Prologue

“I meet an incredible number of people. Vampires always find fresh blood but I still have a lot of things to learn and the world is filled with things to learn.”

— Robin Williams

“Life laughs at you when you’re unhappy. Life smiles at you when you’re happy. But life salutes you when you make others happy.”

-Charlie Chaplin

“An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.” ― James Dean

“You’re now a world class actor. How do you feel?” One of the reporters next to him asked him this.

Kang Woo Hyuk gave the reporter a warm smile.

“I feel very thankful.”

It was a very cliché answer.

But this was how Woo Hyuk truly felt.

Thankfulness.

He was thankful for everything.

The sky, the earth, the wind, the clouds, the trees, the birds…

And the people.

“I was able to reach this point because of all of my supporters. I thank each and every one of you.”

Woo Hyuk said this with a warm smile from the bottom of his heart.

It would have been impossible to achieve this without their help.

Because of their efforts, he was able to open his eyes to acting.

“There were many people who have helped you throughout your career, but who in particular would you like to give special thanks to?”

Numerous people came to mind.

He wanted him to choose only one?

He slowly closed his eyes.

‘Are you here?’

He felt the presence of a beautiful soul.

It was as if he was breathing in crisp, clear, forest air.

He put on a pleasant smile.

I firmly believe that life is wonderfully and truly beautiful.

I have been able to realize this truth through acting.

‘It’s all thanks to you! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to even act properly. I would have lived the life of a mediocre actor.’

Ten years ago I was just an ordinary actor. But now I’m a star. A global top star.

All thanks to the gift from the beautiful soul.
