Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 91

A few days later, a video was uploaded on YouTube.

[Title: I showed my foreign friend the drama My Physician.]

Hello, this is Jojo. Today, I showed my friend Emma, whom I met during my trip to England, the popular drama My Physician. Of course, it was too long to watch it all, so I only showed her the most important parts!

Jo Minyoung and Emma waved their hands and greeted the viewers on the screen.

I edited the scenes where Grand Prince Seongnyeong appears so that they are connected properly! Arent you curious about my friends reaction to the cute and lovely Grand Prince Seongnyeong! And Emma is a huge fan of Jin Natra, so she is very excited! She is also studying Korean hard to watch Lee Seojuns Korean works!

As Jo Minyoung spoke, a caption appeared.

Emma can understand Korean, but she is still studying Korean history. She is only at the Goryeo period ;)

Im so excited!

Emmas eyes sparkled at the thought of seeing the cute and lovely Seo Jun Lee. Her anticipation was so palpable that the people who watched the YouTube video shed tears. It was not a live broadcast, but a recorded video, so they must have already seen it, but they felt sorry for her.

-You devil! Theres a devil here!

-That cute and lovely Daegun Mama, Mama!

Along with the images of Emma and Jo Minyoung watching the video, the title of My Physician appeared in the corner of the screen.

Dung-dung- The sound of drums rang out.

Heo Yuseon entered Grand Prince Seongnyeongs residence. And the camera slowly moved up from the yellow floor.

A wooden table, a covered book, a purple official robe with a giraffe badge, and Grand Prince Seongnyeong. Emmas eyes widened. Her mouth opened involuntarily.

-Wow. The entrance scene is the best.

-The sound of drums fits so well.

-This is exactly the next king. He has such a presence.

The rest of the video was peaceful. As Jo Minyoung said, it was full of cute, lovely, and lively Grand Prince Seongnyeongs daily life.

Emmas expression softened. The people who watched the video smiled faintly at Emmas face and reminisced about the past.

-Its just like me three weeks ago. I thought it was a fusion historical drama that would save him.

-No emotional involvement. No immersion. Im watching with blurry eyes.

-The aftermath will be no joke.

-Now its that.

=That

[Changjin is here!]

The voice of Eui Yanghongdal echoed throughout the palace. Changjin? Emma tilted her head, and Jo Minyoung told her it was a disease. A disease? Janes expression changed subtly.

The situation turned very quickly. People were running around and Grand Prince Seongnyeong was lying down. Anxiety overwhelmed Emma. Emma clasped her hands and watched the video. Episode 14 was almost entirely continuous. She couldnt miss a single thing.

[Jongah!]

Ah

Emma covered her mouth and couldnt take her eyes off the screen. The parents voices filled with grief stuck in her ears. Emmas eyes widened. The physician who had been smiling with Seojun knelt down and collapsed. Snow fell.

[Grand Prince Seongnyeong Lee Jong, Dead]

Jo Minyoung kindly added a caption. Dead. That word pressed heavily on her chest.

Kuhng.

As they watched the video together, Jo Minyoung felt sad and handed Emma a tissue. The YouTube video ended with a scene of Emma and Jo Minyoung, who had prepared a lot of tissues, watching My Physician episode 1 affectionately.

-Ah, I have to watch it again.

-If I watch it from episode 1 again, I think Ill be sad every time Seongnyeong appears.

-Tsk tsk. Im already on my third rewatch.

=Are you okay with the aftermath?

=No no, so I took a half day off and went to Gwanghwamun. I came back after being treated by the living Grand Prince Seongnyeong.

There were many foreign reaction videos to Korean dramas and music videos, but Jo Minyoung was the first to upload a video of My Physician.

As the views rose at the speed of light, the foreign YouTubers who were obsessed with the views started to show interest one by one.

Some watched the edited version like Jo Minyoung, and some watched it from episode 1 carefully.

Among them, unlike the Koreans who had been spoiled in advance, the foreigners did not understand why Grand Prince Seongnyeong, who had made a splendid appearance (some even saw a halo), died.

-Why did he die? Wasnt this a story about him becoming a king?

-He looked like he would become a king.

=The little brother is King Sejong. Hes in the game too.

=Oh, I see.

=And the little one is Jin Natra

=!!!

After that, reaction videos with the title feat. Jin Natra were made, and the video streaming sites that were interested in My Physician started to take action.

***

On August 11th, 1418, the year of Sejongs accession, 22-year-old Chungnyeong Daegun ascended the throne.

The splendid coronation ceremony was somber with Chungnyeong Daeguns reminiscence of the dead Grand Prince Seongnyeong.

[KBC My Physician, ratings! 34%!]

[The two actors who have to carry My Physician! Park Dohoon, Lee Jiseok!]

-I didnt know. Grand Prince Seongnyeongs death had such an impact. He died in February, became the crown prince in June, and ascended the throne in August. It was a tumultuous year of 1418.

-34% Are they the ratings gangsters

=The other broadcasting stations were completely ruined at that time slot.

The sad events did not end.

Sangwibok!

Two years after Wonkyung Queen Consort died, Taejong closed his eyes. A eunuch took the kings upper garment and climbed up to the east roof eaves and shouted northward. Sejong looked at his fathers face with a blank expression.

Sangwibok!

In the kings head, the death of Gyeongan Princess and Grand Prince Seongnyeong, whom he had spent affectionately with, flashed by. His mother and fathers memories and death flashed by.

Sangwibok!

Sejong buried his face in his palm without a word.

The news of Taejongs death reached Heo Yuseons ears. Heo Yuseon, who had come out for a moment after researching, looked up at the sky.

The blue sky without a single cloud was too clean and he hated it.

Daegun Mama. Are you well with Jungjeon Mama? I heard the news that Sangwang Jeonha passed away. Sangwang Jeonha committed many sins, so I dont know if he can meet Mama.

He saw a man running from the end of the street. He was carrying an old man on his back. Seeing that, Heo Yuseon smiled faintly.

I think I have to do good deeds to go to where Mama is, so I have to do more good deeds.

Physician Naeuri! Physician Naeuri!

[KBC My Physician, ratings stay in the 30% range!]

[Already the third funeral!]

-Wow. How long has it been since Grand Prince Seongnyeong died, and Wonkyung Queen Consort and Taejong died too.

-Already the third funeral Is Sejong mentally okay?

-Seongnyeong-2 years later Queen Consort-2 years later Taejong Who will die in 2 years?

-Heo Yuseon dissing in the meantime He said Taejong committed a lot of sins He cant go to heaven

Hello!

As Seojun appeared with a bright smile, the staff who were preparing for the shooting greeted him. The assistant director guided Seojun to the makeup artist. Seojun sat on the chair and sang a song happily.

The makeup artists brush brushed Seojuns cheek and passed by.

I thought the last shooting was the final one, but a few days ago, I got a call from PD Choi Minsung. He asked me if I would play a different role. I tilted my head at his words, but soon nodded.

I liked the changed scene, but it was a bit disappointing that it was deleted since it was the last shooting. And the shooting ended abruptly.

I was disappointed that I didnt hear the Cut, OK! sound at the last shooting.

I opened the script. It was a different role, but I had a feeling why PD Choi called me.

I read the script again and laughed. Lee Jiseok, who stopped by the dressing room after hearing the news of my arrival, smiled at me.

Do you like it that much?

Yes!

Seojun, youre really a born actor.

Hehehe.

Seojun, lets get dressed.

Okay!

I ran to Andahos call. PD Choi Minsung, who was looking around the set, smiled and watched me change into a dirt-covered hanbok. The assistant director rubbed his neck and said.

Will it be okay?

Well, I guess well hear some nonsense.

Do you know that?

But this makes it easier for the viewers to focus. I thought it would be fine to use someone of the same age when I read the script, but the more I shot, the more Grand Prince Seongnyeong stuck out, so I decided it wouldnt work if it was just similar. Fortunately or unfortunately, I couldnt find an actor because of that, so I decided to cast him himself.

The assistant director nodded in agreement at PD Chois words.

Well, I like the change too. But I can understand Heo Yuseons feelings better.

Right? Then shall we start shooting?

Yes! Lets start shooting!

I lay down on the blanket and took a deep breath. I was so nervous that I forgot how excited I was when I came to the set. Lee Jiseok asked me.

Seojun, whats wrong? You were so excited earlier.

Um. Im a bit nervous.

Seojun is nervous and thats something.

I turned my head and looked at Lee Jiseok, who was sitting next to me.

I opened my mouth hesitantly. I felt the [(Good) Red Slime Core] in my body rolling around.

Jiseok hyung. How much should I act sick?

I still hadnt set a standard. I remembered the surprised face of Kim Jongho and the worried face of Lee Jihye, who held my hot hand. Hmm. Lee Jiseok pondered.

I dont know either. Some people like the acting that others dont. When they are very sad, some people cry loudly and some people cry silently. People have different ways of expressing themselves, so they empathize with different acting.

I see.

You have to shoot a lot of works and see the peoples reactions and find out for yourself whats enough.

Then what about before I gain experience?

What should I do now? I looked at Lee Jiseok. Lee Jiseok seemed to know the feelings of Jongho hyung, who cherished the actors who loved acting.

You have no choice but to rely on someone elses help.

Someone else?

Like the last shooting. If Seojuns acting is too much, PD Choi will stop you. Its not often that a scene is deleted, so usually its NG. If NG happens, PD Choi will tell you whats wrong and you can act again.

Again

Thats how you adjust.

I see.

I nodded. I hardly ever made NG, but there was one time when I was scolded for months.

Thats right. I got feedback from Director Ryan for eight months. Of course, I shouldnt make that much during shooting. But a few NGs wouldnt hurt, right?

I felt better when I remembered that time. PD Choi Minsung, who was waiting for the two actors conversation, smiled and announced the start of the shooting. The other staff also started shooting with a happy expression.

Ready, action!

[(Good) Red Slime Core is activated.]

My body temperature started to rise. I breathed heavily and adjusted my temperature.

Weaker than last time. Weaker.

Lee Jiseok checked my pulse with a serious face. My breath flowed out in colors. He remembered my acting clearly and bit his tongue.

Cut, NG!

I was surprised by Director Choi Minsungs voice. NG. NG! My eyes widened. I turned my head and looked at PD Choi.

Uh, did I do something wrong?

No, Seojun. You acted well, but in this scene, you have to act exactly like Grand Prince Seongnyeong when he was sick. But this time it was a bit weak.

Oh, oh. I see.

I nodded awkwardly at PD Chois words. I guess I acted too weak because I was afraid everyone would be surprised. Lee Jiseok patted my shoulder.

Just relax. Relax. Seojun, youre a great actor.

Uh. Yes. Acting is hard.

Sigh. The people who watched the works that this young actor acted in laughed at his words.

[Yang Hongdal and Heo Yuseon returned from exile!]

[KBC My Physician, how many episodes?]

[My Physician is heading towards the end! What will be the ending?!]

-Just dont be a dragons head!

-So how many episodes is My Physician?

=24 episodes. Today is episode 22, so next week is the last.

-Wowits over already?

-It felt like I waited for two years, but its going so fast!

Yang Hongdal and Heo Yuseon, who returned from exile, resumed their original duties.

Heo Yuseon continued his research after finishing his work. Sometimes, or rather, often, he wandered around Grand Prince Seongnyeongs old residence and indulged in memories.

Sejong and Heo Yuseon felt a peacefulness, as if a corner of their hearts was empty.

An urgent report came.

Sejong sensed something from the pale face of the messenger. A cold wind blew, as if when his brother, mother, and father passed away.

The messenger shouted loudly, very loudly.

Changjin is here!

[My Physician episode 22! Changjin outbreak in Gyeonggi-do!]

[Stop the epidemic changjin!]

[Sejong and Heo Yuseon! Can they cure it this time!?]

-Wow shit. I got goosebumps when he said changjin is here!

-Heo Yuseon will stop it! Cure it this time!!

=But Grand Prince Seongnyeong is gone now

My Physician, which was nearing the end, flared up again. After Grand Prince Seongnyeongs death, the people who tried to forget his death had a new goal.
