Chapter 309
The 16-episode drama “Chase.”
It’s a drama with a storyline that transcends space and time between historical and modern eras.
Starring actor Lee Seok-hyun in the lead role and the antagonist played by Moon Chang-sik, the drama is penned by renowned writer Ahn Ji-young, known for numerous hits, which has already generated a lot of excitement.
Moreover, the main actors have been promoting the show on variety shows, and with several articles released, Anna, a K-drama fan, was also filled with anticipation.
After a long broadcast yesterday, Anna woke up just past noon and spent the day thinking about the drama.
In her neatly organized kitchen, she cooked as a newfound hobby, then returned to her working room to review videos sent by the editing team of The Six.
As Anna intensely watched the video, noticing some edits that differed from her thoughts, she sent a correction request, feeling a bit apologetic, so she even added a gifticon. Then, she stood up from her chair and stretched.
“Ugh….”
It’s been years since she started reviewing editing videos, but it was somewhat exhausting.
Though it was just a video of about twenty minutes, it required a lot of concentration.
Miro, on the other hand, uploaded things without reviewing them at all, and Anna couldn’t fathom how she could do that.
For her, checking everything to avoid any bad edits was essential to her comfort.
Anyway, having finished all her tasks, Anna sat comfortably on the living room sofa and turned on the TV.
She loved watching dramas and movies, and the TV she purchased for a hefty sum was also her pride.
In truth, she secretly wished to invite the Celestial Realm members over to watch together, but they all appeared busy, so she didn’t call them.
Sometimes, she longed for the days they gathered for dance lessons, but understanding the circumstances, she accessed the OTT platform on the TV.
After a brief wait, she planned to start watching right at the release time.
Having faced spoilers in the past when she didn’t watch immediately, she always made it a point to see exciting new releases first.
As she waited, soon enough, the drama was launched on the OTT site, and she clicked on the first episode, diving right into watching.
“Oh….”
It started with a chase scene in the city, and Anna admired the appearance of the male lead, Lee Seok-hyun.
He’s definitely handsome.
With Moon Chang-sik and other good-looking actors appearing, Anna was already having fun.
Seated on the sofa, she watched the drama with excitement through episodes one and two.
As expected of a famous writer, it was incredibly interesting right from the start.
Just as her prepared popcorn was about to run out, the third episode began.
Unlike the first and second episodes, the setting was a historical drama.
As a loyal fan of the drama, she naturally recognized that this was a flashback.
Loving historical dramas, Anna admired Moon Chang-sik, dressed like a butcher.
‘Even dressed like that, he’s still handsome.’
His looks were no joke.
Moreover, being the antagonist, it was a fresh role different from the usual image of Moon Chang-sik.
Thus, Anna enjoyed watching the new drama, just as she always did.
“Oh?”
Until a familiar face appeared on TV.
Moon Chang-won, the daughter of a noble house.
Seeing Lady Soo-yeon shocked Anna.
“No way!”
She widened her eyes in surprise.
She knew Miro was filming, but was this it?
Why didn’t she give a heads-up?
Though startled, she refocused on the drama.
At least contact later; she needed to watch the drama first.
And Lady Soo-yeon’s appearance, completely different from Miro or Kim Soo-hyun, felt refreshing to Anna.
Had she ever been able to look so graceful?
If she acted like that regularly, her popularity would double… or maybe not?
Was Miro even someone who cared about popularity?
Besides, her fame was already soaring as high as the heavens, so Anna shook off her thoughts and refocused on the drama.
The third episode flew by much faster than the first or second.
With a friend appearing, Anna lost track of time while watching.
As time passed, just before the third episode ended, Anna sprang up from the sofa after three hours.
“Moon Chang-won you crazy jerk…!”
And this reaction wasn’t just from Anna.

Isn't Moon Chang-won the antagonist? Is he involved with Lady Soo-yeon?
-What? Isn’t she just a supporting character??
- Could it be??
-But is there a romance?
-Don't tell me that, lol.
-After checking the gallery's reactions, I started from episode three, so I have no idea, lol.

-Has she really changed that much, lol.
-It's still not time for skinship, you loser, lol.
[ Moon Chang-sik & Miro <— they surprisingly look good together, upvote!]
If they fell in love while filming, it wouldn’t be surprising, lol.
-Stop kidding, okay?
-What could be left to regret, lol.
-Nah, if it’s about Miro’s looks, it might be a regret??
- lol. Go away.

Why is the kid dying???

[Moon Chang-won <— if he’s a jerk, upvote!]
Lady Soo-yeon just saved him, and that jerk...
-For real...
-What a madman...
- I’m going to make a public petition, damn it!
[Miro, this guy is confusing, lol.]
Why be a VTuber? If you become an actor, you’ll definitely make it!
- lolol.
-For real.
-Why be a VTuber, lol?
[But won’t Lady Soo-yeon come back...?]
I hope she appears more.
-For real…
-I turned off the drama when Lady Soo-yeon died...
-Since Lady Soo-yeon died and episode three ended, there was no reason to keep watching, idiot, lol.
-I agree, damn you.
- lololol.
[Lady Soo-yeon’s legendary today...]
(Still of Lady Soo-yeon’s illuminated face in the warehouse)
They zoomed in, and it’s absolutely stunning.
-Wow, lol.
-Is she really Miro??
-She’s completely incredible, lol.
[The gallery folks are all grown-up now, lol.]
Why all this fuss over a drama? 😂
- Didn’t you watch the live broadcast? You missed out on life, lol.
-For real... I got spoiled by Lady Soo-yeon’s death while watching, lol.
-To be honest, it was fun, lol.
[Honestly, if the audience was relieved Lady Soo-yeon died, that’s worth an upvote!]
Almost freaked out thinking they’d kiss, damn lol.
-For real, lolol.
-If they had skinship, that would have been a nightmare, lol.
-I felt restless the entire time, lol.
-The watchers must have had goosebumps, damn, can’t they act?
- No way, damn.
- Hope your mom doesn’t film a bed scene with another actor.
- ugh.
[But then, the song that played when Miro died <— was this sung by Miro?]
That voice definitely sounds like hers, lol.
-That seems likely, lol. It sounds just like Miro's song.
-But whose voice was the male singing??
- It sounded like Moon Chang-sik.
- Huh? Does he sing too?
- Yup, he’s good at it, lol.
- Damn it;;
- So, did they release a song together?
- Moon Chang-sik, that bastard...
[The drama gallery is going wild in real time.]

- Oh lol.
- lol. Reverse-exporting, huh?
-Backtrack, huh? lol.
[Miro <— surprisingly, she fits well as an actress, so if it's uneasy, upvote!]
I’m shaking right now, lol.
-Upvote, lol.
-For real...
-With Miro's looks, it’s a waste to be a VTuber, just let her go, lol.

“Oh my! Oh my! What should we do?”
Mrs. Jang kept patting my shoulder.
“That hurts!”
“No, no!”
I knew she liked dramas, but I didn't realize it was to this extent.
Maybe I should have gone to their screening when the filming team did one?
Since it was the first drama, I gathered with my parents to watch at home, yet Mrs. Jang was overreacting.
“That rotten scoundrel…!”
Then she pointed at Moon Chang-sik on screen, and well, Moon Chang-won wasn’t an entirely good guy.
I felt it during filming, but seeing it in the drama made him appear worse.
Listening to the song playing with Lady Soo-yeon’s death, I grabbed a fruit from the table.
Though, a little worry crept in.
Was Lady Soo-yeon shown too beautifully on screen?
Objectively, it was just Moon Chang-won's bad actions.
Yet, due to their appearances, it seemed a bit touching.
...Was it intentional?
If so, I’d personally like to applaud the drama team.
Anyway, as the third episode ended with Lady Soo-yeon's death, I stood up.
**Beeeee- beeeep-**
Ignoring the phone ringing incessantly, I returned to my room.
Now, then...
Entering the room, I sat down in front of the computer.
Since the drama aired successfully...
"Haah."
I guess I’ll have to deal with it now...
Today, too, was definitely a day I wanted to take a break.
