……

Choi Min-ah refreshed the comment section which was constantly increasing in number.

The cold light from the computer screen reflected on her eyelids, which were blue from staying up late.

The DC station, which originally had only 190 members, is now seeing its membership surge at a rate of 2-3 members per second.

She didn't expect that being a Blue Dragon Award presenter would cause Jiang Jae-hoon's attention to soar.

Click on the background data——

The moment I pressed the enter key, the private message notification sound rang out like a rainstorm.

[I have a candid video of Macbeth! The angle is a bit crooked, but you can clearly see the lady's skirt!]

KBS Radio Backstage Footage (Photo with Yoo In Na)

【…】

Choi Min-ya clicks on the latest submission video——

A candid clip of Kang Jae-hoon helping the crew move equipment on the set of "The Heirs".

In the picture, he is wearing a school uniform shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, and the lines of his forearms are tensed and stretched as he moves boxes.

She decisively dragged the video into the [Lifestyle] folder and titled it [130916 Behind-the-scenes footage of "The Heirs"].

The number of folders has skyrocketed from 37 to 89.

As the morning light began to shine outside the window, Choi Min-a finally updated the last resource link.

She slumped back in her chair, looking at the screen full of [Check-in], and suddenly remembered how deserted this site used to be when she was the only one posting good morning messages every day.

The refresh button is pressed for the last time——

The number of members is fixed at [190→2103].

Three hours later.

In the Seoul subway during the morning rush hour, countless thumbs swipe across mobile phone screens.

"Ding--"

NAVER's real-time hot search list pushes, and Blue Dragon Award-related terms dominate the top ten:
#HopeBest Film#
#Huang Zhengmin won the Blue Dragon Award for the second time#
#Han Hyo Joo Blue Dragon Film Queen#
# Luo Meilan won the Best Supporting Actress Award#

[27th Floor]: After watching the replay, what the hell is "Thanks to my father-in-law and mother-in-law"? Hahaha!

[44th floor]: Even Hwang Jung-min would be stunned for three seconds after seeing this
[59th Floor]: It is recommended to directly award the Best Imitation Award.

[66th Floor]: She looks pretty decent, but she was so nervous when she went on stage that she almost fell down. She's kind of cute kkk
……

Lunch break on the set of "The Heirs".

Krystal Jung curled up in a folding chair, holding her phone and repeatedly watching the video of Kang Jae-hoon accepting the Blue Dragon Best Actor award on her behalf.

in the screen.

The way he was so nervous that he almost tripped made her mouth curl up unconsciously.

“How many times?”

Kim Ji-won suddenly poked her head out from behind, scaring Krystal so much that her hands started shaking and she almost dropped her phone.

“…Three times.”

"Oh—what did you see?"

Kim Ji-won sat down next to her.

"..."

Seeing her pursed lips and not answering, Jin Zhiyuan narrowed her eyes:

"You're not staring at my face, are you?"

"So what?"

“Tsk, tsk, tsk—”

Jin Zhiyuan shook her head and said, "Some people don't even pretend anymore?"

"ah!"

Krystal was about to fight, but was stopped by Kim Ji-won's sudden change of subject:

"It's almost finished."

"..."

"After filming wraps up, you're no longer 'Chanyoung Bona'."

"……I know."

Krystal's voice suddenly dropped.

This fact made her feel an inexplicable bitterness in her chest.

"Why, you can't bear it?"

Kim Ji-won keenly captured her emotional changes.

"No!"

Krystal retorted reflexively, then slumped her shoulders in frustration: "I'm just a little uncomfortable."

Jin Zhiyuan nodded in understanding:

"After all, we've been together day and night for three months. What are your plans after this?"

"What...what are you planning?"

"Play dumb."

Jin Zhiyuan poked her forehead and said meaningfully: "If Teacher Jiang is asked out by another actress, don't come to me crying."

Zheng Xiujing raised her head suddenly, her eyes wide open:
“Who would cry?”

Jin Zhiyuan shrugged: "Okay, it's not me who will regret it anyway."

From a distance, the sound of the stage manager preparing to start work could be heard.

Krystal Jung hurriedly stood up, but the moment she turned around, her eyes unconsciously drifted to the other end of the set——

Jiang Jae-hoon was looking down at the script.

(After filming was completed.)

(Will we meet again?)
The thought flashed through her mind, yet it made her heart skip a beat. A week later.

After the 15th and 16th episodes of "The Heirs" were broadcast, the ratings broke the record again——

Average viewership: 23.3% (↑1.7%)

Peak ratings: 26.1% (Chan-young and Bo-na reunion drama)

Since breaking the 20% mark for the first time in episode 12, the show's ratings have been steadily climbing at a rate of 1-2% per episode.

The foreshadowing carefully laid out in the first ten episodes exploded in the subsequent plot——

Every episode is high-energy, and every episode makes the audience exclaim "it's not enough".

The peak ratings, as expected, appeared in the scene where Kang Jae-hoon and Krystal Jung were in the same frame.

Today, "The Heirs" is not only a popular drama in South Korea, but has also become a focus of discussion in the entire East Asia region.

The leading actors received a lot of notices, and their value rose accordingly.

Kim Woo Bin's schedule has been scheduled until 2015.

At the same time, the brutality of the Shuimu drama battlefield has reached an unprecedented height——

MBC's "Medical Team" averaged 5.6% viewership ratings, with the lead actor Kwon Sang-woo's tough doctor image failing to salvage the script's flaws.

KBS's "Pretty Man" even dropped to 3.1%, and Jang Keun Suk's appearance could not withstand the collapse of the Mary Sue plot.

These two dramas were overshadowed by "The Heirs" and it was difficult for them to maintain even basic discussion.

The topics on social platforms are almost dominated by characters such as Kim Tan, Young Do, and Chan Young.

In fact, the success of "The Heirs" is not accidental——

Kim Eun-sook's precise control of the character's growth;
Director Kang Shin-hyo's cinematic pursuit of camera language;

Fu Shengzhe’s clever balance of commercial elements;
Coupled with the unexpected chemistry between the main actors...

The combination of all these factors has created this phenomenal work.

And this moment.

There are only ten days left until the official wrap-up.

With the main plot filming completed, the subsequent filming tasks became much easier.

The main actors' roles were concentrated on reshooting shots and adjusting individual scenes, and the daily shooting time was reduced from the original 16 hours to 8 hours.

The sudden free time made these actors, who had been together day and night for three months, start to cherish their last time together.

"Time flies so fast. It feels like I just finished filming my first scene yesterday."

Park Shin Hye sighed while holding a cup of hot cocoa.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we arrange a follow-up party after the wrap party?"

Park Hyung-sik suggested with a smile, “We can’t just disband after filming.”

"can."

Jin Yubin nodded: "But we have to find a place with good confidentiality to avoid being photographed by reporters and writing nonsense."

"Wu Bin Oppa's treat?"

Jin Zhiyuan blinked and teased him deliberately: "You are a popular actor now."

Jin Yubin smiled helplessly:

"Okay, I'll treat you, but you have to make sure you don't order anything too expensive."

Several people laughed together, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

Zheng Xiujing's gaze unconsciously drifted to a place not far away——

Jiang Zaixun was sitting alone on a folding chair in the corner, writing something in his notebook with his head down. He was so focused that he didn't even hear the laughter around him.

Park Hyung-sik followed her gaze and suddenly stood up with a wicked smile:
"I'll go see what he's writing."

"Ah! Don't—"

Krystal subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Park Hyung-sik had already strode over.

Jiang Zaixun was immersed in writing a character's biography when he suddenly felt a shadow looming. He looked up and saw Park Hyung-sik standing in front of him, smiling.

"What are you writing so seriously?"

Park Hyung-sik bent down to look at his notebook.

Jiang Zaixun closed the notebook reflexively: "Nothing, just some character analysis..."

"Character analysis?"

Park Hyung-sik raised an eyebrow: "We're almost done filming, why are we still analyzing it?"

He quickly grabbed the notebook and opened it to see—

[Biography of Detective Yin]

Age: 25
Personality: Patient and tenacious, honest and hardworking, and respectful of predecessors.

He is meticulous in his work and absolutely obeys orders, but he lacks the ability to adapt and often makes small mistakes due to nervousness.

background:

Ordinary background, budding idealism, and team lubricant.

Because of his gentle personality and hardworking attitude, he became the "darling" of the criminal police team and was responsible for mediating the tense atmosphere under high-pressure tasks.

Key turning point:

The truck driver's "suicide" case → the nightclub undercover operation failed → facing Zhao Taiyu's brutality.

……

"Biography?"

Park Hyung-sik read the title aloud, drawing the attention of others:

"Wow, you've already started preparing for a new role?"

"Teacher Jiang has accepted a new role?"

Kim Ji-won was the first to come over.

"TV series or movie?"

Kim Woo Bin also came over curiously.

"Movie."

Jiang Zaixun awkwardly tried to take back the notebook:
"Just preliminary preparations..."

"Wait, this Detective Yin..."

Kim Ji-won pointed to one of the lines and said, "Want to do pole dancing?"

"What!?"

Krystal stood up suddenly and rushed over in two steps.

She stared at the words for several seconds: "You, you can dance on a pole?"

"Won't……"

Jiang Zaixun answered honestly: "The director asked me to learn..."

"puff--"

Park Hyung-sik chuckled, "When do you start learning? I want to watch!"

"I want to go too!" Kim Ji-won raised her hand.

"Add me in." Kim Woo Bin said, trying to hold back his laughter.

Jiang Jae-hoon looked helplessly at this group of colleagues who were gloating, and finally his eyes fell on Zheng Xiujing - she was pursing her lips and looking at him with a complicated expression.

"what happened?"

Zheng Xiujing stuffed the notebook back to him and turned away:
"Nothing... I just think it's... ridiculous."

"absurd?"

Jiang Jae-hoon asked back with a confused look on his face.

"Oh, you don't understand this?"

Kim Ji-won immediately joined in the fun and said:

"It's just that Bona doesn't like her Chanyoung oppa to dance on the pole in front of others. Even if he really wants to dance, it should only be for her~"

"Ah! Kim Ji-won!"

Krystal instantly got furious and rushed towards her with her fists raised.

Kim Ji-won ran around the set exaggeratedly, and didn't forget to turn around and wink at Kang Jae-hoon:

"Yin Canrong, please take care of your Bao Na!"

"..."

Jiang Zaixun watched the two girls chasing and playing, and reacted belatedly -

(Is Xiujing...jealous?)
This realization made his heart skip a beat. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to continue writing the biography, but he found that the tip of his pen had been hanging on the paper for a long time without moving.

"By the way, brother, when are you going to join this crew?"

Jiang Zaixun came back to his senses: "The director said it would be February next year."

"So there are still more than 60 days left?"

Park Hyung-sik counted on his fingers, then patted him on the shoulder:

"Come on, future pole dancing king!"

"..."

Jiang Jae-hoon silently buried his face in the notebook, refusing to face this cruel reality.
