Chapter 36
The first broadcast of the BDD station’s “In Spring Without Flowers” was aired.
At the same time, KSC Broadcasting Station’s “Hard Written Poems” also aired simultaneously.
[“In Spring Without Flowers” 1 episode highest ratings of 18.3% per minute, “A Hard Written Poem” ratings of 11%].
[New actor Kang Jinseok’s “Nakamura” overwhelmed “Utsushi” in “In Spring Without Flowers.]
Viewers’ interest in “A Hard-Written Poem” was also high.
However, due to the forced action and frowning sensational scenes shown in the first episode, “A Hardly Written Poem” was quickly shunned by viewers.
The difference between the two works was especially evident in the comments of viewers.
If it’s a coffee shop with a lot of cream, it’s a Byul Cafe without flowers.
Watch “In Spring Without Flowers” live and watch “Utsushi” rerun. The content is similar, but the class is different.
– Ushi frowned while watching
Q: First of all, the casting of “In Spring Without Flowers” seems crazy, especially Nakamura.
-Nakamura bad guy, really bad guy, –.
JN: Among the extras, is there an old man who eats rice soup deliciously? Get a solo shot Lol
Academics say you were hungry during the filming.
Some people experienced joy and others experienced despair in response to these viewer reactions.

Conference room of the BDD station.
The production team of “Spring Without Flowers” was in a festive mood.
“Let’s go!
“Nice!”
“Look at this article! “I heard KSC got 6 percent.”
“What? 6 percent? You must have turned on the documentary wrong!”
“Producer Na, you did a great job.”
“It is all thanks to the writer’s good writing. Please continue to take good care of us.”
There is still a long way to go, but with the current momentum, I was not confident of losing to the KSC station until the end of the show.
On the other hand, the KSC station was like a portrait house.
“Six percent…” X-Ball, PD Jang. What are you doing?”
Moon Jong-seo said angrily to PD Jang.
“Crime, I’m sorry…”
“Even if I just take a picture of a passing puppy and record the show, 8% would come out. You’re not good enough!”
“—.”
“I told you to double the commercial this time because it’s unusual.” I was told to watch the final version again. If it’s that much money, even if you play the documentary, you’ll get 6 percent!”
Moon Jong-seo pressed producer Jang.
“I did everything I was told, but how can I do this?”
When I first took charge of this work, I thought it was amazing.
But at some point, the atmosphere became strange, and in the end, a disastrous result of 18 to 6 came out.
That wasn’t the point.
“Hey, PD Jang. You said you were confident when you took over this job.”
“—.”
“That’s why I brought in KL Entertainment and Kwon Chaeyoon, what if you do it this way?”
For some reason, all the responsibility came to him now.
There were already rumors in the KSC station that producer Jang was the one who first suggested this work to KL Entertainment.
Maybe Moon Jong-seo, it’s a rumor spread by that guy. —‘
Rumor after rumor becomes true when it goes through many people.
Producer Jang couldn’t say anything even though he swore to himself.
Whoooooooooooooooo.
Then Moon’s cell phone rang.
“Yes, sir!”
A voice that suddenly became polite and bright.
A contrary voice came out of the cell phone.
[You bastard!] I told you not to do that!]
[You’ve been raving like this, do you really want to die?] What will you do with the money?]
[You should write a letter of apology first. [And I’ll be embarrassed and search, so you take care of everything]
[From now on, let’s see how it went from the planning stage and what you’re going to do and upload it. Got it?]
Moon Jong-seo swore at the stormy president only with the shape of his mouth and spoke in a sweet voice as if to soothe him.
“Mr. President, I was actually in a meeting with the person in charge. I wanted to leave as the boss said, but he kept asking me to leave. Oh, yes, yes. Of course. Yes, yes, yes. Okay. I’ll send it up now. Haha, of course.”
“—?”
Moon Jong-seo, who put down his cell phone as if the call was over, sighed. Then he drew a line as if it had nothing to do with him.
“Hey, producer Jang. Write your apology and go to the boss’s office in 30 minutes.”
“What?”
“Didn’t you hear? Write an apology letter and go upstairs. “From why you invited KL Entertainment to plan such a program that goes against the grain, everything will be done in the future!”
“Oh no. What is this?”
“Hey, what’s that?” You’re the responsible producer. Then you should be responsible!”
Producer Jang’s face was distorted by Moon Jong-seo’s words.

The production team was not the only one who was uncomfortable with the drama’s failure.
“Ha, ha, ha. It’s really annoying.”
Lee Homin drastically emptied his glass.
Seo Inhyuk, who was pouring alcohol next to him, looked at Lee Homin’s face and said.
“Brother, aren’t you drinking too much?” I’ve already had two bottles.
“I don’t care. The drama is ruined anyway. X shot.”
Lee Homin lost his role in “Spring Without Flowers” to Jinseok and appeared in “A Hard-Written Poem”.
The result is a crushing defeat.
Lee even played Kawasaki, a role similar to Jinseok’s Nakamura.
Naturally, viewers compared their acting, and Lee Homin was criticized for being a day behind.
I heard that the difference in their skills would determine the success or failure of the drama.
“I’m so tired of it.”
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became.
“Kang Jinseok, son of a bitch…”
It was because of his lack of skills, but Lee Homin blamed it all on Jinseok.
Seo Inhyuk’s eyes changed when Lee Homin mentioned Jinseok directly.
“Shall we talk about it now?”
Like Lee Homin, Seo Inhyuk hated Jinseok.
The reason was similar to Lee Homin’s.
Because I missed the president of Seoguk University because of Jinseok.
Although he was not deprived of his role like Lee Homin, Jinseok was the one who stole the most attention from Seo Inhyuk.
Since “Nakamura” was going well, Jinseok’s entrance into the university was also a hot topic on SNS, so Seo Inhyuk’s jealousy was now sky-high.
However, Seo Inhyuk could do nothing about Jinseok.
He was definitely a small character until the entrance ceremony…
Now, he has become an actor who attracts public attention to the point that he’s on the real-time search list.
Of course, Jinseok did not become a big actor just because he was on the real-time search list for a while.
But he’s actually way ahead of Seo Inhyuk.
His agency MAJOR 77 also said that Jinseok should be recruited.
I can’t leave it like this.
So Seo Inhyuk tried to get Lee Homin’s help.
To send a common enemy, Jinseok, to the abyss.
Seo Inhyuk filled Lee Homin’s glass and said.
“Brother, that Kang Jinseok thing.”
“— What. Are you teasing me too? He’s better than me?”
“No way. It’s not that, but I don’t like Kang Jinseok very much.
Lee Homin wondered and asked.
“Why is that? Do you know him?”
“I know everything~” I recently entered Seoguk University. But…”
Seo Inhyuk said that Jinseok has taken his senior position. He doesn’t even greet himself as a senior, and he’s a rude guy.
Then Lee Homin said with an expression that he didn’t like it.
“Ha! Did he do that to you too? He talked back to me at the audition. You’re such bad luck anyway.”
Lee Homin continued to talk with an annoyed face.
“I think he got the role through the PD’s connections, but maybe the boss got it through the professor’s connections, too. He’s a man who will stay.”
“Yes! I think so too. I know he’s good at it because he’s doing ‘Nakamura,’ but I don’t think he’s better than me.”
“That’s right! You and I have been rolling on the floor since we were kids, and does it make sense to be pushed back by a guy like that? He must have something.”
Enthusiasm for Jinseok began to fill the drinking party.
When the atmosphere was moderately ripe, Seo Inhyuk seduced Lee Homin in a low voice.
“Brother, I’ve been thinking about it.”
“What are you thinking about?”
“You can’t treat a senior well and act with personal connections. You can’t do well, right?
“Of course not.”
“So is there a way to undermine him?” I don’t want to look at him.”
Lee Homin nodded. Then, after thinking for a while, he smiled meanly and said.
“Hey, do you know what’s the biggest reason why male actors go to the abyss?”
“Are you a girl?
“That’s right too. But not that one.”
“Um, uh, gambling? Drugs?”
“No, idiot. Something more realistic than what the kids of your agency are doing.”
Seo Inhyuk was surprised by Lee Homin’s words. The place where they were now was Seo Inhyuk’s house, but that’s not something to say openly.
“Your tongue, brother. You’ll get into trouble if you say that.”
“That’s enough. What else is there besides women, gambling, and drugs?”
Seo Inhyuk said after thinking for a while.
“Um, uh, alcohol
“That’s right! It’s alcohol! And don’t you know what college students do the most?”
“—-Alcohol?”
“Now we’re talking a little.”
Lee Homin leaned on the table. Then he looked into Seo Inhyuk’s eyes and said.
“Since the drama is on the air now, the filming is probably over. Then he’ll come out of school, right? That’s right.”
“I guess so.”
“Yes. It’s the beginning of the semester. Then we’ll have a welcome party for freshmen, OT or MT, but let’s drink X there.”
“And?”
Lee Homin spoke with a more insidious voice than before.
“Then Kang Jinseok will make a mistake because he is drunk. Get into a fight or drive drunk.”
“Oh my.”
“When you see him acting like Nakamura, he’s not a nice guy by nature. How can a good guy act like that? I’m sure you’ll make a mistake.”
Seo Inhyuk nodded at Lee Homin’s words.
“So you’re saying… Make a mistake by drinking?”
“Yes, and take a picture of it and send it to me. I’ll send it to all the reporters I know.”
Although the movie went bankrupt, Lee Homin’s father is the president of KL Enter, a big agency.
With their connections, it would be easy to bury a new actor.
“Homin would be much better than me, right?”
Seo Inhyuk replied with a cheeky smile.
“All right, brother. I’ll try to drink a lot by pretending to be close or a fan.”
“Yes, sir. But you shouldn’t try to drink too openly. You should also drink in moderation. You know that, right?”
“Yes. I’ll take care of it.”
An image of Jinseok covering his face with a worried expression came to mind.
“Now! I think something’s going to work out. Right?”
“Yes, brother! That’s why I like Homin!”
After turning the happy circle for a moment, the two laughed and bumped into each other.

Meanwhile, Jinseok didn’t even know that there was such a plot against him.
A Gamjatang restaurant in Seongsu-dong ordered soju with a calm voice.
“Auntie, please give me another bottle of soju.”
Jinseok’s table was occupied by Mr. Kim and Park Chunsam.
Around the table, other people were watching Jinseok and the three of them drinking with excited expressions on their faces.
“Ugh, I’m sorry.”
“—.”
“Mr. Kim! I leave my back to you. –. Make sure you knock Jinseok down this time. –.”
At that time, the men shouted as the foreman fell on the table with his eyes open.
“Hey, class president, you died with your eyes open!”
“Hey, Mr. Kim. Don’t overdo it and pay for it! You can’t beat Jinseok with alcohol!”
“Park Chunsam, don’t change your glass for a class president.
To celebrate the success of the drama, Jinseok and the aunts went out for dinner and had a masterpiece drinking session after a long time.
With a drinking contest to add to the excitement.
“Before opening a new soju.”
Jinseok held up a beer glass full of soju.
“There’s one drink left.”
In response to Jinseok’s voice, which became calmer as he drank, Mr. Kim spoke with a twisted tongue.
“Ha, Hang Bo-ok.”
Then Park Chunsam rushed out after Mr. Kim.
The other men laughed and said.
“Why are you drinking at Jinseok?”
“It’s stupid. “When I see you always lose, but you’.
“Maybe I can’t remember because the film is cut off every time.”
Their chirping voices rang through the Gamjatang restaurant.
