Chapter 293

The OST was the music that played over the scene with the highest view count among the episode 4 clips. It was the music that played as young Taeseok cried alone, calling out Huijae’s name.

-The title is insane, I have no choice but to click on it like crazy ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

The OST’s title alone brought down The Great Garland viewers. When the lyrics were added, viewers without exception fell into deep immersion.

-Wow, I wondered why they weren’t releasing this song, turns out they were waiting to drop it;; Fucking chills

The official music video thumbnail was young Huijae. People who saw Huijae’s face, soaked clear from the rain and smiling brightly, couldn’t help but reflexively click on the video.

As soon as the music video was released, the view count skyrocketed like crazy.

-Jaseok-hwan, please stop, I’m begging youㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-As expected, Seok-hwan has a talent for driving people crazy, he’s a genius

-There’s not a single word of English in it..^^ Such a good song that fits the era the work depicts… I think I’ll be listening to this for a very long time…

-1:29 This part feels like a letter Taeseok is sending to Huijae, it breaks my heart

Part 1 consisted of young Taeseok, Huijae, and Taejin, while Part 2 consisted of adult Taeseok, Huijae, and Taejin. The Great Garland viewers felt a new thrill watching this music video.

Like forgotten memories of first love suddenly coming back.

-Wait, are they using behind-the-scenes cuts here???

Behind-the-scenes cuts that didn’t appear in the broadcast. They inserted scenes that had been cut from the main broadcast here and there. There weren’t many cuts.

Nevertheless, they made viewers cover their mouths.

Huijae waiting inside the wall before throwing pebbles at Taeseok, her frowning face when studying Joseon language alone wasn’t going well, her beaming smile while earnestly choosing clothes, her brave wiping of raindrops from her forehead.

Just the song lyrics together with young Huijae made it feel like going back several weeks.

How Huijae was. How we came to love Huijae. All of it was vividly remembered.

Above all, what tore The Great Garland viewers’ hearts to shreds was the last section of the first verse.

-Ah, fucking crazy psychopath… I just became a woman with a story on the subway home from work

Instead of the long shot of Huijae’s back as she cried covering her mouth with both hands from the main broadcast, the music video held a long shot of her face brimming with tears.

Seeing Huijae struggling to hold back her sobs, something stirred in the viewers’ hearts.

Facing Huijae’s past that they had momentarily forgotten, instead of just finding the current Huijae endearing, their feelings for the tender young Huijae only grew.

Why do people place such great meaning on firsts.

It seemed like Han Yeoreum’s acting ability was answering that question for them.

It was an emotion that could only be understood with the heart.

It was irresistible.

When the season you spent with that person arrives, when you look at objects that remind you of that person, when you alone cannot forget the promises you made with that person, you inevitably feel a love that you cannot avoid, as if returning to the beginning.

Depending on interpretation, the OST seemed like Taeseok’s feelings, or Taejin’s feelings. Then again, the song that also seemed like Huijae’s feelings was rapidly climbing the carol charts.

[87. Huijae ▲177]

It was a frightening speed.

“We won. Right?”

“Right. We won.”

JC ENM’s Manager Hong and Manager Ma clinked their cups of americano. They were plastic cups so there was no crisp sound, but they didn’t really care.

“Hehehe… The coffee tastes amazing.”

“Right. All the fatigue just disappears like this.”

Their mood was literally soaring.

Nothing else mattered. The overtime work, saving sleep for days, had been worth it.

“At this point, the result is decided!”

“Of course!”

There might be pressure from the actors’ side about who wins the Best Couple Award. But if they put their weight behind the voting, JC ENM wasn’t going to sit still.

[“Please change Eun Baekhap to Han Yeoreum” Netizens stirred over 【The Great Garland】 photo cards]

[‘Han Yeoreum instead of Eun Baekhap’ complaints… Premium prices for popup store limited goods? ⎜The Great Garland]

The fact that such articles weren’t currently occupying the top ranks of internet news was entirely JC ENM’s consideration. Let’s give and take appropriately before stepping on Eun Baekhap.

“Manager Hong. How are the movements from Born Actors?”

“They’re focusing on The Great Garland Huijae’s influence, what else. If they have any sense, they’ll know the hand we’re holding right now.”

Currently, the most popular comments on InTube were all dominated by the child actors. People deeply immersed in young Huijae and Taeseok’s story were overwhelming.

No matter how many core fans there were, if Eun Baekhap coveted the Best Couple Award in this atmosphere, JC ENM was confident they could overturn everything.

“Huh? Manager! Look at this!”

“What? Already?”

Meanwhile, the music video featuring Han Yeoreum’s face grabbed the #1 spot on InTube’s real-time popular videos while simultaneously.

[1. Huijae ▲80]

It leaped over all the thick walls of the carol playlist that seemed insurmountable.

It was a #1 position reached in an instant.

[HOT/ The song that’s causing chaos right now.jpg]

(Music video thumbnail.jpg)

Christmas is approaching but people are saying it’s making everyone party at the mental hospital

Anonymous 1: At this point Seok-hwan should pay our hospital bills

ㄴAnonymous3: Agreed, they should also cover the hospitalization costs

Anonymous 23: The song is really good but I’m holding back tears while listening alone

Anonymous 37: Secretary Gitae, you.. what kind of love did you experience, seriously ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Anonymous 68: I only play TOP100 but today I’m on repeat with this one song

ㄴAnonymous 92: Crazy, me too lololol

“Ja Seokhwan, that bastard…”

At that time, KBC Drama Center. The Center Director, who was monitoring reactions to 【The Great Garland】 OST, held his forehead.

“If you asked people to pick just one protagonist of this drama, everyone would probably say Gi Taeseok.”

The Center Director muttered while scrolling down. Even at this moment, the music video’s view count was rising endlessly.

“But they’re wrong.”

The core was none other than Yeonhuijae.

Only Huijae had the power to drag every single viewer to the final episode without exception.

The power Huijae possessed had proven this fact since episode 1.

“What viewers are curious about is Huijae’s choice.”

Between Taeseok and Taejin, who would Huijae choose to love? How would she say goodbye to the other one?

People unconsciously had no choice but to focus all their attention on Huijae. Because it’s none other than Huijae who will conclude this story.

Above all, it made people listening to the song constantly reminisce about Huijae.

“This is really driving me crazy.”

The Center Director looked at the year-end awards ceremony categories where voting would soon end.

Posts about this OST appeared in every community, and naturally interest in who would win the Best Couple Award increased.

[Among Ourselves Chatter/ But for The Great Garland, it seems right to give the award to the child actors]

I don’t think it would have blown up this much in terms of initial buzz and attention if it weren’t for the child actor. Adult actors are good too, but in my heart, the child actor is the best ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-It’s fun enough now, but the story from episodes 1 to 4 was legendary

For real, this is gonna go down in K-drama history forever

I also think those two are the best lol… It would be disappointing if they gave it to an adult…

-Anyway, I think the adults will get Best Actress and Best Actor, so I think they’ll give Best Couple to the child actors!

They’ll probably win the rookie award too, right?

It wasn’t for nothing that they reflected jury results in addition to vote counts. Besides core fans’ numbers, there were other things the broadcasting station had to consider.

“Eun Baekhap is being pushed too hard in terms of popularity…”

The Center Director was talking to himself when he let out a hollow laugh.

That Eun Baekhap.

It was absurd even to himself to say that a top actor whose name most people could say just by looking at her face was being pushed in terms of popularity against a rising actor.

But what could be done? The public had fallen in love with child actor Huijae once again.

“Just looking at the comments on the music video, the result is already over.”

Behind-the-scenes cuts of adult Huijae, Eun Baekhap, were included too, but everyone was focusing on Han Yeoreum.

“In the voting, they’re winning by a landslide, but…”

Now that the story of adult Taejin and Huijae had been airing for several episodes, both 1st and 2nd place in the popularity poll included Eun Baekhap’s name.

But right after the song was released, the rankings immediately flipped.

2nd Place. Myeong Jeha Han Yeoreum (The Great Garland)

“Eun Baekhap’s pride must be properly cracked.”

But there was nothing that could be done. It was fortunate enough that the song was released just before the voting deadline, considering the reaction.

“If Eun Baekhap isn’t a fool, she can’t help but know.”

If this song had been released just a little earlier, the public would have been reminded of someone even while watching the adult Yeonhuijae.

Even if Ji Haebeom and Eun Baekhap won in vote count, they couldn’t stop the viewers’ hearts from leaning to one side.

“The result is bound to be decided.”

Buying Taeseok-Huijae four-cut photos

Please give me a price quote ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

#TheGreatGarland #GreatGar #FatedCouple #MyeongJeha #HanYeoreum

After the 【The Great Garland】 pop-up ended, the most common posts that came up when searching my name were four-cut photo purchase requests.

“They’re no longer exchange posts…!”

It meant there were that many people who became overly immersed after watching the music video.

Today I came to the airport to attend the Music N year-end awards ceremony held overseas. But I’m not as nervous as before.

‘Now I’m also a celebrity who’s gotten used to airport fashion shoots.’

Well, you get excited about airport fashion shoots when it’s just once or twice. I’m already in my third year since debut. Now I’m gradually shedding my rookie image and establishing myself…

Click-click-click-click-.

“Hello, Han Yeoreum!”

“Please look this way just once!”

As soon as I got out of the car, shutter sounds burst out from everywhere. I could feel the noise had clearly gotten louder than just moments before.

‘Today there are many other celebrities at the airport besides me because of the Music N event?’

Not just idols, but models and actors too. But the temperature of interest is different. Much hotter.

‘This is… the taste of terrestrial broadcasting…?’

It was different in nature from the attention after 【Strange Tales】 ended. I immediately realized what it meant to have the title ‘national’ attached before one’s name.

“Ah damn, what. I picked the wrong date.”

“Right. It’s really noisy…”

Airport users who seemed to have no interest in celebrities at all were frowning and grumbling, then made eye contact with me.

“Huh? Huh huh?”

=Hey, look at that person!

They seemed unable to remember my name well so they couldn’t speak, but I could tell from their welcoming gaze. The person who saw me vigorously tapped the shoulder of the person standing next to them.

“Oh! Oh oh!”

=Wow, I know that person!【/</p】

Then that person also looked at me with wide eyes.

“Eun Baekhap’s child actor!”

Even middle-aged and elderly people who had been passing by indifferently with no interest in idols were taking out their cell phones to photograph me.

‘At this rate, I might take the #1 spot for celebrity preferred by ages 10 to 80…’

I felt anew the firepower of terrestrial broadcasting.

“Yeoreum! Just one cheek heart please!”

Hundreds of shutter clicks rang out every second. Even after entering inside the airport, several reporters followed along.

‘Before, they just took photos and that was it…’

Thinking that I’m regaining the attention that was stolen by Myeong Jeha back then makes me feel overwhelmed. Inside the airport, celebrities and staff members, fans and reporters were all mixed together creating quite a crowd.

“Yeonhuijae is pretty!”

Then I heard a voice calling me from somewhere. I smiled and waved toward the direction the sound came from.

‘Eun Baekhap’s child actor…’

And I realized anew what name I was recognized by to the public who first met me through terrestrial broadcasting.

The character name Yeonhuijae. And Eun Baekhap’s child actor.

It meant that I was still lacking compared to the character’s completeness and Eun Baekhap’s recognition.

‘But later on…’

Could I surpass that Eun Baekhap? Could the name Han Yeoreum become more famous than the name Eun Baekhap?

I was making eye contact with each camera lens still photographing me and waving when shutter sounds rang out in the airport once again.

“It’s Do Gyeoul!”

Right. There’s no way Do Gyeoul would be missing from an event held in Japan.

I made eye contact with Do Gyeoul who was just entering the airport interior. Do Gyeoul was waving as if happy to see me.
