Heidream’s 12th episode ratings hit 23%.
During Lee Jae-yi’s La Campanella performance, ratings peaked at 26%.
With four episodes remaining, the ratings are soaring sharply.
Along with the ratings, various communities are buzzing with hot reactions.
“Ahh… Lee Jae-yi, he’s like a friend, you know…”
“Lee Jae-yi < Is this guy possibly Utsuha? The settings are eerily similar..." "A genius? o" "Did something go wrong in his family? o" "Is there one guy who keeps insisting on being called a friend until the end? o" It’s the era of War Noble. Ninjas are battling in the Fourth War, A rubber man fights to save his fiery brother, And at the moment, the last human strike is about to take down the great death king. People seriously debated what Lee Jae-yi's position was. "When did Mr. Lee Jae-yi become so petty?" "I declare the era of the F4 is over; the era of 'Petty Jae-yi' has begun!" "Pettyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ!" "But it kind of smells like they stretched the plot unsuitably, right?" "Yeah, no matter what I think, Kim Donghu < This guy is smashing everything with just his acting, so it feels like they modified the content." "It would have made sense for Heidream to just win originally." Petty Jae-yi. The expression of contempt shown to the inferior kids at the beginning, And in episode 12, the face of someone crying after hearing the word ‘friend.’ These two photos started circulating together on the internet. Normally, they wouldn’t be that funny, But Kim Donghu’s handsome face brought out unnecessary laughter. The piano performance was no different. "But seriously, did he actually play this?" "It feels staged... staged... staged;;;" "I’m catching a whiff of some homemade wood burning here~" "Definitely not! I'm Donghu's classmate from middle school, super close to Kang Sik, and Donghu is so perfect that his piano performance is nothing. Don't talk without knowing!ㅇ" "Space out the words a bit, what are you saying? I'm about to lose my mind." Even someone who's clueless can tell the performance skill is top-notch. His face looks unreal, he acts well, and plays piano too? It’s only natural to have suspicions. "Hmmm... I guess I should investigate." "Kim Donghu past controversy broke out!!!!!!" "What’s that about?" "Kim Donghu < Professor Gyaruk!> appearance ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ he was born petty from the start~”
(A clip of Kim Donghu doing squats in Professor Gyaruk!)
“Why did our Jae-yi grow up so handsome? Oh, it’s because he was doing squats diligently^^”
“Wow, but even as a kid, he had a different vibe, he’s ridiculously handsome.”
“There’s an actual controversy, though; once, Kim Donghu hit me.”
Um
Well, I guess you’ll just have to admit it, haha~
Then it was revealed later on that Kim Donghu had appeared in [Kka-reuk Parksa-nim!]
As his popularity grew, people wanted more information about Kim Donghu,
And they started scouring through his past to gobble up everything that exists.
Uh-oh, I think we should stop investigating Kim Donghu.
Why?
He learned mixed martial arts for seven years and has nice skills, even received a brown belt…
Uhm… I just found out he’s the top student in school.
He’s handsome, fights well, plays piano well, studies well—what kind of unfair world is this?
Well, you’re probably being plastered all over the Internet with those grumpy memes, hahahahaha!
Hahahahahaha, see, God is fair!
Drrrrr!
Observing all these reactions,
“Aahhh, I’m alive.”
Lee Minha stretched her arms and let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing the reactions from the community, there were more favorable comments,
So it was concluded that the reactions for the following episodes wouldn’t be bad either.
‘There are about four episodes left, so if Lee Jae-yi shows up intermittently to spice things up, we’ll be golden.’
The upcoming romance part will definitely secure more ratings.
If that happens, hitting the 30% rating wall wouldn’t be just a dream.
‘After all, the secret garden filmed by SKS got over 35%.’
What reason do we have not to?
Besides.
‘I didn’t make Lee Jae-yi leave; I had him join instead…’
If all goes well, it wouldn’t be weird for him to star in Hydream 2.
‘At this rate, I preserved the theme of Hydream, and we don’t need to revise the ending.’
It’s just an addition of Lee Jae-yi’s role to the original ending.
‘If all goes well, Kim Donghu might ask to work with me in his next project…!’
For a moment, she was lost in happy fantasies.
Ding ding ding!
Lee Minha’s phone rang roughly, making its presence known.
‘Director Kim Cheoldo?’
Why is he calling at this time?
Let’s just pick up and think about it.
“Hello.”
– Hahahahaha! Writer Lee Minha! How have you been? Good lunch to you.
“Yeah, yeah, I had a tasty meal. Did you have lunch, director?”
– Oh, I’m about to eat now. Anyway, it seems we’ll be having a Hydream special concert soon, so I wanted to ask if you could come and grace us with your presence.
“Special concert?! Of course, I’ll go! Is actor Kim Donghu coming too?”
– Yes, yes, just finished the arrangements. What would we do if our lucky actor didn’t show up, hahahahahaha.
“That’s great; just send me the schedule and I’ll adjust my plans!”
– Understood. Then I’ll see you then!
“Yes!”
Hahahahaha.
With that hearty laugh, the call ended.
A special concert, sounds amazing!
“Is there really going to be a concert? That sounds amazing!”
“It seems like the response within the broadcasting station is really good.”
“Of course, it’s Kim Donghu we’re talking about!”
“He must be having a blast right about now.”
Around the time writer Lee Minha was having those thoughts…
At the same time, in the room of a ridiculously handsome actor.
“AAAH! How did you find those childhood gymnastics photos?!”
Due to some embarrassing past,
WHAM WHAM WHAM!
With screams, the blanket was being assaulted by countless kicks.
++++++
Time leisurely passed, and it was the week of episodes 13 and 14 airing on Saturday.
Brilliant’s CEO, Han Seong-mun, was sitting in the meeting room, shaking his legs nervously.
He had no idea what kind of results this meeting, which could determine the company’s fate, would bring.
“Am I shaking right now?”
“Yes, you’re shaking quite a lot.”
“Yeah, I can’t help it, can I?”
“That’s right.”
“I thought things would work out this way.”
A bidding war for Kim Donghu.
Brilliant was clearly taking a big risk to win that battlefield.
Tens of millions in contract fees and various royalties.
A crazy amount of investment for a newcomer who had just debuted on TV.
But Han Seong-mun believed it was the right move.
“Just looking at public opinion, everyone’s talking about Kim Donghu, and that Kim Donghu is going to show up in our school uniform.”
Thanks to such bold investment, they were able to use a relatively cheaper idol trainee for the female model.
But who cared? As long as they could secure Kim Donghu, it didn’t matter.
Ding dong.
The end of this wait always turned out to be good.
Feeling a premonition that things would go well,
“There he is.”
Han Seong-mun turned his gaze toward the sound of the bell.
Kim Donghu.
Currently heating up the online world and known as the charming “Lee Jae-yi.”
Watching him on the screen made him think he must be a camera magnet, right?
“That doesn’t make sense.”
Seeing him in person, it seemed like he wasn’t getting camera magic at all.
“Is it true that if you’re too handsome, a halo appears behind your face?”
Even with such otherworldly looks, he didn’t feel intimidating at all.
In fact, it almost felt familiar, if that made sense?
One would think someone that good-looking would feel strange, but he didn’t give off that vibe at all, making him look even more attractive.
Just when a ridiculously handsome guy walked toward him,
Han Seong-mun found himself at a loss for words.
“Hello, I’m Kim Donghu.”
Bowing.
He was a super popular actor, so he could have had a high-and-mighty attitude,
Yet he bowed and greeted like that.
“He’s so polite.”
Han Seong-mun was flustered right from the start.
He was flustered in the car.
He was used to his manager bowing to greet him.
But seeing an actor be this overly polite was strange.
“Shall we head inside? Would you like some snacks or something?”
“No, it’s fine. We’re really comfortable, so we can get straight to the point.”
“Oh, is that so? Then let me sit down and we can talk.”
The business conversation between Han Sang-mun and Choi Seok-ho progressed very quickly.
In fact, there wasn’t much to discuss.
The conditions were so favorable for both sides,
And they had already coordinated any additional modifications in advance.
So what were they meeting for?
“Can we jump right into the model shoot?”
It was for the photoshoot that followed the exclusive model contract.
If the contract went smoothly,
They would be shooting the school uniform photoshoot immediately in the studio.
“There’s a female model here too, so it wouldn’t hurt to introduce ourselves before we start shooting.”
“Donghu, they’re asking what you think.”
“Yeah, sure! If we get to know each other before shooting, we can be more friendly.”
“Great, then let me guide you to the waiting room.”
Han Sang-mun quickly led Kim Donghu to the waiting room.
“Oh, by the way, I have a few suggestions regarding the photoshoot.”
Before everyone entered the waiting room to greet each other,
Choi Seok-ho stopped Han Sang-mun’s footsteps and started discussing a good business idea.
Sensing that the adults’ conversation would drag on, Kim Donghu decided to enter the waiting room first.
And there…
“Wow, what the… she’s super pretty?”
There was a girl who boasted a sculptural beauty.
Looking just at her face, she seemed like a peer, but her proportions were model-level.
You’d believe she was a high school student.
Kim Donghu was about to bow to greet her.
“Kim Donghu?”
Suddenly, the girl’s eyes went wide, and she lunged into his arms.
“Uh, excuse me?!”
Kim Donghu was taken aback.
“It’s me, don’t you remember?”
He couldn’t answer her question carelessly because he truly didn’t remember.
“Wh-who…?”
The soon-to-be world-famous top star idol.
“It’s me, your bride, Ryu Jaerin.”
Ryu Jaerin looked up at Kim Donghu and smiled brightly.
“Hey honey, how have you been?”
