Episode 161

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The drama fans went absolutely crazy.

 

Since TVM uploaded clip videos almost daily and even edited and uploaded cute behind-the-scenes videos, they lived 24 hours a day thinking about .

hit 1 million views whenever they uploaded clips. Among drama fans, it was known as ‘all-back’.

 

In galleries there were high-quality captures and GIFs and analysis posts, browsing SNS had highlight clips, and entering the official channel had behind-the-scenes videos.

 

‘Is this what drama fandom is originally like?’

 

The office worker, who liked watching dramas but had never seriously visited galleries before, thought drama fandom was as fun as idol fandom.

 

‘And the still cuts are really good…’

 

Still cuts that weren’t inferior to official photo shoots also contributed to drama fandom. With high-quality official photos pouring out, it was natural for wallpaper distribution to increase.

 

‘I hope I can really visit the filming set later.’

 

Of course, that wouldn’t happen. The office worker watched live while especially admiring the beautiful hanbok.

 

And on Monday after the weekend, the office worker’s wish would come true sooner than expected.

 

“We need to go on a business trip, to Namwon where we went last time…”

 

It was when everyone was staring at the copy machine, plants, nearby partitions with dead fish eyes, subtly not wanting to go on the business trip.

 

“There’s that famous drama these days, right? It’s the filming location…”

 

Hanbok and famous drama? The office worker unconsciously raised her hand.

 

“?”

 

“Oh yes, that’s right! That drama.”

 

“I’ll! Go!”

 

She shouldn’t have asked or questioned the schedule. To be able to see that right before her eyes. The office worker’s eyes blazed like crazy.

Dokgo Min was at the filming set today too with a heavy camera around her neck.

 

“Um, student? I keep saying this, but I’d like you to take a few more shots of our Junhyeok too…”

 

“Is he with Han Yeoreum?”

 

“….”

 

“He’s not.”

 

Dokgo Min had somehow become one of the filming set staff. Going back in time, her memory was a bit hazy.

 

Because Jjang Director wasn’t really Dokgo Min’s type, so she forgot about it.

 

However, what was certain was that somehow after talking a bit, they had an in-depth discussion about Eastern beauty, Jjang Director confined Dokgo Min in his studio feeding her bagels, and while talking about filming concepts losing track of time…

 

“Ah, when is Han Yeoreum coming…”

 

She got caught.

 

Dokgo Min ended up with the duty of taking still cuts under the name of art department staff. A woman called Manager Ma had heard about Dokgo Min before filming and said they needed to secure her for the Blu-ray…

 

Hundreds of still cuts accumulated like photo shoots. However, Dokgo Min had a fatal flaw.

 

“Good girl. Yeoreum will come after the stage greeting later, student. So. How about we pay some attention to Junhyeok too? It would be nice if you took many solo shots of Junhyeok too.”

 

“Sigh… The life of a genius is hard.”

 

What she wanted to shoot and what she didn’t want to shoot were too clear.

 

After the gut ritual scene they filmed recently, Dokgo Min’s Han-Yeoreum-only disease became even more serious.

 

“I’m sorry…”

 

Kwon Junhyeok, who had lived a life surrounded by countless telephoto lenses, was greatly shocked by the first-time treatment of ‘please crop out Kwon Junhyeok’ and became even more intimidated whenever he went near Dokgo Min.

 

“Nothing to be sorry about. Hmm, by the way, do you have any bread? I need to eat bread before taking photos.”

 

“No. I don’t have bread right now, I’m sorry. I’ll go buy some right away…”

 

“Okay. Bring it back warm.”

 

Dokgo Min developed a new skill. She turned everyone who approached within 3 meters of her into bread shuttles.

 

Initially there were some unfavorable looks wondering who that was, but after seeing Dokgo Min’s work, everyone automatically brought bread.

 

Dokgo Min, who was watching Kwon Junhyeok trudging off to get bread, awkwardly made eye contact with those looking at her. Jjang Director welcomed them with delight.

 

“Oh my! You came! Thank you so much for coming all this way.”

 

“Not at all. We’ve been wanting to visit the filming location ourselves…”

 

They looked like boring people at first glance.

 

Dokgo Min, who was trying to get away from them, saw something and stopped in place.

 

“This friend is in charge of our still cuts, originally an even more amazing artist. I begged and pleaded to get her to the filming set… Excuse me?”

 

Jjang Director, who was introducing Dokgo Min, paused for a moment. Dokgo Min walked up to a woman without asking and grabbed the hand holding her phone.

 

“My photo!”

 

It was set as wallpaper with a photo Dokgo Min had taken.

 

“Hello. I’m a representative from the custom hanbok brand ‘Taerandan’ cooperating with Seoul Hanbok Promotion Center…”

 

“Yeah yeah. Shall we go over there and talk? I didn’t know there would be someone I could communicate with so well. Come on, let’s go.”

 

The poor hanbok company office worker was picked by Dokgo Min and dragged away. Kwon Junhyeok, who came back with warmed bread, looked around.

 

“Hyung… I guess I’m really not good…”

 

“No, Junhyeok. Don’t cry! Your makeup will smudge!”

 

“There was personal work by Myeong Jeha, when I looked it up… What if I don’t get many solo shots in the Blu-ray. Well, but since I’m being carried in acting, I guess I have no choice but to be carried in photos too… Sob… Even now when I close my eyes to sleep, that gut ritual scene comes to mind and I wonder what I’m even doing…”

 

Kwon Junhyeok hugged the warmly heated bread and cried.

 

And a few hours later, Kwon Junhyeok would receive a once-in-a-lifetime shot from that very Dokgo Min.

Since I came to the provinces for location shooting, I went around doing stage greetings. Following the guards’ guidance into the movie theater, all the audience members welcomed me as if they had been waiting only for this moment.

 

I should be used to it by now, but I can’t get used to it.

 

“You’re so pretty-!”

 

“I came to see it for the third time.”

 

“You’ll be in 2 too, right?”

 

The questions thrown at me kept increasing. The camera lenses pointed at me, and my name circulating on the internet too.

 

I feel like I’m riding on some current, like riding a water flow.

 

‘Now ten million is right around the corner…’

 

The movie had already surpassed 9 million. The prediction that it would reach ten million after the weekend was taken for granted.

 

 

 

[ terrifying box office speed… Will it be the shortest time to ten million ever?]

 

The amazing box office speed of , which opened on July 24th, continues to be a hot topic. is a buddy film between an elite detective and a physical detective, providing audiences with familiar taste through light comedy codes and appropriately twisted clichés… (omitted) Having written the shortest record up to 9 million, attention is focused on whether it can consecutively earn the title of ‘shortest’ to ten million.

 

 

 

Not only were articles pouring out daily, but also InTube plot introduction videos, and endlessly uploaded #FasterThanLaw hashtags. The public’s attention was extraordinary.

 

And above all, what helped the movie’s box office success were ‘proof shots’.

 

 

 

[Collected all the goods tickets but why is the quality this good]

 

There was a gallery user who collected them all on opening day but I’m not that extreme lol I went every weekend to watch and finally collected these gorgeous tickets.. The business card I got in the first week looks so real that I feel good every time I see it hehe

 

ㅇㅇ(17.132) I want part 2 to come out quickly so I can collect tickets again

 

ㅇㅇ(280.117) The taste of goods that the official provides is fucking sweet

 

ㅇㅇ(110.31) The photos embedded in the goods aren’t released separately, right?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ L Cinema is so fucking far from my house…

 

(33.119) They won’t release the photos, so if you want them you’ll just have to go even if it’s far

 

 

 

The goods were chosen for cost-effectiveness but the response was tremendous. It was thanks to making them with unreleased photos. Proof shots weren’t limited to goods. Daily photos uploaded by general audiences on SNS were also part of proof shots.

 

“Huh? Hey, this is cute.”

 

“Take a picture of me first!”

 

The popup installed inside the movie theater. Black background with the “Faster Than the Law” typography, and smile balloons set up beside it.

 

This simple photo zone was quite popular. Audiences who watched the movie all took pictures and uploaded them to social media, and all of this worked together to help the box office success.

 

Everything went according to plan.

 

‘Every time I come to a stage greeting, the theater is packed full.’

 

A massive movie theater with not a single empty seat. Thinking that I’m right in the middle of it all makes my head spin. I once imagined a moment like this on an empty theater stage.

 

‘On a late-night stage with no one sitting there, someday a packed audience would all look at me, every single one of them…’

 

It really doesn’t feel real. That’s why I don’t feel tired even without sleep, and don’t feel exhausted even without rest. Is this what it tastes like to be the protagonist?

 

“That person is that person?”

 

After finishing the stage greeting and being escorted out of the theater by guards, an audience member who had just watched spoke loudly.

 

“Is that the same person as Seoryeong?”

 

I suppose it’s because I don’t really look like the same person as Influencer 1 from . I turned my head toward the sound and greeted them. I heard a small scream.

 

‘Ah… the taste of rising fame… It’s so sweet… Everyone, please focus on my face when you watch the movie…’

 

Focus on the story the first time, focus on Han Yeoreum’s face the second time. If everyone came to watch it twice as a basic rule.

 

“Filly! Well then, have a good shoot.”

 

“Take care of your body moderately and work efficiently. There’s nothing harder than getting sick in the middle of filming…”

 

After saying goodbye to Gwak Cheolsik and Yoon Hyeonjo, I finished the stage greeting and returned to the filming set.

 

Today was the scene of releasing sky lanterns. We had to film a scene of just the two of us on a ferry boat by the water.

 

“Unnie-.”

 

As soon as I arrived at the filming set, I called for Dokgo Min first. Because she can’t do without me. Dokgo Min only likes me…

 

“Unnie?”

 

But there’s some woman next to Dokgo Min?

 

I felt strange knowing she was having fun without me. The two of them were having a serious conversation.

 

“Due to the nature of hanbok, when it gets wet, what is it? That ascetic taste when the layered fabric clings to the body… The line you see when tied hair gets wet and a few strands flow down the nape of the neck.”

 

“Mm-hmm. You know something. Not as much as me, but a similar genius.”

 

“And I’m really desperately arguing that this scene must be shot with the two of them close together. If they’re alone, you don’t get that taste, you know? Two hands barely touching at the ends of wide hanbok sleeves…”

 

What? The atmosphere was different over there. In the filming set busy with equipment setup, those two had their own world unfolding.

 

“And that should be captured once in a wide, spread-out scene. The man’s back filling the ferry boat and perfectly hidden… Focus from behind and Seoryeong’s overwhelming face seen over the shoulder. Cold moonlight streaming down from the left… Under that lighting, wearing wet hanbok and stretching out arms. Here it is. Kyaaak!”

 

Even Jjang Director joined in. The three of them gathered in a corner of the filming set, creating a scene of heated discussion. Behind me, I heard a low, melancholy greeting.

 

“You’re here…”

 

“Junhyeok, what are those three doing? I can’t join in right now. Also, that person over there seems like someone I’m meeting for the first time, who is she?”

 

“I haven’t been able to join in for a very long time, so I can’t really explain…”

 

Kwon Junhyeok said glumly.

 

“That, hanbok otaku? She came…”

 

The status windows above Dokgo Min and Jjang Director’s heads glowed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking at the blinking status windows, it seemed like those two people’s stats would rise soon.

 

Indeed, you have to roll around and get beaten up on site to learn anything. I looked up at Kwon Junhyeok. And I opened my mouth with confidence.

 

“I think this scene is going to turn out really amazing. Myeongdo and Seoryeong. The best famous scene. Five thousand stars.”

 

“Since you always do well. It’ll turn out well…”

 

Kwon Junhyeok answered awkwardly. I heard he did so well in the swordsmanship scene recently, so why does he lack confidence like this?

 

“I think Junhyeok will do even better this time.”

 

“Ahhh-. You don’t have to praise me like that. This makes me more nervous…”

 

No. Really.

 

‘I think we’re going to film a legendary scene.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the letters in Kwon Junhyeok’s status window were blinking.

 

That upcoming scene. It was certain to be an unforgettable scene for him and for .
