Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 93

[From April to June, the number one topic, finally ending.]

[The other broadcasters sighed, KBC missed out!]

[Popular overseas, Plus+’s hit work, number one. The Royal Physician!]

[KBC The Royal Physician final episode, ratings 41%!]

[The first Wednesday-Thursday drama to surpass 40%!]

[Spot on! The Royal Physician, heo Yu-seon’s kingmaker theory!]

-I haven’t waited for the drama broadcast in a long time, what do I watch now. I wish it was April againㅠ

-I thought it was a mess when Seongnyeong Daegun’s doppelganger appeared, but it seems like Heo Yu-seon’s trauma treatment would be better with a doppelganger than someone else.

-Me too, I empathized well with Seongnyeong Daegun because he looked exactly like me. I remember episode 14.

-ㅋㅋ Heo Yu-seon, he really tried to make a kingㅋㅋ

From April to June, the 24-episode, 12-week fusion historical drama, the Royal Physician, ended with a grand finale. There were many reviews on the KBC The Royal Physician board, sNS, and the The Royal Physician fan cafe that started from episode 4.

[Title: Heo Yu-seon seems amazing as a doctor.]

It’s not all doctors, it’s what I think. I don’t know about the difference in status or loyalty or anything like that.

There were two times when I thought I couldn’t be a doctor, the first was when my family or friends were very sick. I don’t think I could ever do surgery on my parents. I’m too nervous that I might make a mistake.

The second was when I had my first death patient… I still remember it clearly. When I meet a patient with the same disease as that patient, my heart sinks without me knowing.

Even when it’s a patient I’m not very close to, heo Yu-seon’s first death patient was the first person he opened his heart to, seongnyeong Daegun… He didn’t quit the clinic and researched the cure for the epidemic and finally succeeded (and his face and symptoms were exactly the same!) Heo Yu-seon is really amazing.

[The Royal Physician Special – Interview with PD Choi Min-sung]

Q. In the early Joseon period, it was not The Royal Physician but My Pharmacy, right?

A. Yes. That’s right. But the title My Pharmacy is not familiar to the public. The Royal Physician is not as intuitive as just listening to it, so that the viewers can think of ‘something happening in the palace, royalty will come out’.

Q. What happened to Heo Yu-seon after that?

A. He travels around the country doing good deeds (laughs) and returns to the palace as a physician at Sejong’s call. He works hard to research diseases.

It’s related to the title, but it was around Sejong 25. The drama ended and 18 years passed. After Heo Yu-seon returned, sejong renamed My Pharmacy to The Royal Physician.

I originally planned to include this story, but the scene of crying at Seongnyeong Daegun’s tomb was so impressive that I decided to end it there.

Oh, of course, the story of Heo Yu-seon as a physician is all fiction.

-Sejong Sillok, sejong 25th year, June 15th, Musul 2nd article / Deciding the name of My Pharmacy and the titles of the officials [Annals of the Joseon Dynasty] It’s real!

-I like this kind of behind-the-scenes storyㅎ

-If it was fiction, you should have saved Daegun Mamaㅠ

-But the last scene was good. If it was the original script, leaving out Seongnyeong Daegun and Heo Yu-seon becoming a physician would have been bad.

=ㅇㅇ I like the lingering feeling. Heo Yu-seon becoming a physician is too closed ending. By the way, I like closed happy endingsㅎ

“It’s weird.”

“What is?”

“I didn’t have Monday blues for three months, but I think they came back. When will it be the weekend?”

“It’s only been five minutes since we started work.”

The employees of Monster, led by co-CEOs Kim Hee-sang and Lee Min-jun, were preparing to work and chatting.

“And the Monday blues are because of that. The Royal Physician.”

“Ah. It ended last week.”

The Royal Physician, which aired on Wednesdays.

Thanks to that, among the The Royal Physician fans, there were people who hoped that the weekend would end quickly and Monday would pass and it would be Wednesday.

There were people who said they never dreamed they would wait for Monday in their lives.

That was all past now.

“What do I live for now?”

“Wait and see. There will be another interesting drama.”

“That’s true.”

The employee who quickly regained his energy checked his email.

“There’s a lot today.”

Thanks to Hollywood star Lee Seo-jun, Monster was known overseas. If it wasn’t a photo taken during filming, Monster’s products were almost never missing from the photos Lee Seo-jun took.

In one article, it was even called ‘Lee Seo-jun’s signature’.

Thanks to that fame, there was also a buying group called Lee Seo-jun’s overseas fans, and they were selling quite well.

The employee looked at the purchase inquiry emails that arrived from all over the world and something caught his eye.

“Halloween festival?”

***

He was free because he had no filming. And in a few days, it would be summer vacation. Seo-jun yawned big and solved the workbook. His smart head quickly derived the answer.

He finished his school homework and solved all the problems he had to solve in a day.

Seo-jun, who finished all his work, wondered what to do and picked up the remote control.

“Da Ho hyung went on vacation. Mom went to the mart. Should I watch a movie?”

Then, the phone rang. Uncle Hee-sang! Seo-jun’s face brightened.

Last January, after finishing the film festival and returning, Kim Hee-sang told Seo-jun his wedding news.

The other person was his longtime girlfriend, choi Soohee.

Pianist Choi Soohee worked in Europe and Kim Hee-sang worked in Korea.

The two people who were in a long-distance relationship recently decided to get married when Choi Soohee settled in Korea.

Kim Hee-sang enjoyed his honeymoon and vacation after the wedding, so only co-CEO Lee Min-jun was busy.

‘He hardly ever comes to our house.’

He felt a little disappointed, but he was happy to see his uncle Hee-sang smiling. He was also looking forward to the baby that would be born soon.

‘Uncle Hee-sang will be a great dad if he does what he did for me.’

Seo-jun thought so sincerely. From when he was a baby until now, he was a good uncle who knew him better than anyone else in a different way from his mom and dad. Wouldn’t he be a happy child if he grew up as his uncle’s child!

“Hello!”

-Hey, seo-jun. What are you doing?

“I finished the workbook and I’m going to watch a movie now!”

-What about Eun-hye?

“Mom went to the mart!”

-Really? Do you have anything to do at the end of October?

“October?”

It’s July now. Seo-jun checked the schedule that Ahn Da Ho sent him on his phone. Hmm. It’s clean. There was no schedule since the filming of The Royal Physician ended.

“No. It’s very clean.”

Kim Hee-sang laughed at Seo-jun’s words.

-Well, then, do you want to go to Paris with Min-jun?

“Paris? Paris, France?”

-Yeah. Our company is participating in a Halloween festival in a city near Paris.

“Halloween festival?”

-Yeah. It’s an event where people set up stalls in the square and dress up as monsters or ghosts.

Halloween! Monsters! Ghosts!

Seo-jun’s eyes sparkled.

-If you look at the reviews from last year’s event, you have to act according to your costume. A person dressed as Dracula has to pretend to hate garlic and wooden stakes like a real Dracula, and a zombie can’t talk. At the end of the event, they vote on who did the best costume and acting.

Seo-jun’s eyes, which were sparkling, grew even bigger.

Kim Hee-sang, who seemed to notice Seo-jun’s excitement, laughed cheerfully.

-I thought of you when I saw that. How about it, do you want to go?

“I want to go!”

Seo-jun said with enthusiasm. As expected, Uncle Hee-sang! He knows what I like! Seo-jun wondered what to wear for the event that was three months away. Dracula? Zombie? Goblin?

-I’ll send you the promotional materials for the Halloween event, so look at them with Eunhye and Min-jun. And let Eun-chan and Da Ho know.

“Okay!”

Seo-jun hung up the phone and waited for the banana talk to arrive, staring at his phone.

After 10 seconds that felt like 10 minutes, a banana talk arrived from Kim Hee-sang. The banana talk message had not only promotional materials, but also links to reviews from people who participated.

[Title: Going to the Halloween Festival in Orche.]

I went to the Halloween festival in Orche, a small city next to Paris, France.

I went dressed as Dracula… I couldn’t eat garlic. Garlic bread with alio olio! There were all kinds of delicious garlic dishes, and I can easily eat ten cloves of garlic in one meal! I couldn’t eat itㅜ They don’t sell it to vampires. That’s the festival rule… Please check it out before you participateㅠ The garlic sausage looked delicious!

“Ahahaha. There’s really such a festival?”

The couple and Seo-jun laughed as they read the review. A vampire who had to run away from a wooden stake, a werewolf who had to growl and imitate a wolf when he saw a round and yellow ornament, and many other monsters with different concepts had reviews.

“Famous monsters have settings set by the festival. Monsters without settings have to wear badges.”

For example, if a gumiho, an oriental monster, had no festival setting, the festival organizers would give out badges.

What you can eat and what you can’t.

A person who dressed up as a gumiho chose a badge that matched the concept of a gumiho who eats liver, which allowed him to eat only red food.

There were many other badges.

“That makes it easy to understand.”

Seo-jun’s words nodded Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun.

“That’s right. With these badges, you can participate in the festival even if you make your own monster.”

“What are you going to do, seo-jun?”

“Werewolf! Uncle Hee-sang is going to make it for me.”

“You won’t be cold with fur.”

Seo-jun smiled brightly at his parents’ words, who looked up the weather in Paris in October.

“Are mom and dad going too?”

“Then, shall we go on a family trip this time?”

Seo Eun-hye and Seo-jun nodded their heads with a big smile at Lee Min-jun’s question.

They had been to the US as if they were visiting their own house, but it was their first time in Europe. Seo-jun, of course, and Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun too.

“Yes! Let’s do that!”

“Okay! I have to tell Chan too.”

“Okay!”

Seo Eun-hye called Seo Eun-chan.

“What kind of werewolf clothes are you going to wear, seo-jun?”

“Furry ones! Dad, I have a drawing, do you want to see it?”

“Sure.”

Seo-jun quickly brought his sketchbook from his room.

The werewolf in the picture was covered with glittering silver crayons.

Lee Min-jun frowned as he looked at the picture.

The werewolf in the picture had a snout sticking out and his nails were terrifying.

His whole body was covered with fur and he was standing on his hind legs. He looked more like a wolf walking on two legs than a werewolf.

“Doesn’t this look too much like a doll mask?”

“Is it?”

“It’ll be hard to eat with your face like that.”

“I see!”

He hadn’t thought of that. Seo-jun pondered and drew a werewolf in a new sketchbook.

He drew a person first, since it was the clothes he was going to wear. Then, he left his face alone and drew ears on his head with silver crayons.

Seo-jun concentrated on drawing.

“Eun-chan is here.”

“Huh? My brother-in-law is here? Now?”

Seo-jun and Lee Min-jun, who were drawing hard and meddling, looked up at Seo Eun-hye.

Seo Eun-hye scratched her cheek.

“Well, he said he had something important to talk about.”

“What is it?”

The couple and Seo-jun tilted their heads to the side.
