Chapter Forty-Nine: The Support Car

ly gives people a feeling of wanting to get close. His signature smile is very attractive to fans. 。...because of the style of the song "MAMA", during stage performances on music shows, Ji Kyeong-won...This little-known, under-the-radar television drama actually did a great job casting its supporting roles. It even features veteran actor Sung Dong-il, whom the director Shin Yuan-hao calls "hyung" (an honorific term for an older male).

He was born in 1969 and has been active as an actor until now. He has appeared in many TV series as a supporting actor, and is considered one of the famous gold supporting actors in the film and television industry.

He is a very familiar face to the audience and has a high social status. He can sometimes be a bit pompous in his usual demeanor.

There's also Yin Zhiyuan, the former captain of the idol group Crystal Boys, who can be considered a pioneer idol member. He is currently active in the entertainment industry and is a very well-known person.

Apart from that, there is also Lee Ho-won, who, like Ji Chang-wook, is an idol-turned-actor. His stage name is Hoya and he comes from the male idol group INFINITE, which has been quite popular recently.

Li Hao Yuan's popularity is reflected in the fact that they were able to stand in the front row at their previous Dream Concert.

As for the female lead, it is Jung Eun-ji of APK.

To be honest, when he first learned that the female lead was Jung Eun Ji, Ji Chang Wook was quite surprised. He even doubted if he had made the wrong choice for his debut television drama.

He only dreamt of fragments of the show, with no scenes featuring Jung Eon-ji. He didn't know who the female lead was.

Before, in his mind, Zheng Eun-ji was just an idol with average looks, short stature, a slightly plump figure, and a group that wasn't very popular or remarkable.

Pool Kyung-won's main memories of APink mainly revolve around their captain Park Chorong and Son Naeun. Jung Eunji, in his eyes, is just an embellishment.

I didn't expect her to become the female lead in this drama, paired with him of all people.

Does this look good together

This impression persisted until the TV series started filming and the production officially got underway.

Through observation and firsthand experience, I found that Jung Eun-ji is not as ordinary as he thought before. Although she doesn't have much experience in acting, her interpretation of the character Cheng Shiyuan still has its own set of ideas. I don't know if it counts as a natural performance, but the director has always been quite satisfied with her performance, and Ji Kyeong-won also thinks she acted well and is quite flavorful.

Although Jung Eun-ji's looks aren't particularly striking in Park Jeong-won's eyes, he does admit that when she smiles, she's really charming. She appears kind and sunny, her eyes crinkle at the corners like crescent moons, and she's very infectious. A bit like Park Jeong-won himself.

This smile largely concealed some flaws in his features, making him appear approachable.

I don't know if she knows this, so she smiles at everyone she meets.

Already familiar with Jung Eun-ji, Ji-hye's malicious speculations were churning in her heart.

The production team has been filming for about ten days now, and the premiere date is set for July 24th. It's a tvN drama airing on Tuesday nights, taking over the slot currently held by "I Love Lee Taeri".

The filming progress is going smoothly, although this is her first time participating in a television drama, Jung Eun-ji's performance hasn't held anyone back.

And similarly, for the first-time actor Ji Jingyuan, he showed a talent that astonished everyone involved. His acting is still a bit green, but he's progressing very quickly. The director needs him to express certain emotions, and he can do so very well. He often only needs one or two takes to find his shortcomings and nail the scene.

Besides his striking looks and charisma, many people on set have praised him as a "natural actor".

Hearing this name, Chi Jingyuan felt as if he had been cursed.

The last person he heard being given this title was Yoona... look at what her TV dramas have turned into.

Before the premiere, only three or four episodes worth of footage are needed for shooting and editing. The rest depends on the ratings and audience response after the broadcast to decide on the filming schedule and whether any changes need to be made to the script.

Most TV dramas on the Peninsula are produced using a "shoot-while-airing" model, and viewership ratings and audience comments have a significant impact on the success of a drama.

As for now, the shooting schedule is completely sufficient and the progress is very pleasing. It's easy to shoot enough footage before the first broadcast. Overall, besides this drama not having much fame and being underestimated by the outside world, everything else is going quite smoothly.

The film crew is now resting, everyone hiding in the shade. It's almost July, and the temperature is getting hotter every day.

The sweltering heat made many people restless and there wasn't much mood to chat. Everyone was sitting in their own places playing with their phones.

At that moment, a staff member waved his hand. Park Jae-hyun saw it and ran over. Two or three minutes later, he came back smiling and told Ji Kyung-won, "Kyung-won ah, there's another support vehicle."

"Here again Sunny, isn't that and Hyoeun's anger already sent over"

Ji Jingyuan stood up from the chair and walked out with Park Jae-hyun, asking in confusion:

After learning about his role as the male lead in a television drama, Sunny and Hyoyeon, two of his close senior members from Girls' Generation, specifically called to congratulate him. After the official start of filming, the two also sent support trucks each.

Cheer cars are a unique way to express support for an idol or friend, exclusive to the peninsula.

Besides these two sisters, Chi Jingyuan doesn't have many senior artist friends in the industry.

Originally, after EXO-K found out about the drama's filming, Kim Junmyeon suggested that they pool their money to send a car as support for Park Kyung-won. However, considering that EXO hadn't settled any accounts yet and they basically hadn't made any money, spending was mostly from their own pockets, he declined.

"

It was a gift from Yoona of Girls' Generation.

"

Park Jae-hyun answered, with a hint of curiosity, "Seungyeon and Yoona are very close, aren't they"

"It's alright, we've had dinner together, but we haven't interacted much." Ji Jingyuan shook his head and walked to the cheering car at the entrance of the film set.

A brightly decorated and eye-catching cheering cafe truck was parked there, with standees featuring Chi Jingyuan's posters on both sides, each with messages of encouragement and support written on them.

The illustration on the standee is Chi Kyeong-won's latest look. It shows him smiling with an inviting hand gesture.

To accommodate the filming of the television drama, he had his hair cut at the request of the crew.

The new haircut is a bit shorter than before, but not too short.

The main change is Liu Haier's hairstyle. During the 《MAMA》 period, his stylist dy designed a slightly messy fringe for him that covered his entire forehead and extended to his eyebrows. The sides also had some length.

Now her hair was cut short, only a few strands remained. However, she had trimmed many bangs and combed them to one side, revealing most of her forehead. Her temples were also shortened, completely exposing her jawline.

The screenwriter and designer said that the hairstyle with exposed forehead and jawline best highlights his facial features and temperament.

Chi Jingyuan thought it looked much more comfortable and was quite satisfied.

Most male idol groups currently tend to have medium-length hair that emphasizes visuals, similar to their style during the "MAMA" era. With his forehead-exposing short and messy hair, Ji Kyeong-won stands out as unique.

Seeing that Lim Yoon-ah had come over to cheer him on, Ji Kyeong-won apologized in his heart for what he had just thought about her.

"The coffee truck arrived, thanks to Yuri's support."

He took out his phone, first taking a selfie with the coffee cart, then sent a message to Lim Yoona.

In a moment, the reply came: "Of course, Jingyuan Fightg! When you're free, I'll go visit with Oni."

Actually, Park Ji-won and Lim Yoona aren't very close. They only met once at Sunny's birthday party, had a meal together, and chatted for a while. They also exchanged contact information at that time.

However, the other person's actions did make him feel very comfortable, like he was being supported and their relationship felt closer.
