Episode 138
“…It’s over.”
Aetami, who had been staring blankly at Yeomga just moments before, muttered. The moment she felt her fine hairs standing on end, goosebumps spread across her entire body.
“Right now everyone’s reaction is-.”
Aetami refreshed her phone to check the community reactions.
“Huh?”
[♨The Occult Boom is Coming Coming Gimyodam Episode 1 Reactions♨][9999]
“This is insane. Really.”
In those few seconds, the community had exploded. Community reactions belong to the drama fans.
“The drama fans have definitely taken the bait!”
So the remaining target is the general public.
Aetami realized this wasn’t the time to be lying around. She quickly got out of bed and sat down at her desk.
“Phew…”
Yeomga’s entrance scene, cute Seoryeong’s “how much is my hairpin worth” whining scene, Heo Iya’s fraud scene with the old man, the scene of blowing ash from her palm, and the “I saved you from dying” scene, and finally Jeongan’s death and Yeomga’s curse scene.
“There’s so much to capture.”
Click-.
Aetami gripped her mouse and opened her mouth.
“Time to start promoting.”
Her hands were busy capturing screenshots from Episode 1. As soon as she uploaded them, the retweet speed was extraordinary. Quote tweets kept coming non-stop.
Now the intense training begins! Ah, at the young age of eleven, he passed the special examination with a third-place rank in the military section! At thirteen, he achieved first place in the civil service examination!…
This really sounds like pansori lol it has that folk tale vibe ㅜ the pacing is insane, I keep going back and forth between trembling and laughing by myself
︎˪Are you really sure you’re alone at home? Check under your blanket before sleeping 🙂
︎˪Ah please stop
Everyone wanted to talk about .
Gulp…
Aetami swallowed her saliva.
“Right, the gallery!”
Aetami quickly entered the Minor Gallery.
* * *
Click- click- click-.
IP 85.152, who had inadvertently become the gallery manager because the foolish drama fans didn’t bother to properly create a minor gallery, clicked her mouse tirelessly without knowing fatigue.
She had long since erased tomorrow’s work from her mind.

[Teacher Noh Jeongyeon… please must be revived. How can that small thing block Yeomga? Looks like she can barely survive on her own]
[Pointing out the really insane directing moments in Tale of the Nine Tailed – might be just me who relates lol]
Even drama fans who hadn’t expected much from a fusion historical drama had gathered together.
The footsteps going in and out of Daejeon and the palace scenery, direction that appropriately used shadows and light, small devices showing it was a fictional world.
“There’s already an overflow of things to analyze, right?”
Drama fans were as serious as detectives investigating unsolved cases. Even when watching the same video, they were different from general viewers.
The volume of sound, the gestures of characters, the angle of cups, even foreshadowing for future events. They couldn’t sleep from excitement.
-ㅇㅇ(175.208) Ah seriously I wish tomorrow would come quickly, I’m crazy excited and really want to watch episode 2 soon
ㄴㅇㅇ (169.211) Yeomga said they appeared in your dream to let you know 🙂
ㄴㅇㅇ(175.208) Don’t do it, damn it
No, they couldn’t sleep. Everyone’s pounding hearts wouldn’t calm down from speculating about Episode 2’s content and anticipating the story that would unfold.
“But why are posts going up so fast?”
IP 85.152, who had devoted her life to theater and musicals, was diligent in managing featured posts. Posts had been going up all night.
“Don’t tell me… at this rate, won’t there be an unmanageable amount of posts by tomorrow?”
IP 85.152 was swept up in strange excitement while gripping her mouse. This was the first drama that made her anticipate the next day this much.

“Wow!!! Totally! Huge success!!!”
This was the filming set in Namyangju. The faces of the team who watched Episode 1 together were glowing. Undeniable joy could be felt.
The moment when all the fragmented scenes smoothly connected into one and appeared in the world – the exhilaration of that moment was something only those who knew could understand.
Everyone present on the film set felt thrilling joy.
“Jjang Director, when will the ratings come out?”
“Oh, Junhyeok! We can check tomorrow morning. Geez, this person is so impatient~.”
Kwon Junhyeok’s face reddened at Jjang Director’s teasing.
“Why? Does our Junhyeok want to quickly beat ?”
Kang Hanseong, the martial arts director from Action Academy who was present on set, poked at Kwon Junhyeok. Junhyeok hesitated and said.
“No… hyung, that’s not it.”
“Oh? Is it okay to lose?”
“We have to win…”
Seeing Kwon Junhyeok speak quietly as if embarrassed, the staff burst into laughter. Jjang Director asked the protagonist of this drama, Yeoreum.
“How about you, Yeoreum! How was Episode 1!”
Yeoreum smiled brightly while replying to messages coming to her phone.
“Really, I came out so cute and well… I dedicate this glory to all of you. team. The best team. Fifteen hundred stars.”
Everyone applauded that shameless answer. But Yeoreum was sincere.
“Who am I? Han Yeoreum who showed perfect Seoryeong from Episode 1.”
A large hand appeared in front of Yeoreum, who was so proud inside that she boldly expressed that pride out loud. It was Jjang Director’s hand.
“Alright! Then let’s do our best with the remaining filming while fighting!”
On top of that, the hands of the Lighting Director, Sound Director, Kwon Junhyeok, Assistant Director, and martial arts director Kang Hanseong stacked one by one.
“I’m fine.”
It was Yeoreum who grabbed the hand of Geum Bitkang, who had her arms crossed.
“Oh, Professor! Professor can’t be left out. Come on! Our Bitkang Professor too.”
“I said I’m fine, really.”
Like that, Geum Bitkang and Han Yeoreum’s hands overlapped on top of the gathered hands. Each other’s body heat connected. Heat was transmitted between the hands of those who connected fragmented scenes into one.
“Alright, on one-two-three, let’s say ‘ be a huge hit!’ Let’s go!”
One, two, three! Everyone shouted in unison and pressed down as if pressing their support firmly into their palms.
“!”
“Be a huge hit!”
Hands rose powerfully toward the sky. Each person’s joy scattered in the air. It was the middle of the night, long after sunset.
The lights standing on the filming set illuminated them as brightly as day.

The next morning. The world was buzzing.

From the trailer everyone was like Geum Bitkang Geum Bitkang but when we actually saw it, it was even more incredible so everyone set the comment section on fire lololol

-I hold my breath every time Geumbitgang appears ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜㅠㅠㅜㅠㅠ
The buzz that devoured episode 1 was precisely Geum Bitkang’s insane acting ability. Everyone cheered for the strange character portrayal that overwhelmed audiences beyond the screen.
Writer, actor, director. The three elements that make a work. All of them meshed together flawlessly. Viewers could feel it just from episode 1.
This drama must be watched to completion.
It had the level of absorption that grabbed you by the collar and dragged you along.
Of course, the reaction to Yeoreum was also extraordinary.
[Broadcasting stations need to check Han Yeoreum’s family registry urgent]
She definitely has fraud priors… smells like a professional
-Anonymous(175.208) This crazy bastard is claiming to be a current employee lololol
-ㅇㅇ (175.192) I actually reported it to the police. If the show gets cancelled starting next week, it’s thanks to me
LOL (169.211) Damn, they better not cancel the show hahaha
Thanks to handling long dialogue without difficulty and her quite convincing male disguise, Yeoreum’s presence wasn’t buried by Yeomga.
Memes originating from were being created one by one. JC ENM wasn’t going to miss this. Fingers moved busily from morning.
Clack- clackety-clack-.
“Manager Hong! We’re spreading the Han Yeoreum fraud priors meme now-.”
“Oh, before that, upload it to the official InTube with that as the clip title too. ‘Han Yeoreum’s spectacular crime scene that requires background checks’.”
JC ENM’s PR team worked overtime after overtime after overtime, yet no one showed signs of fatigue.
They could feel the firewood they’d stacked up properly burning.
“Company N contacted us wanting to renew the contract!”
“How much did they raise it?”
“One big bill.”
“First tell them we’ll think about it, then keep spreading articles! Make them anxious.”
“Hmm, the contract expires soon though.”
“That’s why they’ll be more desperate. Look at the articles Company N is putting out now. From start to finish it’s all Han Yeoreum! Han Yeoreum! All Han Yeoreum.”
Company N, which had Yeoreum under a modeling contract, started spreading press releases as soon as episode 1 finished airing. They seemed to have caught on too.
For hours, dominated real-time trends.
“Check ‘s viewership ratings from yesterday!”
“It came out to 13.7!”
Manager Hong smiled smoothly with eyes thin as thread.
“Right… Now the war begins.”
‘ chase against had begun.
Manager Hong had shot the arrow up.

This was SBC Drama Department. Through the nameplate reading ‘New Media Contents Department’, everyone was sensing that ‘ public reaction was extraordinary.
“Director, what should we do?”
“What do you mean what should we do? Quickly check clip reactions and spread articles!”
Now that JC ENM was being followed by the three terrestrial broadcasting companies also putting effort into InTube channel expansion, MBS boasted the most subscribers after JC ENM.
SBC regretted being a step late but was grinning about their plan to sweep up subscribers with .
They hadn’t made their department name ‘New Media Contents Department’ to look a bit more impressive than MBS’s ‘Web Contents Department’ for nothing.
“Before climbs up!”
SBC had built walls with buzz bricks for war and even stockpiled press release bullets securely.
Even if shot arrows and spears, they already had existing viewers positioned in front.

“How are the articles from sponsoring brands?”
“The reaction is good. Especially every outfit Ju Junseo wore is selling out.”
“Okay. Run summer travel destinations as filming locations again. Focus on Yoosta card news!”
It was SBC’s anticipated work. Their writer-director-cast trio was just as good as .
No, to be precise about each element, not only was it based on a web novel but the writer’s previous work did quite well, and Director Na of had more name value than Jjang Director who had been rolling around directing web dramas, and above all the male lead was a veteran actor.
“Geum Bitkang is Geum Bitkang, but does it make sense for a rookie actress to compete with Yu Jiuk? Huh?”
SBC’s drama director sighed. The new media staff member who uploaded clips to all of SBC Drama Department’s SNS accounts tilted their head.
“Huh… This seems like it could totally become a disaster…?”
At the ominous sound of 50 billion flying away, the SBC director shouted again.
“This is ridiculous…!”
“Look at this.”
The staff member held up the screen to the SBC director with a troubled expression.
