Chapter 79 Part
19:50 on the evening of November th.

The second episode of "Reply 1988" is still being aired in full swing.

In the first episode, director Shin Won-ho used five families living in Ssangmun-dong to show the social situation around 1988.

Through the dual narrative of "mutual alienation in the interaction between Jung-hwan and his mother" and "over-involvement in the interaction between Sun-woo and his mother", the film vividly tells the completely different communication status of the two families.

The second episode continues the foreshadowing of the two communication states in the first episode, and devotes a large amount of space to describing Sun-woo's parent-like performance.

The title of the second episode is "Your Misunderstanding of Me", and the whole episode revolves around this theme.

Because the scene begins with an interview with middle-aged Deok Sun, the plot also starts from Deok Sun's perspective.

The main plot of this episode is that Deok-sun misunderstands that her father is not sad about her grandmother's death.

There are many hidden plots, such as Deok-sun's misunderstanding that Bora doesn't care about her family;

Deok-sun misunderstands that Sun-woo likes her;
Sun Woo misunderstands Jung Hwan because of the necklace incident;

Deok-sun's father thought A-ze was still a child;

Aze initially misunderstood his friends' welcome prank, etc...

In addition to the main narrative line, there are also interesting plots interspersed.

Deok-sun races with the newspaper delivery boy to deliver Bora’s jacket;

Jung-hwan, Sun-woo, and the giant salamander were caught by the dean of instruction while wearing military uniforms to watch an adult theater;

Deok-sun's classmates were reading a pornographic book to them in class. When they came to the part about "thick bronze chests" with Deok-sun's lustful expression, the camera turned to Jung-hwan and Chinese giant salamander with their skinny bodies taking off their clothes on the football field.

At the end of the second episode, Deok-sun’s adult husband appears, foreshadowing his smoking.

As the second episode ended, the most popular topic online, apart from the apology to Paula who was criticized in the first episode and Kim Ki-hyun's figure, was guessing the husband (the male lead).

Everyone gave a unanimous opinion that whoever gets Deok-sun will be the male lead.

Sun Woo, who was originally positioned as a backup in the first episode, was successfully promoted to the male lead due to the content of Deok Sun's diary in the second episode and heated discussions among netizens.

But when the middle-aged Deok-sun's husband appeared at the end and left the foreshadowing of smoking, everyone was confused again.

[Could it be Aze? He is so well behaved, it is impossible for him to smoke? ]

[Sun Woo is even less likely, as the first episode already stated that he doesn't smoke! Could it be Go Hwan? ]

[In Gou Huan's eyes, even if the school bully doesn't smoke, he's still a good person! How could he possibly smoke! ]

[Then... giant salamander? But my middle-aged husband doesn't wear glasses! ]

[Damn it, who is this! The screenwriter is so good!!!]

However, while netizens were heatedly discussing who was Deok-sun's husband, the four protagonists were watching the pure dance version of "something" with expressionless faces...

That’s right, four.

The three brothers have made such a great sacrifice for Liu Junyeol's happiness, can he just stay out of it?

Even if it was just to please Lee Hye-ri, he had to go, after all, it was a dance for four people.

Even though all three of them could dance, they were risking their lives to dance a girl group dance while Yoo Jun-yeol was smiling and picking up girls below. This situation is unacceptable no matter where it happens, right?

Therefore, Yoo Jun-yeol, who was forced to work, had no choice but to follow the three people and learn while watching the pure dance version of "something" in the practice room.

In fact, the dance "something" is not difficult. If you just talk about the dance moves, it is very easy to learn.

However, the highlight of this dance is not the dance moves, but the seductive eyes, the seductive twists, the thigh show and some sexually suggestive movements...

After watching it three times, Jin Qixuan raised his hand and said, "I'll dance Fang Minya's part."

"Oh, you little rascal, no, you dance the Yura part!"

In the dance of "something", due to the standing position, when doing the first sexually suggestive kneeling and waist twisting movement, Fang Min-ah was blocked by Park So-jin when viewed from the front.

So this action can be sneaky.

Although the four of them have been friends for more than half a year through this drama, they still have a very good relationship.

But due to the cultural system of seniority and juniority, in the small circle of four people, Li Donghui is actually the eldest brother because of his age and seniority.

Although he didn't care much about it, Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-gum always used honorifics when speaking to them in private.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan could only remain silent in response to Li Donghui's disagreement.

However, Li Donghui is very considerate of other people's emotions. After saying this, he explained to Jin Qixuan:
"Since Yura is the face of the group, it makes sense for you to play the face of the group."

"But I think Baojian is more handsome than me."

Upon hearing this, Park Bo Gum quickly waved his hands:
"No, no, no, you're the most handsome."

Kim Ki-hyeon cannot do anything too outrageous towards Lee Dong-hui and Ryu Jun-yeol.

But for Park Bo Gum, Kim Ki-Hyun directly grabbed his throat and said in a threatening tone:

"You're the most handsome!"

Park Bo Gum quickly reached out to Lee Dong Hui for help:
"Ahem... Donghui-ge!"

Li Donghui reached out and patted Jin Qixuan's arm, saying:

"Alright, alright, it's settled. Junyeol will dance Hyeri's part, Bo Gum will dance Fang Min-ah's part, Qixuan will dance Yura's part, and I'll dance Park So-jin's part."

"All right……"

No matter what, dancing to "something" is a private matter and should not affect everyone's normal work.

Therefore, everyone gathered together to watch the video a few times, symbolically practiced their positioning, and then dispersed to practice privately.

After all, Lee Hye-ri didn't strictly order the time to jump. If she really wanted to delay it, it would actually be possible to delay it until the crew finished filming and never contact each other again...

The next day, the crew announced yesterday's ratings in the group chat:

The national ratings were 6.836%, with a peak of 8.86%, and the online ratings were 59.4%.

Although the ratings did not increase much, this was all within the expectations of Lee Yoo-jung and Shin Won-ho. After all, the previous part was mainly to lay the groundwork for the story and the plot has not yet unfolded.

However, they still followed tradition and collected online comments on the plot, then modified some content, as well as polished the lines and details in the completed segments.

So this week's task is to refine the third and fourth episodes and shoot the advertising content for the sponsor.

Refining content is actually more difficult than normal shooting, because you have to make breakthroughs based on the already excellent performance.

In this regard, it is not a question of role matching, it is purely a test of acting skills.

Fortunately, Jin Qixuan had accumulated half a year of acting experience, so he was not too stressed when facing this situation.

However, Lee Hye-ri, who had studied acting intensively for two months before filming, was a little at a loss when faced with this situation, and NGs were commonplace.

Jin Qixuan and the others did not complain, for fear that she would get angry and bring up the dance of "something".

However, because of this situation, Yoo Jun-yeol found an opportunity to quickly improve his relationship with Lee Hye-ri.
