o the Wu Saik incident and knew Park Kyung-won's combat ability. They didn't want to let Bian Bo-hyun go up there to die.Furthermore, the team immediately retreated after a single statement. Even the..."Tomorrow the crew will wrap up filming, won't Jingyuan cut off contact with Nana after that"
While resting, Park Shin Hye sat beside Ji Sung, smiling and looking at him playfully, while teasingly saying...
Today is December 4th, more than ten days have passed since the MAMA Awards ceremony on November 22nd, and after returning to the set on the 23rd, Park Ji-hun has resumed his previous busy but happy acting life.
Today is the ninth week of broadcast, and episodes 17 and 18 will be aired tomorrow.
As for viewership, it has climbed to 27% since last week. This is a figure that would surprise any television station, bringing in a flood of advertising revenue and copyright fees.
>If the viewership trend doesn't change too much, this week's two episodes should have a chance to break into the top 30. And after another week, the final two episodes will definitely reach another peak.
>
This is also one of the biggest strengths of this drama, its viewership ratings haven't overwhelmingly surpassed those of the two hit dramas that SBS aired before it, "Heard It Through the Grapevine" and "The Master's Sun," but its discussion rate, especially its popularity and heat in many other countries, far surpasses the previous two. In Xia Guo and Southeast Asia, the popularity and heat of "The Heirs" during this period is simply unmatched.
Chi Jingyuan knew his schedule in Xia Guo and Southeast Asia was almost full, the pay there was much higher than on the peninsula. The company had been eagerly awaiting the wrap of the filming crew, and after wrapping tomorrow, he would head there immediately to start his activities.
All other TV dramas of the same period, including , were completely overshadowed by The Heirs and did not make a splash.
On the same day, MBC's television drama "Medical Team," starring excellent actors like Kwon Sang-woo, Joo Ji-hoon, and Jung Ryeo-won, had its highest viewership rating of 7.3% at its premiere. However, by last week, it plummeted to a dismal 5.1%, which is truly disheartening.
And the KBS Waterwood drama that aired on November 20th, starring Jang Eon-seok and IU Lee Ji-eun, "The Beautiful Man," was also one of Park Seo-joon's competitors from the same period.
Both Jang Geun-seok and IU have experienced some ups and downs in their careers, with negative events affecting them to a certain extent. This drama is therefore presented with the ambition of both actors and a desire to connect with the audience.
It's a pity that it remains at its highest viewership of 6.3% during its premiere, but after that, it has been steadily declining with an unstoppable trend. Now entering the third week of broadcast, it has dropped to nearly 3%.
It's important that the online reviews of this drama are overwhelmingly negative, both lead actors have been subjected to a lot of harsh criticism from viewers, expressing dissatisfaction with their performances.
Given this trend, it's not impossible for "Handsome Guys" to drop to 2% or even 1%.
This is not good news for IU, whose career is just getting back on track....
... because the actors worked well together, several main actors had guaranteed acting skills, and because of the high ratings and soaring popularity, everyone was in a very good mood. All these reasons added to make filming very smooth this time, with progress exceeding expectations. It's a pleasant surprise. The director announced the wrap-up date for the crew on the day before yesterday, set at November 5th.
Actually, the last two days of filming were very relaxed. The breaks were much longer, and the actors who had already gotten to know each other well on set often gathered together to chat and joke around, which helped them get closer and strengthen their relationships. After wrapping up filming, they also managed to keep in touch with each other and build lasting connections.
"We're the infamous on-screen sibling romance that everyone's been talking about. Could Nuna bear to cut off contact after filming wrapped"
After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan tilted his head, his voice a little low and his face full of sadness.
"Haha…"
Pak Shin-hye couldn't help but burst into laughter, covering her mouth lightly. She patted him gently: "The outside world says that, but you know the real situation... However, if Jingyuan doesn't mind a sibling relationship, Nunna certainly wouldn't mind either."
"What's up"
Ji Jingyuan looked expectantly at the other party, and Park Shin-hye did not back down. She met his gaze, but after a few seconds, they both laughed together.
"Come on, Jingyuan. I already know what kind of person you are, and Xiu-Jing has made it pretty clear too. With us being this close now, I definitely can't steal her away... By the way, where's Xiu-Jing Why isn't she with you today"
Park Shin Hye shook her head, her round face contorting with animation as she spoke. Finally, she turned her gaze back and forth, noticing that Jung So-jung was just sitting in her place staring at her phone. Unlike usual, she hadn't run over to Ji Chang Wook's side the moment they had a break.
"That's a pity..."
Ji Jingyuan shrugged and cracked a joke, then glanced in the direction of Jung Soo-jung: “Who knows, maybe something happened.”
He didn't deny that their relationship was unusual. After all, the people on set weren't fools. Park Shin Hye was a very familiar friend and also someone in the same industry. They wouldn't leak information to the outside world.
"What are you so happy about"
At this time, Kim Woo Bin also walked over and pulled a chair to sit down familiarly. After a while, seeing this, Kim Ji Won also came over. The main actors of "The Heirs" were all gathered here now.
This TV show has a lot of actors, but they really became close friends during filming.
...while Park Shin-hye, Kim Woo-bin and these main actors along with other idol actors like Kang Min-hyuk to this day have only smiled and greeted each other, there's a clear boundary between them. They haven't made too much contact.
Even Jung Seo-yeon was like that. Among the main cast, only Park Shin-hye and she seemed to care for each other quite well. The interactions with the others were just okay, and if it wasn't for Ji Sung-won's relationship, they probably would have treated Jung Seo-yeon the same way they treated other idol actors—keeping a distance.
This is the current state of the hierarchy in the Korean entertainment industry. The levels between actors are very clear, and professional actors don't look highly upon those who have transitioned from idols to actors.
It's not just that their acting and dialogue aren't up to par, this is actually a minor issue.
More importantly, the film and television industry is already fiercely competitive. It's even more off-putting that idols from the music industry want to join in.
So for most idols, the path to becoming an actor is really difficult. Besides the inherent difficulty in landing good roles and honing acting skills, various external factors also play a significant role.
While Chi Jingyuan was an exception. Because he was the male lead and had replaced Lee Min Ho, exposing the connections and network behind him, he became the center of attention as soon as he joined the crew. Both actors and creators were very enthusiastic about him, and those unspoken rules didn't apply to him.
But Chi Jingyuan is quite familiar with these situations as well.
"After the wrap party, will we still keep in touch Let's see when we can get together again sometime."
Puxin Hui smiled and waved to the two people, then started chatting.
Of course not.
“I’m fine with the gathering, as long as there are no announcements, I can be there anytime.”
"Me too, I'm just worried Jingyuan might be too busy to come."
"Even if I'm busy, will Big Universe be busier than me I heard that he has already received invitations for next year"
"Well, is it appropriate for me to be addressed this way by the hottest male lead right now"
“…………”

Because of the improved ratings and a lighter workload recently, the atmosphere on set has become very harmonious. Everyone is smiling and getting along well, even when there's an NG (mistake), the director won't scold as harshly as before, just laughing and asking the actors to try again.
It seems like everyone is enjoying the last moments on set.
There are not many scenes left, and I have a lot of free time even during filming. We also finish work earlier every day now.
After the crew announced wrap, everyone said their goodbyes. After everyone else had finished greeting each other, Ji Kyung-won followed Park Bo-gum and headed to the parking lot to get in his car and go home.
He hadn't taken two steps when he felt a gaze lingering on his back. As a name popped into his mind, he turned his head, and sure enough, it was exactly as he had expected.
