Chapter 225: Do Bong-soon's first broadcast and airport pick-up
JTBC TV station has high hopes for "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon" and has invested a lot of money in its promotion and marketing.
The TV series launch conference ended that night, and within two hours, overwhelming publicity reports indiscriminately bombarded the entire Internet.
[Lovely Park Bo Young & comic book man Kim Ki Heon's new drama - "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" will premiere on JTBC TV at 11pm tomorrow night! ]
[Park Bo-young, who grew up eating cuteness, will make her comeback after a year - "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon" will premiere at 11pm tomorrow night! ]
[Dream back to 1988! Dean of Education (Yoo Jae-myung plays Do Bong-soon's father), A-taek (Park Bo-gum plays Do Bong-soon's younger brother), Pearl (the grown-up version of Pearl, playing Do Bong-soon's childhood) (guest appearance in Kim Ki-hyun's new drama - "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon"!]
…
In addition to the media coverage, the crew also released the latest promotional stills.
In this set of photos, Park Bo-young, who can lift the car with one hand without any effort and has a relaxed expression on her face, forms a sharp contrast with Kim Kye-hyun and Go Kyung-pyo who look surprised next to her.
In addition, in the couple poster with the words "The man I can carry on my back", Park Bo Young easily carried Kim Ki-Hyun on her back, and Kim Ki-Hyun, who gave his entire body to Park Bo Young, was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth.
After a night of fermentation, the number of comments and clicks on topics related to the drama quickly took over.
The next day, at twelve noon.
The crew released the trailer for the first episode.
In the trailer, Park Bo Young plays the strong woman Do Bong-soon, who displays her supernatural powers in her daily life. She not only teaches a lesson to the gangsters, but also beats them so hard that they are left with a mess (really).
Seeing this scene, Jin Qixuan invited her to be his bodyguard.
The scene then changed to show Jin Qixuan doing fitness training with his upper body naked.
Next, Do Bong-soon, played by Park Bo-young, takes an entrance test by arm wrestling with Kim Kye-hyun.
As a result, Jin Qixuan, who had a muscular body, blushed and tried his best to pry it open but failed. He was knocked out immediately.
At the end, Kim Ki-hyun was injured and was picked up by the petite Park Bo-young with a worried look on her face. Kim Ki-hyun enjoyed being "rescued by a hero" and the funny background music made people laugh.
After this trailer was aired, it quickly sparked heated discussions across the entire network. For a time, "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" became the most anticipated new drama in 2017.
At around 9:30 that evening, the crew finished work early and the production team booked a Korean restaurant in Myeongdong, where all the staff and actors watched the premiere together.
Before the show started, Jin Qixuan started calling his friends on his phone to help him contribute to the ratings.
Even if you don’t have time to watch it, you have to tune into that channel!
After giving a lot of instructions, Jin Qixuan sent another message to Li Zhien who was still flying in the sky.
The first-class cabin where she and Bae Suzy were stayed had WiFi, so although it couldn't contribute to the cable ratings, it still contributed to the online ratings.
Although it is afternoon over there, based on Jin Qixuan's understanding of Li Zhien, she should be sleeping soundly on the bed on the plane.
Jin Qixuan guessed correctly and sent her more than ten messages, all of which were unread.
Later, Jin Qixuan wanted to tell Bae Suzy, but... there was no contact information.
After thinking about it, Jin Qixuan sent a message to Liu Inna and asked her to pass it on.
Kim Kye-hyun was fiddling with his phone, while Go Kyung-pyo looked nervous and kept telling Park Bo-young that he was worried about bad reviews and poor ratings. Even the confident Park Bo-young was made a little nervous by him.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan turned around and comforted him: "Geng Piao, don't worry, even if I scold you, I won't scold you."
Jin Qixuan was telling the truth, but it also hurt Gao Gengpyo's heart.
If a drama fails, the audience will scold the screenwriter, director and even the leading actor, but almost no one will scold the supporting actors.
Especially the unpopular supporting role.
Jin Qixuan's comfort worked, and Gao Gengxiu's heart was broken and he no longer cared about the ratings and bad reviews...
Soon, at exactly eleven o'clock, the commercials on TV ended.
"here we go."
I don't know who shouted, but everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the TV.
The screen flashed, and the first scene was an accident that happened on the school bus that An Minhe, played by Jin Qixuan, was riding in high school.
When the car was about to lose control and fall into the river, it stopped in time.
Jin Qixuan, who was still in shock in the back seat of the school bus, leaned out the window and looked out, and saw a scene that he would never forget.
The bright sunshine shines directly on the girl in the pink hoodie.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by.
Her hair danced in the wind, and just as her hoodie was about to fall off, an alarm rang and Jin Qixuan woke up from her dream.
"Damn, I almost saw his face!"
As Jin Qixuan wakes up cursing, the story begins with an introduction to his background.
An Min Hyuk is a rich second generation.
His father came from a gangster background, but he successfully cleansed himself up and became a well-known entrepreneur.
Ahn Min Hyuk started a gaming company from scratch and enjoyed a cool life of working two days a week and spending the rest of the time eating, drinking and having fun.
He has a very direct and cheerful personality, and can even be a little narcissistic and neurotic from time to time.
Today was his day to go to work.
As usual, he rode his balance bike into the company.
Then after entering the office, he found that the computer had been hacked and the screen was full of threatening words.
Then the phone rang, and the voice was still threatening, demanding that he give up his status as heir.
At this point, although he was very angry, for his own safety, An Min Hyuk chose to hire a bodyguard.
The shot here is focused on Do Bong-soon submitting her resume to the planning department.
The scene changed and began to introduce the heroine's life experience.
Her family has always had a secret: female descendants will gain mysterious powers, but if they do bad things, these mysterious powers will disappear immediately and their faces will be covered with smallpox.
After introducing the family background, the camera turns to the hospital.
Newly born mini Do Bong-soon gave the obstetrician a little pink punch because the doctor said she was too ugly.
The doctor who delivered the baby flew backwards ten meters away in an instant...
When she was four years old, Do Bong-soon and her younger brother were kidnapped by human traffickers.
My younger brother in the car was so scared that he wet his pants.
The next second, the young Do Bong-soon, who was eager to protect his brother, became furious and kicked the car door open.
The trafficker was confused. The car was driving fine, where was the door? He had no choice but to stop the car to check the situation.
Do Bong-soon took the opportunity to pull her brother up and run away quickly, but the two children were caught up by human traffickers before they ran far.
However, Do Bong-soon just stretched out her hand and gently pushed the trafficker away more than 80 meters...
The trafficker got up in horror and drove his car to hit the monster.
At this critical moment, Do Bong-soon protected her brother behind her.
With just one hand pushing forward, the speeding car came to a sudden stop, and the rear end of the car was lifted high, and the brother and sister successfully saved themselves...
As time went by, little Bong-soon grew into a graceful young lady, and the great power in her body grew stronger and stronger.
That day, she went on a spring outing with her classmates.
The tour guide pointed to a huge rock and said it was a hundred-ton rock and even ten or a hundred people would not be able to move it at all.
The next second, Do Bong-soon, who had just taken the photo, trembled her hand, and the huge rock that had stood here for a hundred years rolled down the cliff.
The tour guide and tourists were all terrified.
The camera turns to show the mother taking Do Bong-soon to the temple to pray, hoping that her son can be admitted to medical university, and that her simple-minded daughter can make her worry less and cause less trouble in the future.
Do Bong-soon looked at the originally expressionless Buddha statue, which suddenly laughed and her eyes became sharp.
After her mother left, she communicated with the Buddha for a while. Perhaps the negotiation was not going well, so she left the temple angrily.
The abbot of the temple came to worship Buddha, but as soon as he raised his head he was so angry that he spit out blood.
Because the Buddha statue is facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes...
As the saying goes: God stands in my way, God is killed; Buddha stands in my way... just get out of my way! (Hahahaha) After graduation, Bong-soon changed numerous jobs because of her personality, and her family could only arrange for her to work as a farmer in the countryside.
So, Do Bong-soon went to the countryside and drove a walk-behind tractor.
But it seemed a bit difficult for Fengshun, who had taken the test dozens of times, and could even drive a four-wheel drive tractor into a ditch...
Seeing that there was no one around, Feng Shun had no choice but to lift the tractor weighing thousands of pounds with just her small hand.
The cows plowing the fields nearby were frightened silly, and the sheep grazing nearby were frightened madly.
The people who came over later were also frightened by the scene and sat on the ground.
The farming job that I had finally found through someone else was also lost.
In this way, Do Bong-soon grew up stumbling until she was 27 years old.
Bong-soon, who was dressed beautifully that day, was riding her bicycle when she accidentally ran into gangsters bullying a school bus driver.
Without giving it much thought, she took out her cell phone to call the police, but was discovered by the gang leader who arrived and snatched Bong-soon's cell phone away, throwing it to the ground and breaking it into pieces.
At this time, Bong-soon suppressed the urge to take action, walked up to him to argue, and demanded compensation for the phone.
But this guy obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. He poked Bong-soon's little head with his fingers and laughed:
"Hey, have you watched too many movies? You dare to interfere in everything. Do you think you are Han Hyo Joo?"
After saying that, the gang leader slapped her again.
Bong-soon did not get angry. She slowly raised her head and told herself to be patient. He didn't look like he could take a beating, so she should forgive him this time.
But the other party was obviously a little ungrateful and was still provoking him.
The camera turned and cut to An Min Hyuk who was calling the police by the car.
Behind him and above him, the gang leader was flying in the sky...
When An Min Hyuk turned around, he saw Do Bong Soon punching the gang members away one by one...
Although he was shocked, An Minhe also had some ideas about her divine power at this time.
Afterwards, An Min Hyuk exonerated her at the police station and asked Secretary Kong to invite her to be his bodyguard.
Do Bong-soon, who had originally refused, became so excited when she heard about the annual salary of 60 million that she went to the company for an interview on the spot, fearing that he would go back on his word.
Then, there was the arm-wrestling scene in the trailer.
Jin Qixuan bared his teeth, his face flushed, and he used all his strength, but the opponent's arm did not move at all.
Do Bong-soon moved her hand slightly, and Kim Ki-hyeon's hand instantly hit the marble coffee table. He curled up on the ground in pain, wailing silently.
After truly feeling Do Bong-soon's power, he asked Secretary Kong to bring over the contract and he would officially become his personal bodyguard from today on.
Do Bong-soon successfully got a job with an annual salary of 60 million won.
Just as Secretary Kong was about to leave, An Min-hyuk, with a sense of evil, wanted to make Secretary Kong and Bong-soon have a cockfight.
In response, Secretary Kong looked at the petite and cute Do Bong-soon and shook his head to refuse.
However, considering An Minhe's ability to manage money, he still agreed.
Then, Secretary Kong suffered a broken coccyx, deformed spine, and comminuted fracture of the thigh bone...
The next day was Do Bong-soon's first day at work as a bodyguard.
Because he was afraid that there was a bomb in the car, An Minhe asked her to go up and light the fire while he hid far behind.
Although Do Bong-soon was very reluctant, she had to endure it for the sake of the annual salary of 60 million.
Only after making sure it was safe did An Minhe walk over with confidence.
As a personal bodyguard, it is also necessary to accompany the boss shopping.
Looking at Ahn Min Hyuk buying so many bags, Do Bong Soon couldn't help but doubt her life.
I actually used the money I spent on games to buy him clothes!
Perhaps An Min Hyuk felt guilty and thought that since he had bought so many things, he should buy something for his bodyguard as well. Seeing this, Do Bong Soon refused verbally, but she was already very happy in her heart.
As a result, An Minhe bought her an ice cream cone.
Do Bong-soon was so angry that her little face was distorted and she whispered to him that he was a stingy person.
Then the two came to the park.
An Min Hyuk skillfully demonstrated the drone, which made Bong Soon excited. After all, she had never seen much of the world.
Just then, An Minhe asked her to pay attention to the twelve o'clock direction.
A man in black was hiding in the dark and watching him.
But Bong-soon had no experience and was immediately discovered by the other party.
The man in black turned around and ran away, but fortunately An Minhe was quick-witted and followed him with a drone.
After taking a picture of the other party's license plate and getting a clue, the two began to prepare to catch the thief.
At this point, the first episode ended and the preview for the next episode began.
Compared to other dramas that take three or four episodes to fully portray the characters’ personalities, “Do Bong Soon” brings the personalities of the hero and heroine to life in just one hour.
It was the first time that Jin Qixuan saw a finished product with CG special effects. He felt it was good, especially the part where the Buddha was facing the wall. He laughed so hard.
After the screening, everyone dispersed and went home.
After arriving home, Jin Qixuan washed up, lay on the bed and read the online reviews of the first episode on his mobile phone.
[There are enough laughs and exaggerations, but it's not embarrassing. I look forward to the next episode.]
[I love this couple of Kim Ki-Hyun and Park Bo-Young so much! Sorry, Han Hyo-Joo, I support this couple today!]
[The plot is not important, I just want to see the dog-abuse daily life of the arrogant CEO and his super-powerful wife! ! ! ]
[The plot is compact and the appearance is good. I'm going to follow it! ]
[Actors’ looks 9 points, acting 9 points; screenwriter’s character design 7 points, plot 7 points; male lead’s styling 10 points, female lead’s styling 5 points; Ost 7 points. Overall, I can give it 8 points, and I will wait and see. ]
[I really like Jin Qixuan. I am such a crazy fan that there is no hope for me! ]
[Park Bo Young is very suitable for this kind of cute and playful role. She performs very naturally and makes people feel comfortable watching her. It's like bathing in the morning sun, breathing the forest air, and watching the flowers bloom in spring. Okay, I admit that this is a confession from a crazy fan~]
[The male and female protagonists are very good-looking, there is no doubt about that. The plot is a bit boring, but a few funny scenes are still very interesting. ]
[The stylist put a lot of effort into Kim Ki-hyun, making Kim Ki-hyun look almost perfect in terms of hair, makeup, and clothing. But Park Bo-young's styling... I really can't complain. Did the crew spend all their money on Kim Ki-hyun? He changed 10 outfits in one episode???]
[Jin Qixuan is so handsome! He is pure, sexy and seductive, and his hormones are off the charts. The character of An Hermione is very charming, noble and uninhibited, lively and interesting. I look forward to the next episode! ]
[Boyoung is so so so cute! ! ! ]
[I watched "Do Bong-soon" for Bo Young-unnie, but... I seem to have fallen for Kim Ki-hyeon. This guy... is too handsome. ]
[I decided to watch the first episode. The main characters are good-looking, Park Bo-young, who is a movie star, can hold the comic style, and Kim Ki-hyun, who is a comic book man, also has great acting skills. 】
[Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it’s easy for Kim Ki-hyun to defeat Park Bo-young in arm wrestling. But in the drama, his face instantly turned red, and the veins on his neck were exposed. This performance was really great! ]
…
He read through the messages for half an hour, and only stopped reading after Lee Ji-eun replied to his message.
Creditor: [What are you doing? Jpg suddenly appears.]
Jin Qixuan looked at the emoticon package sent by Li Zhien, grinned, and typed back: "Thinking of you."
Creditor: [I just dreamed of you. ]
"What dream?"
Creditor: [I dreamed that you cheated me of all my money and then got together with Suzy.]
"This dream... seems to be the scene where I made a cameo appearance in Scarlet Heart Ryeo?"
Creditor: [Well, I was a little angry when I woke up, so I spanked Suzy twice. Then she looked at me in confusion, which was hilarious.]
"Haha, there's a scene! But as the saying goes, if you meet someone in a dream, you should meet them when you wake up! What time will you arrive tomorrow?"
Creditor: [If it's not late, it should be 2:15 pm. ]
"I'll pick you up."
Creditor: [No, just do your thing. Han Te Oppa will pick me up, I will go back to the company directly.]
"I'm informing you, not discussing with you, understand?"
Creditor: [Hey, OK~ What time is it there now? ]
"One thirty in the morning."
Creditor: [Are you still awake? Are you filming? ]
"No, I'm reading the reviews for the first episode."
Creditor: [Oh? It’s premiering? I’ll go watch it, you go to sleep!]
"Yes, sir."
After finishing the chat, Jin Qixuan charged his phone and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the ratings for the first broadcast of "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" were released.
The highest ratings were 6.1%, the average ratings were 4.1%, the metropolitan area ratings were 4.5%, and the online ratings were 56.3%, making it the champion in the Friday-Saturday drama ratings.
At this point, Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-young became the hottest names, and the drama instantly topped the list of hot TV drama topics.
"Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" had a premiere rating of 4.1%, breaking the JTBC TV drama's historical premiere ratings record.
It also received numerous praises, which brought great honor to JTBC's TV series. This is JTBC's most successful TV series in three years since "Secret Love Affair".
Although it is a little worse than the hit dramas like "Goblin" and "1988" which opened with 6%, the opening result of 4.1% is already very good.
As we all know, in the past, the ratio of people watching cable TV to those watching wireless TV in Peninsula was about 1:5.
As time goes by and more and more good cable TV dramas become popular and covered, the ratio is about 1:2.5 as of the beginning of 2017.
However, considering that JTBC TV station had relatively poor audience stickiness in 2017, the ratio can be calculated as 1:3.
So, the cable TV station's audience rating is 4.1%, which is roughly equivalent to 12.3% of wireless stations.
The premiere of "The Heirs" had an audience rating of 11.6%;
The premiere of "Descendants of the Sun" received 14% viewership rating;
The premiere of "My Love from the Star" had a viewership rating of 15.6%.
By comparing like this, we can see that the opening performance of the drama "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" is still quite good.
You know, Park Bo Gum's first starring role since "1988", "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds", which won the ratings championship in the same period, had a premiere rating of only 9%.
As for the ratings for the premiere of Lee Hye-ri's first new drama since "1988"...it's not even worthy of being on par with Kim Ki-hyun.
So far, Jin Qixuan has successfully continued the glorious title of "ratings koi".
On that day, the entire set was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Everyone had a smile on their face. Gao Gengpyo, who had always been low-key and humble, became much more confident. Even the food in the cafeteria became a lot richer.
As for the trivial matter of Jin Qixuan wanting to take two hours off, director Li Hengmin waved his hand and gave him one more hour.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, after having lunch on the crew, Kim Ki-hyeon left the crew and drove to the airport to pick up Lee Ji-eun.
The flight was not delayed and was on time.
At 2:25 in the afternoon, Kim Ki-hyeon saw Lee Ji-eun and Bae Suzy walking out at the airport entrance wearing hats and masks and carrying suitcases.
Although they covered themselves tightly, they still looked at each other in the vast crowd.
When their eyes met, it seemed as if the whole world froze, the noise around them stopped instantly, leaving only the sound of each other's heartbeats.
Seeing Jin Qixuan opening his arms towards her, Li Zhien got excited and ignored everything else, and threw herself into his arms like a young swallow.
Then, the two hugged each other tightly in the crowded airport.
Li Zhien rubbed her head with satisfaction as she smelled the clean and refreshing scent of Jin Qixuan. Then she raised her little face to look at him, blinking her bright eyes and asked, "How did you find me among so many people?"
"Because of love, Ms. Li, you will shine among the crowd."
Hearing this, it was clearly the same as usual, but also a little different, and Li Zhien's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At this moment, she really wanted to kiss Jin Qixuan.
However, Bae Suzy, who was walking over with two suitcases, interrupted their love affair with a sad look:
"Is it not over yet? There is still someone here."
"Oh! Sorry, I really didn't notice that my eyes were already filled with Ms. Li, and there was no room for anyone else..."
Lee Ji-eun, who was in Kim Ki-hyun's arms, turned her head and looked at Bae Suzy's eyes that said "I'm tired, let's destroy it", and laughed.
"Where are you going, Suzy? I'll take you there."
"Don't bother you, my agent will come to pick me up."
"That's fine."
Kim Ki-hyeon very consciously took Lee Ji-eun's suitcase from Bae Suzy, held Lee Ji-eun's tender hand with his other hand, and strode out of the airport.
