People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

Chapter 79 premieres (Please subscribe!)

[Are you nervous about your new drama premiering?]

I will continue to follow your progress.

During a break in her practice room at Girls' Generation, Yoona took out her phone and sent a message of encouragement to her students.

Don't talk about her.

In the practice room, there were eight—no, seven people.

Most people are waiting for the premiere of "The Producers" on the KBS mobile app.

Aside from Kim Tae-yeon who genuinely cares, people like Tiffany and Soon-kyu are just joining in the fun.

After all, the rumors between Kim Chan and the paper-man captain seem to be developing in an uncontrollable direction.

At least for now, her relationship with her junior colleague, Byun Baekhyun, has ended.

Jin Can: [—Kamsanmida.]

Yoona frowned slightly as she looked at Kim Chan's reply.

I always felt that the students' replies were somewhat perfunctory and reluctant.

But she didn't think much of it and instead opened the KBS mobile app and went to the live stream page for the drama.

Because it was the premiere, even on mobile devices, there was no option to fast forward or rewind.

Im Yoon-ah, Kim Tae-yeon, and others patiently watched the opening credits of the drama series on the screen.

The opening theme is an upbeat song, "Jiji (Plop Plop)" — Bn.

The opening sequence begins to play slowly to a refreshing pop song.

Im Yoona immediately perked up!

Mainly, she is a very conscientious and ethical teacher, so at this moment her idea is very simple: to use her sharp, discerning eyes to find out where her student Jin Can's acting skills are lacking.

Help him fill in the gaps and make up for the deficiencies.

"Shh!"

"Keep your voices down," Kim Tae-yeon said, turning to Kim Hyo-yeon who was whispering.

The upbeat melody hadn't stopped.

But in the bright weather of the drama, Gong Hyo-jin's character, Tak Ye-jin, hurriedly parked her car in the KBS parking lot and touched up her makeup inside.

One moment of carelessness.

Jin Can plays Bai Chengcan, who drives a silver-gray imported car and parks it in a parking space on the side.

He hurriedly got out of the car, his tall figure dressed in a white-collar suit that could be seen everywhere on the street, with a white shirt underneath and a black and white polka dot tie. His expression was youthful but extremely handsome and exuded youthful vitality.

"Oh my."

Kim Tae-yeon's lips curled slightly as she watched.

It's a very ordinary, inexpensive suit, but on a younger woman, it looks incredibly elegant.

His height, which is 14.8cm taller than Xiaobian, makes the suit look sharp and his shoulders broad.

The series continues to air.

Park Ji-eun originally intended the mockumentary filming style to be closer to reality, allowing viewers to feel more immersed and personally experience the workplace atmosphere of KBS Variety Bureau.

But it is precisely because of this transition between long-range shots and close-up shots that...

Lee Soon-kyu exclaimed in surprise, "You're not wearing any makeup at all?"

For actors, appearing on screen without makeup is nothing unusual, especially in movies, where some scripts require actors to appear without makeup.

But the problem is, your skin looks so good even without makeup?

"Ah Ning Hasaiyo~ Are you a newly debuted star, right?" The documentary's cameraman filmed Kim Chan up close.

Baek Seung-chan glanced blankly at his camera, then shook his head as he jogged away, saying, "Ani."

"I am a new employee at KBS."

After he finished speaking, two lines of small text appeared on the left side of the screen, introducing the character: Baek Seung-chan – 22 years old –

KBS new entry-level position.

This is what makes Park Ji-eun so special.

Kim Chan's appearance is simply too outstanding, especially in South Korea, a country that values ​​looks.

People would subconsciously think that someone with such a face doesn't look like a behind-the-scenes staff member at all—so the script was slightly modified to better suit the lead actor.

Furthermore, the content of the drama leans towards comedy, and the early episodes tend to be rather bland.

Park Ji-eun and Pyo Min-soo used a close-up documentary style, employing Kim Chan's superior looks to create hooks and attract attention.

After Baek Seung-chan entered the KBS building...

While Zhuo Yizhen was touching up her makeup in the car, she rushed out and her car door slammed into the imported car next to Bai Chengcan's, leaving obvious scratches.

She panicked and tried to wipe it off with her skirt.

But they saw that the dashcam in the other car was on, and there was a film crew shooting a "new employee onboarding documentary" in the distance.

They filmed the whole scene.

Zhuo Yizhen had no choice but to pretend to look for the car owner's phone number, her mind a complete mess.

"Hahaha!"

Lee Soon-kyu and Hwang Mi-young were amused by the plot without any inhibitions.

Kim Tae-yeon chuckled softly twice.

After all, it was a script written by the renowned screenwriter Park Ji-eun, and they gradually became more engrossed in reading it, huddling together to watch the plot unfold with curiosity.

But Lin Yoona is standing to the side.

He held his phone in one hand and squeezed next to Kim Tae-yeon with the other, watching her live drama series.

Every now and then, when Jin Can's character, Bai Chengcan, enters the frame, Lin Run'e leans down to edit some information for Jin Can, pointing out his shortcomings in acting.

[Screenshot: Baek Seung-chan stands helplessly in his office]

"Chan, over here! Your shoulders are too tight, like you're carrying an invisible backpack. Baek Seung-chan is nervous, but this isn't military training! Try letting one shoulder sag a little, it'll look more natural—you're too tall."

Kim Tae-yeon looked at her suspiciously: "What are you doing, Yoona?"

"Grading papers." Lin Yoona was busy and didn't have time to pay attention to this paper-thin captain. Her picky doe eyes scrutinized student Kim Chan's acting skills.

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at the long message she sent to Kim Chan, a long essay filled with screenshots and criticisms.

She wrinkled her nose: "He acted very well, what are you nitpicking about?"

"Ani".

"I'm not nitpicking—" Yoona shrugged helplessly, realizing that this unnie didn't understand her good intentions.

You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you.

In terms of acting skills, she admits that she is not on the same level as Kim Tae-yeon.

The first episode of "The Producers" is already halfway through.

:

:

But Baekhyun's fans, seeing their idol looking so pathetic on his way home from get off work tonight, became even more determined.

They kept arguing and criticizing the show on various forums.

[JYP's royal family has arrived! Was the casting for "The Producers" done blindfolded? Casting Baek Seung-chan was a complete disaster!]

[I have a feeling this show will be ruined because of him. All the hard work of the other actors will be dragged down. What bad luck.]

[I heard that Kim Soo-hyun was originally slated to star in this drama—but the role ended up in the hands of this "royal family" member. He really is terrifyingly powerful. The other actors are so pitiful, having to rely on such a nepotistic actor!]

[Qinjia! He stole our Soo-hyun oppa's resources?]

[——]

Inside the Mango No. 6 coffee shop.

Aside from the trio of Yoo Si-jin, Cha Ye-eun, and Kang Ah-joo who are passionately arguing with anti-fans online.

On a booth in the corner.

Park Hye-na, a die-hard fan of Byun Baek-hyun, was angrily cutting up her tiramisu with a small fork while looking down.

"It's actually quite good—" My friend Lee Yoon-sook was staring intently at the TV on the wall, her eyes glued to the screen displaying "The Producers."

TV series.

Park Hye-na retorted, "What's the use of just being pretty?"

"Ugh." Lee Yoon-sook glared at her speechlessly. "The plot is pretty good too."

"Don't believe me? Take a look!"

She gestured towards the television.

"I'm not watching." Park Hye-na shook her head firmly, the sounds of the dialogue and the chatter of nearby customers making her feel irritable.

She wouldn't betray Baekhyun oppa like that old lady Kim Tae-yeon!

"His acting skills are definitely no match for Baekhyun oppa—"

"—" Li Yunshu was speechless when she heard this.

Ignore her now. What are you bragging about your acting skills for?

While drinking milk tea, Park Hye-na kept browsing various topics related to "The Producers," criticizing and smearing the show.

[Just listening to the lines makes me want to vomit—]

The way to gain emotional value from the existence of anti is very simple.

Either the person you're opposing gets angry and breaks down, or you gain agreement from other people's opinions.

Park Hye-na stared at the little red dots popping up in the information bar, all of which were likes and agreement.

This gave her a clear sense of accomplishment and was also a reflection of the value of fighting for Byun Baekhyun.

But in the coffee shop.

Many of the passing guests were intently watching the wall-mounted TV.

As the plot of the first episode of "The Producers" unfolds, the story becomes intertwined.

The newlyweds were interviewed at the induction ceremony.

When asked, "Why did you want to come to the entertainment bureau?" Baek Seung-chan replied...

Baek Seung-chan honestly replied, "There's a senior from my university club who's a PD here, and I want to get closer to her."

The reporter countered, "If your senior is an accountant, would you also take the accounting exam?"

Jin Can, who plays Bai Chengcan, was instantly stunned by the question. His youthful and handsome face turned into a cute and helpless expression in the blink of an eye.

Wow!

The guest sitting behind Park Hye-na looked like a white-collar worker in her twenties.

Wearing a bodycon skirt, she gazed at Baek Seung-chan's adorable face with surprise and delight. "Wow! What a contrast!"

"Where's the contrast?" Park Hye-na couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

But these words were overheard by the guests in the back row.

She put down her coffee: "Why don't you open your eyes and take a look? Baekhyun's acting skills aren't much better, are they?"

'

Kim Sun-hee considers herself a very neutral bystander.

She had heard the little girl in the front booth complaining earlier, but ignored it.

Byun Baekhyun's first acting role was in the 12 drama "To the Beautiful You," in which he made a cameo appearance.

But a month ago, the web drama "My Neighbor is EXO", starring Byun Baekhyun, premiered last month.

The opinions on the main actors, not just her, but also on the entire Korean online community, are quite consistent.

D.0. The performance was relatively natural, Park Chanyeol overacted, and Byun Baekhyun, as an idol, actually did a pretty good job.

However, the character's facial expressions are overly controlled, emotions are not expressed outwardly enough, dialogue is weak, tone is monotonous, and emotional layers are insufficient, relying too much on a cute and mischievous persona.

"If you're not afraid of comparisons, then open your eyes and look at the world," Kim Sun-hee said with a wry smile.

Being a celebrity is essentially about competition, so comparisons are inevitable.

As an outsider, putting aside online opinions, based on acting skills, she concluded that Kim Chan > Byun Baekhyun.

Park Hye-na turned around and glanced at the beautiful older sister behind her.

She's a typical sophisticated Korean woman from Gangnam District; her attire and makeup exude a subtle meanness.

"Where is the contrast?"

She was not convinced.

But her friend Lee Yoon-sook quickly smiled apologetically at the stranger behind her, then turned to her friend and said, "Hey! The TV is right in front of you, what's wrong with turning your head to look?"

Park Hye-na wanted to say something more, but she turned to the side and looked at the TV with a critical eye.

In the TV series.

In the control room, Baek Seung-chan immediately recognized his crush, Shin Hae-joo, but the next second he saw her interacting intimately with PD Na Joon-mo (Cha Tae-hyun) – the two were dating.

I ran into my senior in the afternoon, but she only nodded politely and didn't remember who I was at all.

Bai Chengcan was heartbroken and hid in the bathroom to grieve.

While in the restroom, he ran into Luo Junmo. Bai Chengcan deliberately retaliated by vigorously shaking the water while washing his hands and turning the dryer on full blast, making it impossible for Luo Junmo to make a phone call, and secretly venting his anger.

The screenwriter quickly unfolded a love triangle involving several people in the clip—

"Haha~" Lee Yoon-sook chuckled softly, amused by the plot.

Park Hye-na was a little stunned, looking at Baek Seung-chan's youthful, handsome, and slightly sad expression.

Is this still the "God" I know?

That international gesture led almost the entire nation to believe that this member of the royal family was an arrogant and conceited bastard, but this contrast in the drama is actually quite charming.

"The acting was just so-so," Park Hye-na muttered stubbornly.

But they kept their eyes glued to the plot.

Damn it, you royal family member, are you even going to steal our Baekhyun oppa's cute and innocent persona?

The premiere of "The Producers" has ended.

Jin Can sat at home and turned off the TV; it was his film and television debut.

He was quite concerned about it.

Jin Can picked up the silent phone.

He first checked the online reviews and reputation, and found that the antis were still slandering and hurling insults; prejudice in people's hearts is a huge mountain.

However, many netizens and passersby gave fairly objective reviews, though they did not make up a large percentage.

After all, the premiere just ended, and the ripples will likely start tomorrow.

Then.

Jin Can opened KakaoTalk and glanced at the messages from his friends and family. The four little fans gave him unanimous praise.

[Wow! Oppa's acting was amazing!]

[Famous acting skills! ]

[I get so angry seeing all those online comments saying he's the next Yoona!]

Kim Chan replied with a smile, then glanced at the compliments from JYP's friends and Bae Suzy.

[Wow~ A performance worthy of a Qinglong Film Emperor~ No wonder he's the guy who lent me good luck.]

[Your acting is better than Ji Eun's. When can we collaborate on a project? - Actor Kim.]

[A tiring day! Just when my energy was about to run out, I saw Chan-sang on TV and my energy returned!]

[Well done, Chan-san!]

Want to play games? Chan-san~

The character you played doesn't resemble you at all!

There's too much news.

JYP's Taeyang has such incredible connections; from Nichkhun and Jo Kwon to the trainees, everyone is supporting and congratulating him.

Jin Can replied to each one.

[Chan, don't listen to Yoona's comments, your acting was really amazing!]

This is news about Kim Tae-yeon.

Jin Can looked on with some confusion—

He scrolled down the chat bar and saw Yoona's profile picture and a long message from her.

Wow, that's so long!

The comments and TV screenshots left Jin Can somewhat bewildered and confused.

[(Screenshot) Chanyeol, your eye acting is still great, but your eyes are too bright, it feels a bit off.]

[(Screenshot) When Bai Chengcan, new to the workplace, faces his boss, his lines should be somewhat timid and hesitant; you're too relaxed.]

[——]

Provided with well-reasoned screenshots and text descriptions.

Jin Can seems a bit insecure now. Could it be that this woman has really improved recently?

He recalled his performance in the opening scene of the episode, and thought he should have acted well.

Even if he's not a great actor, he's at least talented.

Jin Can, with some skepticism, tried it out following Lin Yoona's instructions.

Immediately afterwards—

The voice of the side effects panel suddenly rang out in my mind.

[Under the guidance of the psychic, your acting skills score is 1]

The golden light had a reddish tinge.

You—you even taught me how to use my eyes?

"—" Kim Chan suppressed his speechless feelings and replied to Im Yoona with a "Kamsammida".

Yoona's mentality is typical of someone who is under constant pressure and is frequently criticized for her acting skills, making her desperately want to gain recognition from others.

However, Jin Can was just such an unlucky guy.

So much so that she frantically clung to Jin Can to make up for her missing sense of accomplishment. After all, Jin Can was such a nice guy, and she flattered him like a straight man, making him feel incredibly flattered.

Im Yoona quickly sent a summary:

[Overall, Chanyeol was really great! Completely exceeded my expectations!]

[It's clear you're thinking through every scene, not just reciting. Your biggest strength is your clean acting, without any unnecessary or artificial flourishes.]

[Keep scrutinizing these details, and you'll shock everyone! By the way—during the cafeteria scene, how did he manage to make his cheeks puff out? It looks so natural! (laughs so hard I cry)]

Ha ha.

Jin Can stared at her praise with a forced smile:

[Nurhaci taught well.]

You've made Lin Yoona look amazing!

I said it! Even Huizi couldn't stop me!

.

The next day, July 16th.

Jin Can arrived at the set of "The Producers," and the ratings for the first episode of the series came out.
