Chapter 291

<The Great Garland> faced a new phase. As it entered the middle part, Taejin pushed his way into the story of the Giyeon couple, who had been the one and only.

Please please please he must not be the sub-male lead this man alone must be the male lead

It wasn’t just Huijae’s popularity that grew remarkably. Taejin, who maintained his upright character portrayal, was also enough to steal viewers’ hearts.

[Analysis of why Huijae didn’t discuss business with Taejin and went straight to Taeseok]

Taejin always wanted to do something for Huijae. He brought her everything she might like – piano, books, everything

His wife doesn’t like playing piano alone and Taejin sits next to her, so it seems like Taejin probably taught her how to drive himself. For a woman to be able to drive in that era was really amazing ㅇㅇ

That’s why she went to Taeseok instead of Taejin

If Huijae wanted it, he would have bought smuggled goods that are now banned for costume sampling and quickly contracted a sewing factory he didn’t need. What Huijae wants isn’t a protected self but a self that can protect Koreans

So she chose Taeseok who already had all the conditions prepared

Anonymous(17.171) True, sharp analysis posts deserve upvotes

Yeah (3.15) This makes sense, there’s no way Heejae went to driving school alone, especially in the US lol

ㅇㅇ(28.811) Damn, Taejin is fucking amazing, what a total boss ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ This kind of patriarch is a real patriarch

The viewership ratings finally broke through the miraculous 30% and continued to rise. They even made viewers nervous every episode.

-Phew… Thank goodness… Taejin didn’t cheat today either..

-Seok-hwan please don’t mess with us. Just having a woman near Taejin makes us nervous frame by frame like crazy

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I really love Taejin so much but I hope his character doesn’t get ruined at the end…? I’ve seen way too many stories where they turn the second male lead into trash just to desperately push the main couple together, my heart is racing please please

Damn, I’m getting PTSD flashbacks

ㄴThe 8,126,636 character-obsessed guys flashing through my mind.. ahhhhㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

Watch your mouth! Our Taejin is the real male lead. The second male lead is over there. Stop acting up when you’re not even the husband!

<The Great Garland>’s popularity poll wasn’t only on KBC’s homepage.

Now it was time for invisible popularity polls to begin offline too.

IP 85.152 headed to H Department Store Apgujeong Main Branch. Walking while wearing a Han Yeoreum long padding, she often noticed people wearing the same clothes.

‘Well… Christmas is coming soon too…’

Christmas.

It’s the most global festival enjoyed even by non-Christians, where everyone casually exchanges “Merry Christmas” greetings and sends light gifts and cards to those they were grateful for throughout the year, creating a beautiful moment to end the year.

‘So I need to go buy cards.’

For a culturally sensitive trendsetter, thinking about the other person’s preferences instead of one’s own preferred design is basic. So choosing the popularly acclaimed <The Great Garland> postcards would truly be prioritizing others…

“What?”

IP 85.152 momentarily doubted her eyes.

“What is that?”

Even before the department store opened, at least ten teams of people were lined up. Several of them were wearing Han Yeoreum long paddings.

‘Familiar faces…?’

A woman with an excited face was on her phone right in front. IP 85.152, who positioned herself behind her, didn’t intend to look but inadvertently saw the text on the screen.

mailEyeoleum Daily Yeoreum

Input: Can this auntie go bankrupt today? Can I swipe my card until our baby melon bread random photo comes out?

IP 85.152 looked away. She was different from those actor fans. Only product quality alone…

Clatter-.

The sound of the closed department store shutter going up was heard. IP 85.152 immediately walked forward with quick steps. It wasn’t to receive <The Great Garland> popup store’s first-come-first-served giveaway.

[Great Garland]

The popup store was decorated with a vintage atmosphere. The popup name was prominently displayed in a font that would have been used on newspaper front pages of that era, and posters in the style hung in old theaters were visible everywhere.

After briefly looking around the popup store, IP 85.152 was newly impressed by JC ENM.

‘There are two versions?’

Almost all products came in two versions: black and white, and color.

‘These guys… They took advantage of most goods being paper products… Since they can’t price them high, they’re making people buy by category…’

But IP 85.152 was a rational consumer, so she absolutely had no intention of being played by the commercial tactics of companies like JC ENM and KBC.

Since she needed to accompany Christmas gifts with simple cards, postcard sets; since one corner of her room was empty, posters that seemed good for interior decoration; since having a transcription hobby in the new year had been on her bucket list for a long time, absolutely necessary famous quote paperweights; a classic design file case perfect for storing documents; and crookedly written ‘Don’t lose me’ rice cake memo pads and the pear blossom grip tok and flesh-colored rose grip tok she just happened to need, keyrings with nameplate designs written in Chinese characters for Gi Taeseok, Yeonhuijae, and Lee Taejin… Anyway, they were all useful items she’d end up using if she bought them.

“How much is it?”

“It’s 139,800 won in total.”

“That what, I don’t know well but photo? card? What was it… Anyway, you have that, right?”

“Yes! We’ll give you a four-cut photo.”

IP 85.152 wasn’t the type to refuse something given for free. So she received the giveaway the staff offered.

“I can’t see inside?”

“Ah. It’s a random giveaway and we have limited quantities, so it’s hard to exchange. Please understand.”

“That’s understandable. It’s fine.”

IP 85.152 took the shopping bag, turned around, and quickly tore open the envelope. Inside was.

“Ah! Eun Baekhap!”

“Yes?”

Number 3. A four-cut photo of adult Taeseok and adult Huijae. IP 85.152 briefly looked around.

“Please form two lines-.”

Before she knew it, a line had formed at the <The Great Garland> popup. IP 85.152 instinctively realized.

‘…At this rate, the giveaway quantity will be insufficient?’

The four-cut photos might be sold out during the popup period.

IP 85.152 realized that developing the habit of expressing gratitude and well-wishes in daily life was a very important attitude for a cultured person, so she picked up several more goods including postcard sets.

Anyway, they were all useful items she’d end up using if she bought them. Really.

“…How much is it?”

“It’s 98,000 won. If you purchase just 2,000 won more, today’s giveaway-.”

“Please include this too.”

On her way out of the popup store after getting the Han Yeoreum Myeong Jeha four-cut photo, IP 85.152 saw the line packed densely in front of the store.

“Ah…”

This is… the taste of a rising actor…?

[<The Great Garland> truly ‘great’ scale… Daily visitor count “Amazing~”]

[<The Great Garland> showing crazy popularity, breaks through Christmas fever to achieve 1st place in popup sales]

[From Joseon controversy to national drama… “Give us Great Garland goods” ⎜The Great Garland]

I was amazed looking at the pouring articles. I never thought I’d feel the drama’s popularity this tangibly.

Thanks to JC’s intervention, many articles’ first photos were filled with still cuts of me and Myeong Jeha.

‘Not those Eun Baekhap and Ji Haebeom!’

Let me correct that. I’m not just experiencing the taste of a rising actor, but a rising popular actor.

<The Great Garland> fans lined up at the department store were photographed and uploaded.

“Just the waiting time is an hour…?”

Among them, the most mentioned were still the four-cut photos of Yeonhuijae and Gi Taeseok. The child actors’ impact was that significant.

Anonymous 88: I collected all the four-cut photos v( ・ ◡ ・ )v (four-cut photo proof.jpg)

Anonymous 101: Holy shit, are you a chaebol?

I read all the reviews that came up without missing any. From the ones posted on my fan cafe Summer Days to the posts on Twitter.

[Among Us⎜I also went to the Garland popup~ A few proof shots hehe]

I really wanted the merch so badly while watching the live broadcast ㅠㅠ I was so relieved I could get in before it sold out. My heart was racing when I saw the queue ahead of me..

I put up the poster in my room and got addicted to looking at our actor’s face (*^ω^*)

‘Our actor…’

It’s a nickname I should be used to by now, but it still feels awkward somehow. There’s distance, you know, distance.

‘Please call me your actor.’

My actor♥ with a heart would be good too. Because I’m forever Summer Days’…

“Hey. Han Yeoreum.”

A chilling voice came from somewhere.

“If you came early, you should be holding a guitar, not holding your phone?”

This place was the 【Youth Disqualified!】 band practice room. Before I knew it, Chu Gaeul was approaching me step by step, holding drumsticks like a club.

“Hey! Han Yeoreum! Come here!”

“Put that down and talk! Wait! Gaeul!”

Looking to exchange Taeseok Huijae four-cut photos

I have Haebeom Baekhap

♥︎ Jeha Yeoreum

#TheGreatGarland #Garland #GiyeonCouple

Eun Baekhap doubted her own eyes.

“….”

The word “exchange” was plastered all over next to Eun Baekhap’s name.

“Does this… even make sense…?”

No matter how hard she tried to find reason, it wasn’t easy.

“Me… with that girl…?”

It even seemed like it would be easy to exchange Han Yeoreum for Eun Baekhap, but difficult to exchange Eun Baekhap for Han Yeoreum.

Meow @maaaaang

Looking to buy Jeha Summer four-cut photos. Feel free to suggest a price! ㅜㅜ

She couldn’t believe it. Even if her career built up over the years crumbled to pieces, she wouldn’t have received this level of shock.

“I… that kind of…”

She couldn’t even finish her words. Even trying not to show her emotions, she couldn’t stop her heart from pounding.

Just a child actor role with 4 episodes worth of screen time.

Even though her last appearance had 10 minutes cut from the end, making it incomplete screen time, thinking that she was having an equal, or perhaps even greater influence than Eun Baekhap was unbearable.

Her fingertips began to tremble.

“Fuck, I really feel like shit…”

It was Eun Baekhap who traveled between Jinhae and Jeju Island, changing dozens of outfits and running around filming, but Han Yeoreum who filmed comfortably on set and left was generating this level of buzz, which set her on fire inside.

“I… with just that…”

She was so incredulous that her voice trembled with anger at the end. Eun Baekhap, who closed her eyes briefly, recalled something.

Emotions were emotions and work was work. It was time to start filming now.

Eun Baekhap, who had been mentally reviewing her script filled with all kinds of notes from analysis, opened her eyes.

“I can’t keep getting eaten up.”

If Han Yeoreum was eating up Eun Baekhap’s popularity, then Eun Baekhap could just eat up something Han Yeoreum had.

* * *

Director Ja, holding the megaphone, looked at Eun Baekhap’s face. She was truly an actor who made her name known from debut.

Just standing in front of the camera with her mouth closed, checking her movements, she made it impossible to look away.

The aura that one person completely possessed.

That alone captured everyone’s attention.

Today was the day to film a scene that required CG, even though it was midwinter. He could guarantee it would be one of the most memorable scenes in 【The Great Garland】.

“Alright! Ready-.”

Eun Baekhap must be at the peak of exhaustion right now. As soon as episode 2 aired, thanks to the flood of investors, filming locations kept increasing.

The changing locations for each scene increased viewers’ immersion, but the more that happened, the more the actors’ fatigue inevitably increased.

‘Moreover, Eun Baekhap took on a character where the child actor’s impact was too strong, so her sensitivity must have increased along with it.’

The staff also started being cautious, worried that something might go wrong with the lead actor’s condition.

“Action!”

As soon as Director Ja’s instruction fell, Eun Baekhap and Ji Haebeom became Yeonhuijae and Gi Taeseok.

‘Look at this.’

Director Ja, who had been watching Eun Baekhap through the monitor, turned his gaze. Not to a nearby monitor, but to look at Eun Baekhap directly with his own eyes.

‘Interesting.’

Unforgettable memories sometimes take people back to that time.

As if they’re still living in that moment.

“…Okay.”

Eun Baekhap found a breakthrough with her innate sensitivity.

If Han Yeoreum had imitated Eun Baekhap’s voice projection, Eun Baekhap was imitating young Yeonhuijae’s expressions.

Really like the same person.

So that viewers could feel as if the Yeonhuijae they loved was not in the past, but right here before our eyes now.

Eun Baekhap was trying to make even the past Huijae her own.
