Chapter 296
Kim Seo-yeon and Team Leader Lee Hyun-seong didnt notice each others glances, but Song Yoo-jung and her mom couldnt hide their rising smiles at the tense atmosphere.
A bitter smile appeared on Director Choi Yoo-wons face.
-Ahhhh
A miserable voice came from the phone. Song Yoo-jung realized that Im Ye-na was Eo-nam-yu.
-I knew this would happen!
It sounded like she was almost wailing.
Song Yoo-jung chuckled at her friends lament.
It was a victory for Eo-nam-seong.
She was satisfied with the fact that the male lead was fixed as Lee Hyun-seong and smiled. She looked at the clock.
Wow. Its already half over?!
Already?
Her mom was surprised and looked at the clock too.
It felt like they had only watched for five minutes, but it was already 30 minutes past, and there were only 30 minutes left for Spring Has Returned.
They wished time would stop so they could watch more.
The drama continued without knowing the anxious hearts of Song Yoo-jung and her mom.
A boy said something outside the bus window.
The girls cheeks turned red and she leaned her forehead on the glass.
Song Yoo-jung and her mom, who were watching the sweet scene of the two kids with a warm smile, and Im Ye-na on the other side of the phone, were shocked by Kim Seo-yeons narration.
[Because Yoo Seong-jin had left.]
***
[Its been a while. Seo-yeon.]
Song Yoo-jung covered her mouth at Team Leader Lee Hyun-seongs gentle voice.
The soft vibe of Yoo Seong-jin that often appeared in Director Choi Yoo-won was also coming from Team Leader Lee Hyun-seong.
-Ahhhh!
A different reaction came from the phone. It sounded like she was hitting the sofa or cushion with frustration.
Then, Lee Hyun-seong told his past story about Yoo Seong-jin.
Yoo Seong-jin appeared on the screen, carrying a suitcase and a bag, boarding a bus to the airport.
What, he didnt even take you to the airport?!
-What about our Seong-jin?
Yoo Seong-jin, who sat down, looked out the window with a blank face, then
[After taking the final exam with Seo-yeon, grading it, sending off the seniors, studying, taking the college entrance exam, going to college, and maybe even longer, longer ]
He sobbed quietly.
Song Yoo-jung and her moms eyes were moist. They could hear Im Ye-na sniffling too.
The screen that showed Yoo Seong-jin crying slowly changed to show Lee Hyun-seong smiling calmly.
-Im Eo-nam-yu!
Song Yoo-jung and her mom laughed at Im Ye-nas words.
***
[Seo-yeon. I like you.]
Song Yoo-jung clenched her teeth at Yoo Seong-jins confession.
-What do I do. I like him so much!
She thought she had blurted out her inner thoughts.
It was Im Ye-na. She could hear her hitting something again on the phone. She seemed to be ready to tear down the apartment. Song Yoo-jung would have rolled around on the living room floor too if it wasnt for her mom. Instead, she hugged the cushion in her arms tightly.
[I like you too.]
The screen zoomed out from the two people and showed Kim Seo-yeon and Lee Hyun-seong inside a glass window from outside the cafe. The yellow umbrella that was blocking them before was gone, and they were smiling at each other.
The OST of Spring Has Returned played and a caption appeared.
[Thank you for watching Spring Has Returned.]
-It was a good drama! I have to watch it again soon!
Song Yoo-jung nodded at Im Ye-nas words.
Me too. I have to watch it from the beginning.
She decided to watch it with Lee Hyun-seong as the center this time. She heard her moms voice in her ear.
Honey. Buy me VOD.
Heh. I already bought up to episode 5.

Spring Doll, highest rating 34%! Average rating 31%!
Cheers filled MBS drama department.
Wow, it really reached 30%!
In this day and age, 30% for a 6-episode drama!
Did Spring Doll have a wrap-up party? It must be crazy there!
They had a dinner after the first episode and said it was too early, so they decided to go on a reward vacation instead.
Well, its only been a month and a half since they aired 6 episodes, right?
The noisy drama department.
The director called PD Gong Hee-chan aside.
The edited version?
Yeah. Yoo Seong-jins appearance scenes are uneven, right?
Yes. They are.
It was because Yoo Seong-jin appeared according to Kim Seo-yeons memory, so it wasnt broadcasted in the order of time like 12345, but in a jumbled order like 13245.
PD Gong Hee-chan scratched his cheek.
I tried to match them as much as possible but its not perfect.
Lets edit them in order. From when Kim Seo-yeon and Yoo Seong-jin met to when they broke up. That will give the viewers more immersion. Ill take care of everything else, so just try editing it.
PD Gong Hee-chan rolled his eyes.
I wanted to edit it with Seo-joon as the center.
PD Gong Hee-chan nodded reluctantly with a frozen face.
Yes. I understand.
The director smiled brightly at PD Gong Hee-chans agreement.

-Lee Hyun-seong looked like Yoo Seong-jin when he smiled.

=22 When I see it like this, I can only say hes amazing.

[MBS special drama edited version, scheduled to air next Monday!]
[MBS pilot variety show, Looking for Your First Love! scheduled to air!]
-What is the special edited version?
=They said its a Yoo Seong-jin edited version.
=Yoo Seong-jin edited version?
=In the drama, Yoo Seong-jin appears according to Kim Seo-yeons memory, so he appears briefly and in a messy order of time. They edited it in chronological order.
=Are you an insider?
=
-What is the pilot variety show?
=Dont they usually do pilot shows for Lunar New Year or Chuseok specials?
=MBS really knows how to milk us
[Title: Spring Doll) Why Lee Hyun-seong is the only choice.]
The proportion of Kim Seo-yeon recalling Yoo Seong-jin through Lee Hyun-seong and Choi Yoo-won varies by episode.
In episode 1, there was only Lee Hyun-seong, and in episode 2, there was more Choi Yoo-won.
In episodes 3 and 4, they were similar, and in episode 5, there was more Lee Hyun-seong.
In episode 6, as you know, there was only Lee Hyun-seong.
You can tell its Lee Hyun-seong by the proportion alone
+) I also calculated the flashback time length just in case, and Lee Hyun-seong has more.
-Wow. Thats true?
=It was similar until episode 4, so we fought hard, but it got stronger from episode 5
-Look at the effort He even calculated the time
***
Monday 9:30 p.m.
[Spring Has Returned School Days] aired.
It showed scenes from when Yoo Seong-jin transferred to the school to when they ate together in the cafeteria, and how Kim Seo-yeon approached him and softened his prickly thorns.
Unlike the original drama, the edited version flowed in chronological order and made the viewers more immersed.
-Its so good to see it in order like this
=22 I have to watch Spring Doll again after this.
-But when I saw Yoo Seong-jin crying on the bus, it was so pitiful
=Why am I crying while watching something happy?
-But Yoo Seong-jin must have had a hard life.
=22 His parents sent him to Korea and then to the US, it was crazy.
=He said his father remarried, so he must have lived with a lot of pressure in the US too.
=Our Seong-jin grew up well
-The PD who edited this is new, right?
=22 I thought he just glued it together because it was an edited version, but he directed it well to fit the edited version.
=333 The directing was good. In the past, Kim Seo-yeon and Yoo Seong-jin were separated by the bus window, but in the present, they were together in the cafe. And they were both in one screen inside the glass window, so it was nice.
=It was also natural when they switched to flashback scenes when Lee Hyun-seong and Choi Yoo-won appeared.
=The PDs name is Gong Hee-chan? He seems to do well in his next work.
-The writer is also new, right? Im glad he didnt flop.
=22 I was worried that he wouldnt be able to do it because of the pressure from Lee Seo-joon, but he did well.
=The characters were also charming.
=Writer Yoo Cheong-ah! Im looking forward to your next work!
-What do I watch on Mondays and Tuesdays now?
=Yeah. Ive been waiting for Tuesdays for six weeks, so I didnt have Monday blues, but I think its coming back.
=How about Oh Young-chuls drama? It looks good for episode 1.
=Then lets watch that.
Even though it wasnt a lot of content, [Spring Doll School Days] had an amazing rating and made MBS buzz again. As planned by the director, Spring Dolls rating was transferred to the next work. He didnt know what the Tuesday rating would be, though.
Lee Seo-joon! Lets get Lee Seo-joon!
The shout of MBS drama department that had experienced the Lee Seo-joon effect and,
Lee Seo-joon! Catch Lee Seo-joon!
The desperate shout of KBC and SBC drama departments that had their Monday-Tuesday ratings blown away echoed.
