The episode started with the scene of a older Ren going through his life.
Him waking up in the early morning, running to be on time for the office and him getting chewed out by his superiors.
The public response was really heated when people saw Ren's old look.
It was not just about his appearance, his body language and his expressions were of a tired middle aged man.
The comments on the internet were really heated since the moment the drama started to air.
-Oh my god!! Xin Ren's old look is really great.
-It's like he really is a middle aged man. I wonder how he plays it so well.
-Hey, isn't his acting really good?
-Yeah, it is. I don't find any vibes of his old performance in there, it's like he's a different person.
-Lol. The people who wanted to see him make a fool of himself must be hiding somewhere right now.
-Let's see the drama till the end until we decide. It's just the start.
While watching the drama, Ren was also monitoring the comments on the internet. Xiao Rin besides him was also occasionally glancing at his laptop.
Overall, the start was really good and the drama also started to escalate quickly.
Soon, the scene in which the character or Ren, Rei found out about his first love murder came on the screen.
It was a emotional scene since Ren had to show that he didn't care much when he heard that news while holding his emotions.
Later, he had to pretend to go to the bathroom to let out his emotions. The scene playing out on the screen was really emotional.
Rei(Ren) was sitting in the toilet not saying anything as he holded a handkerchief in his hands.
There were tears in his eyes but he was not letting them out but because of that, his eyes were red.
He lowered his head as an expression of nostalgia appeared on his face but he just made his pain more.
In the end, he just punched the bathroom door as tried his hardest not to let out his emotions but all the emotions were visible to the public by his eyes and the expression of pain on his face.
In the end, the scene ended with Ren exiting his office and going to a bar to drink out his sorrows.
Everyone in the restaurant applauded when they saw the scene. It was a emotional scene and Ren acted perfectly in it.
The comments on the internet were also countless as various people were strolling the online forums while watching the broadcast.
-I didn't knew Xin Ren can make that kind of expression.
-This scene is really sad!!
-This is called showing emotions from eyes. He literally killed the scene.
-I wonder what's going to happen next.
-I never thought I would be this interested in watching this drama.
-Yeah, I am kind of invested in the drama now. Xin Ren acting is really great.
This way, the interest of the drama grew in people and as more and more people started watching the broadcast, the ratings were quickly going up.
The drama was also progressing well. The next scenes saw Ren having a conversation with a bar manager, fighting with some delinquents and going towards the place where he had made a wish with his first love.
As the drama was progressing the end, the people who were worried for the ratings started to enjoy the drama.
'We had made a amazing drama.'
That was the feeling all the people in the room have.
The cinematography and the acting was really great and although the first episode heavily emphasised on Ren, he proved himself as the male lead perfectly.
This way, the first episode was coming to its end. The end was the scene Ren had originally auditioned with.
The scene in which he will scold the stars in his drunk state.
Although his acting in the audition was great, he was also great in the actual scene and his appearance as a middle aged man greatly intensified the scene.
As the scene was playing out on the screen, everyone eyes were stuck to the screen. Not one person was talking as they were engrossed in the scene.
"I lost her, dammit. The woman who I thought I hated but still loved, I, I lost her, damn. I, I...can't be with her."
"I, I, she died. She died without me knowing. I only found out now, I was not even able to visit her funeral. I am feeling the worst right now. No, I am the worst."
"But you know there is someone more worse than me, it's you all. You bastards, people say you fulfil the wishes but you, you never fulfilled mine."
As the screen was progressing on the screen, everyone happiness in the restaurant was also growing.
Especially Ren, he was feeling really strange as he saw himself play Rei on the screen. He had spent a entire life wanting to become an actor and now, he was seeing himself play the lead in a drama.
It was a really special feeling.
As the scene started to end, Rei(Ren) on the screen started to furiously scold the stars and the finally, the scene ended with him getting hit by a truck.
There was a black screen after that but he soon showed him waking up in his high school days.
The episode ended with that and enthusiastic applause broke out in the restaurant after that.
"I was expecting it to be good but it was really too damn good."
"Ah, I think it was better than «College dreams», I saw last week."
"Yeah, the acting was too good."
In between the applause, several actors, managers and staff members congratulated Ren on his performance.
There were also some managers congratulating White bear as he was Ren's manager.
Amidst this commotion, CEO Wang suddenly shouted.
"What's the rating? I want to know the ratings!!"
He was shouting at a staff member who was on the phone. He was probably calling the technical team for the ratings.
Everyone in the restaurant also became silent when they heard the CEO's shout. Knowing the ratings was far more important than anything here.
"What?? 1 percent!!"
The man on the phone shouted and frantic response began.
"Is it 1%??"
"That's good for the first broadcast."
The people said as they rejoiced. It was a good rating to start with but the man was still on the phone.
"No, it's not 1%, how much is it? 2, no what are you saying?? I can't hear you!!"
"It's not 1%, then how much is it?"
"Hey, you bastard. Quickly tell us the ratings."
"Yeah, we will die of anxiety here."
"I will kill you!!"
Curses, threats and peanuts was thrown towards the man and the man shouted when he was hit by a peanut.
"It's damn noisy here. Wait up for a minute!!"
The man said as he started taking on the phone and after a while, he finally put the phone down and looked at everyone with wide eyes as he shouted.
"The rating is —"
