Episode 31

* * *

The view count for was increasing steeply. Several posts about were uploaded every day.

From short posts saying it was interesting, to long promotional posts capturing the entire story.

(A scene from Pacheh. Yeoreum.jpg moving away beyond the frame each time she gets caught)

had many scenes suitable for memes. Any scene became a meme just by capturing it.

After some time passed, even people who didn’t know knew the memes. Yeoreum’s auditorium scene circulated as short clips, and that video of just over a minute exceeded 10,000 RTs.

The moment losers come home and feel regret.

︎˪Thinking I acted too much?

︎˪Thinking I shouldn’t have said that?

︎˪Uh… thinking it’s too quiet after finishing talking?

Stop mentioning me, you losers ㅠ

Yeoreum’s cringeworthy acting directly translated to the number of viewers coming to watch . Han Yeoreum’s influence gradually grew.

When episode 6 aired, the number of people who liked the combination of Ju Junseo and Han Yeoreum gradually increased.

-I’ve never even been to engineering school but this idealistic youth is crazy

-Let’s make it illegal to put that kind of man and that kind of woman in one scene I petition it’s too violent

Sorry, but which part is the problem?ㅠ I’m not sure

︎˪Just… it’s otaku rambling that regular people can’t understand… Sorry( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )

-By episode 6 they should hold hands at least once please it’s auntie’s wish I can’t even sleep

When episode 6 was uploaded, the comments easily exceeded a thousand. The likes went up several times that. People trying to predict the next developments also appeared. These were comments that couldn’t be seen in previous web dramas.

-Turns out they’re both comic manga protagonists, not romance manga… what if even this is a misunderstanding?

︎˪This will become a legendary comment

-If you look at episode 1, only Chaewon has a different skirt color, this seems like foreshadowing that the real world and romance manga worldview haven’t overlapped yet, they wouldn’t have dressed her like that for no reason

Meanwhile, Yeoreum’s followers were reaching 20,000. People everywhere began asking for the SNS account of the actress playing Pi Chaewon.

Beyond the character’s name, the public who were curious about Yeoreum increased.

* * *

-Oh~. Yeoreum!

“Director!!!”

-Did you see what I sent? Did you see it?

“I saw it…”

Jjang Director and I were having an emotional phone call. Several celebrities who were acquainted with Jjang Director directly mentioned in their stories.

-I really… honestly speaking, I didn’t know would do this well.

“I knew it would. Because I trust you, Director.”

-Yeoreum…

“Director…”

I could hear Jjang Director seemingly swallowing tears on the other end of the phone. Thinking back to before my regression, such a reaction was natural.

‘Because the reaction wasn’t this positive.’

There was quite a bit of mention, but it was mostly mockery, consumed as memes.

Cases like this where people predicted the next content or captured episodes as they were for promotional posts were almost nonexistent.

The leads’ poor acting, terrible dialogue, and overly generous music and editing. These were the three elements that made up .

‘As expected of Han Yeoreum.’

I had a moment of self-admiration.

-Later too, we must work together. You have to promise this. I want to work with Ms. Yeoreum for longer. All of this combined isn’t even two hours.

“Of course. Director, you must call me later.”

What I felt while working this time was that Jjang Director directed better than I thought.

‘To the extent that I’m looking forward to the dramas Jjang Director will handle in the future.’

I hope Jjang Director sends me scenarios later. With such thoughts, I ended the call with Jjang Director and focused on the scenario in my hand.

This was a scenario Myeong Jeha had sent me. It was the most successful work among those in the box.

“Things like this only circulate internally.”

What this means is that people without connections don’t even get a chance to audition.

In this industry, time is money. Dozens or hundreds of works get scrapped every year, then scrapped again. It was important to complete casting work as quickly as possible.

‘That’s why they get recommendations through connections. For scenarios that are really worth it.’

They only audition with those few selected ones. Of course, since Myeong Jeha only gave me the scenario without audition information, I’m not included in that…

‘Still, I want to practice acting, what should I do.’

And I want to prepare even a little more. Just in case, even if it’s a one in ten thousand chance, if an audition opportunity comes and I don’t want to miss it by just panicking because I’m not prepared.

I opened the first part of the scenario.

Since I don’t have an entertainment agency, there’s no way to receive scenarios unless public auditions are held. Perhaps because it’s a work I’ve seen several times in theaters, scenes immediately formed in my head.

“It would be nice if public auditions were held.”

I don’t even hope for them to contact me first. I’ve only just barely landed a web drama lead role once.

“Even a small role would be good. I want to stand in front of the camera again…”

The lens fixed on me, the lighting pouring over my head, the ready sound before filming starts. I can’t forget all of those things. They make me want to die on a filming set.

“I think I could do this role well.”

I underlined the dialogue of a role that had maybe 5 minutes of screen time at most. I want to do it. I wanted to do it so, so much.

Finally, the release date for episode 7 of approached.

Thanks to the posts and videos that swept through communities over the past week, viewers flocked in.

Among them were real drama fans mixed in. The real deal among the real deal, who watch every single drama from broadcast stations every year.

The title itself aroused curiosity. The last episode started with Chaewon using all the clichés to become the heroine, to turn back the time of the worldview.

-Everyone, let’s turn to the next page. Chapter 3.

-…Success.

The progress that hadn’t been moving forward all this time finally advanced. The timeline was subtly shifting. But something felt strange.

Scratch scratch- Once again, the sound of something scraping could be heard. Chaewon held out her palm.

The lifeline area was spreading red. Her body had become translucent.

-Why on earth…?

Chaewon tried to find the cause. Come to think of it, Hina wasn’t in her seat. It was empty along with Jun’s seat.

-Hina. I need to find Hina.

Chaewon moved urgently with her translucent body. Even during this, Chaewon’s body became increasingly faint at a faster pace. Chaewon, who ran to the rooftop, tried to call Jun.

But no voice came out. It was evidence of disappearing. She looked at her palm again.

-….

Ominous BGM began to flow. Her body wouldn’t move as she wanted. All she could do was wiggle her fingers. It was then that Chaewon’s expression hardened.

-Pi Chaewon.

Bang-! The rooftop door opened with a sound. Jun hurriedly walked in while taking off his jersey.

He put the clothes on the frozen Chaewon. As she wore Jun’s large clothes, color slowly returned to her translucent hands. Only then could she move.

-What the hell. Why was your body just like that?

-There seems to be… a problem with the screen time. Hina isn’t here right now.

-Hina isn’t here?

-That’s right! This is definitely….

It was then. A presence was felt from a corner of the rooftop. Jun and Chaewon immediately ran toward the direction of the sound. And there was….
