Chapter 62 OST Release

h. 。while MBC is 'The Music Festival', broadcast live on the last day of the year, December 31st. 。Three television stations' New Year's Eve parties annually invite popular singers and trending idol...The recording went very smoothly and we finished all the recording work in just a few days. Both the audio and the footage were sent back to CJ for post-production. The two OSTs are scheduled to be released on August 28th and September 4th respectively.

After finishing the OST recording, I returned to the set to continue working. Lately, the filming schedule has been quite demanding, with work often extending into the early hours of the morning.

However, because the TV drama was a huge hit, tvN and CJ were both very happy. They also improved the treatment of the crew members, at least raising the level of their food.

The crew's enthusiasm was also high, with everyone working hard every day.

The past two days, Apk's Park Ji-won and Yoon Puma also joined the cast. They will be making a cameo appearance in "Reply 1997" as the mothers of the main characters when they were young. It's a fun little easter egg.

These two people are wearing clothes from the 1960s and 1970s, with hairstyles from that era. They act rudely while eating, speaking in dialect with each mouthful. Their whole image is completely different from their idol status, and it's quite funny to look at.

Their attitude towards Ji Jingyuan remained unchanged, they were still laughing and chatting politely, it seemed that Zheng En Di's mouth was really tight, or maybe Sun Na Eun had strengthened her security measures.

The two left the set after two days, they didn't have much of a role to begin with, and Apk still had quite a few activities.

On the 18th, it was Jung Eun Ji's birthday, and the cast held a small birthday party for her.

The crew gathered in a circle, clapping and singing a celebratory song. Then the lights went out, plunging them into darkness. From the shadows, Ji Chang Wook walked towards Jung Eun Chae, carrying a prepared cake with a lit candle.

The camera captured the entire process, which will be an important segment in the behind-the-scenes footage released later.

It's clear that Jung Eun-ji is truly excited. As Ji-sung carries the cake to her, she can't help but cry. Her chubby cheeks puff up, and she purses her lips while sniffing back tears.

But she quickly regained control of her emotions, wiping away the tears that remained with her hand, and stretching her lips into a wide smile, revealing her trademark mischievous eyes.

This change made Chi Jingyuan sigh in his heart. An artist in front of the camera can't reveal their true emotions, no matter what they must show their good side.

Next came the part where we took photos, blew out candles, and cut the cake. Everyone went along with it, wearing happy smiles on their faces.

Except for Park Kyung-won, who was directly hit in the face with a cake by Jeong Eun-ji.

I don't know if she's celebrating her birthday or just venting again.

The good thing is that it's almost morning now, and today's filming progress is almost complete. With no more scenes for Park Ji-won, even if his face was covered in cake, it wouldn't affect the rest of the shoot.

Jeong Eun-ji must have known this would happen.

The quality is too low.

While washing his face, Chi Jingyuan thought to himself.

……

During this time, Sun Na-eun is still frequently texting and calling Park Jeong-won. Their conversations are becoming more intimate with increasingly affectionate language and playful teasing.

However, the two haven't seen each other since last time on set.

Qi Jingyuan has been very busy with filming tasks lately. Unless his condition is excellent that day and the progress is fast, he usually has to film until 2 or 3 in the morning.

And he also has to take care of EXO-K's activities. Although there haven't been many music show stages these days, since the broadcast of "Reply 1997," male lead Park Bo Gum received a lot of attention, and K team also benefited from this popularity. Several commercial performances took advantage of this opportunity to contact them. As long as the price is right, the company accepts them all, making the previously stingy K team quite busy.

It is worth mentioning that EXO-K's commercial performance prices have always been average, lower than those of other male groups that debuted around the same time.

Besides, because the TV drama became popular, Park Kyung-won's personal activities have also increased. Apart from his most disliked interviews and similar schedules, there are also solo pictorials, personal radio show invitations, and so on.

He's been really busy lately, his feet haven't touched the ground. Even though Sun Na-eun mentioned it a few times, he couldn't spare any time.

Alternatively, he would rather have enough rest than stay up late after finishing filming and going out.

And even if he worked late and went to meet her in the middle of the night, she wouldn't come out of the dormitory.

It's still just that the favored have no fear.

The ninth and tenth episodes aired on August 21st, with an average and peak viewership of 3.9% and 4.9%, respectively. This is almost no increase compared to the previous two episodes aired.

The production team is a bit worried, but not too concerned because the current ratings have already exceeded everyone's expectations. Even if this rating remains until the end, this drama has already become a very successful television series.

And the OST "All For You" sung by Ji Chang Wook and Jung Eun Ji will be officially released on the 28th, the next broadcast. The production team is very confident in this song and believes that it will definitely boost the ratings at that time.

The production team was right as expected.

On August 28th, the part1 of the "Answer Me 1997 LOVESTORY" project was officially released. The single "All For You" topped all Korean music charts upon its release.

And the viewership for episodes 11 and 12, which continued to air in the evening, also saw a significant increase, reaching 4.3% and 5.2%, respectively. They are close to breaking tvN's all-time highest cable television ratings record.

And in the evening broadcast episode, the OST "AllForYou" was also played, which sparked the interest of many viewers who had never heard the song.

The release of the OST increased the popularity of the TV drama and significantly contributed to the ratings increase.

The broadcast of the television drama also similarly increased the popularity of the OST. With the heat of "Reply 1997," the song "All For You" firmly held the top spot on both the hourly and daily charts of major music source rankings, even surpassing Psy's "Gangnam Style," which went viral upon its release in July, for a period of time.

A good OST and a hot TV drama complement each other, achieving a synergistic effect.

After the broadcast of the episode on the 28th,

the entire drama

“Reply 1997” has almost reached its finale,
