Episode 78

After hesitating briefly at Jihye’s observation, I soon widened my eyes, pretending to be nonchalant.

“Oh, it must be my imagination. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten some exposure from being on TV?”

“No, not that kind of thing.”

Jihye shook her head and continued quietly.

“It’s like you suddenly changed completely. Your way of speaking, your eyes, your actions…”

“…”

“It’s like a different person is sitting here wearing my friend’s mask.”

“…!”

A chill ran down my spine.

Did she figure it out? That I regressed?

Or that I’m not the Ju Sae-i she used to know?

I had certainly changed a lot compared to the past. The me that Jihye remembered from this time period was always withdrawn, constantly watching Uncle’s mood.

So it was perhaps natural for her to think that way after seeing me like this.

I gulped down my dry saliva. Water droplets on the surface of the cup in my hand trickled down.

“Jihye, that’s…”

Just as I was about to stammer in confusion, Jihye grinned and added,

“Well, you’ve changed for the better. You used to be always intimidated and constantly reading the room, but now you look really confident and cool.”

“…Ah.”

“Were you surprised? Why do you look like that? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Did you see the mountain god by any chance? Jihye giggled and patted my shoulder.

Only then did I let out the breath I’d been holding.

That took ten years off my life…

“I should become more spirited too. I have a lot more to protect now.”

I answered with a forced smile.

Jihye didn’t probe deeply into what that meant and just nodded.

But was it my imagination that Jihye’s fingertips stirring the straw paused for a moment?

Tap tap, tap tap tap. Click!

In a room where the monitor’s glow was the only light, Jeong Ye-rim dramatically pressed the enter key.

With tens of thousands of followers, a veteran among veterans that everyone in the drama scene knew.

Username: Romacom Fans.

Jeong Ye-rim’s Romacom Fans account timeline was filled with cuts from the 4-episode web drama.

“Ah… This is really why I watch Korean dramas.”

Jeong Ye-rim scrolled the mouse wheel with trembling hands.

Right after episode 4 of 【Sanshin-nim’s Blessing】 ended, online communities and social media were in a festive mood.

No, it was like a religious gathering praising the newcomers Do Jehyeon and Ju Sae-i.

[Who said Sanshin-nim’s Blessing was interesting?]

Seo Hyeon-gyeom isn’t really a real person???????????

No really I think I went to the National Museum and saw the ornamental hairpin????????

Gyeom Ji-min please succeed Do Jehyeon Ju Sae-i do more works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Comments]

-Haha that was so entertaining to watch

-Do Jehyeon is really a god and Ju Sae-i is truly gifted.. I heard these two also filmed with Choi Gi-jeong so I’m only waiting for that…

-4 episodes is too short for these two’s chemistry, give us 16 episodes you broadcasting station people who don’t know the fundamentals

Jeong Ye-rim’s lips curved up to her ears as she read the flood of praise.

It was natural. Ju Sae-i was the newcomer she had discovered first.

After accidentally witnessing her casting scene at a cafe, she had promoted her to all her acquaintances.

The drama fan friends who used to listen half-heartedly were now all analyzing Ju Sae-i’s acting, so that said it all.

This sense of pride.

This thrill!

Like being the first to discover and polish a pearl in the mud that others didn’t know about, this parental feeling!

Jeong Ye-rim’s intuition that she wouldn’t be an ordinary genius was spot on.

Not only her power to lead the story from episodes 1 to 4, but her detailed facial expressions were truly…

‘It’s art, pure art.’

The complex expression Ju Sae-i showed when facing the reincarnated Seo Hyeon-gyeom at the end of episode 4 kept flickering before her eyes.

That subtle change of expression mixing relief, longing, and sadness was definitely not that of a newcomer.

“She’s really a genius, our Sae-i…”

Jeong Ye-rim, having calmed her excitement, solemnly began writing a new post.

As a notable figure in Korean dramas, she had to drive the final nail into the Sanshin-nim’s Blessing craze.

Romacom Fans 🔒 @showmetheroco

Let’s share favorite scenes with quotes to commemorate Sanshin-nim’s Blessing ending..

First, my favorite Sanshin-nim’s Blessing scene that I’ll take to my grave is this

(Video)

After uploading the post, Romacom Fans replayed the video she had attached.

‘Do you know what this independence activist Seo Hyeon-gyeom left behind? It’s something that would make you go crazy if you heard about it.’

‘I know, teacher! The ornamental hairpin!’

‘Correct! The scholars speculate that he probably left it behind because he couldn’t give it to Jeong In.’

So Ji-min’s expression distorting upon hearing those words was the highlight.

Jeong Ye-rim dared to guess. 【Sanshin-nim’s Blessing】 wasn’t simply a hit drama, but a masterpiece that led to the birth of the monster newcomer Ju Sae-i.

A peer actor who could match romantic chemistry with Do Jehyeon so deliciously? None.

An actor with perfect vocalization and diction while having flawless emotional lines? This was rare even among all adults.

Famous scenes began flooding in through quotes.

The post share count surpassing 3,000 was instantaneous.

“Hehehe…”

Jeong Ye-rim leaned back in her chair, looking fondly at Ju Sae-i’s face on the monitor.

With people going this crazy, it was strange that there was no news of upcoming projects besides 【Your Blue Name】.

Usually with this level of reaction, there would at least be rumors circulating, but news of Ju Sae-i’s next project was thoroughly shrouded in mystery.

‘Well, she’s probably building anticipation before dropping a bombshell, right? Somehow I feel like she has good taste in choosing projects.’

Starting her acting career with a Choi Sisters work was enough to… not worry about it.

Jeong Ye-rim logged out of her Romacom Fans account and logged into her private account ‘Dyu-ko-chung’, where she could fangirl without filters with her friends.

She habitually refreshed the timeline.

After refreshing a couple of times, an article link posted by a drama fan friend at the top of the timeline caught her eye.

Sae-i’s next project is out!!!!!

[Exclusive] ‘Sanshin-nim’s Blessing’ sensation Ju Sae-i, positively reviewing female lead role in the buzzworthy drama 【Romance Record Season 3】

“…Huh?”

The moment she finished reading the article, her breath caught.

If her eyes weren’t mistaken, the letters written in that article title were definitely…

【Romance Record】 series.

Shortened to Romance Record. Or Romance Record.

The legendary work that Jeong Ye-rim prayed desperately for every night before bed, saying ‘Give us Season 3, you broadcasting station bastards…’

The drama she had even filled a basin with water and prayed toward the broadcasting station after fasting because it wouldn’t come out.

“She’s… doing that?”

Her heart was pounding so hard it was starting to hurt.

If an article like this came out, internally they must have already finished discussions.

Her life’s work drama was returning as Season 3. And who was the lead?

Ju Sae-i.

Her new favorite and acting genius that she was determined to stan for life.

“This is insane….”

Her most beloved actor was going to star in the sequel to her most beloved drama. There could be no greater happiness than this.

This was a revelation bestowed upon romance fan Jeong Ye-rim by the gods of Korean drama.

“Aaaahhh!”

Jeong Ye-rim slammed the desk and then kicked her chair as she shot up to her feet.

She took back what she’d thought just moments ago about Ju Sae-i having good taste in works. Ju Sae-i’s eye for productions was legendary.

Jeong Ye-rim’s hands trembled like aspen leaves as she pounded the keyboard. She didn’t care if she made typos.

Dyu-ko-chung 🔒 @shoutoutorc

Hey everyone get out of the way shit.. ah seriously Ju Sae-i as the female lead of Romance Record please I feel like I’m being rewarded for living virtuously.. ah this isn’t a lie this is actually happening you guys seriously please I’m taking charge of Blu-ray production from today I’m not eating and saving money to support..

Looking at the article on her monitor with Ju Sae-i’s photo and the Romance Record logo side by side, Jeong Ye-rim shuddered with excitement. Just imagining it was a combination that made her gums go dry.
