Chapter 23 – Fluttering (4)
'Fluttering'
is the No. 1 drama in the same time slot as 'High-Altitude March'
'Fluttering',
a fusion historical drama with a fantasy twist... Why is it so popular?
'Fluttering'
overcomes fire incident and achieves 1st place in 'drama rating of the year'
Yoon
Jay confesses to Park Seo-ah... Instant viewer ratings, 'highest ever'
└
Aish, I'm surprised;;
└
Can’t you change the fact that the article is written under their real name?
└
Ah, fu#k. The reporter is using their real name again.
└
I thought it was some kind of dating scandal. Haha. Turns out, it was about a
drama.
—
Yoon Jay is a rookie and he's good without ups and downs. Which acting academy
is he from?
└
It doesn't look like he takes an acting class.
└
There is some personality, but it seems like it's just fan service.
└
He's American, right? I really can't believe someone didn't find out about his
background in school time, even though he was just an ordinary person before.
T/N:
I'm sorry, I guess I didn't translate this part well. More or less, in this
section, they talk about whether Yoon Jay is studying acting in college
(basically, they talk about formal education background).
—
I'm an active firefighter. I've seen a video of the fire, and he handled it
very well. He suppresses the fire in a very standard way, like someone who has
been in this field for a while.
└
Wow
└
Daebak
└
He didn't let go of the fire extinguisher until the end ㅠ
Since
the fire incident, Yoon Jay's name has been popping up in the internet
community. His performance in the drama was also good, so there were a lot of exaggerated
comments that he was the target of an Award.
"Assistant
Manager Lee, did you watch Fluttering over the weekend?"
"Me?
Of course, I did. And I watched the rerun on Sunday."
The
story of <Fluttering> is also talked about in everyday life. It's not
just the community, but the public as well.
'It's
difficult because most of the historical drama sets are located in rural
areas.'
Kang
Chang-hoon, a reporter who had unintentionally overheard the conversation
between Lee Young-chang and Yoon Jay, traveled to the set of <Fluttering>
for an interview.
'Yoon
Jay seems to be a pseudonym......'
Ever
since the premiere of the re-release of <Children>, he had been leaving
work early and researching Yoon Jay whenever he had time. Not surprisingly,
nothing came up.
'When
did he become acquainted with Director Lee Young-chang?'
Judging
from the paparazzi shots of Hollywood stars, he must have lived in the U.S.,
and even more so, he had no contact with the former bodyguards in the special
forces.
The
first thing he did was find the firefighters who had responded to the fire
incident.
"Hello."
"Who
are you?"
"Oh,
I'm......"
"I
already said I wouldn't be doing an interview."
The
Captain of the Fire Brigade Unit, who happened to be in the same car as Yoon
Jay, was about to go inside the Fire Brigade after lunch. Reporter Kang
Chang-hoon stopped him.
"Now,
wait a minute......! I'm writing an article about Yoon Jay -ssi, and I need
your help."
"Hmm,
what is it? I don't want it if it's malicious intention."
"Uh,
no, it's not like that. He has become popular recently, right? I need your help
so I can write an article for......"
The
Captain paused for a moment. After the fire incident, he also watched
<Fluttering> starring Yoon Jay. It turned out to be a drama that his wife
had liked from the beginning.
"The
one about the fire incident has already been broadcast."
"Uh,
but you're in the field, so you should know better."
The
drama production team has been reticent to talk about the incident. They didn't
want to confirm that the cigarette butt controversy, which was still
speculative, was real.
While
the drama was airing, they wanted it to end without any controversy.
"Well,
it's just like in the news."
The
Captain glanced at Kang Chang-hoon, who answered roughly. He doesn't believe
the reporter. He had been the victim of their misinformation many times before.
'Hmm,
is this going to help that person?'
I
heard that he's a rookie actor just starting.
When
I told my wife about meeting Yoon Jay, I remember her saying that it would be
even better if people knew he was a former firefighter.
Although
this job is paid less than other jobs in Korea, it is still a job with a good
social image.
Besides,
even in the U.S., where firefighters are treated well, the LA Fire Department
is a big deal, isn't it?
"Is
there anything else? I'm not being malicious, I'm just trying to write a good
article about the actor."
"Hmm......
From what I heard, he used to work as a firefighter."
"You
mean, Yoon Jay -ssi?"
"Can't
believe it? But, he's an expert at handling things like that."
I
hope he doesn't mind if I spill the beans, it's not like he asked me not to.
The
Captain passed by Kang Chang-hoon, whose eyes were wide open.
"Uh,
I haven't heard anything from the Fire Department......"
"Oh
no, we got a call."
Just
then, a siren sounded. The Captain rushed inside, and the garage opened,
revealing a red fire truck.
"......Let's
start by checking social media first."
It
was Kang Chang-hoon's job to find the evidence.
***
Reluctantly
turning around, Jung Yeonhwa stared at Lee Hwi with shaky eyes.
"I'm......"
Jung
Yeonhwa was also confused.
The
man with the bamboo mask who had listened to her story, and the current Lee Hwi
who hadn't gone crazy yet.
But
she hadn't forgotten how obsessed he was with destroying her family before the
regression.
"I'll
just leave."
This
person will soon become like that. I must steel myself. She deliberately stayed
away from the Crown Prince to avenge her family.
"I
see you don't know me yet......"
Lee
Hwi turned around and reached for Jung Yeonhwa's back. Of course, it didn't
touch, his hand just stayed in the air.
And
just like that, Lee Hwi wakes up earlier than before the regression.
T/N:
I'm sorry, but I also don't really understand what this sentence means
T_T
"What
are you doing now!"
"Ugh!
Hyung -nim!"
"Yul,
get behind me."
The
Crown Prince, this one was originally gentle and affectionate. That's why Jung
Yeonhwa was attracted to him, and that was why before the regression, he had
fallen for the scheme and became a retired Crown Prince.
However,
an opportunity arose for him to change his attitude towards Lee Hwi. This was
because Lee Hwi was secretly trying to get rid of his youngest brother, Lee
Yul, who had low legitimacy but was very powerful on the maternal side.
"What
the hell is this......!"
"Do
you see that child as your younger brother?"
"Hyung
-nim!"
"Not
me."
With
Jung Yeonhwa's help, Lee Yul's death could have been prevented, but this
incident was completely unbelievable. Although we are estranged now, when we
were young, we were more like brothers than anyone else.
"Then,
Hyung -nim...... Am I not your younger brother?"
"You
are not, from a long time ago."
There
was a heavy sound effect, and Lee Hwi's voice changed.
At
first, he had suppressed his voice to be polite, but now it was explosively
boiling. His eyes glow with madness, just like in the first scene of Episode 1.
"From
the moment you put on this outfit......"
Lee
Hwi grabbed Lee Gun's shoulder. The blue dragon robe represents the Crown
Princess status. He lightly sweeps it with his hand, it shows his desire for
that status.
"You
were never my younger brother."
You
are my enemy. His shiny eyes made Lee Gun swallow hard.
'At
this rate, I'm going to......'
My
Hyung -nim is going to devour me.
Lee
Gun, who has a weak temperament, is awakened by Lee Hwi's warning, and the two
begin a full-fledged confrontation.
And
finally, Lee Gun realizes his feelings for Jung Yeonhwa.
"Why
did you hide the fact that you ran the 'Presbyterian Church'?"
"Because
I didn't think you would want me to."
"Why
would I not want to!"
"Didn't
you hate me!"
"I
didn't hate you!"
The
meaning of the drama's title is not clear, but like a blurry shape. In this
case, somehow Lee Gun thinks that Jung Yeonhwa is not as bad as she's been
rumored to be.
"I
always dream about the future. It's how I get the precious stones. But tonight
was strange, I dreamt I was crying while holding someone, and in my
arms......"
"......"
"You
were there."
"......!"
"What
on earth is going on?"
"Are
you remembering?"
Like
Jung Yeonhwa, he also has his pre-regression memories.
And
when Lee Hwi noticed the two of them standing close together, giving off a
strange aura, his expression was more normal than expected.
An
expression of not knowing what he thinking, but his face turned scary when he
turned around.

—
Don't you think this drama is too focused on Yoon Jay? Did the original work
also favor Grand Prince Muhwi? Isn't it too much for a second male lead?
└
No
└
Honestly, since the fire incident, it seems like they're giving him too much
credit.
└
Favoritism? Because Kim Hyunjun didn't get into the character.
└
Why did you bring up Kim Hyunjun when we were talking about Yoon Jay?
└
Second male lead? Haha. On the 14th episode, Yoon Jay's screen time is less
than 20 minutes, what are you talking about?
└
I guess we thought he had a lot of screen time because his presence was
outstanding in every scene.
—
But the setting of Grand Prince Muhwi is a mess. Before the regression, he
worked hard and used his brain a lot to abolish the Crown Prince and make
himself the Crown Prince. Even when the male lead and female lead with
regression memories stick around, they always notice and interfere with his
plan like ghosts.
└
(real)
└
The two of them seem like a villain with a real presence
"Ugh,
da#n......"
Kim
Hyunjun nervously threw his cell phone onto the chair next to him. Ever since
the fire incident, the interest in Yoon Jay has increased. But he didn't feel
much of a crisis.
After
all, it's an adapted drama from an original work, and Jung Yeonhwa's
performance was the main plot line, and he had a lot of screen time to develop
romantic feelings with her.
'I
let my guard down because he's a rookie.'
However,
I forgot that the charming villain is more fan-favorite than the male lead.
Every
scene he's in, he's a force to be reckoned with and makes a strong impression,
which makes his screen time seem weak in comparison.
"Wow,
I guess I don't have anything to teach you."
"Thank
you."
"This
is your first time with wire, right?"
"I
think I'll be fine. I've rappelled a lot."
"Oh,
really?"
"But
still, would you mind giving me a demonstration?"
The
scene to be filmed today was a confrontation between Jung Yeonhwa and Lee Hwi,
who was trying to get a witness who would reveal the corruption of Lee Hwi's
biggest enabler, his maternal uncle, Inspector Yoo, and Lee Hwi, who was trying
to kill him before he could testify.
'He's
good.'
Kim
Hyunjun glanced over at Yoon Jay, who was practicing skillfully for his first
wire action.
'It's
not easy to get this kind of response from the first work......'
Because
of that, there was an industry pick controversy before the broadcast, and......
He came in as a supporting actor right away because he had connections, and I
heard somewhere that he even asked an investment company.
In
addition, the actor Moon Changmin also received some attention when he posted a
photo of the filming of <The Garden of Evil> on SNS and wrote, 'Yoon Jay
is a junior who is good at acting, so I approached him first to get to know
him.'
'Moon
Changmin is a member of the Coke Club.'
The
existence of a suspicious investment company may be connected to the
well-connected Coke Club.
Now
that things have become like this, I think it would be better to build a
friendship before he becomes more famous...... After finishing the calculation,
Kim Hyunjun approached Yoon Jay with water in his hand.
"Jay
-ssi, drink this."
"Ah,
yes."
Yoon
Jay accepted it gratefully. Before, he had acted friendly to avoid tardiness problems,
but now his atmosphere was strangely different.
"Wow,
you're really good. I have a hard time keeping my center on the wire."
"......Thank
you, Sunbae -nim."
"Sunbae
-nim? You're too stiff."
Kim
Hyunjun smiled falsely and patted Yoon Jay on the shoulder.
He
looked over his shoulder and saw the manager giving him a 'here we go again'
look. This wasn't the first time this had happened, was it?
"Jay
-ssi, you must be 91 line, right? I'm 90 line. Just call me Hyung."
T/N:
If you don't know, 'line' is a substitute word for birth year.
"Yes,
I'll call you that when it comes."
For
now, Yoon Jay accepted the favor.
'Why
is he acting like this all of a sudden?'
It's
so different from the first time we met. This sudden change in attitude without
any pride is probably a talent. Yoon Jay smiled sheepishly as he accepted the
situation roughly.
'I
want to start filming quickly.'
'Oh,
is he laughing?!'
Kim
Hyunjun, who misunderstood the laughter, choked up, but he didn't stop
pretending to be friendly.
