Seo Isu’s horse-drawn carriage.

and

Both works were sailing smoothly.

First,

Starting with a high viewer rating of 7%, this work steadily continued to rise.

Although she always referred to herself as a monster.

In reality, when the scene where Haesoo realizes that she is just an emotionally empty disabled person was broadcast in episode 8.

succeeded in achieving its goal.

[Crime Eater, surpasses the 10% viewer rating wall.]

– Wow, they did it.

– KCN at 10%… How long has it been?

– Since the work that hit 11% before.

– Honestly, the work is good. The acting is flawless, I thought they could do it.

– That’s right. Even though it’s Gil Hye-yeon. I can’t take my eyes off Seo Isu. It’s fascinating to see her act.

– Yeah, people say Seo Isu’s acting is unique. It’s not overacting, but her immersion is incredible.

People were deeply impressed by the Haesoo character portrayed by Seo Isu.

It was inevitable.

In the drama.

Haesoo, who was in danger due to the killer’s retaliation, was fortunately rescued by her comrades who followed.

But Haesoo does not rejoice in that.

The thirst brought about by her empty heart.

Just as limbs do not grow on their own.

The realization that this thirst will be eternal plunges Haesoo into despair.

At that moment, the emotions she embraced were conveyed vividly to the viewers.

It was because Seo Isu naturally had excellent emotional expression skills.

On the other hand, she also had a great empathy for the Haesoo character, unknowingly.

She, too, was increasingly thirsty for ‘what she lacks’ as time went on.

Anyway, that’s how it was.

was sailing smoothly, approaching the history of KCN dramas.

[Crime Eater, achieving a 10% viewer rating. Will it break the record of 11% in KCN history?]

Countless articles were written.

It was natural.

Currently, in the drama scene, there was no work with more buzz than .

Raising just 1% would make history.

Reaching the peak of KCN, a prominent domestic broadcasting company.

People love breaking records.

They long to be a part of that moment.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the progress of .

Meanwhile.

The sailing of had a slightly unique aspect.

“…There’s an article like this?”

“Huh? Hye-yeon. What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Just focus on driving safely, okay?”

On the way to the filming location.

Gil Hye-yeon’s eyes caught something.

It was because of a certain article.

The article didn’t have a very high view count.

But it caught her attention because it was related to a work her beloved younger sibling appeared in.

[Hot Spot Nowadays! Yonggot Cliff!]

Out of the blue.

Yonggot Cliff in Gaby Island was gaining fame.

A place where waves crash all year round.

But if you visit on a rare clear day, the sea dragon at Yonggot Cliff grants wishes.

Some young lovers visit Gaby Island’s Yonggot Cliff to wish for eternal love.

It was a phenomenon that arose with the success of .

On the 25th day of release.

reached a cumulative audience of 2 million.

It was expected to exceed 2.5 million in the end.

In an era where 10 million works are common, surpassing 2 million for a low-budget film was enough to be a topic of discussion.

The interest and recognition of people towards should be seen as more than just the number 2 million.

Thanks to this achievement, Gaby Island, the filming location of the work, also became famous.

The work was just that good.

Above all, it was made possible by the brilliant acting of the actors.

“Hmm.”

Gil Hye-yeon felt a sense of satisfaction.

She, too, had personally visited the theater to watch the production.

How beautifully they acted.

Just by watching the completed work, the scene of rookie actors chattering and enthusiastically acting together came to her mind.

‘But…’

Her thoughts naturally drifted to Seo Yi-soo.

‘It seems like she has a lot of acting concerns.’

Lately, Seo Yi-soo had been making more troubled expressions instead of smiling brightly after filming.

It must be because of the acting concerns she mentioned during the first broadcast.

Gil Hye-yeon is an experienced actress for her age.

Therefore, she knew that Seo Yi-soo’s acting struggles would likely continue for quite some time.

It was not just about acquiring technical skills.

It was like changing the horizon of acting itself and overcoming a barrier.

In that process, there would be countless trials and errors.

She would fall, get hurt, and struggle.

In hindsight, this would also become an experience and an asset for the actor…

‘Still, I should help her a little. That’s what I want to do.’

Gil Hye-yeon thought that she would like to help Seo Yi-soo overcome the wall a little less painfully if she could.

“For now… When I go to the filming site, I should buy her something delicious.”

With that in mind, Gil Hye-yeon headed to the filming site.

And…

Gil Hye-yeon realized that Seo Yi-soo was quite peculiar and strange than she had initially thought.

***

“Gil Hye-yeon, you’re here. Welcome.”

When she arrived on set, Seo Yi-soo was waiting for Gil Hye-yeon.

“Here, quickly. Look at this.”

“What’s this? Candy?”

Seo Yi-soo handed her a bag of candies from a quite famous brand.

“I’m going to give this to Shin Ji-hoo as a gift.”

“Oh, really? That’s impressive.”

“Hehe. It’s nothing much.”

Gil Hye-yeon was quite impressed.

Isn’t Seo Yi-soo known for being a big eater?

Although she didn’t like eating alone and preferred to share everything, giving a whole bag of candies to someone else was quite uncommon.

“Anyway, what do you think?”

“About what?”

“If I give this as a gift, do you think Shin Ji-hoo will like it?”

“Well, I guess. She shouldn’t dislike it.”

In fact, up to this point, Gil Hye-yeon didn’t think much of it.

It was just a bag of candies.

Seo Yi-soo, who was known for being a big eater, giving away her food to someone else was surprising, but she could also give a bag of candies to her manager and fellow actress.

That’s what she thought.

But…

As the conversation continued, she realized that it wasn’t the case.

“Hmm. She won’t just not dislike it, that’s for sure.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Well, recently, thanks to Shin Ji-hoo, I earned a lot of money.”

Seo Yi-soo talked about the running guarantee.

Thanks to the clause she put in the contract for “The Diary of the Sea” due to Shin Ji-hoo’s performance, she could earn enough money to eat over 200 bowls of mango shaved ice.

“…Is that so?”

Gil Hye-yeon suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Unknowingly, she glanced at the bag of candies, then looked back at Seo Yi-soo, who was smiling brightly.

Surely…

No, it couldn’t be.

In her suspicions, Seo Yi-soo spoke.

“So, besides that, Shin Ji-hoo has done a lot for me, so I want to give her a gift.”

“Uh-huh. I see. But why candies?”

“Why do you ask? It’s a gift for Shin Ji-hoo.”

Seo Yi-soo proudly raised the bag of candies with her slender fingers.

“It’s the most delicious candy I’ve ever tasted.”

“So, the candy is a ‘return for gratitude’ gift?”

“Exactly. What do you think? Shin Ji-hoo will like it, right?”

“Uh…”

And when she learned the whole story behind the bag of candies.

Gil Hye-yeon was utterly dumbfounded.

No way, she thought.

Could it really be that those candies were meant as such a grand gift?

“Hmm.”

Nevertheless, just in case.

Gil Hye-yeon seriously considered it.

Hasn’t it been said that in this world, it’s all about the thought?

So, even if it’s just candy.

If it contains Seo Ee-soo’s sincere gratitude, wouldn’t Shin Ji-hoo appreciate it as well?

“…No, this is just a ridiculous thought.”

Gil Hye-yeon shook her head, snapping out of it.

She cleared her mind of the foolish thoughts that had briefly lingered.

“No. Ee-soo. Those candies are definitely not it.”

“Huh?”

Seo Ee-soo looked shocked.

But it was futile.

No matter how much it was Seo Ee-soo, there are things that can be done and things that cannot.

“Who gives candies as a thank-you gift……”

“Why? It’s my favorite candy.”

Seo Ee-soo looked extremely confused.

It seemed like she genuinely thought that Shin Ji-hoo would be pleased if she gave him her favorite candy.

Although Gil Hye-yeon cherished her like a younger sister, she realized that she couldn’t let this continue.

‘I can’t just leave her like this forever. This is an opportunity to teach her a little bit of common sense.’

With a serious expression, Gil Hye-yeon made a suggestion.

“Stop it. Ee-soo. Let’s go buy a gift together.”

As soon as today’s filming ended, she would take Seo Ee-soo to a department store or anywhere to show her what a proper ‘gift’ really is.

Gil Hye-yeon was determined.

“Gil Hye-yeon. I think you might be mistaken. This candy is really delicious.”

Not knowing the situation, Seo Ee-soo weakly argued.

This girl really……

Gil Hye-yeon narrowed her eyes sternly.

“Tsk!”

“Y-yes. Okay. Actually, I was just pretending to think you were right. So stop staring at me like that. It’s really scary if you and Shin Ji-hoo team up.”

And so.

The shopping schedule of the two actresses, Seo Ee-soo and Gil Hye-yeon, was confirmed.
