Episode 220

Since each community had separate fire boards running independently, there was no possibility of one against a hundred. This was purely the buzz amount that Han Yeoreum had generated.

Han Yeoreum, leaning against her partner’s thigh as if pleading, didn’t give up control of the scene. She was an actress who proved she could draw attention without having to project her voice strongly.

-Don’t you like me? Huh? From the beginning? No, right? That’s not it…

She even shed tears in the end. Even while crying, her pitiful attempt to hold back tears, worried that her partner might be tired of her, was heartbreaking. But on the contrary,

-Ah!

Her partner brushed off Han Yeoreum’s hand and let out an annoyed scream. Thanks to this, Han Yeoreum truly became an ex-lover who had been used and abandoned.

-I’ll think you just made a mistake for a moment. I’ll just cover it all up and move on. I won’t bring it up ever again.

Han Yeoreum knew how to use her breathing like a device.

Without saying a word, she turned her back and showed herself gasping for breath with her body trembling, then suddenly delivered pleading lines as if pouring them out.

She seemed to have mastered the method of breaking the narrative and creating curves.

-She’s meeting a boyfriend with this??? She’s not in her right mind

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Summer ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ let’s not say goodbye

-Just too much of a dating material. I think it has to be this woman

Most people try to prove their acting skills on stage. But Han Yeoreum was skilled at taking control.

-Say something, anything. If you really hate me, just say you hate me. Say even one word.

With one word, with one look, she blocks the other person’s options.

‘Because Han Yeoreum is hugging him, I can’t see anything else.’

It seemed like there was only one person on stage. Han Yeoreum’s classmate remained unnoticed until the very end.

When she first acted, and when she acted the second time. She was only recognized as ‘Han Yeoreum’s practice partner.’

When Han Yeoreum’s part ended, the next panel’s daily life began again. But the fire board comments were still full of talk about Han Yeoreum.

-For real, there’s a good reason why midsummer is rising ㅋㅋㅋㅋ the acting is fucking amazing

-I’ve felt this since Pachinko, but their acting range seems really wide..ㅠ I hope they do legal dramas or something like that later, their voice is so good

-These days actors all mumble so it’s hard to understand, but his pronunciation really hits the mark perfectly ㅋㅋ

As if no one else was even visible.

* * *

Manager Ma’s eyes lit up as she checked the fire board.

“It’s coming, the reaction is coming…!”

The main focus of this episode’s broadcast was undoubtedly Han Yeoreum. The lecture at the prestigious KNUA stimulated the curiosity of 【M Couple】 viewers.

‘It was quite hot even before airing!’

These were viewers curious about celebrities and broadcasting stations. There was no way they wouldn’t be interested in that KNUA where Korea’s renowned actors had emerged.

“The editing turned out really well. Ah-! The way things are rolling is so interesting I could go crazy.”

Manager Ma realized how favorably MBS was treating Han Yeoreum after watching this episode’s edited version.

First. Han Yeoreum’s individual character portrayal.

Nothing was better than family stories for making the public feel familiarity through the daily life shown on the TV screen.

Han Taeyang played the supporter role perfectly, and the patriarchal eldest daughter meme stuck in front of her younger brother.

“The daily scenes of her hanging out with friends are nice too. That So Dami girl is cute.”

Like others their age, going to the movie theater with classmates and eating more than half the popcorn during pre-screening ads, then worrying about whether to order one or two fried rice dishes also looked adorable.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ eating popcorn like a pelican..ㅠ so endearing

-For real, one serving of fried rice per person is the standard at women’s universities

Huh? It’s the same even if it’s not a women’s college

Second. Her skills as an actress.

The acting practice at that KNUA. Han Yeoreum showed skills on a different level from ordinary students.

“Among this episode’s InTube clips, hers has overwhelmingly high view counts.”

Han Yeoreum had already been recognized for her skills through 【Strange Tales】. When viewers were properly reminded once again that she was a KNUA student where only the talented could enter, their reaction was heated.

-We know each other and it’s so great to see you doing so well haha I’m someone who briefly attended acting academy with Yeoreum. At first, I thought she might retake the entrance exam since she started acting a bit late, but every time we practiced, she really made me face reality.. She was the genius of our academy?ㅠ Let’s definitely meet on set later, Yeoreum!

 If you don’t mind me asking, could you tell me how well you did?

 Well, after just half a year I went to Daeyejong and that was the end of it. I ended up retaking the exam and got into a different university’s acting department, but when I watched Strange Tales last year, I was like “that’s totally Hanyeoreum!” lol

Even the top comment with over a thousand likes was perfect.

Third. Exquisite editing.

Viewers might easily think ‘Han Yeoreum’s episode was interesting,’ but anyone with some broadcasting experience knows.

“They really put effort into it.”

Showing daily life becomes a double-edged sword. If it’s too staged, this kind of reaction inevitably follows.

-?? Did you come to film an emotional vlog

-Too fake..ㅠ I turned it off while watching because it was boring

ㄴ222 if this is how it’s gonna be then why did you even come out ㅋㅋㅋ just stick to acting

And conversely, if you try to show too raw a side, this kind of reaction comes.

-Ah, disgusting

-Lost interest.. Just meeting for the first time but so off-putting…

I hope ㄴㅁㅈ doesn’t appear anymore ㅠㅠㅠㅠ There are so many other guests, why him of all people;;

However, Gam Dajung made Han Yeoreum appear to have perfectly walked that tightrope.

“The fake documentary format works well.”

Rookie, young age, cute desire to look good to the public. She packaged all of that properly.

Intube

[M Couple/ Let’s not regret…! Regretting saying let’s not regret…! Regretting saying let’s not regret…! Endless Dormammu foolish regret girl Han Yeoreum] 05:11

310,000 views

-Been laughing my ass off since the after-school quiz show lol it’s like I just burst out laughing whenever anyone says anything

-The way my little brother just keeps eating with no change in expression is hilarious lmaooo

-I wish they’d keep the midsummer lineup fixed.. ㅠ except for that one person who’s particularly boring during the fixed segments ㅎ

I think I know who you’re talking about even without you saying hahaha 22

All of this combined could draw out every positive effect possible from a single variety show appearance.

Familiarity that made people forget about Seo Ryeong, sincerity in working hard as an actress, and above all, the public’s affection.

[Han Yeoreum, foolish regret girl appears again… The one line that captivated 【M Couple】 viewers: “I should have ordered extra-large jjajangmyeon”]

[KNUA’s shining class is something different~ Netizens buzz about Han Yeoreum: “She’d be perfect for Eun Baekhap’s child role in 【The Great Garland】”]

There wasn’t much time left until Yeoreum became everyone’s first love. Soon the script reading day for 【The Great Garland】 would come.

Manager Ma decided to wash away all the intense shaman image that would remain with Han Yeoreum until then.

“Manager Hong! Let’s go!”

Screenshots from Han Yeoreum’s 【M Couple】 episode heated up all communities. People were already curious enough about Han Yeoreum to wait for the next episode.

Peak viewership rating of 6.8%, as expected, Han Yeoreum took the highest attention among all 【M Couple】 broadcasts.

* * *

After the 【M Couple】 broadcast, Jin Eunsul’s followers increased by five hundred in a week. Eunsul felt anew the power of terrestrial broadcasting.

“…It’s not because of Han Yeoreum.”

Because it was terrestrial broadcasting, because the broadcasting company itself had many InTube subscribers. So it was comfortable to think that people who saw that became interested in Jin Eunsul. Jin Eunsul deliberately uploaded a photo with Do Gyeoul from her freshman year to draw attention.

As expected, the number of likes increased easily.

-I really enjoyed your acting ㅠㅠ I hope the day comes when you debut as a real actor!

-I really love KNUA @Kim Minjeong Hey, isn’t this unnie pretty

Huh?? Who are you

The person who appeared with Hanyeoreum and the M couple last time

Ah hahaha I remember, you’re pretty

As followers increased, annoying people also increased. Jin Eunsul frowned.

‘Why do they have to mention Han Yeoreum’s name, transparent. Really. So low level.’

As Jin Eunsul bit her lip, a nearby classmate suddenly stuck her face close.

“Eunsul, what are you looking at?”

“Ah… just.”

“Looking at Yousta? You gained a lot of followers.”

The cheerful classmates mentioned the recent 【M Couple】 filming.

“Ah- I’m really envious of Eunsul. I should have done it with Yeoreum.”

Now Han Yeoreum was no longer dismissed as a ‘lucky classmate.’

No one said she luckily got into a web drama, backed by a major agency, and won a short drama award with a decent scenario.

With 【Strange Tales】, Han Yeoreum had completely dominated this field. It was lucky, I could have done better, anyone who went in would have had to produce good results.

Such words couldn’t replace that.

The Seoryeong that Han Yeoreum had shown was perfect in itself. Perfect enough to leave a record that would be hard to break.

“Did you thank Yeoreum?”

Now the ‘lucky classmate’ among them was Jin Eunsul. Because the broadcast camera had captured Eun Seol. And she had appeared on screen for dozens of seconds on the most popular variety show on terrestrial broadcasting.
