was okay the day before yesterday... These past two days suddenly being free feels really strange."“I’ve already told the company, I’m going back tomorrow.”Qí Jǐngyuán glanced at the television and..."Yuanoppa's TV drama is about to air, are you all watching it"

Of course, I finished my homework at school today. After dinner this evening, I've been glued to the TV ever since.

"I've been busy with work lately, so I swapped shifts with a colleague today. I definitely can't miss the premiere of wuli Yuna's new drama."

“…………”

It's 9:50 now, and several EXO fan groups on the internet are frantically spamming messages, reminding all fans that "The Heirs" is about to air officially.

While other actors' fans may not be as familiar with Park Ji-won, they are all doing their best to support their idols' new drama.

And at 10 o'clock in the evening, this recently publicized and highly anticipated drama, "The Heirs," was officially broadcast under the expectant and scrutinizing gaze of many.

After a logo and title, accompanied by the lively melody of "Love in Name", Jin Tan, played by Chi Jingyuan, directly enters the scene. He wears a jellyfish costume and holds a surfboard, running from the beach towards the sea.

First, he lies on the surfboard, advancing in the water with a freestyle swimming motion. Then, the scene shifts, Jin Tan strides across the board between waves, jumping and gliding, like a dolphin leaping out of the water, so agile and free, as if he was born for this place.

The surging waves, reaching several meters high, not only posed no obstacle to him but also served as a springboard for Jin Tan's agile movements. At the crest of a wave, he half-bent his body, stepped on his surfboard, and leaped into the air. He flipped once in mid-air before landing smoothly on the water surface, looking utterly at ease.

This section is all personally shot by Chi Jingyuan, with no professional stand-ins, so there's no need to switch between long shots and close-ups. The entire screen is a close-up throughout the whole scene. The camera constantly circles Chi Jingyuan within two to three meters, occasionally zooming in for a close-up shot of his face, capturing his entire figure with extreme clarity.

He was tall and muscular, his form-fitting jellyfish suit accentuating his physique to the fullest. His chestnut-colored textured short hair had been soaked in seawater, dripping down from his forehead. Coupled with his faintly smiling features, it further highlighted an undeniably captivating male charm.

This opening immediately captivated countless female viewers in front of their television screens. They felt that every frame of this less-than-minute surfing sequence was worth screenshotting and setting as a screensaver to savor carefully.

The opening was quite impressive, and then it began to narrate the plot and some background information about the main characters.

Choi Young-do, who has a bullying tendency, comes into the picture. He comes from a poor family but works hard to make ends meet. There's also Cha Eun-sang, a kind-hearted girl struggling inwardly despite her difficult circumstances. We also meet Kang Min-hyuk, an academic genius, and Go Yoo-jin, a domineering rich heiress, one after another.

To be honest, the character settings in this drama haven't broken free from the mold of typical Peninsula idol romance dramas. Aside from fans of the individual actors, casual viewers haven't been surprised by anything and instead feel a sense of predictable cliché.

This is also Chi Jingyuan's main reason for not being very optimistic about "The Heirs" at first. Before the plot developed, the character settings were indeed not very impressive.

The scene changed, and the audience who had just felt a little bored suddenly brightened their eyes, couldn't help but sit up straight, and stared at the television screen carefully.

At this time, the screen showed Jin Tan's residence in LA, a villa nestled amidst mountains and water, exuding an aura of wealth and prosperity.

First, there's a drone shot offering a panoramic view of the villa. At first glance, its vast size is simply astonishing. The entire area you see belongs to this house.

Afterward, the drone camera also specifically filmed several swimming pools, tennis courts, meticulously built gardens and a landscape that looked quite expensive at first glance. Every place was showing off the owner's extravagance and grandeur.

Then, we enter the villa's interior, where another round of meticulous filming takes place. The décor is filled with the charm of the Mediterranean style, featuring unique and neat arched designs, expensive yet romantic murals, antique and natural wicker chairs, and a variety of rooms with incredibly comprehensive functions, such as a cinema, game room, wine cellar, and more.

Every room is a feast for the eyes, filled with luxurious furnishings and decor that ooze wealth. This opulent lifestyle, worlds apart from the ordinary, leaves most viewers spellbound, lamenting their own financial limitations while simultaneously harboring a deep sense of envy.

Originally, the director planned to just briefly shoot this scene, but after Ji Jingyuan helped rent out this villa, Kim Seon-ho decided at the last minute to fully showcase the villa's luxury. This leaves viewers astonished that someone like Jin Tan could live in such a magnificent mansion even during his exile, further highlighting the vast gap between the rich and the poor.

The camera pans to the bedroom, where Chi Jingyuan lies in bed reading a book. Warm sunlight streams through the large windows, bathing his handsome face in a gentle glow. He glances briefly at the camera, then extends his curled legs and turns the page of his book.

Let the camera capture Ji Jingyuan's handsome and beautiful appearance, and his performance is also very harmonious. His natural expressions and movements make the audience feel that "he doesn't seem to be acting, but this place really feels like his home."

After this dazzling sequence, the plot continued as expected. Jin Tan and Che Eun Sang coincidentally encountered each other and had some experiences. Ultimately, Jin Tan took in the homeless Che Eun Sang and they moved into the villa together, marking the official end of the first episode.

After watching, many viewers felt a little disappointed with this unsurprising plot development. They sat in front of the TV, savoring it once again, and remembering the first episode of The Heirs, they found that the most memorable was the male protagonist, Kim Tan.

Besides that, some parts are rather bland and lackluster.

However, the excellent production and soundtrack, the beautiful visuals, the deeply impressive male lead, and the glimpses of something beyond typical idol dramas have left me wanting to keep watching.

Two conflicting feelings are mixed together, making some people wonder:

"This drama…"

………………

The next day, Chi Jingyuan got out of the nanny car and as soon as he arrived on set, he immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The crew had been nervous and excited in the days leading up to the premiere, but when he arrived today, he immediately sensed that the mood had shifted. Now it was filled with a sense of despair, anxiety, and urgency.

The staff members who would usually greet you with enthusiastic smiles now had sullen expressions, merely offering perfunctory responses. Even the actors who arrived earlier were not as lively and chatty as usual, forgoing their customary friendly banter.

Ji Jingyuan also noticed that director Kang Sin-hyeok wasn't in a good mood when he was directing the set crew and equipment placement. He seemed very impatient.

Upon his arrival, Ji Jingyuan saw Park Shin Hye waving lightly at him. He glanced around before gracefully walking over and asking a question.

"What's wrong Did you guys fight"

"Ani, it's way worse than an argument..."

Puxin Hui lowered her voice and said to Chi Jingyuan, her expression a bit embarrassed:

"The ratings for the first episode are out..."

What is it

"It's... 10.5 percent."
