Authentic and Trendy (4)
The drama started airing, and on the following Monday, KBC immediately aired a new historical drama.
It was a 60-episode historical drama, titled ‘Taejong’s circle’.
It is an authentic historical drama about Taejong and Yi Bang-won, and the total production cost was 90 billion won.
Jang Seung-won, Kim Sang-hee, and Jeong Seo-hoon all gathered together to watch the competition. The place was Kim Sang-hee’s bar.
Episode 1 paused for a while, and an advertisement appeared in the middle, and only then did Kim Sang-hee speak.
“It’s okay, PD.”
“Well, not bad.”
“Did you say a total of 90 billion?”
“Yes, I heard that.”
“Wow, you didn’t have money, but you did that to us, right? How easy it would be for us to look like that.”
“I’m not taking sides with this. Because we came by cable, the vice president was so angry that he ordered us to fight back.”
Kim Sang-hee snorted.
“Then, it should be aired at the same time slot, what do you say about cowardly avoiding the date and going to a Monday-Tuesday drama?”
“It must have been scary to go to the eating ceremony to cut my own weight. Did you pour 90 billion? They would have thought that they would have won if they aired while avoiding the date, but even if they just beat the viewership ratings.”
“Has the median viewership been counted?”
“Wait. Let’s see… 9.9% so far.”
“If you count it again after it’s over, you’ll get double digits, right? Well, that came out good.”
In today’s world where competition for channels has intensified, even a double-digit viewership rating for an episode was treated as a very respectable score.
However, KBC will have a slightly different idea.
“It’s no joke that KBC is proud to say that historical dramas are closed, but since the first viewer ratings were applied to us, this must have scratched the vice president’s pride?”
“Looking at the kid doing it, I don’t think we can win even once throughout the airing. Right, Seohun?”
When Kim Sang-hee looked back and asked, Jung Seo-hoon brought out the question he had been thinking about.
“It is said that the other side also airs twice a week, is there any problem with the schedule? Didn’t the production itself start later than us?”
“The plan is something that was drawn out of what was being organized, so it won’t be rushed. Still, how many photos would they have taken in three months?”
Kim Sang-hee also laughed.
“After a while, the script starts to come out, the schedule is messed up, the actors have dark circles around their eyes during the continuous all-night filming, the producers’ megaphone sound mixes with the sound of the PD’s megaphone while they are rushed editing and airing, and just imagining it gives me goosebumps.”
“The sound of PD’s megaphone is mixed. Wow, just imagining it is devastating. It’s a competition, but I hope that doesn’t happen, really.”
Jeong Seo-hoon asked curiously.
“Is that possible?”
“Once upon a time, while filming a side script for a drama, I couldn’t manage the audio properly in the last episode, so the producer giving on-site instructions with a megaphone was recorded and aired.”
“Then immersion…”
“I was blown away. I also ate curse words. I cursed a lot while watching.”
Jang Seung-won said with pride.
“And we have a studio in Paju. When it comes to video quality and plenty of filming schedules, Taejong’s circle can never beat us. You can’t even rub it?”
Before he knew it, Kim Sang-hee was searching for Taejong’s original viewer reaction.
“Isn’t the audience reaction worse than I thought? There are many good things to say about the future. Wow, what’s the temperature difference between the upper and lower climax?”
“You’re in a position to challenge differently from us, right? We are in a position to be challenged. Viewers will probably support Taejong’s circle more in words.”
“We hit 20% viewer ratings this week, so it’s a lot of fun, but there’s no such thing as rave reviews.”
“If Kim Sang-hee and Jung Seo-hoon are united, this is natural, it is because this perception has settled. Last year, we won the Rookie of the Year Award twice, the Cable Arts Awards, but we won the Grand Prize anyway.”
Even at the Baekryong Award, which boasts the highest authority, Jeong Seo-hoon won the Rookie Award + Best Supporting Actor Award.
Considering that Sujanggo swept the Baekryong Award, Jeong Seo-hoon wrote the best career history as a debut rookie that will no longer be broken.
“No one sees Seo Hoon as a rookie anymore. Unless you’re a huge fan, they don’t just give you praise. Are you a little sad?”
“well. Because I didn’t look for reactions to me on the internet.”
“That’s good. please do that in the future When I searched for the reaction, all I could see was malicious comments in the article.”
Jeong Seo-hoon understood Jang Seung-won’s words.

Now, he is not in the position of a cheered challenger, but as a champion who deserves that level of performance, he will be subjected to strict evaluations from the public.
Having an 18% viewership rating for episode 1, making a fuss about whether her mother went bankrupt is probably part of that.
My mother is like that, how cold-hearted must be the majority of the crowd who don’t even know her face.
“Even if it goes over the middle of 20%, it just becomes so obvious.”
“Yes. Going over 30% won’t make much of a difference. Because Illegal scored 29.9%.”
“Aren’t you burdened, PD-nim?”
“If that was a burden, I couldn’t produce it until now. I beat him up a long time ago.”
Before the second half of episode 1 started, a coffee ad was playing on the channel.
The concept of a bad guy and a lover who can’t get away from him was a commercial featuring Jeong Seo-hoon and Chae Ji-hyun.
Kim Sang-hee giggled and clapped the seals.
“Is this complete humiliation? Taejong’s Won episode 1 mid-advertisement CF for a leading actor in a competing film.”
“Puhahahaha, it seems the advertiser was aiming for this?”
PDs and writers who are accustomed to being judged have reached the point of enjoying themselves.
And the lead actors also had the mental durability that was as strong as they were, enough to pass this situation insignificantly.
‘Is a cold evaluation natural because it is a challenged position…’
Jeong Seo-hoon was not used to being evaluated.
Ever since I was in middle school, I always heard compliments from people around me, and that was a natural part of my daily life. Even after going to college and going to the army, nothing has changed.
So, rather, I lost the feeling of what it means to be praised. It’s awkward to be evaluated that much.
But Lieutenant Colonel Rashid is different.
A war hero who started his career as a commander and quickly rose to battalion commander through military exploits.
Although he is praised and respected by his subordinates and colleagues, he is accustomed to receiving harsh evaluations from above that are much harsher and heavier than that.
“Ah, Seo Hoon, but don’t be too burdened. Even if Seo Hoon is in a slight slump, he will be at the level of a great actor.”
“Ah, PD. What if I say that? Seo Hoon is a natural born person, so he probably doesn’t even know what a slump is. A genius should do this.”
“Writer. If you do that in front of me, you will be misunderstood with empty words.”
“You know that our muse is sincere, not empty words. Come to think of it, I suddenly want to see Muse in one heart. Do we, Han Seo-hee, have to wait another 9 months to be called here?”
Jeong Seo-hoon glared at Taejong, who was performing passionately on TV.
An objectively impeccable performance.
However, deficiencies here and there stand out mercilessly.
What will it look like in PD’s eyes?
“Peddy. How do you compare Taejong’s performance and my Daegun’s performance?”
“Well. honestly?”
“Yes. Please be honest.”
After emptying a glass of whiskey at once, Jang Seung-won grinned.
“Every time I check the camera, it’s not Daegun’s smoke, but Daegun itself is contained in it. It always has been.”
We put upright sincerity in the place of the thumb and raise it to the fullest.
“Sir Seo Hoon is the best.”
Despite receiving rave reviews, there is no sign of liking or feeling embarrassed at all. I don’t even see the feeling of getting wet with arrogance.
Jang Seung-won thought.
Wouldn’t that attitude of being taken for granted really qualify as a star actor…?
***
Episode 1 of Taejong’s Circle recorded the highest viewership rating of 11%.
In the second episode aired the next day, it recorded 12.5%.
The audience’s reaction was favorable.
-Unlike the lower drama, it’s nice to push forward vigorously from the beginning because it’s very cool.
– To be honest, I wondered if I had to put my childhood in such a long time.
– Taejong’s circle was eye-opening as he pushed himself with a sense of speed without mercy throughout episodes 1 and 2^^
-This is an authentic historical drama. I don’t know why Sejo is talking about a fantasy story that isn’t in the annals of leprosy. Can you live by making a Buddha statue out of pine trees from the royal altar and praying for it? I’m full of energy. What the hell are people watching?
– But how do you know the details so well without seeing?
When Taejong’s Circle is aired on Mondays and Tuesdays, Hageuksang is aired on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Historical drama core fans and Jeong Seo-hoon fandom have already been fighting each other on social media since Wednesday afternoon.
And it was 9 o’clock.
＜Abomination 3＞
-You must become a king. so i can live
The large army fell into a deep heart and struggled.
The next throne belongs to his own older brother, the crown prince.
It is a destiny determined by heaven, and cannot be changed by human power.
Such a mind itself goes against the sky, so it is reverse heaven.
-If I confide in Obama, he will only give me resentment.
The father and wise king does not believe in the fact that the disease can be cured through unwillingness.
If you have to cut down a young pine tree that has reached the rank of the official and make a statue of Buddha, you will be scolded for falling into a foolish path.
-It is unfilial in the world for Abamama and Mama to become distant again because of me. never wish…
Is this a heart born out of filial piety that truly cares about parents?
The Daegun tried hard to ignore the vague doubts he was asking himself.
-Should I rather tell the crown prince about my illness and ask for help?
Rather, this would be a more realistic concern.
The older brother, the crown prince, is as practical as his father, rejecting superstition and being practical, but he will cut down ‘a tree’ as much as he wants.
‘If my brother’s heart is at ease and shows signs of improvement with a single tree, what would I treasure?’
I’m sure you’ll give it away with a big smile.
However, the crown prince does not know his current condition.
I only know that it was completely recovered a long time ago.
‘The Crown Prince also supported me and worried about me because he didn’t know how terrible and disgusting leprosy was when he was young. But even now that I’m an adult, will you really think of me like that when I was a child?’
Will the crown prince still have the infinite brotherly love of his childhood?
‘Who can guarantee that if I reveal my leprosy now, I won’t be thrown out because it’s a flaw in the royal family?’
Didn’t even the great uncle, who was once a crown prince and then abdicated and handed over the throne to Obama, taught him to get rid of himself from the city when he was young?
There is one more problem.
‘Even if the crown prince wants to give the tree for me, it’s possible only after he becomes king.’
It is impossible to ask Obama, and the time to ask the crown prince cannot be guaranteed.
Will you be able to survive until then?
‘The nameless ambassador slowed the progression of my illness with three days of Buddhist prayer. I’d do anything if I could find that line again.’
Even Obama, who rejects superstition, assumes that the line has done something while the line is showing signs of improvement, and is using the power of adjustment to find it.
However, there is no way to find news even after searching all over the country for more than 10 years.
‘The crown prince must become king as soon as possible.’
‘However, if the king becomes aware of my illness, there is a possibility that I will be kicked out of the royal family.’
‘The way I live…’
The army repeated the thought like crazy.
Even so, on the outside, he showed behavior befitting the second prince, Daegun.
He showed the appearance of a younger brother who respects and deeply follows the crown prince, and showed a selfless attitude of not coveting the throne at all by keeping away from books and people.
-Daegam, it is said that the sudden heavy rain and strong wind hit the southern region, but the pastor handled it wisely and passed without major flood damage.
-It is said that there is a shaman with a gentle hand who predicted the exact time of day, month, day and time before a disaster struck and had a pastor deal with it. It is rumored to be very brave in that area.
– He is praised for looking out into the heavens from his seat and ignoring everything.
– How would you like to find out about the high priest’s actions from that shaman?
A prince who is not a crown prince must be allowed even to leave the city.
This is because of the risk of challenging the royal authority by forming a secret power in the province.
The great army bypassed the mother, obtained the king’s approval, and secretly descended into the southern provinces.
Dressed as an ordinary nobleman and accompanied by only two attendants, he asked the people and went to visit the shaman who was said to be brave.
Mudang Park said as soon as he saw Daegun.
-I received the karma my brother should have received instead.
-What is the karma that the older brother should receive?
– Confucius should know better what that is.
Suddenly, the words that the high monk left for the queen passed by my ears like lightning.
‘The deep and old resentment left by the omen dwells in the great army.’
-Originally, it was a job that Confucius’ older brother deserved…
– Was it?
– Confucius’ father changed the way his karma should go for his older brother. The wrong karma doesn’t disappear as it should, and it just flows to Confucius.
My fists clenched involuntarily.
Is it resentment toward his father and older brother, or is it hatred for his own foolishness of trying to be swayed by the words of a shaman with applause, even though he is brave?
– The karma accumulated with blood does not disappear so easily. Give the karma back to those who should have it. If that’s impossible… no, it’s hard for me to say more than that.
-Tell me. hurry!
– It’s against the heavenly spirit.
– Do you really want to die!
– I’m not dying. Confucius and Confucius’ wives and children all died.
– I must listen! Come on!
Daegun could not stand it and drew his sword.
There was no hesitation about murder in the eyes staring at Shaman Park.
Perhaps this was also the reaction he had anticipated, Shaman Park lets out a light sigh.
-Doesn’t Confucius already know? It’s a problem that will naturally be solved by taking the most precious thing.
-The most precious thing…?
– What is the most precious thing in this country? Which seat is the most dignified?
throne.
The moment he remembered the words he hadn’t been able to utter, Shaman Park suddenly stood up and prostrated himself.
Just as the people prostrate themselves on the ground so as not to dare to see their faces during the king’s procession.
-Creating the path of karma is also something that only the supreme of this country can do, Prince Mama.
There was no question of how he knew.
It only adds to the strange trust that the shaman who is said to be yong is right.
– Please take the seat of the supreme.
-Then can I live?
– If you want to live, you must become a king.
Mudang Park said what Daegun, who could not confide his worries to anyone, wanted to hear the most.
-Your Majesty’s secret technique to protect the crown prince is wrongly harming the prince. The prince’s wish to avoid that karma could be treachery against the will of the royal family.
Shaman Park Soo-dang still prostrated himself and spoke politely with his forehead on the ground.
– It can’t be reversed to struggle to live life.

Lee Jung-sook was caught up in the screen without being able to breathe properly.
On the screen, the son in the shape of a large army was looking down at Shaman Park with a twisted expression.
I feel it every time I watch a drama, but it seems like a different person to the point where I wonder if the real son I’ve raised for over 20 years is really the same.
Read at noblemtl.com
No, it’s a completely different person.
If I hadn’t known, I would have thought he was a separate person with the same face as my son.
The corners of the mouth, the tips of the eyebrows, and the open pupils.
I can’t believe it’s my son’s acting.
＜Continued to episode 4＞
After the drama ended, advertisements came out along with the OST.
However, Lee Jeong-suk still couldn’t get out of the past.
At that time, my husband’s calm muttering next to me mercilessly broke my immersion.
“Since it is a 120-inch OLED model that supports Dolby Vision IQ, Seo Hoon seems to be better at acting. good buy Right, honey?”
Taehyung Jeong turned off the TV, unaware of the fact that his immersion was forcibly broken.
He pointed out that the long, straight speaker at the bottom slides up and disappears.
“Honey, can you see the speaker going up? I have to set the speaker to automatically fold when I turn off the power, but strangely, it was unlocked. I think Soo-ryun touched this and that and then touched it.”
Lee Jung-suk gave her husband a cool blow on the back.
“There’s a trailer, so why turn it off? Won’t you turn it on sooner?”
