Thus, the broadcasted web promotion variety show for
A completely unpredictable development.
More than that, a great chaos featuring a sudden dance, accompanied even by singing, for something claiming to be a youth romance.
Only two scenes were revealed, but that alone was enough to set all drama-related communities on fire.
- Did this meme come from here?
- Ma Yeon-woo that bastard lol fuck, it's unbelievable
- At least act; it's so obvious you snapped out of character on your face.
For reference, the match between the actor team and the idol team this time ended in a perfect draw.
It was natural that the idol team secured a landslide victory in singing and choreography.
In the acting part, they were somewhat even, but that was because of Ma Yeon-woo's so-called severe bad acting.
Normally, he should have been cursed at.
- That can't be helped... I admit it...
- Ma Yeon-woo, you're top tier
- He gave us a great laugh
Ma Yeon-woo's bad acting was literally circulating as memes across all communities.
The scene of him suddenly walking while dancing.
The passionate dance moves shown to the accompaniment of Seo-yeon's singing.
The team that won the acting part was Park Jung-woo's team, who showed stable acting, but the one that became a hot topic was definitely Ma Yeon-woo's side.
Thanks to that, along with Ma Yeon-woo's dazzling dance moves, Seo-yeon also became a hot topic.
- Seo-yeon... I really like you, but... let's not sing...
- Just dance, only dance
- With that singing combined with Ma Yeon-woo's acting, I couldn't bear to watch anymore. Am I the only one?
- I turned it off while watching too
- Is this the so-called uncanny valley??
Anyway, as it became this much of a hot topic, YouTubers and various other places started picking it up, and analyses of what kind of work
“Looking at this, it feels like it's professing to be a musical drama. This is quite refreshing... wait, is it not?”
“But this is a fresh attempt. Usually, if this is a drama, right? Most of the lead actors are a bit older. Even high school student roles are played by adults.”
“But who is this? Ah, a child actor? Joo Seo-yeon? I know her too. Saw her on a recent variety show?”
Thus, a YouTuber bit the bait of that hot topic.
A 1 million subscriber YouTuber.
Han Bong-sik, who mainly reviews video content like movies and dramas, was that person.
At first, honestly, he didn't even have any interest in
“Then, I'll give it a proper review.”
Like that, the YouTuber started watching the video from the beginning.
First, the hot topic—the first acting of
“To summarize this scene roughly. This friend named Jo Ha-rin has no talent. So she's pessimistic, and Park Min-yool, who has a crush on Jo Ha-rin, comforts her by dancing... Wait, who wrote this script?”
- This is the correct reaction ㅇㅇ
- Going to lose my mind
- Why is it India that comforts while dancing????
- India only dances, they don't sing, right?
First of all, just hearing the summary was highly confusing.
Even he, who had reviewed countless dramas and movies, was momentarily bewildered.
“Seeing what's posted on the homepage, it's a serious youth romance drama. Am I misunderstanding the word 'serious'?”
Anyway, after watching all the scenes that became an issue, he nodded his head.
Still, having already seen them, the impact was less.
“Ah, so that's how it is.”
- What is?
- Explain it so we understand
“Looking at it, both are still immature in their own fields. Joo Seo-yeon in singing, Ma Yeon-woo in acting. So it became even weirder. Look at Park Jung-woo's side. There's no issue. They say he did moderately well, right?”
- That's true then
- That side has the same scenes but it's a bit boring
Anyway, that's how it is.
Of course, Park Jung-woo's side also clearly showed some immature parts.
However, Kim Si-hwan's character was someone whose specialty was singing.
Since Park Jung-woo himself could sing quite well, there was no way it would be ruined.
At most, Hwang Seol-ha, the actor on the same team, stumbled a little.
“On the other hand, for this side, not only is the first one like that, but there's also the second one.”
If the first scene was Seo-yeon and Ma Yeon-woo's part.
The second was a part featuring Seo-yeon and Cha Na-hee.
It seemed like having two idols handle the acting part was too burdensome, so they definitely included Seo-yeon in it.
- I got goosebumps watching this
- Is it that good??
- Humans originally get goosebumps when they feel fear, bro...
“You guys are too much. This is still better.”
Fortunately, in this scene, Seo-yeon danced, so it was a bit better.
He didn't know why dancing and singing appeared in every scene, but I guess it was that kind of drama to begin with.
“So there are quite a few memes. At least the visible dancing meshes well with the acting.”
- Definitely then
- Seo-yeon acts really well ㅇㅇ
- Wow, Joo Seo-yeon already has fans?? Look at the soft chat
- She's pretty
“Clearly, just looking at this, it wasn't done as a joke. They were sincere, and honestly, you know. It looks like this because we're watching it like this, but if it's filmed properly as a video, it'll be completely different.”
It was something he could say because he was a video review YouTuber.
Because he had seen so many works.
“Looking at it now, the singing and instrumental come out, but the camera doesn't move much, right? So to speak, the scene itself wasn't filmed with a drama-style composition, but in a variety show style that captures everything. Then naturally, it can only be funnier.”
- Ah I get it (Don't get it)
- If you don't understand that, are you an elementary school graduate??
“So if they add directing and edit that funny scene now like a drama? It could become completely different.”
Of course, since the script is like that, it wouldn't give a thrilled or great feeling.
Still, it was clear that it would be much better.
“If both sides properly practice their weaknesses, I honestly think the performance is worth expecting. Over 20% viewership ratings! I predict!”
- Bong-sik, are you serious?
- If this gets 20% viewership, I'll kill myself
- Korea is ruined
There was a reason why Han Bong-sik was so confident.
‘Joo Seo-yeon's acting, and her dancing are really good.’
Honestly, he just didn't say it properly, but he was inwardly surprised.
If he said everything here, he would have nothing to say when it aired later.
‘Still a high schooler? There's a reason she's already filmed a drama and a movie each.’
For reference, Han Bong-sik had also reviewed 'Tae-sum-dal' when reviewing classic dramas.
Seeing the child actor he had poured praise on back then grown up brought new emotions.
‘There's also
Park Jung-woo's side was also steady in acting, but this side too would be completely different with proper editing.
He was confident that it could exceed 20%.
“You can screenshot this. It's real, it will exceed 20%.”
Thus, the words of the million-subscriber YouTuber Han Bong-sik, making the outrageous boast of 20% viewership ratings, were screenshotted.
***
Inwardly, Seo-yeon was worried about one thing.
‘What if I get terrorized by JustX fans?’
Malicious comments or petty terrorism through gifts were quite common.
She worried about how she should cope if she were to suffer it too.
‘Rather, I wish they'd come to my school.’
Thinking such thoughts, Seo-yeon suddenly wondered if she should learn self-defense.
She was already learning to some extent at Cheonghong Action School, but she thought that might not be enough.
Moreover, the reason Seo-yeon came to have such thoughts wasn't simply because she was worried about fan terrorism.
“Nice to meet you!! I'm Row, the leader of JustX.”
“My brother causes a lot of trouble, right? I'm Do Ho-jin.”
“Here, here, drink this and let's talk.”
There was a time when all members of JustX visited the filming set.
Anyway, since Ma Yeon-woo was a member of JustX, they called the members together to use it for promotion.
For reference, Killer Hong's real name was Hong Yong-sik.
They say he uses the pseudonym Do Ho-jin to hide his tacky name.
Anyway, Ma Yeon-woo was playing a major role in promotion in various ways.
So the writer had the intention that it would be good to put him in as a cameo at least once.
“Ah, that's a bit.”
Director Kim Pil-seok refused.
But using it for promotion was okay.
It was roughly an internet advertisement where Ma Yeon-woo, no, 'Park Min-yool', has a dance battle with the members of JustX.
And before filming, they happened to greet Seo-yeon, who had arrived early and was waiting on set.
“You're Seo-yeon, right? I've heard a lot about you from Yeon-woo.”
‘The idol who takes drugs.’
“That's right, my brother talked about you so much.”
‘Apgujeong Killer Hong.’
“Wow, but this is an actor. I see why they say idols can't do this when they stand next to an actor.”
‘Gangnam Chair King’
Anyway, with people possessing such formidable nicknames appearing, Seo-yeon couldn't help but be nervous.
“Hello.”
“Ah, yes. Please take good care of Yeon-woo in the future too.”
Of course, they were slightly puzzled by Seo-yeon's distancing attitude but only nodded.
‘Is she ignoring idols because she's an actor?’
Actors ignoring idols was quite common.
Especially for such a young high school student, it was easier to be infected with that kind of thinking.
Now that he thought about it, 'Gangnam Chair King' Lee Hyun inexplicably didn't like it.
‘Should I give her a taste?’
In my past life, he was a man who picked up countless women at clubs, made the news five times with crimes of passion.
And later made a name for himself with a sexual favors scandal at a club he ran.
He smiled brightly at Seo-yeon.
Because there had never been a woman who didn't fall for his smile yet.
“……?”
Seo-yeon, who received that smile, frowned for no reason.
Because for Seo-yeon, who roughly knew his flashy history, it was a smile whose reason she could guess.
“Ah, what are you doing!”
At that moment, Ma Yeon-woo hurriedly ran over and wedged himself between the members.
“Seo-yeon ssi? No, Seo-yeon-ah? Anyway, stop bothering her and go, go, go.”
“Ah, what. Suddenly.”
Lee Hyun was flustered by Ma Yeon-woo's action of suddenly pushing his back.
But Ma Yeon-woo was flustered for a different reason.
Honestly, he was startled.
‘What the hell is this bastard doing to a high schooler?’
Acting like that to a minor would normally cause a huge fuss.
Ma Yeon-woo, he purely just had bad character, but he didn't want to fall into the abyss.
He might tolerate a light controversy, but this was a bit much.
Moreover, he could see the look in Seo-yeon's eyes gradually turning red.
It was a gaze that became eerie every time he saw it, and Ma Yeon-woo knew well what happened if you got caught by it at times like this.
‘It just didn't appear on the broadcast video.’
Ma Yeon-woo shuddered.
Probably, Cha Na-hee would also sympathize with his thought.
‘Team Idol’ was still continuing to some extent even now that the advertisement was over.
When matching the acting chemistry, it always proceeded with the three of them like that.
“Still, the side that has matched the chemistry once is better, right?”
Because Director Kim Pil-seok had said that.
So in this
“Your eye line handling is not good.”
“……Eye line handling?”
“You have to think about where the camera is.”
Seo-yeon said so and demonstrated.
Ma Yeon-woo felt it every time.
The kid was a bit scary, but still, an actor is an actor.
There was definitely something that made it hard to take your eyes off her.
Cha Na-hee also listened to Seo-yeon's words.
A model student.
Since Cha Na-hee was exactly like that, Ma Yeon-woo, a troublemaker, had no choice but to behave.
Moreover, Seo-yeon was strict.
Whenever Ma Yeon-woo made a mistake, he could see her eyes gradually narrowing.
When he set his posture, she would correct that posture with her own hands, and every time, Ma Yeon-woo felt his body creaking.
‘No, that's weird.’
Ma Yeon-woo also had a body trained through dance, but he couldn't resist Seo-yeon's strength at all.
Seeing that she didn't shed a single drop of sweat even after dancing and practicing for a long time....
“Hey, Ma Yeon-woo. What are you doing?”
“Ah, whatever. Just shoot the ad. I saved your life.”
“What are you talking about?”
Lee Hyun couldn't understand Ma Yeon-woo's words.
Saved my life? What did he save me from?
He harbored such a question, and in Seo-yeon's case.
‘The members get along well.’
Even though he's a criminal... she felt a little envious.
Lee Ji-yeon also didn't like it when others clung to her like that.
But looking at it from school, there are kids like that too.
Seo-yeon inwardly had that kind of longing.
‘Still, soon.’
Seo-yeon was full of confidence.
The number of students approaching Seo-yeon in various ways through JustX had increased.
If they just got a little closer, she would be able to reach the realm of friends.
As Seo-yeon felt so confident.
The drama in question, the broadcast of
