“What do you mean, me? …I watched everything you went through. I know you were stumbling around from lack of sleep while filming and practicing choreography.”
“……”
Eunchan scratched the back of his head.
To be honest, he didn’t really think of it as suffering.
Sure, saying it wasn’t hard at all would be a lie.
But he hadn’t hated it.
Not even a little.
“Thanks. I’ll use these well.”
“Good. And that sleep mask was hard to get. Use it until it falls apart.”
“Well… maybe not that much.”
When Eunchan looked troubled, Junseo put on a mock-scolding expression and teased him.
The fact that the members were paying so much attention to him made his chest feel warm and strangely full.
Eunchan bit his lip and cleared his throat.
“But Wooyoung didn’t come?”
“Huh? No. He didn’t.”
“Then I guess I’m not last place after all.”
Junseo grinned and shrugged as if relieved.
At this point, Eunchan seriously wondered if the members really hadn’t coordinated beforehand.
He found himself waiting for Wooyoung.
But even until Eunchan fell asleep that night, Wooyoung never came.
That day, the first episode of Moon Blossoms Beneath the Summer Night Sky recorded a viewership rating of 1.3%.
Lower than it had been in Eunchan’s previous life.
After checking the ratings for Episode 1, Eunchan let out a long sigh.
There had been several changes compared to his previous life.
But he hadn’t expected the results to be worse.
After seeing the number on his phone first thing in the morning, he turned off the screen and set it aside.
What if the ratings stay bad?
The thought surfaced briefly.
But he shook his head.
Audience reactions were beyond his control.
No amount of searching online would change the result.
So there was no point obsessing over it.
The only thing he could do was give his best to the work in front of him.
And right now, the thing he needed to do was practice.
Restarting the music, Eunchan stood up.
Sweat quickly soaked through his shirt.

This is insane.
I just grabbed random screenshots from the broadcast, but look at the color grading.
The story is amazing too.
Only Episode 1 has aired and I’m already planning to watch Episode 2 live.
Is this a historical drama?
└ Yeah. The setting is a Hwarang academy, but honestly it’s more fantasy than historical.
I randomly stumbled across it while channel surfing and ended up watching the whole thing. So freaking good.
└ You watched it too? Same. The actors are ridiculously attractive.
Who’s the third guy?
└ Looks like a rookie. No idea.
└└ Apparently his main job is being an idol.
└└└ Just looked him up. Holy crap, it’s true.

You can lose an entire hour just staring at their faces.
It’s been so long since we had a drama where the male and female leads looked this good together.

Seriously insane.
└ Where can I watch the rerun?
└└ NVN. Fridays and Saturdays at 10:50 PM.
└ The visual chemistry is unreal.
└└ Did the production staff deliberately gather people with matching art styles?
└└└ My theory is the director went around collecting pretty people with a net lol.
└ Their faces alone create all the necessary plot logic.
└└ Agreed. If someone looked that good, I’d invent a fate connection myself.
└ Everyone’s acting is good too. Not a single weak link.
└└ Seriously. Nobody feels out of place.
NoOneShouldMissThis@zzziiiiii20000
Eunchan is in thisㅠㅠㅠ
Eunchanㅠㅠㅠ
I hope he gets more screen timeㅠㅠㅠ
└ ThisLifeStan@s2s2s24528
Has Eunchan acted before?
Why is he this goodㅠㅠㅠ
└└ NoOneShouldMissThis@zzziiiiii20000
He acted once before but this is basically his first real role.
He’s totally idol-actor materialㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[Title: Holy Crap, Eunchan Destroyed Episode 4]
I was worried after Hae-min left, but apparently there was a plan all alongㅠㅠ
└ Why are you dragging someone who did nothing? Can’t let go of the guy who left, huh?
└└ Go baby your former member instead. I even censored the name and you still found this post.
Who’s obsessed now?
I hope Eunchan succeeds.
I hope B the 1 succeeds too.
└ Delusional flop-idol copium lol.
└└ Ignore the trolls.
[Title: Yeonun Is Actually an Idol?]
Then why have I never seen him before?
Where were they hiding a face like that?
└ Exactly!
I can’t believe they’ve already released six singles.
└└ There aren’t many performance videos online, but every clip I’ve found is amazing.
└└└ I looked them up and got whiplash.
Why does he smile so much?
[Title: I Know Yeonun ≠ Eunchan, But…]
I’ve been replaying his fancams nonstop.
Wow.
Is this what falling into a fandom feels like?
It’s been ten years since I followed an idol group.
Where do I start?
└ Same.
The addiction is real.
(Link)
Have you seen this one?
He’s insanely good at his actual job too.
└└ What is this video?!
I’ve never seen it before.
This is crazy.
└└ Eunchan smiling at the camera gave me chills.
Why is he so pretty…?
└└ His eye-smile in this video is insane.
└└└ He’s literally a crescent-moon puppy.
Have you watched the From S stage?
The contrast there is wild.
└└└└ That video ruined me.
Why did I discover Eunchan so late…?
[Title: Is This the Same Guy From Idol Athletics?]
No way…
I remember thinking he had insane idol potential during Idol Athletics.
That’s Yeonun?
└ Have you seen his solo introduction shot?
It kills.
└└ Seriously.
Who would think Idol Eunchan and Yeonun are the same person?
└ His athletic ability is insane too.
That relay race ended me.
EunchanTakesEverything@eunchanO2xx
Yeonun exists everywhere and nowhere.
Yeonun = O₂ = Oxygen.
Which means Yeonun is basically Shim Eunchan.
And without Shim Eunchan I can no longer survive this boring life.
Therefore I have created a fan account.
FoundMyOppa@dashchannnn2222
I hereby declare that all handsome men are oppas.
From today onward I am an Eunchan fan.
Please take care of me.
Jjang@pxbtone
I joined the fandom recently but I can’t find any of the albums.
Am I suffering the same fate as everyone else?
They’ve completely disappearedㅠㅠ
GoingThisWay@threestar
B the 1’s old albums are selling second-hand for 100,000 won.
Are people insane???
Please don’t buy them.
I’m worried new fans might actually pay those prices.
Seriously, where’s your conscience?
└ Holy@holymoly555
Wait, really?!
That’s robbery.
└└ GoingThisWay@threestar
Seriously.
What if new fans buy them out of desperation?
[Title: Did You Watch Episode 6?]

…Is a larger South Korea finally coming?
Tell me I’m not the only one thinking this.
└ I’m here too.
└└ 22222
└└ 33333
└└ 44444
└└ 55555

[Title: What Do We Do When The Chemistry Works This Well Too?]

I’m dying here.
└ Look at the angle they’re looking at each other from.
Yeonun is taller than Gilyoung and it’s just—
└ A masterpiece. A spectacle. Magnificent.
└ Did the production team do this on purpose?
If so, thank you very much.
└└ 222222
└ The chemistry with the female lead isn’t bad, but seeing those two together is strangely satisfying.
└ Why are people doing this with perfectly normal characters? Go somewhere else.
└└ Is there a rule saying we can’t?
It’s not like we’re posting this on the official site.
If you’re uncomfortable, you leave.
└└└ There’s always one person like this.

Calm down while looking at this.
└└└└ Oh wow.
I’ve never seen this picture before.
He’s so pretty.
Thanks.
April was just around the corner, but the nights were still chilly.
Hyun Wooyoung called out to Eunchan as they were returning to the dorm after practice.
After spending so many hours rehearsing choreography, Eunchan’s limbs felt unbearably heavy.
If possible, he wanted to lie down on the sidewalk and sleep right there.
“Eunchan hyung.”
“Yes?”
“Take this.”
Eunchan looked down at what was being offered to him.
His confusion was written plainly across his face.
“…What’s this?”
“I wasn’t sure what you’d like.”
“Why all of a sudden? Is today some special occasion?”
“I wanted to give it to you after the drama premiere, but I ended up being late.”
“Ah.”
Only then did Eunchan understand the meaning behind the gift.
But he couldn’t immediately accept it.
Because it was a small square box.
A very small one.
The kind that fit neatly into the palm of a hand.
Carefully, Eunchan opened his mouth.
“Before I accept it, let me ask one thing.”
“Yes.”
“Is this jewelry?”
The instant he asked, a flash of How did he know? crossed Wooyoung’s face.
Eunchan caught it immediately.
He stared at the box for a moment.
Ahead of them, the silhouettes of the other three members stretched beneath the streetlights.
The street was quiet.
Almost no one was around.
Leaning closer, Eunchan lowered his voice.
“Is it a friendship ring?”
“No.”
Wooyoung lowered his voice too.
“It’s not that.”
“Hm. Really?”
“It wasn’t that expensive.”
That was a relief.
No matter what, Eunchan couldn’t comfortably accept an expensive gift from someone younger than him.
His conscience wouldn’t allow it.
“You accepted gifts from all the other hyungs. Please accept mine too.”
After hearing him put it that way, Eunchan couldn’t really refuse.
He finally took the box.
“Alright. Thank you. I’ll accept it. But you really didn’t need to get me anything. You’re still younger than me.”
“…I’m twenty. An adult.”
Wooyoung immediately corrected him.
“A twenty-year-old is still basically a baby. You were a minor just a little while ago.”
“We’re only one year apart.”
His voice became slightly sharper.
Getting worked up over being treated like a kid was, ironically, proof of how young he was.
By twenty-five, people practically celebrated when someone asked for ID.
“Your birthday is in December, right? Mine’s in February. Even if we don’t count Korean age rules, that’s basically a two-year difference.”
To be fair, Eunchan wasn’t some strict traditionalist who demanded honorifics over a few months’ age difference.
But seeing Wooyoung stubbornly insist they were only a year apart made him want to tease him.
That much he could admit.
Faced with Eunchan’s perfectly logical argument, Wooyoung fell silent.
“Well, well. Are you upset?”
Eunchan spoke as though soothing a five-year-old child.
Wooyoung stared at him incredulously.
Then shook his head.
“You saying that while still speaking politely feels weird.”
He muttered it under his breath.
Unfortunately for him, Eunchan heard every word.
“What feels weird?”
“……”
Apparently he couldn’t bring himself to explain.
When Wooyoung clammed up again, Eunchan finally laughed.
“I told you before. We can get close without dropping formal speech. Anyway, let’s see what’s inside.”
Inside the box was a small earring.
A simple silver hoop.
No decorations.
No flashy design.
Honestly, Eunchan preferred it that way.
“Oh. This is nice.”
He smiled.
“Thank you. I’ll use it well.”
Wooyoung didn’t answer immediately.
“I’ll change into it as soon as we get back to the dorm.”
“Yes.”
Only then did Wooyoung respond.
For some reason, he suddenly seemed happier.
Maybe it was Eunchan’s imagination.
Still—
If someone was happy, that was a good thing.
Eunchan tucked the box into his bag and stretched.
“Good work at practice today.”
“You too.”
“Seriously. I worked really hard.”
When Eunchan joked, Wooyoung laughed as if he was hopeless.
The sound of their sneakers echoed softly down the street.
The response was becoming impossible to ignore.
Episode 1’s ratings had been disappointing.
But the people who watched it refused to let such a good drama disappear unnoticed.
They began aggressively recommending it online.
As a result, ratings gradually rose from Episode 2 onward.
By Episode 3, they had skyrocketed to 7.3%.
Clips and screenshots spread across online communities, attracting more and more viewers through word of mouth.
The most recent Episode 6 had already surpassed 10% viewership.
Reruns were performing well too.
Some clips uploaded online had exceeded one million views.
At this rate, it wasn’t difficult to predict that Episode 7 would rise even further.
Interest in the cast exploded alongside the drama’s popularity.
Search rankings for actor Park Yoonwoo, who played Lee Muhun, shot to first place.
Discussions erupted everywhere over who the true male lead was.
Each potential lead developed their own fanbase.
People passionately argued that their favorite was the real protagonist.
The cast’s visuals and acting were impressive.
But just as importantly, the drama itself was exceptionally well made.
A strong story.
Fast pacing.
No room for boredom.
Beautiful cinematography enhanced through meticulous color grading.
And while it used a Hwarang setting, the fact that it took place in a fictional kingdom made it even more appealing.
Rumors were already circulating that overseas distributors were continuously making offers for broadcasting rights.
“…That’s strange.”
However, Shim Eun-chan, one of the main characters of that spectacular reaction, tilted his head.
