Chapter 293
Chapter 293
One hour before the first episode of Spring Has Returned aired.
Seo-jun and the others arrived at the restaurant to watch the first broadcast together. He tilted his head as he looked at the place.
Da Ho hyung. Is this it?
Yeah.
It looks familiar
Seo-jun scratched his cheek as he recognized the entrance of the old-looking store.
He opened the door and went inside.
Ding, a bell rang and the staff and actors who were already seated looked at the entrance.
They cheered up when they saw Seo-jun. He smiled and greeted them as he heard their voices.
Seo-jun is here! Bo Ram is already here too!
Hello, writer.
Seo-jun smiled at Yu Cheong Ah, the writer who seemed excited as her first work was about to be broadcasted nationwide in an hour.
Writer, did you ask So Eun Jin writer about this place?
How did you know? She said the TV is big and the food is good, so I came here.
I came here when My Doctor aired for the first time.
The staff and actors who were eating and drinking while listening to Seo-juns words widened their eyes.
This is where the legend began
The 40% ratings
The old-fashioned interior seemed more elegant somehow.
The assistant directors Kim Dan Bi and Choi Hyun Woo touched the wall and prayed.
Please let us have a hit too!
Please give us high ratings!
Everyone laughed at their antics. The door opened and Park Do Hoon and his manager came in. Seo-jun greeted Park Do Hoon with a smile.
Do Hoon hyung, youre here?
You were already here?
I just got here too.
Then, Kang Tae Young and Yoon Hye In followed them.
The two actors exchanged greetings with everyone and sat down at the table where Seo-jun, Jo Bo Ram, and Park Do Hoon were sitting.
The lighting director looked around and said with a smile.
Director Gong is at the broadcasting station. Everyone who should be here is here, so our writer who is debuting today should say something, right?
Hmm. Should I?
Yu Cheong Ah, who would normally decline, seemed to be in a good mood today as she stood up right away.
She held a beer glass and looked around.
The grateful actors and staff looked at Yu Cheong Ah.
Debuting writer, debuting director, you must have had a hard time, right? We couldnt have filmed so smoothly without you guys. Thank you so much. Director Gong must feel the same way too. You all worked hard since February until now. And please keep up the good work until the end of filming! Spring Dolls, fighting!
Spring Dolls, fighting!!
Clamor.
The people who didnt worry about ratings at all laughed and chatted happily.
Spring Dolls! Its starting!
Everyones eyes turned to the TV at Choi Hyun Woos words. The long and tedious commercials ended and the opening screen and OST that Director Gong worked hard on came out.
***
Time passed and Spring Has Returned ended with a scene of Kang Tae Young and Yoon Hye In smiling and greeting each other. The people who were watching the drama looked at one place.
Ratings!
It must be over 10%, right?!
Its 10% tomorrow, it must be over that!
Yu Cheong Ah, who was on the phone with Director Gong, switched to speaker mode.
-!!!
Cheers erupted from across the phone.
It was so loud that Director Gongs words couldnt be heard properly.
The assistant directors Kim Dan Bi and Choi Hyun Woo heard the voices of the drama department head and CPs among them.
MBS drama department seemed to be in a festive mood already.
The staff and actors who kept their mouths shut looked for Director Gongs voice among them.
-Writer! 21! 21%!
Wow!
21% for the first episode!
They cheered louder than expected at the high ratings.
Seo-jun and Jo Bo Ram, who were going to go home after hearing the ratings, also smiled brightly.

[Spring Has Returned first episode ratings hit!]
[Overwhelmingly number one in its time slot with 21%!]
[Crazy ratings! This is Lee Seo-juns effect!]
[Full version of preview released from episode one! A smile beyond imagination!]
[Full version of Yellow Umbrella uploaded on YouTube! Exploding views!]-They all acted so well that I was annoyed.
=I was waiting for Team Leader Lee Hyun Sung to appear. Former team leader, youre too good at acting.
=Yoon Hye In too. She looked like a worn-out office worker.
-But theres no such handsome team leader in reality.
=222 The reality of working on weekends as an advertising planner is amazing.
=I feel like the two above comments are not laughing.
-I thought the umbrella scene would come out in the last episode, so I was going to binge watch it, but it came out in the first episode?
=I know, right? I was going to binge watch it since its only one episode per week I guess Ill just follow the live broadcast.
-I really screamed in reality when Seo-jun appeared.
=22 I was watching it in my room and my parents ran over.
=333 Me too.
-I couldnt even scream.
=22 I just stared blankly.
-We might have different reactions, but were probably watching the clip video over and over again.
=How did you know?
-Ratings. Theyre really amazing.
=MBS must be having a party.
Spring Has Returned was a hot topic all week long.
The clip video of the scene behind the yellow umbrella was uploaded and the main page of [From Sprout] changed.
The views of the clip video increased tremendously.
-But didnt they say they were looking for their first love? Its too obvious that its Lee Hyun Sung.
=22 When I see Yoo Sung Jin, I feel like hes Lee Hyun Sung. Its amazing.
=The cafeteria scene too. It felt like Yoo Sung Jin grew up and became Lee Hyun Sung.
=Its better because their first meeting was similar.
-Then is Kang Tae Young the sub-male lead?
=Maybe? When and are together, wins, right?
=What does that mean?
=Oh generation gap.
=Usually, the male lead is rude. Cold city man, only warm to my woman, something like that?
=And the sub always smiles and then fades away with a sad smile.
-I get sub-syndrome because of that.
=222 I dont understand. Why do you like rude male leads?
=Because theyre male leads?
=Thats why Spring Dolls is Lee Hyun Sung too.
=Then its not about finding their first love?
=Well have to see the next episode.
=Why is it only one episode per week!
And on Tuesday.
The second episode of Spring Has Returned aired.
Kim Seo Yeons work seemed to be going smoothly.
She thought everything would be fine as long as the model came and filmed.
Her phone rang.
It was a call from the model agency.
She pressed her forehead as she talked.
A car accident!
Ah
She felt dizzy.
All her hard work was gone. She couldnt think straight.
Her ears were ringing and she couldnt move.
Nothing went right.
Why did these things happen to her?
She thought her life would be easier when she switched from the former team leader to Lee Hyun Sung, but now she felt like everything was falling apart with this incident.
Choi Yoo Won, the director who was looking around the set, spotted Kim Seo Yeon with a pale face.
Kim assistant! Assistant! Seo Yeon!
Kim Seo Yeon came to her senses at Choi Yoo Wons voice.
Whats wrong?
The model got into a car accident What should we do?
She couldnt think of anything.
She didnt even know why she was acting like this.
She was just overwhelmed. It was hard.
Choi Yoo Won noticed Kim Seo Yeons panic and spoke.
His voice was calm and gentle.
Seo Yeon, you have backup models, right?
Yes at the company
Lets call one of them who has time.
Kim Seo Yeon nodded slowly at Choi Yoo Wons words.
She contacted her junior and waited for the documents.
She saw someone she didnt expect to see here.
She saw Lee Hyun Sung at the end of the hallway and remembered Yoo Sung Jin standing at the end of the school hallway.
Kim Seo Yeon at eighteen smiled brightly at him unlike now.
Sung Jin! The art room is this way.
Okay.
Yoo Sung Jin seemed to smile slightly as he looked at Kim Seo Yeon.
Here you go.
She heard a deep voice and snapped out of it.
She took the paper from Lee Hyun Sung.
What are you doing here, team leader?
Im the only one who had time. I called them on my way here. Lets start filming as soon as they contact us.
Lee Hyun Sungs phone rang as he spoke.
He winked at Kim Seo Yeon and answered the phone. Kim Seo Yeon sighed in relief.
**
Lee Hyun Sung left and the filming continued.
She felt relieved as the filming went smoothly.
She felt exhausted as she sat on a chair.
She thought she had been pushed to the limit.
I could have thought of it if I tried a little
Choi Yoo Won, who saw Kim Seo Yeon looking troubled during the break, walked over to her.
Seo Yeon, are you okay?
Kim Seo Yeon lifted her head at his voice. She saw Choi Yoo Won under the light. She widened her eyes.
Are you okay?
She remembered Yoo Sung Jins worried eyes.
Kim Seo Yeon at eighteen smiled at him.
Its okay. I just didnt sleep well because I was studying yesterday.
You still have some time before the exam, but youll collapse if you push yourself too hard.
I know. I should go to bed early today.
Just sleep now. Ill wake you up when the teacher comes.
Kim Seo Yeon chuckled as she rolled her eyes for a moment.
Should I do that?
She lay down on her desk.
She was adjusting her posture comfortably and breathing slowly when she felt Yoo Sung Jins gaze on her.
Her nape felt hot.
She felt embarrassed for some reason and moved her feet slightly before stopping.
She seemed to fall asleep like that.
And here.
Another man who reminded her of Yoo Sung Jin, Choi Yoo Won.
***
After the second episode of Spring Has Returned ended, the viewers reactions exploded and the internet was filled with comments full of question marks.
MBS was celebrating as the drama became a hot topic every time it aired.
-?? What is this? Why does Yoo Sung Jin suddenly look like Choi Yoo Won junior?
=22 Yoo Sung Jins smile is exactly like Choi Yoo Wons, right?
=333 So its not just me who felt that?
-Wow Wait a minute. Who is the male lead then? Lee Hyun Sung? Choi Yoo Won?
=It was obvious that it was Lee Hyun Sung until last week But this changes everything.
=222 This changes everything. Now I see why they said they were looking for their first love.
-I think its amazing that episode 1 had Lee Hyun Sung vibe, episode 2 had Choi Yoo Won vibe. If you cut out only the past parts, theres no discomfort in Yoo Sung Jins appearance. Yoo Sung Jin+a kind of vibe?
=That a is too amazing. How can he look like both Lee Hyun Sung and Choi Yoo Won?
=As expected of Lee Seo-jun
=Hes scary now

<In the past two weeks, MBS special drama Spring Has Returned aired episodes 3 and 4. The six-episode drama Spring Dolls is already nearing its end. But as Spring Has Returned aired more episodes, the viewers minds became more complicated.
In episodes 3 and 4, Team 3 of the planning department got a TV commercial project from a large corporation and prepared for filming.
The director was Choi Yoo Won.
Team 3 and Director Choi Yoo Won had several meetings and revised their plans to meet the demanding requirements of the corporation.
In the process, both Team Leader Lee Hyun Sung and Director Choi Yoo Won showed their interest in Kim Seo Yeon.
Kim Seo Yeon, the female protagonist, saw her first love, Yoo Sung Jin, in both men.
Lee Hyun Sung, who liked spicy pork stir-fry.
Choi Yoo Won, who handed her a peach drink.
Lee Hyun Sung, who read the documents seriously.
Choi Yoo Won, who laughed at Kim Seo Yeons jokes.
Lee Hyun Sung, who smiled behind his stern expression.
Choi Yoo Won, who smiled warmly whenever he saw Kim Seo Yeon.
Why do I think of Sung Jin when I see both of them?
The viewers of Spring Has Returned agreed with Kim Seo Yeons line in the drama and had different opinions on the internet.
(Omitted)
On Monday next week, a special broadcast with behind-the-scenes footage of Spring Has Returned will air.>
-Lee Hyun Sung ten spoons, Choi Yoo Won ten spoons. Mix them well with a young vibe and voila, Yoo Sung Jin!
=Thats exactly how it feels.
=Or maybe Lee Hyun Sung when serious, Choi Yoo Won when smiling.
=Its amazing how the vibe changes like that.
=Two adult roles for one child role? I didnt understand why but now I dont understand. Hes so good at it.
-So who is the male lead? Lee Hyun Sung? Choi Yoo Won?
=Its obviously Lee Hyun Sung. Lee Hyun Sung!
=Its obviously Choi Yoo Won. Choi Yoo Won!
=Why does it have to be Lee and Yoo? Shouldnt it rhyme with Hyun-Yoo/Sung-Won?
=The childs name is Yoo Sung Jin, right? Yoo/Sung!
=Oh. Thats right.
-I think theyre both different routes of Yoo Sung Jin. Yoo Sung Jin evolves into either Lee Hyun Sung or Choi Yoo Won.
=Evolution. Is Yoo Sung Jin 2B?
=Yoo Sung Jin 2B story.
=Yeah, Lee Hyun Sung is the evolution of the stone of humanities. Choi Yoo Won is the evolution of the stone of art.
-Where can I get the stone of humanities? I want to evolve him into Lee Hyun Sung!
=I want the stone of art.
-But dont you think if you evolve him well with the stone of art, hell turn into Seo-jun?
=Wow How do you evolve him like that?
=222 That must be really hard.
