Chapter 92: Disparaging Before It's Even Broadcast

ide with her. 。Lee Soo-man seemed to see the anxiety in the members' hearts, and finally added a comforting sentence: "This is the last change before debut." 。Then he walked out. 。And the three agent..."What do people think of our show online"

Ji Jingyuan glanced at the two women, gave them a look to indicate they could sit down as they pleased, and then continued to look down at his phone.

"What are you looking at these things for They're useless and they can even affect your mood... I saw some of them when I was bored the other day, some people are just so harsh in their words."

Park Shin Hye sat down beside him, casually sipping water while furrowing her brow. Jung Seo-kyung also sat beside them, tilting her head to look at Ji Kyeong-won's phone.

"I'm fine, I'm rarely affected by negative comments. Sometimes they even provide some amusement."

Chi Jingyuan let out a laugh, and nonchalantly lowered his mouth.

Online opinions about the drama "The Heirs" have been mixed.

The good sides center on the trust in Kim Eun-sook's scriptwriting, and the unconditional support from fans of each actor, especially the numerous Planeters (fans of the agency YG Entertainment) who are the largest group of supporters.

However, the negative side focuses on the strong disapproval of idol actors, believing that for a drama SBS values so much, having mostly idol actors as the leads is almost a joke. No matter how good the script is, it will be completely ruined by these idols' inexperienced and stiff acting.

Apart from that, there are some passersby who dislike the plot synopsis of this drama that has already been released. They think it's another cliché love story between a chaebol and Cinderella. This kind of plot is countless every year on the peninsula, and they're already sick of it.

As the TV drama is about to air, people with different opinions are arguing fiercely online, and their language is becoming increasingly harsh.

Many people feel that our drama's ratings won't be as high as "The Sun Also Rises."

Chi Jingyuan glanced over the comments, then curled his lips and said to the two girls.

"

The Master's Sun, which aired on SBS's Wednesday-Thursday slot before this, is also the drama that succeeded The Heirs. It ended its run on October 3rd with a high viewership rating of 21.1%.

"

This new concept "comedy horror" drama, written by the Hong sisters and starring So Ji-sub and Kong Hyo-jin, achieved a sensational premiere viewership rating of 17.5%, causing quite a stir.

Although the viewership didn't increase significantly afterward, it only reached 21% by the finale. Moreover, the shortcomings in the later episodes were evident. The story's connections and ending felt somewhat rushed. To extend the broadcast period, an extra episode was forcibly added, but the details weren't handled perfectly.

But the show is still very popular with many viewers, and online reviews of it are very high, calling it one of the most exciting TV dramas of the year.

"What level of actor is Su Ji-seop How can that group of idols from *The Heirs* be compared to him Relying on just Park Se-young who has only acted in *Reply 1997* Yun Jae's acting is good, and EXO is popular enough, but he is still far behind Su Ji-seop, not capable of carrying a serious drama."

"A cliché story of a wealthy second-generation heir and Cinderella, with a group of idols acting it out, the viewership is sure to be high. Expect the premiere of "The Heirs" to have the lowest ratings ever."

Chi Jingyuan pointed at a comment, his voice laced with amusement as he read it aloud. Afterward, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if savoring the blunt nature of the evaluation.

The two girls next to him didn't speak, and it was unclear whether he truly didn't care or if he was just holding back his anger.

Though it might not be pleasant to hear, there isn't anything wrong with what was said.

He smacked his lips, shook his head and let out a carefree smile, as if this comment had nothing to do with him. Besides, the person being called out wasn't him.

Park Shin Hye and Jung Seo-jun saw that Ki Kang-won was so calm, Park Shin Hye relaxed and smiled. Then they both took out their phones and started browsing, pulling up comments about them and enjoying them together.

"Now people are still bringing up those old rumors about me. I was so young back then, I didn't even know what I was saying."

After chatting for a while, Bo Xinhui couldn't help but blurt out something, then laughed at herself.

"Me too, many people say that I couldn't even understand the daily dramas I acted in. It would be better to just be an idol honestly, instead of coming to act in serious dramas. It really wasted the role."

Zheng Xiujing pouted and pointed at a line she had just read.

I have to say, when someone takes the lead, this activity of reading your own and others' negative reviews can be quite interesting. It can help to ease some of the tension that you might always feel.

“No matter what, I'm still pretty confident in our drama. The director's revised script is really good. Besides the romantic relationships between the couples which are already exciting, other aspects like class differences, the power struggles of wealthy families, the coldness and preciousness of family ties, are all portrayed very delicately.”

After looking at some online reviews for a while, Chi Jingyuan closed the screen and chatted with the two about his thoughts: "I just think the plot development is a bit slow, with many exciting parts coming later. Besides, the initial story is indeed quite clichéd, so the ratings for the first few episodes might not be very good."

Park Shin Hye and Jung Se-kyung looked at each other, pondered for a moment over Ji-sung's words, and nodded in agreement.

Puxinhui pursed her lips and uttered a heartfelt wish:

"Hope everything goes smoothly."

…………

"CUT!"

"Take a break."

After Director Kang Sin-hyuk gave a shout, he directly announced a break.

Because the progress was fast before, the episodes that were originally planned to air in the first two weeks are almost finished shooting. In recent days, things have become a lot more relaxed every day. Plus, with a somewhat tense atmosphere on set and more free time for breaks, the workload has lightened up considerably.

"Jingyuan, it's going to air tomorrow! We're guessing the ratings. Come join in and give us your guess"

Pool Kyung-won saw Kim Woo-bin waving at him from a distance. He put away his phone and walked over. At this time, several young actors on the set happened to gather together, forming a circle and chatting. After Pool Kyung-won approached, Jung So-min proactively moved aside, creating a space for him to sit down.

It's a bit cramped, but it's okay.

As soon as he sat down, Kim Woo Bin started chuckling and said something.

"No problem, bro. How much did you guys guess"

"I'm guessing 15 percent." Kim Woo-bin looked quite confident, that number is really already quite high.

"I'm also 15%."

"I'm 16%." Park Hyung-sik and Kang Min-hyuk spoke, one after the other, each one taller than the last.

"I'm 14, and so is Hyeri unnie," the person next to her, Jung Seo-yeon, said.

"Am I the only one who's not optimistic I'm guessing 13%," Kim Ji-won said after looking around, a little embarrassed.

Min-min plays a spoiled, bad-tempered chaebol daughter in the drama, but Kim Ji-won is actually quite gentle and soft-spoken in private.

"What about you, Jingyuan"

"Well... I'd say about 10 percent."

After considering for a few seconds, Chi Jingyuan carefully expressed his opinion.

"Jia This low Jingyuan, your confidence is completely lacking!"
