disappointed and quickly appealed to Yewon.
“Yeah yeah. You both have a lot of screen time starting next episode. I’m so looking forward to it!”
At Yewon’s words, the children’s disappointment lifted slightly, and their expressions brightened once more.
“…You did amazingly well too, Yewon, even though you only had one scene. Really… it left quite an impression.”
Harin whispered to Yewon, careful in case Jeongyun might overhear.
Since Jeongyun was the lead, she seemed considerate of whether he might feel bothered if Yewon received praise.
Noticing her thoughtfulness, Yewon smiled softly.
“Thanks. I’m looking forward to seeing your scene tomorrow, Harin!”
Harin nodded slightly.
After watching Yewon’s performance, she desperately wanted to show off her own acting as well.
Just then.
“You little rascals!!! Did you finish watching the drama?! Then come eat this Uncle Weon’s special premium beef jjajangmyeon, jjajangmyeon, jjajangmyeon!”
Weon called out to the children while tying on a pink apron.
“Wow!”
The children immediately jumped up and rushed to the Dining Table.
With happy expressions, they picked up their forks and greeted Weon.
“Thank you, Uncle!”
“Hahahaha. If you leave any, Uncle’s going to cry, so eat it all!!”
“Yes!”
And then….
“While the children are distracted by food, shall we adults have a conversation of our own?”
At Seonwoo Yeong’s words, the adults remaining in the living room exchanged glances and nodded.
Four members of GLEET, Director Yeon, lawyer Seonwoo Yeong, Ha Manager, and the Gardener.
They all turned their gaze simultaneously toward one man.
“This is your first parent-teacher meeting, isn’t it, Yusong?”
