Chapter 135: First appearance overseas, Koreans who climb over the wall to watch the drama



Seoul, South Korea

Park Ji-hye is a young white-collar worker. Apart from work, her rare leisure time is watching TV series and chasing stars.

However, there haven’t been any new dramas that she likes recently, which made her very bored. She even thought about watching "Autumn in My Heart" again.

And that day in the company's tea room, she heard two familiar female colleagues discussing something.

"Omo, Professor Gu is so handsome."

"Yes, yes, and it's very elegant."

"It's also very sweet to be with Qianqian. She always gets mad at me, but I still tolerate and pamper her."

"Haha, this kind of cold-faced and arrogant man is really awesome."

“…”

The two female colleagues were discussing the topic with great enthusiasm, and Park Ji-hye was eager to listen, so she immediately joined the conversation.

"What play are you talking about? It sounds good."

"Oh, doesn't wisdom know?"

They used to chat about gossip about new dramas, so they shared the same interests, and the female colleague immediately enthusiastically recommended it to me.

"It's a Chinese TV series, broadcast on Wavve, called My Love from the Star, and the female lead is Jinsuo."

Wavve is a Korean TV video website, equivalent to Youku and iQiyi in China. Many popular Korean variety shows and dramas are broadcast online on this website.

As a hardcore drama fan, Park Ji-hye is naturally familiar with this website. She even knows who Fan Xiaopang is.

Not only did she watch the popular Korean drama "Wild Princess Looking for Father" when she was a child, but Fan Xiaopang himself is also quite famous in Korea.

Just like many people in China, even if they have not watched many Korean dramas, have vaguely heard of the names of top Korean actresses such as Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye Jin, and Jun Ji Hyun, Fan Xiaopang, as the most talked-about actress in China, is naturally reported by Korean media occasionally.

Her face, which brings disaster to the country and the people, is not only liked by Chinese people, but also by people in East Asia.

Even in Europe and the United States, Fan Xiaopang's reputation in related fields has always been good, so much so that when he couldn't make it in China later, he still worked hard overseas.

But Park Ji-hye was still a little confused: "A Chinese drama? Will it be good?"

It's not that she is discriminating. Korea has always been dominated by Korean dramas and American dramas, and there are also Japanese dramas. Chinese TV dramas are considered niche and there are few popular works.

On the contrary, Chinese movies such as "Red Cliff", "Curse of the Golden Flower", "The Warlords" and "The Forbidden Kingdom" broadcast in recent years have a certain influence in South Korea.

"It's very nice, believe me, you will definitely like this show."

The female colleague made crazy promises, but Park Ji-hye was skeptical. However, she had not had much spiritual food recently, so she went home after get off work and decided to give it a try.

What is different from the domestic situation is that the TV stations in Korea have not yet broadcast the series, and only 10 episodes are available online. It is said that this is because Korean subtitles are still being produced urgently and will be released in batches later.

Park Ji-hye looked at the data and found that the number of views of "My Love from the Star" was unexpectedly good, ranking sixth in the hot list during the same period.

Even on the homepage of Wavve, there is a poster of this drama with the title introduction.

"A phenomenal hit drama sweeping China, aliens protecting big stars"

"The male lead is indeed good-looking."

Park Ji-hye took a few glances at the poster and expressed her approval of Wei Yang's appearance. She cooked a pot of ramen and ate it with kimchi. While eating, she clicked to play the plot of "My Love from the Star".

To be honest, Park Ji-hye watched the drama with a somewhat critical attitude in the beginning, but as she watched more, she became really attracted to it.

Beautiful, delicate and carefree Fan Qianqian.

Professor Gu is cool on the outside but warm on the inside, elegant and reserved.

The exquisite costumes and props, smooth plot, cool special effects and various sweet interactions between the male and female protagonists immediately made her fall in love with it.

After getting off work, she binge-watched 8 episodes in one go and went to work the next day with dark circles under her eyes.

In fact, when she was already pouring tea and coffee to refresh herself, she happened to meet the female colleague who had recommended the drug to her yesterday. When she saw her state, she immediately smiled knowingly.

"Professor Gu is handsome."

"What Professor Gu?"

Park Ji-hye said righteously: "Correction, that's my alien husband."

“I said he was my husband.”

The female colleague was not convinced, and the two of them laughed and joked for a while, then went back to their workstations and simply completed the work at hand. Park Ji-hye began to slack off and secretly watch TV series.

There were still two episodes left to watch yesterday, which made her feel so uncomfortable that she was thinking about Professor Gu and herself even in her dreams... No, what happened to Fan Qianqian?

She gave a look to her colleague, who nodded and agreed to help keep watch. Park Ji-hye pretended to watch the drama in silence.

Last night's plot extended to the heroine taking the blame for the accidental murder of her arch-rival actress, and being led by the public to accuse her. Her agency and endorsements terminated her contracts, and she not only had a huge debt, but also went from being a big star to a rat that everyone wanted to kill.

When the heroine fell into such a situation, apart from her family, only the hero was willing to help her. He not only took the heroine in, but also used his legal knowledge to force everyone back when the heroine was besieged by reporters and rescued the heroine from danger.

Although the hero saving the beauty is an old-fashioned story, it is a real success as long as you play it well.

If the hero only used his superpowers, he would be nothing more than a cheating "king of soldiers", which would be fun, but would lack some substance.

At the same time, he has a high degree of education, high IQ, and is both civil and military, so his personality is more complete, and the nickname "Professor Gu" is well-deserved.

This is how Park Ji-hye gained fans.

Who can resist an alien who is handsome, gentle, powerful, good at both literature and martial arts, and is only willing to protect you?

In the new two episodes, the second male lead has more roles and has been protecting the female lead.

The male protagonist seemed not to care, but he was jealous in his heart. He even used his superpower to stop time when he was secretly watching the second male protagonist confessing his love to the female protagonist, because he was afraid of hearing something he didn't want to hear.

This kind of sad and jealous plot makes Park Ji-hye feel sorry for the male protagonist, but also hate him for not living up to his expectations, and at the same time she feels a strange sense of satisfaction.

On the one hand, I really like this kind of arrogant and black-bellied character who gets frustrated because of his stubbornness, which has some contrasting jokes. On the other hand, many people can't help but identify with the characters when watching the drama, especially this kind of idol drama.

Two handsome guys are fighting for one female lead, and girls can't help but imagine a few things. There must be some anticipation and excitement about the jealousy and competition between the two sides.

On the other hand, not only the hero comes out, but the villain also surfaces.

It turns out that the heroine's mortal enemy was murdered by the prince of a group. He suspected that the heroine might have seen something at the time, so he sent people to test her, installed surveillance cameras, and even sent people to assassinate her in the end.

The male protagonist naturally wanted to save people, and he used his super powers too much, which made the female protagonist discover something fishy, ​​but the male protagonist did not admit it.

However, the prince was not giving up. He had someone drug the heroine unconscious, then drove her car to a high slope on the edge of a cliff. He then put the heroine in the driver's seat and damaged the brakes to create the illusion of a traffic accident.

Just as the car was pushed downhill and quickly heading towards the cliff, the effect of the drug wore off and the heroine woke up, only to find herself trapped in the car, which was rushing off the cliff.

The heroine was terrified and kept slamming on the brakes, but it was no use. The car door was also locked. Seeing the cliff right in front of her, she instinctively shouted the name of the person she could rely on most.

"Gu Xi."

"Gu Xi, save me!"

On the other side, Professor Gu, who had already realized that the heroine was in trouble, was using his superpowers to listen to the heroine's voice within a hundred miles, the moment she called out his name.

The male protagonist teleported to the edge of the cliff, quickly descended from the air, landed heavily, and held down the car that was rushing towards the cliff with both hands, stopping the car at the critical moment.

This scene is absolutely fast-paced and gripping. The heroine falls into danger step by step, and the hero keeps searching for her. The two sides keep flashing back and forth, constantly stirring and pulling at the audience's emotions.

And at the last critical moment, the hero suddenly appears, and he saves the heroine with his arms pressing the car in a handsome and cool posture, with a stern expression and a strong sense of security.

The heroine was in the car, staring in horror at the man who fell from the sky in front of her. She was saved and realized the hero's extraordinaryness. While the climax was perfect, new conflicts and expectations instantly arose.

At the same time, the camera moves in slow motion and the background music starts playing, and all the tension that had been built up before is released at this moment.

"Omo, ahh ...

Even though Park Ji-hye warned herself countless times that she was slacking off at work and not to shout it out, she still couldn't help herself when she saw this moment.

But she quickly covered her mouth tightly. However, she could control her mouth but not her inner emotions. Her whole body was shaking wildly with excitement, like a twisting maggot.

The colleague next to her was shocked and thought she was electrocuted and almost called the police.

After finally regaining her composure, Park Ji-hye knew that she was in trouble, both at the hands of this TV series and at the hands of this man, Professor Gu.

Really, he is so good! Park Ji-hye felt that she should take back her previous evaluation. Professor Gu's verbal battle with the reporter certainly showed the pleasure of crushing with high IQ, but this kind of rescue with absolute power was more visually impactful, making people unable to help but feel adrenaline rushing.

If she had any hesitation about the rich and infatuated second male lead before, now she stands on the side of the male lead without hesitation.

Even after the male protagonist rescued the person, he chose to quietly solve the problem and then quietly left, leaving the second male protagonist to escort the female protagonist to claim the credit, which made him even more infuriating.

Fortunately, the heroine is sure that it was the hero who saved her, and she also has a good impression of him. The two continue to love and hate each other, and have all kinds of sweet and funny interactions, which make Park Ji-hye smile.

As she was enjoying the show, the progress bar ended and she had finished watching the last two episodes. Park Ji-hye suddenly had a cardiac arrest and started going crazy.

She quickly urged for more updates in the comment section below and found that he was not the only one doing so.

In the comment section of "My Love from the Star" on the website, in addition to flattering the actors and praising the plot, more than 70% of the comments are urging for more updates.

[Shit, the subtitle team, hurry up]

[This is not enough for anyone to read. Don’t sleep anymore. Translate quickly.]

[Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up]

[Angry that I only discovered this treasure now, and even more angry that this drama has not even finished airing]

【……】

Many impatient people also revealed that the progress in China is faster. If you really can't stand it and don't consider the translation problem, you can try the "raw version".

So the comment section had another category, which was asking who had the raw version or how to search for the drama on Chinese websites. I heard that you have to go over the firewall, how to do it? Park Ji-hye watched it all and thought it was too troublesome. She was also afraid that she would not understand it, so she waited until the website was updated in the evening.

But after watching the update, she was looking forward to the following plot even more. She was anxious for a long time and then joined the army of people who climbed over the Internet firewall...
