The rumor that Kim Donghu successfully filmed “Swordsman Baek Dong-su” spread quickly.

In particular, the production company SKS Broadcasting was buzzing with excitement.

“I heard there were no NGs this time.”

“Is that even possible? Sounds like a lie!”

“I’m serious! He’s really good at kendo, and even the martial arts director was impressed.”

“Martial arts director? Was it Ki Seong-chan? That strict guy?”

“Yeah! He didn’t even give compliments and looked all grumpy!”

“Impressive, truly.”

Recently, Kim Donghu’s popularity has been skyrocketing.

With that absurd good looks and acting skills,

It was so painful to see him shine at another broadcasting station.

But now that he’s on the same side, it feels incredibly reassuring.

“If the trend is this good, we might hit 30%…”

“Shh! Don’t jinx it!”

Even though people were watching a lot of TV,

A 30% rating was a whole different ballpark.

Even the supposed blockbuster “Secret Garden” only had a 35% rating.

Saying 30% sets the standard for blockbusters might not be an exaggeration.

“All the works below that are fine too, but once you cross 30%, the impact is different…”

“Right, that’s when investment and advertising really kick in!”

So, as the rumor of Kim Donghu not having any NGs started to twist,

People began to murmur, ‘Maybe Kim Donghu is the key to hitting 30% in ratings?’

Of course, it was just whispers beneath the surface for now.

You never know when someone might bring it to light, but it slowly began to spread.

‘Is Kim Donghu really that amazing?’

Park Jin-hyeok, who plays young Baek Dong-su, raised an eyebrow at the rumors while stopping by the shop for his schedule.

‘I don’t know since I haven’t experienced it firsthand.’

Is there any industry as sensitive to rumors and as quick to spread them as entertainment?

No matter how much you want to avoid knowing, you can’t help but find out in the showbiz.

These days, the hot rumor is about Kim Donghu’s good looks and greatness.

He knew he was good-looking from watching “Hydream.”

But he couldn’t judge how great he was without actually watching.

‘Is he just good-looking, or can he really act well?’

He had seen “Hydream,” but not closely enough.

Suddenly, Park Jin-hyeok became curious about meeting Kim Donghu at the filming site.

And then.

“Oh, senior! Hello!”

“Hmm? Jin-hyeok, right? Getting ready for the shoot?”

“Yeah, I’m playing Swordsman Baek Dong-su.”

“Oh, I see, I see.”

Park Jin-hyeok met Han Tae-geon, the lead actor from “Endless Frontlines,” who frequented the same shop and greeted him with a slight bow.
