finally survived the press conference without danger, and then Zhang Chengyuan followed the crew to the Gangwon Road filming location overnight to continue filming, but before leaving, he took the time to meet Xiao Jing, invited her to eat pasta and comforted her temporarily.

Five days later, on Monday, May 14, "Wonderful Life" starring Jang Sung-won and Ha Ji-won finally began airing on KBS TV's evening prime-time broadcast. Since the two leading actors are not big-name stars, or even old faces known to housewives, the attention of this drama is relatively low, and the ratings of the night are only about 8%, ranking last among the TV dramas broadcast by the three major TV stations at the same time.

For a while, the atmosphere inside the crew was a lot more depressed, and those who usually like to joke stopped joking, because everyone was in no mood to laugh. As the leading actors, Jang Sung-won and Ha Ji-won naturally took the reason for the failure of the premiere on their own shoulders, and the pressure suddenly increased a lot, so that they often couldn't fully devote themselves to filming, and the number of NGs was several times more than usual.

Fortunately, the director was very considerate of their feelings at this time, not only did not applaud, but asked Zheng Baobao, Yin Haiying and other senior actors to talk to them, calm their anxious mood, and tell them that it is normal for the TV series to have a poor premiere performance, which does not mean that the show has failed.

The words of the seniors are sometimes really accurate, and sure enough, after the second episode aired on Tuesday, the ratings skyrocketed to more than 10%. The reason may be that Jang Sung-won's handsome face is too lethal to the girls, and Ha Ji Won is also very attractive to men, so when the second episode was broadcast, there were many boys and girls watching it.

After watching the TV, a small number of these young viewers also left messages on the TV station's TV drama website, praising the appearance and acting skills of the male and female number one. Among them, the representative comments about Zhang Chengyuan are as follows:

"The male lead, Jang Sung-won, I know him, once collaborated with Jang Dongjian in a certain ramen commercial, and was nicknamed 'Jang Dongjian's younger brother', with outstanding qualifications and handsome! Now it's a big deal! ”

"The national beauty is comparable to Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin, and even surpassed, at least the figure is stronger than them, 188cm, with wide shoulders and thin waist, inverted triangle shape, and the back is really fascinating."

……

Comments like this kind of "blowing Jang Sung-won to the limit, almost comparing Jang Sung-won to the most beautiful man in South Korea" are mostly Park Byung-yeol who concealed Jang Sung-won, who was still relatively thin-skinned, and assigned his staff to do it, in order to increase Jang Sung-won's popularity.

"The starring actor has a good appearance, a good temperament, and the acting skills can't be seen for the time being, but it feels okay."

"Isn't this guy the guy who played Bohu boy Zhang Lie? Now it's a little taller, a little stronger, and a little older, and I almost don't recognize it. But it's not as strong as it used to be. ”

"It's really handsome, I hope to see more of his performances."

……

These are the mainstream perceptions, which are more objective.

Of course, there are some things that don't like Zhang Chengyuan:

"What kind of goods, which sewer gushes out, can you still be the male number one at this level, does the director receive benefits?"

"The acting is like mashed potatoes, rotten to the slag. It's also said to be handsome, isn't it just a product under the scalpel? Thousands pop up every year! More than the dingos in the countryside. ”

……

There are hundreds of comments like this, which is much more than the positive ones.

Seeing these malicious comments, Zhang Chengyuan's immobile state of mind also felt that his heart was on fire, and he scolded angrily: "The most people in the world are this kind of people who don't see the good of others and wantonly insult others, I really want to beat them flat!" But Park Byungyeol happily comforted Zhang Chengyuan and said: "Chengyuan, you are popular, the more fierce these people scold, the more popular you are." ”

As the plot unfolded, the ratings of the next few episodes also increased, reaching nearly 15% in the fifth episode, 17.7% in the ninth episode, and 20% in the eleventh episode, and then basically remained above 20% despite the lack of follow-up, reaching 23.6% at the peak.

It can be said that Zhang Chengyuan's first starring TV series is also a bit successful, although it is not worth mentioning compared to those popular TV episodes with ratings of more than 30% or 40%, but for new actors, it is definitely a big achievement.

Then, the evaluation of Zhang Chengyuan quietly changed a lot, there were more people who praised and fewer people who scolded people, and the entertainment pages of some newspapers also published Zhang Chengyuan's general personal information and acting experience for the first time. Especially when a certain media disclosed the amazing news that Jang Sung Won was born at Seoul National University, the South Korean people paid attention to Jang Sung Won, and regarded him as a high-achieving student with excellent character and learning and a newcomer actor who worked hard to rise to the top, and his evaluation of him immediately became much higher. And those who slandered him almost immediately died down, did not dare to make noise, and at most provoked things like "he is too young to be too highly evaluated".

As Zhang Chengyuan has become a hot topic of discussion, the TV series he starred in has also risen, and in the 15th episode, the ratings soared to 27.7%, about 5% more than the previous episode, but unfortunately the plot has reached the end stage, which makes the TV station and crew sigh Unfortunately, I knew that Zhang Chengyuan's education would attract such attention, so I should have hyped it before the premiere. And Park Byungyeol was even more distressed, shouting that he had made a mistake, knowing that his other artist, Kim Tae-hee, who was born at Seoul National University, had risen rapidly by virtue of his beauty and education, and this time he actually forgot to make a big fuss in this regard, which is a pity!

On July 3, this TV series aired the last episode and ended successfully with a rating of 28.5%, although it did not break through 30% in the end, and it cannot be compared with popular dramas such as "Queen Mingcheng" and "Love Hotel" broadcast in other time periods, but it was a success after having the most laugh in the program competition of the three major TV stations at the same time.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the next day, the main creators and main actors of the crew gathered at a barbecue restaurant in Jiangnan to have dinner and celebrate, and Zhang Chengyuan, Ha Jiyuan and others naturally would not be absent. After eating this dinner, the crew was officially disbanded. But Jang Sung-won and Ha Ji-won did not separate immediately, but went to visit Xiao Jing together and played with her for several hours before leaving.

After filming this TV series, Jang Sung-won's fame has risen several times, and Park Byungyeol is happy to laugh all day long. Park Byungyeol also doubled his worth several times, and now he no longer accepts the small notices he used to receive at low prices, and is busy formulating new development plans for Jang Sung-won, and is busy running around to select suitable jobs for Jang Sung-won.

And Jang Sung-won is generally too lazy to participate in these things, he believes that Park Byungyeol's vision and character will not do a loss-making business, and he will not sell him. Therefore, when Park Byungyeol was very busy, Zhang Chengyuan was very idle, either to visit the four sisters such as Lee Hyo-ri and Sung You-ri, or to tease Xiao Jing, and occasionally took Xiao Jing to visit her sister Zheng Xiuyan in the practice room of ** company, and by the way, he signed several trainees who were close to Zheng Xiuyan and took pictures together. Now he is a little star, and it is normal to have fans.
