Episode 28
As she quickly refreshed, comments began flooding in. Before she knew it, was averaging over 300,000 views per uploaded video. It meant there were many viewers following the series regularly.
-Whoa, what is this? This is insane lololololol
-08:27 What’s with that height difference…? I think Ju Junseo lied about his height… This scammer (Positive)
︎˪How tall is Ju Junseo? I’m about to become a fan so it’s urgent
His profile says 187cm but there’s absolutely no way he’s that tall lol
-So there wasn’t just one person who got transported into the romance manga?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ahhh when is the next chapter coming out fuckfuckfuckfuck
Buzz- Buzz- Buzz-.
[Hey I just watched it all]
[This is insane?????]
Just then, a message came from Aetami’s friend, Drama Fan B. Aetami typed quickly.
Right now, at this moment, she felt like she had to talk about .
“I’m dying of curiosity.”
Aetami was curious about , but she was even more curious about Yeoreum. How exactly did she switch between Dead Fish Eyes and heroine like that, and how did she make even acting that could easily make viewers cynical into something they could watch with a smile?
“For something like this, the actor is really important, but how did they find someone like her?”
Aetami was newly amazed. Originally, the difference between ‘dramas you watch for the cringe factor’ and ‘dramas too cringey to watch’ was always created by the lead actors.
“Her voice projection, her expressions… nothing feels awkward at all.”
Pi Chaewon with Dead Fish Eyes and Pi Chaewon with lively eyes. Neither was excessive or burdensome. As if she had existed as Pi Chaewon from the very beginning.
“Ah, seriously…”
Aetami, holding her cell phone, ended up reading all the latest comments on . Now there was only one thing left.
“I’m dying of curiosity.”
Search: Han Yeoreum
It was actress Han Yeoreum herself.
And thus began Aetami’s lifelong fangirling journey.

“Hey. Did you guys watch that thing?”
“What?”
“The one they filmed at our school!”
Episode 4 also landed in the trending videos. The viewership of grew through various channels: people discovering it in their feed, those who came through community posts, and those who watched it through friends’ recommendations.
“You’re probably the only one who hasn’t watched it yet.”
Friends who attended the same school as Taeyang were busy uploading photos from the filming set. They posted on stories, Twitter, and even wrote witness accounts on community boards.
[Wow, this was taken at our school hahaha how interesting]
At first I wasn’t interested because it was a web drama and I thought it would be some influencer thing, but damn it just hit me right in the feels…
For real, even from far away people were like <<>> so I was shocked as hell lol. Even the kids who said it wasn’t their type, after that day whenever they see me they’re like “yes yes, you’re my husband” lmaooo
Every Friday we all watch Pacheco together and scream together lol
(Ju Junseo real life pic.jpg)
This is the most similar to real life but he’s way more handsome than this
-This is real because celebrities really eat up half their appeal with physicals that’s why all the model-turned-actors get good reviews
︎˪(OP): For real Ju Junseo just towers above everyone around him… like a landmark
-Did you see Pi Chaewon too? How was Pi Chaewon
Students from Taeyang’s school were spreading photos they had taken all over the internet. It was when someone was about to attach filming set photos to a gallery post.
“Not that one, don’t you have better ones?”
“…Huh?”
The student was startled by the voice from behind and almost dropped their cell phone. Han Taeyang, whom they had never properly talked to, was looking at their phone.
“This won’t do. Let me see your cell phone.”
After roughly scanning the screen with his eyes, Han Taeyang took the student’s cell phone. Then he took out his own cell phone and entered the gallery.
‘…What?’
The student was confused. Several rows of the gallery were completely filled with filming photos. Judging by the ridiculous amount, it seemed like he had collected photos from the entire school.
“Here. Upload this one.”
Han Taeyang kindly sent a photo where Pi Chaewon was clearly visible.
“Uh… thanks…?”
Han Taeyang gestured with his chin as if telling them to upload it quickly. The student unknowingly uploaded using the photo Han Taeyang had sent. A notification rang immediately.
-Holy shit so cute ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Don’t you have any pics of them together with Jujunseo? I’m running my delusion generator right now so I really really need them
Han Taeyang, who was watching the notification together, sent another photo.
“Make yourself comfortable. Comfortable.”
‘Sorry Taeyang, but this isn’t comfortable at all…’
Only after uploading the second photo could the student be freed from Taeyang.
“Hey, Han Taeyang is weird… He has like hundreds of Pi Chaewon photos.”
“You didn’t know that?”
The students still didn’t know Yeoreum’s name. She was truly Pi Chaewon herself to them.
“Han Taeyang is famous for being a Pi Chaewon superfan…”
So Taeyang became Pi Chaewon’s extreme fan.

[The Cherry on the Parfait Belongs to the Heroine! Script Reading Scene] 04:27
After Episode 4 was released, the flow of the story changed.
Previous web dramas were basically ‘story’-focused methods where episodes were clearly cut off. was the only one to approach it as one continuous narrative like existing dramas.
“The current subscriber count is rising smoothly. If you look at the data here-.”
It was different from the existing snack culture where it didn’t matter whether you watched the next episode or not. It was the first web drama to make viewers curious about the next episode.
It meant the industry’s flow was slowly beginning to change.
‘Intube is Intube, broadcast stations are broadcast stations. In a market where there was always a clear gap, as Intube gradually rises…’
New types of broadcast stations would emerge in the world. A stage that would devour all existing broadcasters. It was impossible not to covet it.
‘Now, we need to establish an independent route.’
Jegal Rok looked at the PPT screen spread out in front of him. Team Leader Seong from the newly launched Web Content Department was presenting the interim results.
“Episodes 3 and 4 consecutively made it to trending videos, with Episode 3 at 17th place and Episode 4 at 9th place, showing a steep upward trend. Community mentions and reactions are also positive.”
“What about sales?”
“Looking at the graph, sales of N Brand products worn by Han Yeoreum, who plays Pi Chaewon, have been steadily rising slightly compared to last month since Episode 1, and the ratio of customers who purchased through links-.”
Jegal Rok raised one eyebrow at the results that exceeded expectations. It was interesting.
“N Company sent a proposal to proceed with PPL for the next project as well. They offered 20 million won more than .”
The last episode hadn’t even been uploaded yet. The fact that they were already making concrete plans meant one thing.
‘N Company has caught on too.’
It meant they wanted to join JC ENM in making web dramas following the success of . Jegal Rok nodded briefly.
“Tell them we’ll discuss that later. Say we haven’t decided on our next project yet.”
“Yes. Understood.”
The balancing act due to programming schedules, advertisements that could be inserted at any time, and building a trendy image on top of that.
‘Interesting.’
The presentation finally ended. The results exceeded expectations in every aspect.
“Director. May I ask about the label matter?”
“Which one?”
“I heard you’re considering changes to the existing plan of turning MCN influencers into actors.”
Team Leader Seong asked Jegal Rok directly. Are you going to bring Han Yeoreum or not? That meaning was implied. As expected, rumors spread fast in this industry.
“That’s right. But I need to think about it more.”
“Many people around me have been asking about Han Yeoreum’s agency affiliation. She’ll probably be receiving business cards from here and there soon.”
“Team Leader Seong. If JC pushes someone, anyone can become a star. Even successful celebrities, when they change agencies, just go straight down.”
Jegal Rok’s index finger went up and then came back down to the floor.
“Don’t you know they go down?”
Jegal Rok was confident he could develop a star. But he wanted to gauge in advance what level that capability might be.
In that sense, Han Yeoreum clearly showed she had ‘the makings’ but.
“How much we’ll need to pour in. We need to establish the framework from the beginning. Half-hearted testing is just a waste of time.”
Whether she was suitable as the first runner to open JC ENM’s new content market needed more observation.
“…Yes. Understood.”
Jegal Rok found even the time returning to the director’s office precious, so he turned on his tablet in the elevator. The screen showed the script reading video uploaded today.
-I don’t know. When will I ever be able to get out of this romance comic.
Han Yeoreum’s voice could be heard.
This couldn’t be called audio quality.
The power to make you imagine a scene with just one line of dialogue. This should be seen as video quality. The picture quality was different every moment Han Yeoreum appeared.
“Reporter. This is Jegal Rok.”
Jegal Rok picked up his cell phone and contacted the newspaper company.
“Please schedule an interview for our web drama project as soon as possible.”
That’s how Yeoreum’s first interview was arranged.
* * *
This place is Jongno-gu. I took a deep breath in front of the building for a moment. A nameplate with the company name hung in front of the building.
[Daily Media]
It’s a newspaper company that mainly handles entertainment industry news. I’m finally having my first interview.
‘Really… feels like I’ve become a celebrity…’
This was the schedule Team Leader Seong had conveyed to me recently.
“Yeoreum, an interview request came in for the lead role.”
By the way, I recorded this call and I’m using it as my alarm. No matter how sleepy I am, just hearing those words makes me jump right up.
Thinking that today was the interview, my heart was pounding so much that I ended up arriving way before the appointment time.
“Ah… the protagonist’s aura…”
While I was breathing in front of the company, a Carnival pulled up in front of me.
