*This contains spoilers and synopsis. *There is a making-of video on the Wowkorea page. The video is from start to finish.
This time, we will start with the production announcement. MC: Recently, idols have been appearing on TV series more and more, but first of all, Ryoun
Please tell us why you were initially cast. Director: I saw Ryoun's previous work and he was brilliant. After watching his previous work, I thought I would like to work with him.
And, out of all the young actors I've met recently, he seems to have the most passion for acting, so that's the reason.
Moderator: Ah, I see. Ryoun-san, you showed your passion.
You said you had experience as a trainee, but in your role this time you played the role of an idol trainee, Yoo Jin Woo. What do you think you have in common? Ryeoun: Actually, I myself have never been a trainee. (I only experienced it indirectly through my character.)
How was it?) Well... I think it was a little unsettling to have to pour your passion into each day without knowing what the future holds. But I admire the way they move forward in pursuit of their bright dreams.
I thought so. MC: Many trainees are working hard to achieve their dreams, so I think they could empathize with that. Ryeoun: Yes, that's right. ●Reactions of Korean netizens●
"His acting in "Shining Watermelon" was highly praised." "I watched the previous TV series." "I'm looking forward to Ryoun's future." "I'm looking forward to Ryoun's acting." ●Synopsis● "Namib
"Dreams of the Desert and the Sea" EP8 (viewership rating: 2.2%) is about Yoo Jin Woo (Ryeoun) and Soo Hyeon (Ko Hyun Jung), who transferred him to a major agency without a word.
After hearing Kris (Lee Ki Taek)'s threat to drop out of the audition using Soohyeon as an excuse,
Yoo Jin Woo, who appeared on the stage for the finals, sang a different song than the one he had been scheduled to sing. The performance, which was filled with his confused emotions and his own situation, sent shivers down the audience's spine, but it was not discussed beforehand.
Yoo Jin Woo, who returned home with Soo Hyeon and Jun Seok (Yoon Sang Hyun) feeling empty, remembers that he had helped Kris with driving in the past.
He confessed everything he had been hiding, including the accident and speculation that there were illegal drugs in the car. Soohyeon and Junseok responded by removing the obstacles that were holding Yoo Jinwoo's feet.
In particular, Soohyeon heard a proposal from a large management office to welcome Yoo Jinwoo, and was unable to organize the relationship with the broadcasting station as they wanted.
Of course, she met Kris and asked her to hide the fact that Yoo Jin Woo was involved in a traffic accident. Wanting to protect Yoo Jin Woo, whom she treated like a younger brother, Kris told Soohyeon that Yoo Jin Woo was driving a car.
He confessed that there was nothing in it, which relieved Soohyeon. While Yoo Jinwoo was being positioned as an audition star, Soohyeon decided to transfer Yoo Jinwoo to a large management office.
Hyun's heart was wavering little by little. She had grown close to Yoo Jin Woo while working with him and treating his wounds. However, Soo Hyeon had a son, Shim
Because Soohyeon had the absolute goal of buying a factory for JIN WOO (LEE JINWOO), she ended up unilaterally notifying Yoo JIN WOO of the transfer without any explanation.
Yoo Jin Woo was confused by the sudden news and while watching the adults exchanging contracts, he suddenly heard Soohyeon ask him to be his manager.
He set an unexpected condition. Soohyeon looked at him with confused eyes, but Yoo Jinwoo responded with a firm expression.
