Chapter 273

* * *

Manager Ma, who had been monitoring, closed her eyes for a moment. Then she took a deep breath.

“Phew…”

She counted to three in her mind. Three, two, one.

Click-.

When she refreshed, Han Yeoreum’s face filled the entire screen.

It was an explosion.

[Han Yeoreum, heartbreaking first love farewell with Myeong Jeha… The unforgettable 【The Great Garland】]

[【The Great Garland】 embroiled in ‘Josenjing controversy’… Han Yeoreum’s decisive blow that turned anger into love “Don’t lose me”]

[KBC shows “This is what public broadcasting value means” From Japanese colonial period to the pain of the Korean War… Proved its worth]

There were no other appropriate words that came to mind to describe it.

Even after the drama ended, the buzz showed no signs of cooling down. Just 10 minutes after episode 4 ended, all news article sections were plastered with the names of Han Yeoreum and Myeong Jeha.

-I was literally crying buckets today and then Hanwha ended.. Is this really the end for the child actors?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I’m the winner for watching from episode 1, I was really going crazy watching this in real time

For real, I feel so bad for people who are gonna watch this later ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-Ah Taeseok, Huijae.. How are we supposed to let you two go, really…

Fire Boards across all communities exploded at an unprecedented level.

[30s Chat Board/ Is Great Garland really that interesting? I was thinking of watching it but got scared seeing the Fire Board speed and backed away]

First time seeing Fire Boards getting replaced several times even before it starts

-Watch it… No don’t watch it… No definitely watch it… No don’t watch it…

Wait what, are you telling me to look or not to look ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ

For real though) This matches my feelings exactly…ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

It was popular enough that even people who hadn’t watched Great Garland knew about it. Several famous lines were already familiar to everyone.

The fingers of JC ENM’s promotion team never rested. The entire world was heated up with 【The Great Garland】.

“How’s the reaction right now?”

“We’ve dominated all of Twitter’s real-time trends!”

Drama Fans who had been anticipating 【The Great Garland】 since before it aired, people who got hooked by episode 1’s controversy and watched episode 2, viewers who somehow got drawn in and started waiting for next week’s broadcast, and fans who shed tears watching episode 4.

In just 2 weeks, the general public solidified into fans. The work’s loyalty had increased tremendously.

It wasn’t just about captivating viewers.

“At this level, there won’t be any mid-series dropouts unless something major happens, right?”

“Right. It would be strange to leave in the middle.”

Now 【The Great Garland】 only had upward trending ratings left.

Posts endlessly went up on SNS. The development seemed like they were determined to show what controversy meant every episode, but episode 4 was really different.

It was truly proper.

Acting ability and direction, plus artistic value. Drama Fans went wild for a drama that didn’t miss anything.

[Should I say it’s fortunate? They mixed Gatsby with A Shower]

This level is a heartwarming development. At least in both works, one of the two has to die. But in Great Garland, both are still alive, right? As long as they’re alive, they’re destined to meet again, right????

Anonymous (124.88) This bastard is way too positive, fuck… Keep living well like that, you son of a bitch

ㄴㅇㅇ(106.102) giving well-wishes

[As someone who loves Huijae, I’m glad Taejin is decent]

The part at the end where they properly wrote Hee-jae’s name was such a tearjerker ㅠㅠㅠ

ㅇㅇ(121.184) Damn, son-in-law material from the very first meeting

Anonymous (14.5) Then what’s the point, it’s not Taeseok anyway

[Huijae, that guy won’t do, really]

Reason: He hasn’t done military service

Yeah (37.11) that’s right…

Yeah right (172.22) this is ridiculous lmaooo

Among the posts going up like crazy, one analysis post received an overwhelming number of recommendations and established itself.

[(Long post) Analysis of how the director expressed Huijae and flowers]

Starting with the surname Hanamura which means flower

From Huijae’s first appearance at the photo studio, there was a pear blossom garden in the background

(Episode 1 kimono photo studio scene.jpg)

And when she came to Jinhae, there are vases placed throughout the house, and there’s also a vase in Huijae’s room

(Episode 1 capture of inside Huijae’s room.jpg)

And the flower pattern on the gold leaf yukata Huijae is wearing

(Episode 1 capture of Huijae eating alone in her room.jpg)

What these have in common is they’re all dead flowers. Either paintings, patterns, or cut and stuck in vases

But from when she talks with Taeseok, living flowers start appearing. They alternate with dead flowers, but anyway they’re rooted live flowers

Flowers blooming on the path where Taeseok comes to meet Huijae

(Episode 2 wall scene capture.jpg)

Flowers engraved on the water pitcher Huijae brought to the kitchen

(Episode 2 “I am Joseon person” capture.jpg)

Flowers planted in the garden while seeing Hanamura off

(Episode 2 “Please go safely”.jpg)

When she first received her Joseon name, Huijae was also wearing clothes with flower patterns

(Episode 2 “Miss, Joseon names are read like this” capture.jpg)

And if you look closely, there are flowers on the day when Taesuk first mentioned the name Heejae tooㅇㅇ

(Episode 2 Huijae’s ankle standing on tiptoes at the wall. Flower embroidery on white socks.jpg)

And from episode 3, Huijae is the first to mention flowers, and she goes to see them with Taeseok over the wall

Even though Huijae’s name contains pear blossoms, neither of them knows pear blossoms so they go looking

I think this represents Huijae’s identity and freedom

(Episode 3 scene of getting caught in rain on the mountain.jpg)

If you look in the corner of this scene, there are wildflowers blooming, but neither person looks closely at the flowers. When Huijae is with Taeseok, she’s already found her freedom and identity, so flowers aren’t important

(Episode 3 Taeseok bringing back picked wild chrysanthemums.jpg)

Still, Taeseok wants to give flowers to Heejae though..ㅠ

(Episode 3 Huijae receiving Taejin’s roses.jpg)

But there’s someone else who can actually give flowers to Huijae

Taejin is a Korean-Japanese like Huijae, and due to the nature of being Korean-Japanese, regardless of which country you live in long, you inevitably experience identity confusion. Huijae and Taejin met while both were unable to put down roots, and flowers were exchanged

Unlike Taeseok, Taejin is a man who can take Huijae out from under Hanamura’s control

He’s the only person who can give her freedom

(Episode 4 scene where marriage talk comes up.jpg)

At this time, there are no flowers drawn on Huijae’s teacup

Because Tae-seok’s life and death is more important than himself

(Episode 4 wedding.jpg)

However, the man who will give Huijae freedom has a flower pinned to his chest, and Huijae also holds a flower in her hand

The wedding venue is filled with flowers inside too ㅠㅠ and there are so many flowers blooming outside the wedding venue as well

On the contrary, where Taeseok is, you can’t find even a single blade of grass

Taejin introduces himself saying he uses the character for joy in Tae and the character for progress in Jin

By holding Taejin’s hand and walking forward, Huijae finally becomes Yeon Huijae, not Hanamura Rio

What’s important to Huijae is freedom and growth. She grew up being abused like that, yet she endlessly shows courage, is curious about the outside world, and wants to know her own name

I’m looking forward to The Great Garland because I think it will focus on Huijae’s growth narrative as well as Taeseok’s

Looking at the drama synopsis, it says Taeseok does business by joining hands with the US military, but Taejin and Huijae left for America right after getting married, right?

I’m dying to know how Taeseok, who grew up alone in rooted Korea, and Huijae, who left seeking freedom and returned, will match up

Anyway, it’s a doomed love, but looking at Huijae’s individual life, this also seems like a good direction

ㅇㅇ(175.196) Analysis posts deserve upvotes

Huijaechup (58.238) That’s right. Unfortunately, it’s Taejin who can give Huijae freedom. Hanamura, who acted like a tyrant, can’t do shit, and when he called her “my joy,” the satisfaction was insane

ㅇㅇ(223.39) Looking at it this way, there really are a lot of flowers in there. The direction is fucking crazy

ㅇㅇ(17.177) After receiving all these interpretations, I think the Koreans were the ones who gave Huijae true salvation. Even though they knew Rio itself was a pear blossom, they gave him a new Korean name with completely different meaning. From the moment the Koreans called him Huijae, he was no longer a flower raised by Hanamura.

Yeah that’s right, really true. Female protagonist growth story

“This person knows how to see things!”

Aetami sensed the rich scent of a drama fan. Currently, there was no work that captured both the public and drama fans at once like 【The Great Garland】.

Bait poured out from light humor posts to serious analysis posts and high-quality capture posts.

“Ah… This reminds me of 【Strange Tales】…”

Aetami, immersed in nostalgia, still moved her hands busily.

Click-. Click-.

In the quiet room, the sound of her typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse was loud.

(IP 85.152 analysis post capture.jpg)

Anonymous1: Finally a real masterpiece came out after so long ㅠㅠㅠㅠ After all those early cancellations, it seems like KBC finally got the hang of it

Anonymous2: From episode 3, the hate suddenly dropping off is fucking hilarious to me lololol Even in episode 2 the misunderstanding was cleared up but there were tons of comments desperately bashing Hanyeoreum

ㄴAnonymous11: ㄱㄴㄲ Saying that actors who approved such a script have questionable intelligence or whatever.. I’m hurt by all this

Anonymous27: Hannyeoreum had no choice but to play Yeonhui. August 15th Liberation Day is in summer, June 25th when the Korean War started was also summer, and the armistice agreement on July 27th was also in summer. It’s no exaggeration to say that all seasons in Webtoon were prepared for midsummer lol It was Hannyeoreum’s from the beginning

ㄴAnonymous 31: Wow that’s fucking creepy

ㄴAnonymous 48: This analysis is good too..ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

ㄴAnonymous 87: Fucking hell

ㄴAnonymous 102: LMAOOOOO you crazy bastard, suddenly getting all sentimental hahaha

“Good. Tomorrow Mageodong will trend, and right when it goes up…”

The love for Yeon Huijae would deepen. Aetami’s face, who had forgotten about dawn sleep, shone with anticipation.

* * *

Morning broke. KBC Broadcasting Station was constantly receiving calls from somewhere.

“Yes, oh my, thank you. But in the case of the story, our writer…”

“Ahaha. Yes, that’s right. We can’t make them separate like that…”

But the atmosphere was completely different from before.

The shoulders of the staff, who had been wearing troubled smiles, gradually straightened. They put down the receiver and briefly fell into memories.

“Ah, what era are we in, really… Everyone’s getting too immersed, you know?”

“When was the last time I felt this emotion? Wow… There hasn’t been anything like this since 【Hourglass】.”

【The Great Garland】 was KBC’s 50th anniversary drama. Combined with the broadcasting station’s characteristics and the subject matter’s characteristics, the viewer age demographic naturally went up.

“What’s going on over there?”

The MBS Center Director, who had been watching the staff’s proud faces through the blinds, asked his old friend.

The KBC Center Director smiled as if it was nothing special.

The MBS Center Director read ominousness in the ajusshi’s elegant smile. Sure enough.

“The elderly are calling to complain about why Taeseok and Huijae have to break up, you know?”

“…”

“Oh my, I thought the era of villains getting beaten up in bathhouses was over, but when you make a drama this well, everyone still confuses it with reality, you know?”

The MBS Center Director’s mouth shut tight at the bragging that had no intention of being hidden.

“Looking at our episode 4 ratings, it’s understandable… Who would think 18.3% would come out in episode 4? The peak viewership exceeded 20%. But if you look at just the buzz, numbers games aren’t really that important.”

The KBC Center Director’s face, which had looked deathly when hit with consecutive early cancellations, brightened completely.

He was a completely different person from when he was being called to the broadcasting review committee.

Looking closely, he had even pinned something to his tie. It was a pear blossom pin. The viewers weren’t the only ones getting overly immersed.

“It’s not entirely good that contacts are pouring in from everywhere like this. Sponsor logos are going to be plastered all over. At this rate, I wonder if ending scenes will circulate as meme material. We don’t even need viral marketing now.”

The MBS Center Director’s hand holding the coffee trembled. He couldn’t control his jealousy.

“…I’m leaving.”

“Where are you going? You just got here!”

“I’m busy too, you bastard! Our 【Youth Disqualified!】 also needs to be actively projected now, anyway! You don’t know that kind of young mood!”

“What is that young mood! Tell me before you go!”

“Old man, get lost!”

“You’re getting old too!”

The MBS Center Director put down the coffee he had taken a sip of and stormed out of KBC. After glaring at the faces of staff members who were brightly smiling while taking complaint calls, he immediately took out his phone.

“…Hey, this is really.”

And he clicked his tongue. What the KBC Center Director had just said was by no means an exaggeration.

If you really looked at just the buzz, it was enough to go down in history. That wasn’t all.
