The scene in which “Hotel Deluna” Yeo Jin-gu burst IU’s “real-life laughter” with a surprise ad-lib in the drama is drawing small attention.

In the 11th episode of tvN’s “Hotel Deluna,” which aired on Thursday, drew attention when she was spotted bursting into actual laughter, not acting, during a conversation between Koo Chan-sung (Yeo Jin-gu) and Jang Man-wol (IU) who went to eat rice cake soup.

Ku Chan-seong visited the famous “Jorangi Tteokguk restaurant” where Kim Joon-hyun visited to soothe Jang Man-wol’s mood. Jang Man-wol was so happy that he even wore round earrings suitable for the concept of Zorangi tteokguk.

Later, amid a tteokguk eating contest, Ku Chan-sung drew a burst of laughter from IU by telling Jang Man-wol, “I’ll eat all this rice cake soup and even its earrings.” It was an ad-lib that was not in the script, and the scene shows IU barely tolerates the instant laughter that pops out of the real world and almost spits out rice cake soup.

This god almost became a pleasant NG, but the scene remained more natural than any other god because of the realistic smile the two exchanged. After the show, viewers also praised Yeo for her quickness, saying, “I think I’m an ad lib in an earring” and “IU’s smile was real.”

A source from the drama told the Sportby News on Wednesday that the line “will even eat the earrings” is Yeo Jin-gu’s ad-lib “It’s a scene where the actors actually laughed,” he said. “The first part was in the script, but the back part was in the script, and it was more fun because of the ad-libs.”

In addition, Hotel Deluna is rumored to have many other ad-libs hidden while viewers are not aware of it. Instead of going as far as 100 percent scripted, the scenes of actors and actresses making them small in the field are making viewers more interesting.

Meanwhile, “Hotel Deluna” has continued to break its own record by surpassing the 10.4 percent viewership mark (based on Nielsen Korea’s nationwide price-earning households) in its 12th episode.
