Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 288

Since it's the release of Episodes 1 and 2, Episode 2 followed immediately.

ㄴAre they seriously going one-on-one?

ㄴKade-nim, let’s go one match

ㄴBro, he’s saying he’s Donghu and he placed first in long-distance

ㄴYou playboy

ㄴBut it’s true, his movements aren’t normal!

ㄴThe synergy, tho 😂

ㄴWhat meme is this?

ㄴIf you don’t get it, leave

The viewers were hyped to see what kind of match Kim Donghu and Kade Walker would bring.

Before the preview clip came on, they showed the contestants of Physical 300 entering in order of their rankings.

ㄴDamn, this is like a strict class hierarchy 😂

ㄴHaving to walk in starting from 300th place is kinda humiliating

ㄴRanking everyone by performance is legendary

—“Yeah, it was humiliating. There wasn’t even a spotlight at position 300.”

—“Oh, like, I don’t deserve the light? That’s what it meant? Damn, that’s cold.”

—“If I’d known I’d be treated like that, maybe I should’ve run until my back broke... kinda regret it now.”

—“And then the high ranks even get to go up a pyramid or something—like what the hell!”

—“Honestly, the long-distance was just a pre-test, so I didn’t think much of it. Except the fact that I ranked 300th.”

Short clips of low-ranked contestants’ interviews played, and the set quickly filled with participants.

With 300 people, they edited things down and fast-forwarded the timeline.

Just seconds later, the TOP 10 contestants entered.

ㄴTop of the pyramid, lololol

ㄴSo Donghu stands at the very top?

ㄴThat’s seriously badass

ㄴWait, is there something set up at the top? The light’s still off

ㄴBet they’re trying to stage some dramatic moment again 😂

The top-ranked participants entered one by one, and then, the moment Kim Donghu walked in—

Tack!

The lights came on.

At the peak of the pyramid.

A single chair was illuminated on-screen.

ㄴNetflix, your emperor has returned

ㄴDA DONG HU

ㄴLMAO Kim Donghu just ignores everyone and walks straight to the chair

ㄴThat strut is insane 😂

ㄴHe sits and doesn’t even glance down 😳

ㄴHe literally refuses to acknowledge the ones beneath him

Kim Donghu sat in that chair, and right away, the interview of his state of mind played.

—“But like... somehow, it didn’t piss me off that it was Donghu sitting there.”

—“BEEP—! Hell! Train! The one who owns it should be the one to sit there. It had to be him. Anyone else, and I’d be furious.”

—“I was shocked when they announced the result. Thought he was running at 3:30 pace... or was it 3:45? Either way, that’s insane.”

—“Gotta give credit where it’s due, so... yeah.”

With the atmosphere of reluctant acknowledgment from the other contestants, they introduced the first game.

The event: Ball Stealing.

Three stages total.

In order of pre-test rankings, the higher-ranked picks their opponent.

A simple yet savage law-of-the-jungle setup.

—“Then starting now, the overall #1, contestant Kim Donghu, please choose your opponent.”

And with that, the process continued.

Viewers expected the moment from the preview to drop.

And then—

—“Mr. Kade, how about we go ahead and do the finals right here?”

Kim Donghu boldly /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ stood before Kade Walker.

ㄴYo, straight up finals declaration 😂

ㄴSo he’s saying the other 298 don’t matter?

ㄴThat’s cold af, real recognizes real huh?

ㄴLook at Kade’s expression like “WTF” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ㄴBut still, he’s not jumping to answer

ㄴKade scared? Scared? 😏

ㄴKim Donghu’s a crazy bastard—he’s going for the win and the screen time... the PD must be in love 😂

A momentary face-off.

Then, Donghu smiled and added playfully—

—“Just kidding. Mr. Kade is too scary—I don’t want to fight you yet.”

And just like that, he casually passed him by.

No matter the tension at the time, viewers took it differently.

ㄴLOL it’s like saving the best bite for last

ㄴI was thinking the same thing 😂

ㄴSo Donghu’s the type to save the strawberry on top of the cake for last?

ㄴKade, the strongest linebacker in NFL history, just got turned into a strawberry 😂

ㄴ💯

ㄴSo who is Donghu going to pick then?

ㄴGood question. I wanna know too 💬

ㄴIf he picks a girl it’d be hilarious

ㄴDude’s insane 😂😂😂😂

If not Kade, who would Kim Donghu choose?

As the curiosity peaked, Donghu suddenly headed straight down the pyramid.

ㄴI thought he’d pick a high rank but he’s going down?

ㄴHigh rank doesn’t necessarily mean good at ball stealing

ㄴFacts 💯 lots of muscleheads dropped early in the long run

ㄴBut still, he’s not just targeting size, right?

ㄴRight; he knows better than anyone how big a factor weight class is

Donghu kept going down.

And each time he passed a big-built contestant, the viewers pounced.

Especially international viewers were vocal.

ㄴNo matter how strong he is, size difference is unbeatable

—“I mean... honestly, I’d avoid Angus too. But he just marched up like it was nothing. Damn.” 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Cut to: Physical 300 PD, Ji Yonghu, literally jumping with excitement on camera.

Meanwhile, the remaining 298 contestants found their own matchups.

THUMP!

With that sound—

—“Let the first game, Ball Stealing, begin!”

No delays. The game began instantly.

ㄴBut they’re not showing Donghu’s match right away?

ㄴI know how Netflix works—it’s usually in Episode 3

ㄴTrue, they can’t show it all yet 😂

ㄴSo PD Ji Yonghu is the type to save the strawberry for last too

ㄴCan y’all shut up with the strawberry thing 😂

Just as viewers predicted, even though the game started, the scene everyone wanted didn’t appear yet.

There were some exciting matchups, but they couldn’t beat the anticipation for Kim Donghu vs Angus.

Still, there were a few moments that kept viewers glued.

—“Hrrgh!”

Kade showed explosive power worthy of an NFL player.

—“I could run all day.”

Syndre displayed inhuman stamina. Other than that, the dopamine rush was kinda mid.

As the episode neared its end—finally, what everyone had been waiting for.

—“The match between Kim Donghu and Angus is about to begin.”

That voice full of dopamine rang out.

And right at that moment—

THUMP!

The ending credits rolled.

ㄴAre you f*cking kidding me?

ㄴLOOOOOOOOL WTF 😂😂😂

Then a teasing preview dropped.

It showed—

—“Wh-what the hell!”

—“He just lifted him with one arm!”

Angus choking Kim Donghu with one arm.

A few seconds of footage.

And the shocked voices of the contestants.

That’s where Episode 2 really ended.

ㄴHow the hell are we supposed to wait a whole week now!!!!!!

ㄴI’m gonna lose my mind

ㄴWasn’t this episode way too short?

ㄴBe human and release all of it at once already!!!!

As the bitterness about next week lingered—at the same time,

Kade Walker, watching Netflix, thought seriously:

‘For an event match... should I recommend Donghu Kim as a running back?’

It might honestly make for a wild event.

That thought seriously crossed his mind.
