Kim Si-a's Crisis and Kang Minhyuk's Wish
Our university, Seojin University, one of the top-ranked in the country.
Within it, the law department that gathers only the country's elite talents.
"Filgyu! Where are you off to today?! You've got plans to drink with the dance majors!"
"Sorry, sorry, but today is really important..."
"You idiot, what could be more important than this?!"
An infamous law department with a 9:1 gender imbalance, where the only women professors are so old their ages are impossible to guess.
Guys like him who can't even catch a whiff of a woman's scent or find any opportunity.
A drinking party with the goddess-level dance students is nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
But no one expected that the guy who would trample that once-in-a-lifetime chance under his own feet would show up.
'I, Han Pilgyu, the 32nd generation descendant of the prestigious Han clan from Gangneung, wouldn't care about some petty drinking party.'
That's right. For proud Han Pilgyu of the Gangneung Han clan, those things hold no importance at all.
"Filgyu, you're here?"
"Senior, have we started?"
"Not yet. Come on, put this on quick..."
The place Han Pilgyu ran to on a whim after skipping the goddess drinking party was his senior's house.
That senior, Byungpil Lee, a 4th-year law student at Seojin University's law department who only goes there to study.
The son of the famous lawyer Lee Jinpyeong, who works for the country's top law firm, Lien Kim.
'This senior really has a screw loose.'
He'd always thought no one was crazier than him since birth, but this guy topped even him.
'Is this... not going too far?'
A pink T-shirt printed with the face of some woman.
A design that made you feel embarrassed just looking at it, enough to flush your face.
After a moment of hesitation, Han Pilgyu decided and boldly put it on.
'For noona Si-a, is this much embarrassment? I can handle it!'
Yes... for the goddess, Han Pilgyu would do anything.
He'd abandon a drinking party with goddesses or a week's worth of assignments if he wanted.
And this level of embarrassment? It was nothing to him at all.
"Perfectly suited on you, Filgyu..."
"High praise, senior!"
"Then everyone take your seats."
The people gathered here weren't just him and senior Byungpil.
Several others as well.
Students from Seojin University who had fallen hard for actress Kim Si-a, just like him.
They all stared at their phones with incredibly serious faces, wearing the exact pink T-shirt printed with Kim Si-a's face.
"Has a reply arrived from that person...?"
"Not yet. It's the premiere day today, and that person is probably super busy right now."
That person was a tremendously great being who connected the goddess and us.
Han Pilgyu, who had only recently joined this group, hadn't known much before.
But from what the seniors said, because of that person...
They'd been able to obtain Kim Si-a's videos and various beneficial materials.
Even the panty video of the goddess that had made him feel good countless times, without that person he never would have been able to keep it.
"Don't worry though. From all the analysis so far, that person accurately grasps fans' needs."
The man who casually adjusted his glasses, looking like a typical nerd.
This guy was the deepest shadow of Seojin University's law department, the No. 2 of the Sia-baragi.
A self-proclaimed Kim Si-a expert who supposedly knew nothing about her.
'If he says it like that, I can feel safe...'
One dream he had for this fanatic group called the Sia-baragi.
It was to meet the goddess in person just once.
Especially for Han Pilgyu, the 32nd generation descendant of the Gangneung Han clan, that desire burned intensely.
'It's definitely... definitely the comment noona wrote.'
- Kim Si-a... has everything, face, body... but I, Han Pilgyu, the 32nd generation descendant of the Gangneung Han clan, don't have her.
- Filgyu, noona's pussy is so delicious... sorry I can't please you~ ^^
It looked like just a simple fishing comment.
But the excitement he felt when that comment appeared was enormous, enough to make him ejaculate several times that day.
Well... he didn't want to do anything to her.
'I just... just wanted to confirm it was really the goddess who wrote that comment that excited me.'
"Alright, everyone put your phones away and focus."
As senior Byungpil's heavy voice rang out,
As he said, everyone put their phones down and began focusing on the massive screen in front of them.
Even Han Pilgyu, who had been imagining the seductive comment the goddess sent him...
"Only 10%... only 10%... let's try surpassing that."
The wish of everyone gathered here and the dream of every Sia-baragi member.
Even though our goddess had been the center of all attention recently,
The expert predictions that 10% viewership was difficult still dominated.
'For this typical romantic comedy, 10% is tough...'
No actor proven in acting, and no actor with huge viewership power either.
Just a crazy-beautiful actress who recently made news and a rookie writer who participated in several well-made works.
The only weapons this drama had were exactly those two things.
Even as a non-expert, it looked extremely difficult to exceed 10% with just that.
"Just average..."
"Yeah, a bit disappointing..."
The bland acting of the lead actors and the classic triangle romance with added melodrama.
But this unremarkable drama began dramatically capturing people's eyes from the middle of the first episode.
".. Shit!"
The elegant, dignified face that alone grabbed all attention just by appearing,
And her aura so graceful and refined it was unbelievable.
[Hello. I'm Kim Yumi! You've heard of me, right?]
As Kim Si-a's face appeared on screen with a cheeky greeting, lowering the sunglasses she was wearing.
The drama that had been average started flowing with new life, like it had been infused with breath.
"Hyung, is Kim Si-a some chaebol third-generation or something?"
"No, I heard she's from some backwater village, no famous name at all..."
"Really, so that's all acting?"
"I didn't know either..."
I never thought Kim Si-a could act that well...
An actor known only for her face, Kim Si-a.
Of course, her audition video had given some expectations, but that was just a short clip of a few minutes.
The general opinion on her as a mainstream actress was still a question mark—whether she could perform at that level over the long run of the drama.
[How much longer do I have to live to meet that person?]
But Kim Si-a pulled it off perfectly.
The arrogant, lovable chaebol young lady.
She dispelled everyone's worries in one blow and firmly imprinted it in people's minds.
Actress Kim Si-a wasn't just a pretty face; she was a person who could act that well.
***
[Lovely Lady surpasses 17% in just 2 weeks of airing!]
[Is Kim Si-a, with her impressive momentum, crowned Advertising Queen this year?]
[CM President Lee Hyun-im says seeing Kim Si-a feels like seeing her old self... trending.]
Articles, advertising requests, and frantic variety show offers began pouring in about Kim Si-a.
Lovely Lady, which had started with a weak 9.6% as a weak wind, swallowed up the entire Korean entertainment industry in exactly two weeks.
The drama called Lovely Lady.
'If this continues, I won't even know what percentage it'll hit by the end of the broadcast...'
20% was already in the bag, and the dream of 30% was beginning to appear.
If so, the title of best actress in her 20s that Sa-rang had would belong to our Si-a noona.
In other words, our Si-a noona would truly stand at the peak of the stars.
"Hey, congratulations Chief Manager. You turned this around into a top performer in half a year?"
"No. It's all thanks to Si-a noona doing her part."
"Hah, stop pretending to be humble~ I know what you've been doing..."
"Eh?"
A smile from CEO Lee Jong-seok floated over, making his heart drop suddenly.
'He didn't suspect, right?'
Her relationship with Ji-hye, the Choi Min-hyuk incident... and Ju Hye-ryeong's blackmail.
Among those, the only thing the CEO knew was that I had anticipated the Choi Min-hyuk drug incident would explode.
Since I'd done many things behind his back without telling him, I was genuinely a bit nervous.
"Ig'yeon the reporter praised you so much~ Smart and hardworking..."
"Ah..."
She was close to Ji-hye, so of course she knew Lee Jong-seok.
Probably Ji-hye reporter had contacted him and said something about me.
"Ig'yeon said she sees you as a really picky person, and she's been praising you nonstop all day."
"Ah, haha, thank you, Reporter Ig'yeon."
"And that whole Lovely Lady thing, you pushed it alone, didn't you? The company and external people were all against it..."
It was true.
When the drama was suggested, everyone, including company people and outsiders, had voiced opposition.
Even at the broadcast station, the opinion dominated that why bother fighting so hard to get into a rejected work...
"Come on, tell me. Hyung said it— if I make Kim Si-a a top star, I'll grant one wish..."
The memory came back. The bet I'd made when I received full authority over Kim Si-a.
If I lost, I'd stay with the company forever; if I won, I'd have one wish granted.
Although not that long had passed, it felt like an eternity.
'My wish... my wish...'
Well, my wish could only be one more thing, right?
I slowly leaned toward CEO Lee Jong-seok and, with a very serious expression, spoke about my wish.
