Emerging on the top spot of iQIYI after four days of broadcast, Exclusive Fairytale is also garnering attention from international viewers.
Aside from that, a reaction video of SEVENTEEN members watching snippets of the drama made Wen Junhui want to escape as a result of embarrassment.
High school drama Exclusive Fairy Tale starring SEVENTEEN member Jun (also known as Wen Junhui (文俊辉)) and sweet girl Zhang Miaoyi (张淼怡) not only received lots of attention from fans – the drama also performed extremely well on iQIYI international’s site, emerging as the #1 show in nine countries in merely four days of broadcast.
This high school romance drama marks Wen Junhui’s first lead drama, and iQIYI specially arranged for him and other SEVENTEEN members Hoshi, THE8 (Xu Minghao (徐明浩)) and Dino to watch the highlights of the drama.
Wen Junhui was so shy that he wanted to leave the room even before the watch party commenced, but got pulled back by THE8 (Xu Minghao) and was forced to stay.
During the watch party, all of them except Wen Junhui stared hard at the screen and displayed shy expressions from time to time. Compared to Wen Junhui who has been avoiding eye contact and feeling embarrassed, the scenes of the four are super cute and funny.
Before the broadcast of the drama, Wen Junhui shared interesting stories between himself and the members. When the drama first started filming, the other 12 members sent flowers to congratulate him, and a member even sent him new shoes, with the intention of accompanying him by his side, all the way.
When he got together with the members after filming the drama, they took turns to ask him how he felt about filming all night. The SEVENTEEN members share a very close friendship where they can joke around with one another, so Wen Junhui has predicted their possible reactions.
He added with a smile that he hopes to unplug all the members’ cables and confiscate their mobile phones so that they could not watch the drama. He also felt like he would be the joke of the group for the rest of his life.
