Episode 52

 

***

 

Meanwhile, in a certain community’s Korean drama category, there were names that had been mentioned particularly frequently lately.

 

First, writer Choi Gi-jeong.

 

[Drama fans who’ll be watching Choi Gi-jeong’s new work, raise your hands]

 

Me first;;;;;;

 

Just looking at the poster and tagline, it already looks delicious

 

Han Sehyeok and Park Yeon-hui with child actor Dojehyeon is a guaranteed hit, right? Plus if it’s a youth drama, that’s Gi-jeong mom’s ultimate move, right? We have to watch it, right?

User1: There’s really nothing good to watch these days so I’m just waiting for Gijungdeu lololol ㅠ

 

└ OP: Me too… I just want to sleep and wake up to Your Blue Name already airing

 

드둥2: The teaser isn’t even out yet but I’m already so excited ㅜㅠㅠㅜㅠ I have infinite trust in Choi Ki-jung’s dramasㅠ

 

Drama fan 7: I’ve been living real life, what new work dropped recently????

 

└ Ddeudung9: Latecomers should start by skimming through the poster first lol (link)

 

Drama fans, the term for users of the Korean drama category.

 

Under some anonymous drama fan’s post, comments from drama fans waiting for Choi Gi-jeong’s 【Your Blue Name】 were quickly filling up.

 

[But Dojehyeon really had a glow-up]

 

Saying this after seeing the Your Blue Name poster

 

I was already surprised before because the kid was so handsome, but now he’s even more handsome than back then…?

 

May this noona dare to love you?

Drama fan 1: Ssuni, how old are you?

 

└ OP: Hehe twenty-eight years old

 

└ Drama fan 1: How old is Dojehyeon?

 

└ OP: I don’t know… I don’t want to know…

 

└ Drama fan 3: Dojehyeon is a high schooler, get a grip, girl.

 

Drama fan 2: If he’s handsome, he’s all oppa to me. I support Ssuni hehe So take a number and get behind me~

 

└ Drama fan 5: Hey hey Jehyeon, you can report here in order

 

└ Ddoong2: You traitor lol hahahahaha

 

Well-grown Dojehyeon was also steadily mentioned while receiving love from older fans. The reveal of his toned-down hairstyle in 【Your Blue Name】 seemed to satisfy the needs of older women.

 

And besides writer Choi Gi-jeong and Dojehyeon, there was another person who was often discussed, though not as much as the other main actors…

 

[But the female lead child actor in Choi Gi-jeong’s drama is a newcomer, right?]

 

I usually keep track of child actors pretty thoroughly, but this is a face I’ve never seen beforeㅇㅇ

 

Has Choi Gi-jeong ever used a newcomer as a main before??

 

I don’t think I’ve seen her even as a child actor,…??

 

[Comments: 11]

 

Deudung1: Yeah, I’m a newbie

 

└ OP: Ooh curious how her acting will be

 

드둥2: I don’t know about the acting, but she has the kind of face Choi Ki-jung would like ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ She’s got that typical Choi sisters female lead look..

 

└ 드둥5: I thought the same thing. She’s pretty but doesn’t have a common look, more like a face with a story behind it, like Park Yeon-hee ㅠ

 

└ OP: Ah right, she’s perfect as Park Yeon-hui’s child version… Want to see her acting

 

[About the newcomer child actor in Choi Gi-jeong’s new work]

 

You mean Ju Sae-i, right

 

Seeing how they even made a separate child actor poster this time, it must be Choi Gi-jeong putting strength into the child storyline

 

Dojehyeon is tier 0 in acting among child actors, not to mention his looks

 

But it’s really surprising that they paired a first-time newcomer against Dojehyeon

 

[Comments: 14]

 

Deudung1: Anything is fine as long as they’re not a terrible actor ㅠ

 

드둥2: Nah, or maybe they were chosen purely for their acting skills, but we’d need to see at least a teaser to judge lol

 

└ Drama fan 3: WTF) What’s that supposed to mean..???

 

└ Deudung2: Bwak~ I bet they got in through connections hehe

 

└ Drama fan 7: Eh but would Choi Gi-jeong accept that when she’s cooking her own masterpiece

 

Ju Sae-i.

 

Star writer Choi Gi-jeong’s exceptional casting.

 

Many people were commenting on Choi Gi-jeong’s move of pulling out the unfamiliar card called Ju Sae-i as the main child actor.

 

Most held expectations for the newcomer chosen by Choi Gi-jeong, but others poured cold water, saying she might be a parachute appointment.

 

Yes, in that situation…

 

[Breaking!!!!!! Dojehyeon seems to be doing a period drama!!!!!!!!!]

 

This is Gyeonggi Tourism Business…? story but he’s wearing hanbok and filming something!!!!

 

I thought it was a photoshoot but with the studio tag it looks like drama filming lol

 

But who’s the co-star next to him????

 

Is there anyone who can recognize faces?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 

[Comments: 81]

 

Drama fan 1: Wow finally Dojehyeon period drama

 

└ Drama fan 4: Is this real…? This is the first time Jehyeon’s worn hanbok since he went from baby to manly, right? Please

 

Drama fan 7: Hey isn’t that actor next to him that person??? Choi Gi-jeong’s newcomer child actor

 

└ 드둥9: Oh that sounds right lmao

 

└ Drama fan 6: Wow are they doing multiple works together..? She’s a newcomer but her co-star is Dojehyeon twice?

 

As the final touch, reactions to the on-set photos posted by the Gyeonggi Tourism Business Team.

 

Even though it hadn’t been revealed yet that this was ‘that’ Choi Gi-yeong’s new work, the combination of Dojehyeon and Ju Sae-i instantly became a hot topic.

 

Since nothing was known yet about Ju Sae-i’s acting skills, voice, or anything else, puzzled looks increased, but either way, Ju Sae-i’s name was becoming known in various ways.

 

***

 

【Sanshin-nim’s Blessing】, aka ‘Sanshin Blessing’ filming day.

 

This day had outdoor filming scheduled. The director had already hinted that there would be many more location schedules like this, since it was a drama aimed at promoting Gyeonggi-do tourist sites.

 

Though Sae-i had already experienced outdoor filming through 【Your Blue Name】, a work that was mainly outdoors definitely felt different.

 

First, there were too many variables.

 

“Huh? It’s raining, rain!”

 

Just the sudden downpour that hit during filming setup, which even the weather forecast couldn’t predict, said it all.

 

Actually, Sae-i had been secretly anxious. Ever since she got soaked in the rain with Ryu Dokyung at the columbarium, there had been unusually frequent showers.

 

Still, she had trusted the weather service…

 

Pitter-patter, plop.

 

At first, she thought the sound of rain hitting the leaves was quite atmospheric. However, it took less than 3 seconds for that sentiment to be shattered.

 

“Cover the equipment! Camera, camera!”

 

A bolt from the blue, no, a water bolt poured down.

 

When the torrential rain that wasn’t even in the weather forecast hit the filming set, staff members screamed and moved frantically. The outdoor location that was supposed to capture the beautiful scenery of the tourist site instantly became chaos.

 

In the middle of that chaos, a figure wearing a yellow raincoat was running around busily.

 

“Take this! Put it on quickly!”

 

“Huh, huh? Sae-i?”

 

It was Ju Sae-i. The newcomer actor with the shortest career on set.

 

As if determined to become the self-proclaimed and publicly recognized ‘raincoat ambassador’, Sae-i was dragging around a box as big as herself, distributing raincoats to supporting actors and production staff.

 

“Those people under the tree too! Put this on!”

 

Just as she was bustling around handing raincoats to minor actors, Dojehyeon, who had just gotten out of a van, approached with a dazed expression.

 

“…Ju Sae-i? What are you doing?”

 

At the appearance of Dojehyeon, who had just arrived all dry and fluffy, Sae-i’s eyes sparkled. A perfect worker had just walked in on his own.

 

“You’re here? Perfect timing. Help me carry this.”

 

“This? Me?”

 

Dojehyeon ended up taking the raincoat box Sae-i handed him. He raised his eyebrows as if bewildered.

 

“Why would you bother doing something like this…”

 

“Can’t you see it’s pouring rain?”

 

Sae-i firmly cut off Dojehyeon’s words.

 

“Lead, supporting, extras, staff – everyone gets soaked, you know? Whoever has free hands should help.”

 

“That’s true, but….”

 

“Hurry, those people over there haven’t gotten theirs yet.”

 

“….”

 

Dojehyeon lost his words for a moment and looked down at Sae-i.

 

Even looking like a drowned rat, her eyes were sparkling with determination to take care of others – it was quite… amusing. No, should I say admirable?

 

“Ha, seriously.”

 

Dojehyeon let out a hollow laugh and rolled up his sleeves.

 

“Fine. I should go this way?”

 

“Over there by the stone stairs!”

 

“Just hand all the stuff to me. You just hold the umbrella.”

 

The supposedly top child actor Dojehyeon began carrying boxes of rain gear, not even caring that his shirt was getting soaked. Behind him, Ju Sae-i in her yellow rain gear chased after him holding an umbrella and shouting.

 

“Please make way, rain gear coming through.”

 

“The sizes are generous! If we run short, I’ll bring more!”

 

In the sudden downpour, it was quite a spectacle – two lead actors running around drenched in sweat.

 

The staff and supporting actors watching this scene had their eyes wide with amazement.

 

“Incredible…. Dojehyeon is personally handing them out?”

 

“Looks like Sae-i is controlling him.”

 

“It’s incredible that Dojehyeon does whatever she tells him to.”

 

A warm feeling was rising through the cold rain.

 

This would later become a heartwarming tale from the filming set of <The Mountain God Blesses> that would be remembered for years to come – the birth of the ‘Rain Gear Couple.’
