Episode 25

The taste of clichés was wickedly stimulating. Even though you could predict how they would act, not even showing a preview made it feel like you’d die from frustration.

-Kids who are seriously into manga absolutely never study lol guys… at least get your computer skills certification ㅠ

-Ah I’m going crazy, I put too much strength in my toes and got a cramp (๑`ȏ´๑)

-As a woman in her 30s watching this, I’m so embarrassed ㅜㅜㅜㅜ I need to buy a privacy screen protector tomorrow

Aetami skimmed through the comments. Before she knew it, there were not only story comments but also character analysis comments appearing frequently.

-With Chaewon’s personality, it must have been hard for her to make friends ㅜㅜ Maybe she entered that world to make friends…

She had just uploaded episode 2 yesterday, but the view count kept increasing.

“Why is it growing so fast?”

The speed was unusual. It hadn’t even been an hour since uploading the video, but the comments had already broken through 100.

Aetami instinctively began analyzing.

“Well, it can’t be helped.”

First of all, the accessibility was way too good, and they properly twisted the clichés.

This was the first work to portray the cringe of romance manhwa and K-teen dramas that copy them from a third person’s perspective—similar to the viewers’ viewpoint.

“There’s never been a character like Pi Chaewon.”

It seemed Aetami wasn’t the only one who thought this way, as the comment section of was actively buzzing.

-Hahaha Chaewon’s reaction is so real thoughㅠHahaha

-K-drama production teams, please stop making kids wear White Stockings. The moment they wear those, they get called ‘hey white stockings from class XX’ at school

︎˪So true.. How long are they going to call it ‘dramatic license’; I’ve never even heard that word in real life

Aaah so cute ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The discipline of ridiculous school drama worldviews is finally being established… Chaewon came with a torchlololol

“Ah, anyway I’m excited. Finally got something to watch!”

As soon as ended, Aetami posted another tweet.

Aetami (Not MLM Account DM X) @AnYtimeMedia

(-Nobody… is listening to class? You guys? Clip)

Current school situation

She kept wanting to talk about it. Which parts were good today, what might happen next—her fingers were itching.

Covering her mouth and reviewing today’s video, Aetami contacted her friend, Drama Fan B.

Message: Hey please watch this for real for real, it’s Tami’s wish!

Without realizing it, Aetami had broken through level 5 of over-immersion. It was completely different from when she just watched the preview.

I opened the Status Window. But the mission wasn’t completed yet.

“The share count is the problem. The share count…”

View count and share count were separate issues. I could get Intube statistics through Team Leader Seong.

“Currently it’s just over 200…”

Still not enough. But there’s one thing I can be sure of.

“The final episode will definitely get over a thousand shares.”

After seeing Han Yeoreum’s Acting in the final episode, they’ll have no choice but to share it. Obviously.

I closed the Status Window for a moment and checked SNS.

“It increases every day!!!”

Notifications were piled up like they were about to burst.

“Soon… I’ll hit ten thousand.”

Such an amazing number almost brought tears to my eyes. People who enjoyed watching came to the photos I took on the Filming Set and left comments.

“This is… the taste of being a protagonist…”

It was so sweet my heart was racing. My head was buzzing with the exhilaration of truly growing.

This was attention I’d never received before. Not only on SNS, but people who recognized me at School were increasing too.

“Hey! Han Yeoreum!”

Dami came running from far away. Thanks to uploading on weekends, as soon as Monday came I received congratulations from here and there.

“What’s with you. Who told you to act so well!”

“Say it louder, Dami.”

“What are Dead Fish Eyes? I thought it was Noryangjin!”

Classmates gradually started gathering around. I put effort into Facial Expression Control. My mouth corners were about to rise too much, which would be trouble.

“That was fun. My friend enjoyed it too.”

“Han Yeoreum~. Celebrity~.”

That’s when it happened. Someone called Do Gyeoul’s name.

“Gyeoul! Did you watch too?”

I steadied my body that was about to flinch at those words.

Why are they calling her again… We’re talking about me right now…

I looked at Do Gyeoul who made eye contact with me from far away. Do Gyeoul smiled peacefully as always.

“What’s that?”

At Do Gyeoul’s words, Dami immediately pulled out her Tablet.

“This! The web drama Yeoreum starred in!”

“Ah… Web drama.”

My soaring mood plummets vertically. Just from Do Gyeoul’s reaction.

The briefly lively atmosphere also quieted down.

“I don’t really know web dramas. I’ll definitely check it out later.”

“Well, Gyeoul is a movie actor.”

“Ah~ I’m so jealous I could die. When will we ever appear in movies.”

In an instant, the focus shifted to Do Gyeoul again.

I tried not to react to every little thing like this. But I felt something welling up inside my chest.

‘Does being a movie actor make you everything?’

Yeah. It probably does. In front of a movie actor, a web drama protagonist is nothing.

‘You’re not the only one making movies… I’ll make movies too… definitely…’

But my dejected mood didn’t last long. The situation was now completely different from before when I only envied Do Gyeoul.

My head became filled with the next schedule.

‘Now that I’ve finished one web drama, I want to quickly get the next schedule, but maybe because I’ve only done extras, I don’t really know how to handle other work.’

For now…

“Hi.”

“Oh, you startled me.”

Someone called out to me from behind as I was walking frantically. A pleasant fragrance, and an even more pleasant voice.

“Where are you going, Yeoreum?”

It was Myeong Jeha.

* * *

Myeong Jeha watched Yeoreum pile up whipped cream like soup and devour it.

had exceeded Jeha’s expectations. Before his regression, the original hadn’t had this level of impact. Despite having the same script, same director, and same editing.

‘I never thought it would even draw in Jegal Rok.’

So all of this was Han Yeoreum’s ability.

Jeha tapped the table with his fingertips a few times as if thinking something over, then opened his mouth with a faint smile.

“I can roughly see why you chose a web drama. You did well.”

With just that one compliment, Yeoreum’s tense expression relaxed.

“If you could… give me a more detailed review…”

“What’s with the formal speech?”

“Well, I’ve lived much less than you. Excuse me, but how old are you…?”

The excessively polite attitude somehow had a way of rubbing people the wrong way. Myeong Jeha hardened his expression.

“I have a favor to ask. I really hope you’ll listen to it.”

“Yeoreum. While I’m being nice, just talk normally.”

“Hey. Help me out.”

I was the one who called her because I had something to ask, but Yeoreum got straight to the point.

“You get a lot of scenarios, right? Even if not for you, there must be tons of scenarios piled up at your entertainment agency. Can I take a look at those too?”

“Scenarios? What scenarios.”

“Anything. Whatever’s fine! Preferably works that’ll do well. I don’t have an agency right now, and I have even fewer connections to help me.”

Yeoreum’s eyes sparkled desperately. It was a somewhat cunning attitude.

“If you could also let me know about audition information… I’d be truly grateful and honored.”

Yeoreum even leaned her body toward Myeong Jeha.

‘When was it that she was desperately avoiding me?’

She had a more materialistic side than she appeared. Still, this was better than chasing after someone who was just running away blindly.

“Going to auditions with no information and just my bare hands is also a waste of time. I need to grow quickly. I’m in a hurry.”

“Why are you so impatient?”

Jeha tilted his head and asked in a gentle voice.

To Jeha’s question, Yeoreum answered seriously without any hesitation.

“Because I want to become more famous than Do Gyeoul.”

Why Do Gyeoul of all people.

A fundamental question arose in Jeha’s mind, but he decided to find that out gradually.

‘I have plenty of time anyway.’

Especially for Myeong Jeha.

“Alright. Sending you scenarios isn’t difficult.”

“Thank you… Thank you…”

“How about Ju Junseo?”

This was what Myeong Jeha was curious about right now. Just how much would Han Yeoreum change the game.
