Chapter 284

-Fucking psychopath ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Seok-hwan, stop it… We’re suffering too much…

-Ji Haebeom’s acting is seriously insane, he looks so pitiful;; I just want to hug him tight

Isn’t this just personal interest?

After the child actors ended and it transitioned to adults, 【The Great Garland】 had firmly established itself as the undisputed number one among currently airing dramas.

[“Please stop…” Viewers’ passionate yet resentful affection, the reunion of 【The Great Garland】’s Giyeon couple]

[‘Scene stealer’ Ji Haebeom’s heartbreaking call “Huijae”… Momentary viewership rating of 26.1%, will he show authentic romance with Eun Baekhap?]

[【The Great Garland】 Ji Haebeom ‘shocked’ by Shin Seojin♥Eun Baekhap marriage news/StarCutCut]

The buzz, topicality, and attention were incomparable to other works.

However, there was one lacking point, and that was the ‘big hit.’

[Tae-seok and Hee-jae shedding tears over their breakup… ㅠ_ㅠ The final moments of the Ki-yeon couple 【The Great Garland】 Ep.4]

-The child actor part really never gets old no matter how many times I watch it.. Thank you for showing us such a heartbreaking story.. The child actors did so well that there was no awkwardness when transitioning to adults, it was so natural~

-Giyeon is the real deal, argue with Hanamura if you disagree

Why is this attention seeker acting up so much ㅠ I hope they leave comments like this on wedding videos too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Their visuals are legendary, these are faces that will go down in K-drama history forever ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-At this point, shouldn’t they just date in real life?? Please help cure our mental illness

Seokhwan, this is all because of you…ㅜㅜ

Now when preview trailers were uploaded, they basically hit between 50,000 to 80,000 views, and clip videos uploaded after airing also stably maintained at least 100,000 views.

But having the drama’s content become a hot topic and having the actors become hot topics were different things.

[The man who looks better in darkness, Ji Haebeom captivates women’s hearts with all-black fashion… “Where is that watch from?”]

[This is what “suit fit” means – Ji Haebeom’s untouchable 【The Great Garland】 styling collection]

Ji Haebeom wasn’t called a scene stealer for nothing.

Not only did the narrative flow revolve around Gi Taeseok, but his unique atmosphere caused attention to be concentrated in one direction.

“….”

This was an already known sequence of events. Appearing in the same work as that Ji Haebeom, there was no way she couldn’t have expected this much.

But the calculations had gone significantly awry.

INTUBE

[Huijae’s gift after perfectly mastering Joseon language? 【The Great Garland】 Ep.7]

-Where is that top from?ㅠ So pretty

-Huijae… You’ve really improved your Joseon language skills

-Since it was a difficult time to travel abroad, it’s nice to see how well Taejin’s family is doing subtly showing through ㅎ And in the meantime, the garden is all sparkling clean~~ Heejae, it’s really hard to find a good husband like Taejin, so hold on tight

-Eunbaekham really has insane chemistry with whoever she’s with ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ She’s so feminine

-Please don’t let Taejin and Huijae divorce, they match so well together, you’re not going to follow the original, right?? Right?? Promise me

The one receiving attention after Ji Haebeom should have been Eun Baekhap. Not Han Yeoreum.

Eun Baekhap’s Yeonhuijae had an atmosphere as if she wasn’t the ‘real’ Yeonhuijae. It was an influence as if she had been bereaved.

The young girl Huijae cast a giant shadow that would last forever.

There was absolutely no way to escape it.

“….”

Her popularity remained, but there was a problem with her contribution.

The buzz and viewership ratings were also driven up by the child actors. While the viewership ratings from episodes 1 to 4 skyrocketed like crazy, the ratings from episodes 5 to 8 only rose slightly.

All predictions that episodes 1 to 4 would be in the early 10% range and episodes 5 to 8 would exceed 20% were completely off.

“….”

The story was perfect. The direction was also perfect. So there had to be gaps.

Gaps that Eun Baekhap could break into.

But Han Yeoreum, not Gi Juye, had perfectly blocked those gaps, and 【The Great Garland】, now perfect even in its actors, was jokingly being called a short drama.

-If you watch just up to right before episode 3 ends, it’s really a fucking legendary perfect drama

Seriously…ㅠ I’m stuck in an infinite loop here too

Let’s just do piggyback rides and end it beautifully ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-The Great Garland is 24 episodes? No, this is a 3-episode series… Anyway

The child actors should have unfolded the early narrative, then made people anticipate the future so they couldn’t even long for the past.

But it went wrong. This was completely wrong.

“….”

Eun Baekhap, who had been monitoring the reactions, looked around. Inside the spacious room assigned to the lead actress. Eun Baekhap picked up the tissue box placed beside her. Her fingertips trembled.

She slowly pulled out a pure white tissue and began tearing it into pieces.

One sheet, then another… Her gentle touch made no noise at all. The space itself was quiet.

White tissues scattered around Eun Baekhap.

In the silence, the sound of Eun Baekhap grinding her teeth clearly pierced through the air.

Eun Baekhap was a top actress. If you were to name the epitome of pure innocence, her name would undoubtedly be called first.

But she had one weakness: she lacked a ‘representative work’ that could sweep the public.

Eun Baekhap, who had works with decent viewership ratings and moderately successful box office results in her filmography, was certainly a skilled actress.

But the Eun Baekhap syndrome, built up with memorable lines and scenes, had not yet occurred.

Some said she lacked luck with projects, others said she had a stable eye for choosing works.

And someone called Eun Baekhap not an actress but an entertainer.

“….”

This 【The Great Garland】 was the one joker that could eliminate Eun Baekhap’s long-standing complex in one go.

To climb higher, or at least to stay in this position for a long time.

A representative work was absolutely necessary.

Currently, MBS’s Best Couple voting had Ji Haebeom and Eun Baekhap in 1st place, Myeong Jeha and Han Yeoreum in 2nd place, and Shin Seojin and Eun Baekhap in 3rd place.

At this rate, she would probably win by a reasonable margin.

“….”

But what Eun Baekhap wanted wasn’t a reasonable victory. She wanted an overwhelming victory.

She wanted both 1st and 2nd place to be Eun Baekhap.

She had no intention of quietly stepping down from the top position.

“….”

Eun Baekhap recalled the date of the MBS Acting Awards.

The voting would end right before Yeonhuijae’s ‘that episode’ aired.

There was no such thing as a first love that could never be erased. Eun Baekhap would make them fall in love anew.

So she could win. Eun Baekhap had no intention whatsoever of yielding the highest position.

The hanbok promotional ambassador position, the D company ambassadorship, the nation’s first love title.

And furthermore, swallowing up all the female lead roles circulating in Chungmuro in one go.

Everything would become Eun Baekhap’s.

Behind Eun Baekhap, who approached the window and looked down at the Jinhae filming set, tissue fragments fluttered like pure white feathers.

* * *

“What’s that?”

“They must be filming something.”

Now that the campus setting was complete, today was the first filming day for 【Youth Disqualified!】. I was waiting while wearing the Han Yeoreum long padding, which was without exaggeration the most popular fashion item in South Korea this winter.

“As expected of the Han Yeoreum long padding. Not only the design but the durability is great too, unnie. I’m not cold at all. It’s so warm as if a heater was turned on…”

“Yeoreum. There really is a heater turned on behind you.”

I pretended not to hear.

Anyway, sitting in the waiting chair holding the scenario from my personal script case while wearing the long padding I advertised. Han Yeoreum has really grown a lot.

Soon I’ll take off the padding and start filming in spring clothes, but I don’t think I’ll be cold at all.

‘Because my heart is burning up…’

Looking at me like that, Dami and Gaeul came running from far away.

“Hey! Han Yeoreum! The coffee truck is here!”

“Yeoreum! We need to take a proof shot!”

Leading the coffee truck that had just arrived. The light green coffee truck had a large banner hanging on it.

[Youth Pass!♥︎]

On both sides, photos with my, Gaeul’s, and Dami’s faces were covered with light green hearts drawn all over them.

[The cherry on top of the parfait belongs to the youth]

[Ju Junseo, Jjang Director, and Pi Writer are cheering on all the staff «٩(*´∀`*)۶»]

Before diving into the first shoot, the very first thing Gaeul and I did was extort a coffee truck from Senior Ju Junseo.

“Senior, senior. How have you been?”

“Hey. Did you contact me again because you need something?”

“Just… I was curious about how your filming was going, so I contacted you to check in, but if I bothered you, I’m sorry… The coffee truck you sent last time was so cute and pretty and delicious that I was thinking about when I might receive something like that again, and I felt grateful all over again…”

“Hey, you always act so pitifully like that, don’t you? I was watching to see how long you’d go without contacting me, and you didn’t contact me until the very end, and then you entered the same project as Chu Gaeul…”

For reference, Ju Junseo entered another project after SBC 【Top Class】.

It was also a romantic comedy produced by SBC, and in the broadcasting industry where production budgets had been swept away after the Korean Wave restrictions, the existence of a rising actor who could bring in all the luxury brand sponsorships and PPL was precious in itself.

Ju Junseo was playing the role of a picky but trivial team leader at a fashion magazine, rising from a favorite among point-five rating fans to mainstream popularity.

Anyway, we successfully managed to extort a coffee truck.

Since the 【Pachehi】 team was like family, Jjang Director and Writer Pi also contributed together, and when Kwon Junhyeok heard the news that we were sending a coffee truck as a team, he immediately stepped up. The 【Strange Tales】 team was scheduled to send a coffee truck for the next shoot, and as that news spread, the 【Faster Than Law】 team also made a reservation for a coffee truck.

For reference, 【The Great Garland】 side also decided to send a coffee truck. Under the names of Myeong Jeha, Writer An, and Director Ja. We had to coordinate schedules to avoid overlapping coffee trucks.

‘This is… the taste of Han Yeoreum’s connections…?’

As my filmography builds up one by one, people accumulate along with it.

As I was looking at the coffee truck, Gaeul and Dami gestured for me to come quickly.

“Hey! Han Yeoreum! Stand in the middle!”

“Yeoreum, over here-.”

Led by the two people grabbing and pulling my arms, I stood in the middle by the coffee truck. I looked at the camera lens and smiled brightly.

“Yeoreum… The setup is done now. Shall we start filming?”

At the sound of someone calling me, I turned my head.

A filming set for me. Cameras and lighting, and many people.

Before entering the shoot, I unzipped my long padding jacket. The cold November wind pierced through like crazy.

“Sorry… It’s not too cold…?”

The main setting of 【Youth Disqualified!】 was from spring to early summer, so the clothing had to be light to match.

Looking at the day when I had to film wearing just a t-shirt and checkered shirt, Director So patted my shoulder.

“It’s fine, Director. I really wanted to try filming in winter. Because wearing long padding during filming behind-the-scenes looks so professional… I really, really wanted to do it.”

Ugh, but why is my voice shaking like this? I’m freezing to death.

I did a few jumps in place and then handed my padding to Coordinator Hwang.

Coordinator Hwang stuck hot packs all over the inside of the padding she received. Her touch showed the determination to put it on me immediately after finishing one cut.

“【Youth Disqualified!】 first shoot begins!”

The staff member’s voice, conscious of the behind-the-scenes camera, echoed loudly, and all eyes focused on me. I lightly closed and opened my eyes.

Now I become Na Yuna.
