nervous… Did you do it?

“Why why!”

“Hey, over there…”

Yoo Jae-ho looked at the blank-eyed assistant director with a fearful face. His heart was pounding because he had just listened to a lot of scary music.

“···look!”

When the assistant director opened his mouth with an ecstatic expression on his face, Yoo Jae-ho shouted in a trembling voice.

“why! Is there a ghost behind me?! Virgin ghost?! Baby ghost?! What! say! “Don’t hesitate!”

“yes?! No, just look at our viewership ratings!”

Only then did he come to his senses. The pad in the assistant director’s hand caught my eye.

“···!”

5.6%···!

Name it the OTT era.

In an era where there are more people binge-watching live broadcasts than regular viewers, it was rare for the first episode of a drama on a general channel to exceed 5%.

Considering that there were other dramas airing at the same time, the figure exceeded expectations.

“Newblix is ​​currently ranked #1 in real-time search terms!”

3 seconds of silence.

and.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“Daebaaaaaack!”

“Wow! I tore it~!”

Shouts began to erupt from all over the place.

“Our team is the best~”

“Congratulations to the actors!”

The faces of Park Young-hyun and Kim Sun-ah, who were always quiet, were also noticeably relaxed.

Among the crazy outpouring of congratulations and happy words, the scripter’s words stuck with Jae-ho Yoo.

“Anyway, director… what should I do if you’re so scared while filming a horror drama?”

The cinematographer and lighting director looked at each other and opened their mouths with playful faces.

“A virgin ghost?! Baby ghost?!”

“say! “Don’t hesitate!”

It was a fantastic combination that could be trusted even if they had only waited for this moment. Thanks to this, director Yoo Jae-ho closed his mouth with an expression as if he had eaten a rotten egg.

Everyone burst out laughing. Thanks to that, Yuil was able to smile comfortably.

【3rd stage goal achievement rate: 17.8%】

Part of the reason was that I felt much more at ease due to the increased goal achievement rate.

Only after all the chaos had passed, all the production crew of < Saetbyul Arts High School Disappearance Case> were able to leave work.

It was a pleasant night.

*

As evidenced by the viewership ratings, OTube videos summarizing the contents of < Saetbyeol Preservation High School Disappearance Case> quickly became popular, reaching hundreds of thousands of views.

Naturally, dramas began to be mentioned in various forms in the community.

– (Chat) Has anyone seen ‘Saetbyul Pre-School Disappearance Case’ the day before yesterday~?^^

[Originally, there was a different drama that I was watching, but my son Raemi (he’s in middle school in his teens haha) was so excited that he said, “Let’s watch this,” so I turned it on and… wow, it was so much fun! I thought it would be childish because the main characters are high school students… but it wasn’t childish at all and I was completely immersed in it~^^ I watched it with shivers in the last scene haha;

It reminds me of the horror movies I watched when I was young~ I think my family will continue to watch them in the future haha]

┗ I completely agree! I wasn’t expecting it, but it was so much fun haha.

┗ There are a lot of actors with familiar faces. The guy who plays the main character seems to be a rookie, but he acts well.

┗┗ He’s an actor named Han Yu-il^^ He’s tall~

┗ I skipped it because I couldn’t see anything scary. Is it really that fun? Even at work, everyone is talking about this drama.

┗┗ I’m not good at watching scary things either haha ​​I was startled a few times, but it was still worth watching~

┗┗ Oh my, I was so scared while watching it alone that I hugged my child and went to sleep. Haha. Those of you who can’t watch scary things, be careful. haha

Regardless of age, < Saetbyul Yego> was a hot potato even among drama lovers.

[Ha, it’s been a while since I liked a drama like this, so my heart is pounding… I’m going crazy]

┗ It’s really fun,,

┗ Trembling in the spring with my relatives… TN is crazy to think of horror in the middle of winter.

┗ Min Ho-Jun is a real hikikomori and matches well with Han Yu-Il.

┗┗ 22 He looks a bit like a Japanese cartoon protagonist… Anyway, I think he was cast well.

┗┗ 3333.. I thought I was a perfect match with Seon Ki-hyun when I was in Singinha, but my acting was just perfect.

Blue Chat also created a meme using screenshots of dramas in which Han Yu-il appeared.

For a while after that, it became a kind of meme to put the captures from < Saetbyul Arts High School Disappearance Case> and the captures from < Sing in High School> together and name them.

‘···Is this funny?’

Yuil scratched his head while looking at the pictures sent by his classmates.

Perhaps because it was his own face, I wasn’t very impressed.

It’s just amazing.

‘I mean, thousands of people sympathized with this.’

···Still, I was glad that everyone seemed to like it.

The day when episode 3 of < Saetbyeol Preservation High School Disappearance Case> was scheduled to air.

The office worker took off his outer clothes and threw himself on the sofa.

I was busy for a while, so I stretched out as soon as I got home on weekdays, and on the weekends, I had to sleep in to replenish my stamina, so I didn’t have time.

‘I can’t even watch a drama featuring Han Yoo-il because of my current life…!’

It was ridiculous.

But today, a project that took months of hard work is finally over. That was the reason I went to work even though it was Saturday.

– Thank you so much for your hard work!

What came to the office worker’s mind at that moment was neither a sweet incentive nor a sense of freedom from being able to go home.

‘I can finally see it…!’

With a surge of adrenaline, the office worker clicked < The Morning Star High School Disappearance Case> on Newblix.

And then, as if I was possessed, I started to fall in love with the drama.

.

.

.

“You’re crazy…”

The office worker muttered as he looked blankly at the credits playing along with the lonely yet bizarre music box music.

When I came to my senses, episode 2 had already ended. It was a whirlwind of 100 minutes.

‘I’m glad today is the day it airs.’

The fact that I was able to watch episode 3 next was as sweet as a dream. The office worker’s eyes lit up and he continued to look at his watch.

After the waiting time, episode 3 began.

.

.

.

Episode 3 began with Ho-jun lightly touching the wild flowers that Ye-in gave him.

The police come to Saetbyeol High School again. Police officers are combing the inside of the school and investigating the surrounding students again. All students who were in the same class as the missing person are again questioned about their whereabouts that day.

After the last student, Hojun, was investigated.

It was a time when the police returned empty-handed.

Yein’s bold voice echoes through the hallway.

-Why don’t you ask me?

Only then do people look at the artist.

A strange atmosphere, as if a doll or mannequin was talking.

In that atmosphere, a police officer opens his mouth with a frown.

– ···What is your name?

– Choi Ye-in. I’m in the 2nd grade, 1st class. The classroom right next door.

Only then does Hojun realize that Yein is in the classroom right next to him.

The tips of Yein’s round eyes slightly lower. She continues her words in a sad voice.

– The missing child will never return.

-What on earth does that mean…

– Because I see ghosts.

– …what?

The police officers look at each other with dumbfounded faces.

The same goes for students.

– She’s standing over there right now.

When Yein’s finger points to a corner, the embarrassed teacher blocks her path.

– Um… Yein? Don’t play around… now is not the time.

Then Yein opens her mouth with a smile.

– You know. teacher. Things that happened at our school.

An overly pure and lovely smile.

The teacher is embarrassed and takes a few steps away from Yein.

Of course, the police don’t believe Yein. The only ones who are anxious are the students in the dormitory.

A few hours later, Ho-jun runs into Ye-in at the playground. The subject, who was the one who set off the bomb, is playing around by making animal shadows with his hands.

– ···Do you really see dead people?

– huh. To be exact, it is ‘people who died at school’.

Yein rests her chin and looks at Hojun.

– You don’t trust me either?

Yein smiles.

Same smile as usual. However, Hojun feels a strange uneasiness.

A sky full of dark clouds appears in his field of vision.

And in the next scene, Ho-jun discovers that each class has flowers like the wild flowers that Ye-in gave as a gift.

– ···Who put the flowers in the glass bottle here?

At some point, a wild flower was placed in a corner.

Seunghyun frowns as he looks at the flower. In response to Seunghyeon’s question, the children shrug their shoulders as if they don’t know. Seunghyeon looks at the flowers. It was a white and pretty flower. but···

– That’s strange.

With those words, thunder strikes.

I see Seunghyeon looking through the rainy window with a dark face.

···And the last scene.

The first-year manager, who was returning from inspecting the dormitory, saw that red paint had been painted at the end of the first floor hallway.

It looks like it was dragged around with a huge paintbrush.

-Someone played with paint like this!

However, the red paint painted at the end of the first floor continues along the stairs leading to the basement.

The manager gets irritated and walks along the red paint.

Thump-thump-

A sound reminiscent of the sound of the heart and string instruments gradually become louder.

The tilted camera angle and the hallway that gets darker as you walk further add to the viewer’s anxiety.

Just hope you get caught. I should give you 10 penalty points.

The manager gets annoyed and continues walking.

The teacher’s fast walking pace suddenly slows down.

‘···But, was oil painting originally like this?’

A sudden sense of heterogeneity struck me.

The feeling of foreignness soon becomes fear.

no way.

Probably not.

The manager gradually breaks into a cold sweat and is out of breath.

The place where the red paint was cut off was an old underground warehouse blocked by a wooden door.

– kkieeikik

The teacher’s expression distorted as he opened the wooden door in tears.

Next, a tearing scream echoes through the school.

and···

A missing child is found dead in the basement of a school that no one even knew existed.

With an X drawn on the hard snow with no warmth.

.

.

.

The office worker was trembling, holding in his arms a huge doll that his relatives had abandoned.

‘W… That’s scary!’

Everyone who appeared in the drama was suspicious. Even Hojun!

It was a drama that kept making you question the cute students that appeared from time to time.

‘It’s really scary… but really fun.’

Even though I don’t enjoy horror, it was like that.

‘There is no next episode…!’

The office worker let out a sad scream and hit the doll.

I couldn’t help but blame myself for seeing it too early.

*

The filming location of < Saetbyeol Preservation High School Disappearance Case>.

Most of the filming has already been completed. The remaining episodes were now two episodes long.

The actors looked tired at the earlier call time than usual.

Nevertheless, the actors’ eyes were full of life.

‘…uh?’

Yoo Il tilted his head at the unfamiliar face he saw for the first time on set. Yoo Jae-ho, who saw the actors’ gaze, introduced him.

“This person is Professor Kim Joo-ho, a psychological counselor and adjunct professor in the Department of Counseling Psychology at Sungmoon University.”

“···!”

Jaeho Yoo continued.

“The scenes to be shot today and tomorrow are emotionally intense scenes, and the number of cuts will likely be long, so we decided to have a psychologist on site to ensure the mental health of the actors.”

Yuil was quite surprised. He had heard that in Hollywood they sometimes hire psychologists, but he never thought he would experience it firsthand.

【Nowadays, Korean film sets often hire psychological counselors. In particular, child actors are often hired when their characters are too cruel or have to deal with extreme emotions.】

“···I think it will be a difficult shoot as it is a scene that requires me to pour out as much emotion as possible. “Sorry in advance.”

In short, it was a friendly warning to be prepared because it would be quite difficult.

Park Young-hyun, who was swallowing dry saliva, glanced at Yu Yu.

Yuil’s face seemed slightly stiff.

‘Are you nervous…?’

Yu Il is someone who usually doesn’t have a wide range of emotions right before a shot is taken.

I thought you had a heart of steel because you were always so calm.

‘Still, I’m shaking.’

Younghyeon once again felt humanity in Yuil. The staff member next to him also saw Yuil’s expression and spoke with a worried face.

“Are you okay, actor?”

“···it’s okay.”

Yuil tried to answer calmly.

His heart began to beat rapidly.

…but it wasn’t because of worry, it was because of excitement.
