peninsula asteroid.

Chapter 881 Lim Nayeon?
"Goblin" became a hot topic immediately after the second episode ended, especially the discussion about the last scene exploded.

Similar plots of a hero saving a beauty can be found in almost any Peninsula TV drama, but this old-fashioned and bloody story is so enduring that there is naturally a classic aspect to it. It conforms to the instinctive desires deep in the hearts of all audiences. Girls pursue romance and boys like to show off. This is the most natural yearning and pursuit in everyone's heart...it just depends on how the plot is laid out and how well the director shoots it.

This scene at the end of the second episode of "Goblin" was obviously shot very perfectly and touched the hearts of every viewer.

Everyone knew that the heroine would be fine, and everyone also knew that the protagonist would definitely come to save her, but when Ji Kyung-won and Lee Dong-wook showed up, they couldn't help but cheer in their hearts, and screamed in amazement when they saw the close-up of Ji Kyung-won at the end.

This is the profound skill of the writer and director. The various factors such as the foreshadowing, the blasting street lights, the deep lighting, the hazy fog, the BGM, etc. all illustrate this point, but it is also a powerful reflection of the actors' own qualities...

When Ji Kyung-won and Lee Dong-wook appeared on the camera, they immediately touched everyone's heartstrings, especially the close-up of Ji Kyung-won at the end, with his cold face and sharp eyes, coupled with his outstanding facial features, this scene instantly touched the hearts of countless female audiences.

…The comment with the most likes in the comment section below is “I’ve never seen an actor look so handsome in a trench coat.”

Due to the emergence of a big explosive point, the popularity of "Goblin" exploded immediately after the second episode was aired. Various discussions soared to a higher level than the already popular first episode, and it directly became the hottest topic at the moment.

The ratings for this episode were also counted soon after, with an average of 9.0% and a peak of 11.5%. Compared to the first episode, which had already set a record for its premiere, the second episode's ratings directly increased by 2%, an extremely astonishing increase.

...This is the result of the influence of the "hero saves the beauty" segment not yet spreading. Just looking at this plot, the level of discussion on the Internet has completely skyrocketed. If nothing unexpected happens, the ratings of the third episode will surely get a very significant increase.

Unfortunately, "Goblin" is a TvN drama on the Friday and Saturday schedule, with one episode aired every Friday and Saturday at 8 o'clock, so the next episode will have to wait until next week.

In the following days, the discussion and popularity continued to ferment, directly overshadowing "Legend of the Blue Sea" and "Romantic Doctor Kim" which were TVB TV dramas with a viewership rate of 20%, and became the hottest topic in major film and television forums.

While Ji Kyung-won and Lee Dong-wook were being discussed in various ways, the footage of him heroically saving a beauty while walking on the street at night was made into an animated graphic and spread all over the Internet. Countless viewers directly gave him fancy titles such as "the most handsome in a windbreaker", "the most handsome holding an umbrella", and even "the most handsome walking" and "the most handsome breathing". All major media, portals and marketing accounts also noticed the popularity of "Goblin" and began to publish articles to recommend and introduce the drama.

"Peninsula Daily: The premiere of "Goblin" is packed with highlights and shows its popularity"

Text: The leading actor Ji Jingyuan has become the most popular actor of the new generation with hit dramas such as "Misaeng" and "Signal".

The nation’s first love, Bae Suzy, the heroine of the nation’s first love who performed brilliantly in “Architecture 101” and “House of Nine Books”.

Lee Dong Wook who played "Xue Gongchan" in the Korean drama "My Girl".

The playful and cute Yoo In Na in "Queen Inhyun's Man".

Yook Sung-jae, who formed the popular CP "Toffee" with Kim So-hyun in "School 2015".

Together with the golden team of "Descendants of the Sun", screenwriter Kim Eun-sook and director Lee Eung-bok, this series of gorgeous lineups came together to create the most anticipated finale of TVN's anniversary celebration, "Goblin"...

"NAVER: "Goblin" tops the weekly topic rankings, surpassing "Descendants of the Sun""

Main text: TvN TV series "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" won the first place in the topic ranking in the first week of December.

According to the TV drama topic ranking and analysis results for the first week of December released by TV topic analysis agency GOODDATA, "Goblin" ranked first with 12 points, which is 1 times the score of KBS's "Descendants of the Sun" in its second week of broadcast, and achieved this result 14468 weeks ahead of schedule.

The second and third place rankings of TV series remain unchanged, and are still SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama "Legend of the Blue Sea" and Monday-Tuesday drama "Romantic Doctor Kim Si-bok", with 4329 points and 3845 points respectively. MBC Wednesday-Thursday drama "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo" and KBS comic adaptation drama "The Voice of the Heart" ranked fourth and fifth respectively.

"The premiere of 'Goblin' received a warm response and set a new tvN ratings record"

"Goblin: A huge hit right after its premiere, with a mind-blowing plot and movie-quality special effects!"

"It is reported that Chi Jingyuan, the actor who plays the male lead in "Goblin", became the top spokesperson for windbreaker and umbrella brands within one day due to his perfect performance in the drama."

“What’s so good about “Goblin”?”

In just a few days, you can see a lot of reports about "Goblin" in almost every place that has entertainment news. Some report facts and statistics, while others report all kinds of gossip to attract attention.

Anyway, it's a hit... Putting aside the difference in ratings due to different broadcasting TV stations, the discussion level has already far surpassed "Blue", which was identified by everyone as its biggest rival before the show started.

...The segment about Lee Min Ho's 'romantic acting' that was praised by fans in the sixth episode was less than one-third of the discussion about Ji Kyung-won holding an umbrella.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the popularity of "Goblin" seems to have already taken shape, and it is racing along the road to becoming a big hit, and it seems unstoppable.

…………

"Hey Yigu..."

Chi Jingyuan got into the nanny car with great effort. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he watched the fans and passers-by swarming outside after the car started.
Ever since the broadcast of "Goblin", especially after the second episode caused a surge in discussion, the entire crew immediately became the hottest topic. In the past two days, Chi Jingyuan clearly felt that there were many people wandering around the crew, all wanting to see how they were filming, or to meet the actors and get their autographs or something.

If the filming was done somewhere else, it would be ok if there were not many people following them, but the main scene location, the cottage where Jin Yan and Wang Li lived together was in the famous Unhyeongung Palace Western-style house. Although it was not easy to get in because it was on the campus of the Women's University, it was quite troublesome to have many people guarding outside the whole time.

"Goblin is really popular these days..."

Cui Zhichang drove the car carefully. After finally getting rid of the fans who were waiting for him, he said excitedly: "Somi mentioned it during the live broadcast yesterday."

Chi Jingyuan was operating his mobile phone and couldn't help but glance at him when he heard this.

This brother's love for IOI remains unabated...

"what did she say?"

"I left a message asking her what she was watching recently. She said she was watching Goblin and recommended it to her fans. It seemed like she really liked it..." Choi Ji-chang immediately listed all the details with great interest: "Then I left a message asking her if she knew Jingyuan. Somi said she knew him and that he was a very good senior. We even exchanged contact information..."

"Have it?"

Chi Jingyuan looked up and blinked when he heard that... and soon he remembered that he had exchanged mobile phone numbers with several members of IOI backstage at the music show.

But we didn't talk much...

After remembering it, Chi Jingyuan nodded in approval: "Very good."

He had a good impression of Jeon Somi, who was tall, had long legs, a good figure, and was very recognizable...but what impressed him most was the way she rolled her eyes in the last episode of "Sixteen" after Hirai Momo was resurrected. It was so lively.

"...I heard rumors recently that after IOI disbands, Somi might join Twice. Fans seem to have found a lot of hints, such as the song title "1to10" meaning there will be ten members, the knocking sound at the end of "TT" hinting at a new member, and an encore together...Jingyuan, do you know the inside story?"

"Ah? I don't know. I've never heard of it."

"Well, it would be great if Somi could join TWICE after IOI disbands. At least she wouldn't have to worry about career development. With her looks and figure, she might even be the center. Anyway, I think that in Twice, only Tzuyu xi is better than her in terms of appearance... Oh, and Mina xi..."

Cui Zhichang was so worried about his idol that he muttered to himself for a while and then casually mentioned, "By the way, I heard from Jaehyun that SM has received many invitations to endorse windbreakers and umbrellas recently. Do you know Jingyuan?"

"Um……"

Chi Jingyuan nodded and shrugged indifferently: "Unfortunately, there is no show..."

Because of his performance in "Goblin", some smart brands were very sensitive and directly sent endorsement invitations to SM, hoping to take advantage of this popularity.

Unfortunately, he already has endorsements for GUCCI's entire line of products, and he will not endorse other brands for competing products such as trench coats. As for umbrellas... they are a bit low-end and no longer fit his current image.

After chatting for a while, the car drove onto the main road. When waiting for the red light, Cui Zhichang asked again: "...Do you want to go back now? Do you want me to take you there?"

Chi Jingyuan left the crew not because of work, but because of a dinner party.

"Well, no need. I can drive there myself. I'll go back and take a shower and change clothes first."

After shaking his head and answering, Chi Jingyuan swiped on his phone and reminded him, "Brother, don't talk yet. I have something to do right now..."

"Ok."

He entered the EXO team's KakaoTalk chat group, where EXO had a mobile phone conference to hold.

Everyone is very busy during this period. Ji Jingyuan is busy filming, Do Kyungsoo is busy with movies, Park Chanyeol is busy joining the crew, CBX is busy with activities, and Wu Sehun is busy watching dramas...

Everyone’s schedule is full, and it’s difficult for everyone to get together privately, so some things are discussed directly in the online chat group.

It is December now, and the year-end galas of major TV stations are just around the corner. This time, we will mainly talk about EXO's performance repertoire in several music festivals at the end of the year, as well as some collaboration stages.

After seeing everyone present, An Chengyuan started giving instructions directly. Knowing that everyone was busy, he kept it brief:

"We didn't arrange any special performances for the last few evening parties at the end of the year. We just performed the usual shows... But the "fire" stage at MAMA a few days ago received a very good response. With the invitation of the TV station, we may perform again at the SBS Gayo Daejeon..."

"Then there will be individual special stages. You guys should remember them first. As for the specific songs and rehearsal time, I will send them to you privately...Jong-in will be the opening dance of the SBS Gayo Daejeon and will perform with many idols. Then KBS will have a dance collaboration with Taemin-xi."

"Chanyeol and Rose xi from Blakcpink, Jihyo xi from Twice, and 10CM have a collaboration stage on SBS."

"Jongdae and SHinee's Onew, CNBLUE's Jung Yonghwa, and Hwang Chi-yeul have a song collaboration on KBS..."

"..."

"...Jingyuan, because you have too many schedules at the end of the year, the company has turned down your cooperation invitation or replaced you. If you have any ideas, please tell me."

Chi Jingyuan quickly saw his name, and after quickly browsing it, he didn't say much, but just sent a "received" to indicate that he understood.

Just as his agent said, he is indeed too busy this year. The filming of "Goblin" took up most of his time, and in between he also had concerts, solo albums, and various miscellaneous schedules. He is completely overwhelmed.

"Then, in the SBS Gayo Daejeon, we will perform a medley collaboration stage as a unit of SM, probably collaborating with Red Velvet and NCT. However, producer Yu Yongzhen is currently thinking about the specific process, and I will notify you when the results are available..."

"Then there will be the release of the winter special album on the 18th, as well as the related activities that will follow. However, due to schedule and release schedule, the company has decided not to promote the winter special album this time..."

An Chengyuan spoke for more than twenty minutes to explain some things at the end of the year, and then he announced the end without wasting everyone's time. Chi Jingyuan wrote down his itinerary and chatted with other members in the XO group for a few words before putting down his phone.

"Well……"

He looked out the window at the dark clouds outside and muttered to himself:

"Look at the sky, it looks like it's going to rain..."

…………

"Thanks……"

After politely declining the waiter's guidance and asking for directions, Chi Jingyuan, wearing a mask and a hat, looked at the name of the private room sent by Jin Yilin on his mobile phone and went upstairs to look for it himself.

Last time, I was concerned about Kim Ye-rin's recovery backstage at MAMA. After I came back, I heard from her that she had almost recovered and was able to be discharged from the hospital and return to the team to start activities.

It is natural to celebrate after recovering from a serious illness. Moreover, after such a serious car accident, it is really a very happy thing to recover smoothly after strong treatment. It is necessary to ask for good luck anyway. Before Chi Jingyuan said anything, Jin Yilin had obviously planned it long ago. She took the initiative to say that she would hold a "resurrection and return" welcoming banquet and invited Chi Jingyuan to attend.

Although he was really busy... Chi Jingyuan still agreed immediately. He was really happy to see that his familiar younger sister with such a good personality could return after recovering from her injury.

Kim Ye-rin also said in advance that she would invite some close friends, but Ji Jingyuan didn't care. This kind of thing should be celebrated with close friends, and he was just one of them... It's just that there is a possibility that he will meet Bae Joo-hyun and her good CP Son Seungwan, and it might be a little awkward when they meet.

…But it doesn’t matter.

This is a restaurant called 'Seoul Forest', which is located near Hongdae. The downstairs is a small table for dining, and according to the introduction, the upstairs is often used for birthday parties, and they are all quite large private rooms.

After confirming the name, Chi Jingyuan came to the door of a private room. Just as he was about to push the door, he heard a familiar chirping voice coming from inside:
"...Ouni, I'm telling you, I felt different right after I changed hospitals. The wards are bigger, the equipment is cleaner and more advanced, and even the attitudes of the attending doctors and nurses have improved a lot. Occasionally, professors come over to help me with my medical treatment..."

"...Yes, Jingyuan Oppa helped me find it."

“…When I first heard Irene say that, I felt a little embarrassed… Fortunately, I agreed to it shamelessly. Otherwise, I think it would take at least a month for me to recover, haha~”

The sound came to his ears when Chi Jingyuan knocked on the door and then gently pushed it. He just pushed the door open and had no time to look at the situation in the room when he saw Jin Yilin, who was already seated not far away, suddenly jumped up and ran over with a smile on her face. While running, she turned back and winked, "Our Goblin Oppa is here!"

"Oppa!"

Jin Yilin stood in front of him very lively, looking up and down at Ji Jingyuan who was taking off his mask with lively eyes, and praised him with a smile without any hesitation: "Wow, so handsome!!"

"Come here quickly, I'm waiting for you!"

She did not look at all cautious and weak as someone who had just recovered from a serious illness should have. Instead, she looked no different from before, with her braids swinging back and forth, looking very bright. She held Chi Jingyuan's hand intimately and walked towards the table.

"Hey, who is this?"

"Jingyuan is here."

"Senior, Aniha Saiyo~"

Being pulled inside by Kim Ye-rin, at the same time, the familiar faces at the surrounding tables were greeting Chi Jingyuan with a smile, and some even stood up and looked a little nervous... Chi Jingyuan walked in, glanced at them and responded with a smile.

There were quite a lot of people. Kang Seulgi, Son Seungwan, and Red Velvet were all there... Well, I just didn't see Bae Joo-hyun.

Maybe there is some itinerary...

Also sitting at the table were Shinne's Kim Jong-hyun, NCT's Lee Hae-chan, and Akdong Musician's Lee Soo-hyun, all of whom are close friends of Kim Ye-rin.

This kid has a cheerful and generous personality and is very sociable. He has a lot of friends and is very popular in the circle. I guess he invited everyone slowly this time, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough space for everyone at the table.

Chi Jingyuan greeted them with a smile. These were all his acquaintances... Even if they were not very close, they were all juniors in the company, or acquaintances he had met several times at the TV station. There was nothing to be shy about.

Uh ~
As he was walking, Ji Jingyuan was pulled by Jin Yilin to an empty seat. When he was about to sit down, he saw a familiar face sitting not far away. The face was grinning with a pair of rabbit teeth showing and waved at him gently. Suddenly, his heart paused.
