'Dirt Potatoes' Kim Tae-ri's magic is really right..Doubles the ratings of 'Jeongnyeon' to enter the Korean National Theater Company ↑
The ratings doubled when Kim Tae-ri entered the Maeran Guk Theater Company.

In the second episode of tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Jungnyeon' (played by Choi Hyo-bi, directed by Jung Ji-in), Yoon Jeong-nyeon (Kim Tae-ri), who came to Seoul with only one dream of becoming a Gukgeuk actor, faced a series of crises as soon as she entered the Maeran Gukgeuk Company through an audition.

At the same time, the 2nd episode of 'Jeongnyeon' recorded an average of 8.9% of households in the metropolitan area and 10.0% of the highest ratings, breaking its own highest ratings and breaking double-digit ratings in two episodes. In addition, the national household standard also recorded an average of 8.2 percent and a maximum of 9.5 percent. The previous day's viewer rating of 'Jungnyeon', which started with a 4.8% rating, nearly doubled in one day. Amid the rise, both the Seoul metropolitan area and the nationwide household ratings topped the cable-general service at the same time.

After many twists and turns, Young-soo Lee, who was able to participate in the audition for the selection of new researchers for the Maeran National Theater Company, auditioned amid tension. Young-soo Lee, who ruined the dance test due to his injured shoulder, surprisingly stood out in acting. Kang, who was ordered to play his sadness, was completely immersed in his emotions thinking about his father, who died on the refuge, and just dropped tears, which was clearly seen among the other participants who literally 'acted' the sadness. As expected, the peak of the fire dragon was the sound. Young-soo Lee, who selected "Chuwol Man-jeong", dominated the atmosphere of the audition hall with a single sound, and Sobok (Rami-ran), who was judging the audition, recalled Chae Gong-sun (Lee Ga-eun), a pansori genius girl who was her childhood friend and made her feel intimidated. In fact, Sobok was a young student of Imjin (Kang Ji-eun), a famous pansori singer, who was visited by Gongseon's father and daughter in 1931.

Unexpectedly, the audition result of Young-soo was 'Pretty Acceptance'. I thought that the retirement age was due to dance, but there was a separate reason. Sobok called Young-soo separately and explained the real reason, saying, `If you accept me, all the Maeran members will think that you came in because of Moon Ok-kyung.' In addition, he convinced all Maeran members that the retirement age came in as a skill, not a halo of Moon Ok-kyung, during the grace period, saying, `I prove you on my own.' He stressed that he was not eligible to come into Maeran if he failed to do so. In addition, he asked the name of his mother, who was curious about the relationship between the retirement age and the public good, but he tilted his head at the words of the retirement age who answered 'Seoyongrye'.

Young-soo Lee, who was full of confidence in the sound, began his life as a national theater company with great momentum amid the keen interest of the Maeran members, including the Dong-Ao Green (Hyun Seung-hee) gang, who are jealous of him. In the meantime, Young-soo, who became close to his new friend Juran (Udabi), adapted to Maeran by learning from Juran about the national theater company's various aspects such as systematic practice system and discipline, sophisticated and talented artists, and fan culture.

Among them, he encountered Young-seo (Shin Ye-eun), who would become his fateful rival. Young-su was attracted by the exceptional sound coming from one side, and when he saw Young-seo practicing there, he realized that he was a frog in a well. In addition, Young-seo and Young-seo were called forward during the sound class and had a sound confrontation in front of the members, emerging as an official sound rival among the researchers. In response, Young-seo Lee reached out first in anticipation of being able to compete in good faith with Young-seo, but Young-seo drew the line. However, it was revealed that Young-seo was the roommate of Young-soo, and the strong relationship between the two added interest.

On the other hand, the green bonehead for the researcher's retirement age, which is drawing attention, has begun. Because the green did not properly deliver the research uniform to the old man, the old man, who could not wear a practice suit in class, was kicked out during class due to the disrespect of the old man. Young-soo Lee, who was very angry, questioned Green all about him, and Young-soo Lee provoked Young-soo and said, `If you get the script for auditioning for regular performances, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. Instead, if you don't get it, you'll admit that you came into the back of Moon Ok-kyung without any skills and go out on all fours from Maeran," and Young-soo accepted the bet. But this was Green's cheeky trick. The audition script managed by Doeng (Lee Se-young), a senior, was not available to new researchers, and Doeng, who values strictness and discipline, gave the script to Young-soo, who had just entered the Gukgeuk Company.

The retirement age fell into a single head, but he did not give up, and visited Doeng and asked for an audition script. As expected, Doeng became angry with the wild new researcher's demands. At this time, he argued that it was unfair not to even give him an audition because he was a newbie, which surprisingly became a must-win method for Doeng, a principle-based person. Doeng said he would consult with the head of the team about giving him a script for auditioning regular performances if he showed his skills on the stage of the charity performance 'Chunhyangjeon', which moved on to the research student charity performance in 10 days.

The research student's performance was being prepared under the leadership of Youngseo. However, Young-soo, who just became a research student, doesn't even have a role. Young-seo was asked to play a role by Young-seo, who surprised everyone by passing the main role of 'Bangja'. In fact, it was his first time performing in a national drama, and Young-soo, who took on the heavy role of Bang-ja, literally practiced properly by performing 'reading acting' without any interpretation of the character. In response, Youngseo humiliated Young-soo by repeating the words "again", and when Young-seo became emotional, he showed off his self-indulgent acting as if to kill Young-soo. Youngseo's giving Young-soo the role of Bangja was not an opportunity, but it meant to be 'know your fountain'.

Since then, the retirement age and Youngseo have collided like a fire, exploding tension. Young-seo said, `I'm not confident. I can go out now.' You're stupid because you're giving me a big role. "Choose. Whether you were disgraced on the stage or you could understand the topic now and step down..." he said, stimulating the retirement age. In the end, Youngseo snorted in front of the gallant Young-soo and inserted a dagger saying, `There is only an ending to the audience booing and leaving the stage,' and Young-seo added a dagger saying, `Look at the man with his eyes open. How do I do it?' he gritted his teeth.

However, because he couldn't understand 'Bangja-like', Young-soo visited Okgyeong with the feeling of holding the Dong-A line. At this time, Ok-kyung gave an unexpected answer to Young-soo, who expressed frustration. Ok-kyung handed over 'Regular Performance Audition Script' and urged him to skip the research student charity performance and prepare for regular performance auditions. And then "I didn't bring you to Seoul to be on the research stage. I brought him here because I thought he was a male actor who would compete for my place. You're going to get to a higher position faster than anyone else. You just have to do what I tell you to do." He shook the mind of Young-soo with sweet words. While everyone is accusing him of not being qualified, attention is being paid to what choice the retirement age will make after receiving Ok-kyung's tempting offer to take a shortcut to a Gukgeuk actor.
