The 3rd teaser trailer for
At first, the reaction was that it was simply a rehash of the 1st and 2nd teaser trailers.
That was because the scenes that could be shown from a movie were limited, and for thriller movies, revealing too many scenes would ruin the immersion when the main film was released.
So, the only worthwhile scenes in the 1st and 2nd trailers were the culprit wearing a raincoat and the chase scene with the police.
It didn't even clearly show who the victims were.
However.
That last.
10 seconds.
- Was Joo Seo-yeon the culprit???
- What the hell?
- Wasn't she playing the convenience store part-timer???
- I knew it, why would an extra appear in the teaser
- fr
- No, but the vibe is insane....
The part where Cha Seo-ah, the culprit of
And out of that, her face was shown for a mere 2 seconds.
Other than that, it was just setting the mood and showing her overall silhouette.
But that was enough.
To gather the public's attention all at once.
[The Chaser 3rd Teaser Trailer: 13 million views]
Five days after the teaser was released.
The view count was heading toward a truly record-breaking number.
Even now that the momentum had slowed, it was at least 500,000 a day.
If it rose well, it reached 1 million.
Communities that suffered damage from this unexpected storm also sprang up one after another.
- Is this the Joo Gallery?
- Are you crazy bastards, this is the Stock Gallery!!!!!!
- ? So what
Anyway, because of that, the community dealing with the topic of Joo Seo-yeon currently had its posting speed doubled.
The community, which usually barely filled a hundred posts a day, had exceeded ten times that in the past few days.
- The culprit is Joo Seo-yeon hahaha
- Did she originally have red eyes??
- Idk? Wasn't she like that since she was young?
- But her experience is practically that of a rookie, is that right???
- Her acting skills have been verified
- How much was verified?
- I guessed it when her physique was small, was I the only one who knew?
ㄴ Sigh
ㄴ Real
- The aura at the end was insane
- But they reveal the culprit in the teaser? Normally?
Thus, speculations about the teaser were going back and forth.
There were also comments about them satisfyingly revealing what could have been a twist element.
Also, it was the exact opposite role from Jo Ha-rin, whom she was currently playing in
"Director, will it be okay?"
Eclat Touale.
Since it was a company that had recently gained a huge promotional effect from Seo-yeon, this topic was not entirely welcome.
"Of all things, a culprit role."
Team Leader Jeong Tae-su spoke carefully.
He had come to acknowledge Joo Seo-yeon's ability as an actress to some extent.
Because of that, he couldn't help but be more anxious.
If
"......Hmm."
"Director?"
Seeing Director Baek Min-chan crossing his arms and looking at the city outside the large glass window, Jeong Tae-su quietly waited for his words.
"I don't know."
"Pardon?"
"Hoho, how would I know? Predicting the public's reaction is a really difficult task. You, as the team leader of the business strategy team, would know that better, wouldn't you?"
At Director Baek's words, Jeong Tae-su lost his words.
It wasn't a wrong statement.
And, with the intuition of a business strategy team leader, it was quite a dangerous situation.
Looking at the data so far, it was close to certainty.
Not good.
If a bad image was strongly imprinted, especially for a cosmetics advertisement where image was important, it was highly likely to take a hit.
"I saw the teaser, and the impact was certainly tremendous. My wife even already booked the movie tickets. It opens in two days, right?"
"......Yes."
"Hmm, she must have done well. She must have done very well."
Baek Min-chan nodded his head.
"But,
"Pardon? But that is...."
He knew about
But, honestly, it was shabby compared to the blockbuster movie invested in and made by the GH Group.
The internet reaction was quite positive in episode 1, but wasn't it ambiguous in the following episode 2?
He didn't know how much of a hit
"In the first place, it didn't seem like a role with that much weight."
"The logic of the market follows the money."
The weight is small.
Director Baek Min-chan, who watched all the works Seo-yeon appeared in, also knew.
That Seo-yeon's weight had greatly decreased in the previous episode 2.
Probably because the focusing that was supposed to be on the protagonist was greatly dispersed.
Or, there might have been another reason.
But, if
"I think we just need to watch for now."
"Is, that so."
"And who knows? It might become a huge hit with another unexpected event."
Recalling the time of
The steps of the rising star who returned after 10 years always deviated from his expectations.
***
Lately, Seo-yeon had been feeling it.
Wherever she went, there was a stir.
Just today when she went to school, she heard her friends looking at her and whispering in conversation.
Lee Ji-yeon said.
"It'll get worse when the main movie starts, right?"
"Will it?"
"It depends on how she appears in the movie, though."
She felt unnecessarily anxious at Lee Ji-yeon's words.
She felt that their relationship had become quite smoother lately, but who knows if it might change again.
In fact, actors who played villain roles heard such stories even more.
They said that people would swear at them when they were walking down the street.
And, such reactions continued on the filming set.
"What, you were the culprit?"
Ma Yeon-woo, who now naturally spoke informally on the set, asked first.
"...The nuance of that is a bit strange."
"Ah, no. I just meant the role. The name hasn't been revealed either."
That was true.
At the end, Cha Seo-ah's appearance was exposed, but exactly what name it was hadn't been revealed.
If you looked at the pamphlet, it just said 'Part-timer role' as always.
Cha Seo-ah.
Seo-yeon let out a breath.
To be honest, she thought she was the character closest to Seo-yeon's ego.
If she had lived a twisted life, she might have become someone similar to her.
Therefore, she also had concerns about how her character would be perceived by the public.
Of course, she would mostly be cursed at.
"Joo Seo-yeon."
Then, a voice interrupting the two was heard.
Park Jung-woo.
He strode over toward them.
For reference, the filming staff and the appearing actors were all busy glancing at Seo-yeon.
That was because the
It was a figure where there was no one in the industry who hadn't seen it.
They had a lot they wanted to ask, but the impression of the teaser lingered, making them unable to ask easily.
'It was barely a 10-second appearance.'
The red eyes shining in the darkness came to mind.
A face soaked in blood and pale skin.
Rather than human, it felt like facing a monstrous anomaly.
"Did you see the revised script?"
"Huh? Ah, yes."
Actually, for a revision, it was just a few lines of dialogue and about one scene missing.
Seo-yeon made a few guesses about it.
'Maybe it's because her presence is stronger than Song So-ha's role.'
Or, as
She thought so.
Honestly, it wasn't a very welcome thing for Seo-yeon.
Because she took the role of Jo Ha-rin to offset the image of Cha Seo-ah.
'But, still, it's okay for now.'
The core part of Jo Ha-rin was still left as it was.
If they touched that, it would be an act of shaking the foundation of the drama, so they left it.
"If you need to, I can tell them."
"Pardon?"
"Your script."
Park Jung-woo said seriously to Seo-yeon.
"This kind of script revision is rare. It's true that you ate up Song So-ha's presence, but even so, this kind of revision is not good."
"Is that so?"
"It's not just for you. It's not good for Na-hee either."
Cha Na-hee, who played Song So-ha.
She also knew that Seo-yeon's weight had decreased.
But rather than being happy about it, she seemed to think that she hadn't done as well herself.
"I heard there's a rumor that Writer Im Jin-ha is friends with PD Baek."
Park Jung-woo pondered for a moment.
It was clear that PD Baek's influence had worked on this script revision.
Otherwise, there was no way the script would be changed so easily at the words of rookie writer Im Jin-ha.
"Will it change if I say so?"
Rather, Seo-yeon was puzzled by Park Jung-woo's words.
Usually, there were almost no cases where a revised script was changed by the actor's intention.
Of course, if the actor was of a top-tier rank, it was possible.
But, Seo-yeon was not at that level.
At least not right now.
"It's possible. If it's you."
"Me?"
"There is one higher-up who likes you very much."
For reference, Park Jung-woo also knew them very well.
Someone who was also acquainted with Seo-yeon.
With just one word from that person, Im Jin-ha would quietly revise the script.
"It's okay."
"What?"
Seo-yeon shook her head.
"Anyway, it's not like the core scenes have been reduced."
"That's true, but...... hmm."
Park Jung-woo crossed his arms and pondered for a moment.
The script had been revised up to episode 4 so far.
'Come to think of it,
Park Jung-woo also saw the teaser.
The last 10 seconds.
The main villain of
The scene where the murderer Cha Seo-ah appeared.
Park Jung-woo felt that a lot of agony had gone into this short teaser.
In what form to reveal the culprit for the most impact.
And, how to gather many audiences to the theater.
'Recently, the theaters lack hit works.'
To be honest, domestic movies were in a weak situation.
There were only a few works that exploded in a year.
In a situation where foreign blockbusters dominated the theaters, that much power was needed to attract attention.
'That the culprit themselves are not a twist.'
It meant that the identity of the murderer would be revealed early in the movie.
Then it was better to use it to give a flashy shock in the teaser.
Also, conversely, it meant that the weight of the culprit was very high.
'If the main thread of the movie is not deducing the culprit but tracking and chasing them.'
If the narrative of the culprit was added there, the weight of the culprit would increase that much more.
Then naturally, the name value of Joo Seo-yeon, who took that role, would inevitably rise.
In many ways.
"......You."
Park Jung-woo looked at Seo-yeon.
Seo-yeon, staring blankly at him, didn't seem to have any particular thoughts.
Whether she really had no thoughts.
Or.
Whether she had confidence.
"Hmm, right. This is better."
"Pardon?"
Park Jung-woo smirked.
"It would be good to see you flustered when the movie opens."
"?"
"And the viewership rating of
He didn't really like a drama being swayed by one actor.
But for Jung-woo to do something, honestly, Kim Si-hwan wasn't such an eye-catching role.
Although he was the main male lead, his activities were mostly concentrated in the latter half.
The early part proceeded from Song So-ha's perspective, and the supporting actors who got entangled in the process were the main ones.
If Seo-yeon's weight, who carried the viewership ratings, decreased there.
'I should help Na-hee a bit.'
That way, at least she wouldn't be cursed at.
Jung-woo waved his hand as he looked at the young monster staring blankly at him.
Thinking that if it was this kid, she would do well on her own anyway.

Articles about
Even the few articles that came up were about the dropping viewership ratings.
Still, 10% was considered decent, but the important point was that it dropped consecutively in episodes 2 and 3.
If it dropped in episode 4 as well, even the 10% would surely be bent.
Funnily enough, the momentary viewership rating came out quite high at 17%.
And that scene was unfortunately.
- Watching it after the teaser feels different hahaha
- So she's the culprit, right?
- Is this all of Jo Ha-rin's weight today? Is this right?
Since it was broadcast simultaneously via internet streaming, it was easy to know where the reactions were coming from.
The part where Seo-yeon appeared.
The fact that the momentary viewership rating went up to 17% was because of the viewership inflow that came from the recently released 3rd teaser trailer of
Of course, since it was just a teaser, there weren't that many, but it definitely had an influence.
When Seo-yeon didn't appear anymore, the viewership rating dropped at once.
"Irritating."
Im Jin-ha bit her lower lip as she saw that reaction.
The viewership rating was continuously dropping.
Of all times, right after she revised the script.
When episodes 2 and 3 dropped consecutively, PD Baek also started to look at her nervously.
If episode 4 drops as well......
'Somehow, as the content partially changed, an awkward gap was created.'
Curses about it being cringey, that could happen.
Originally, she was aiming for that.
Rather than being ambiguously bland, it was better to be cringey.
However, the overall flow collapsing was not good.
But she had no intention of revising it again.
That felt like losing for nothing.
'Today's episode 4 has a group performance scene, so it'll be fine.'
It was a scene that took quite a lot of effort.
Director Kim Pil-seok also said it came out quite well.
And.
Episode 4 was broadcast.
"What's the viewership rating?"
She quickly asked the staff.
And, cheers were heard from the drama department.
'Viewership rating 14%!!'
It went up by a whopping 4%!
The dropping viewership rating rebounding was a very good omen.
Only then did Im Jin-ha finally feel relieved.
Only then did she finally skim through the live reaction she had forgotten about.
The live reaction she had been avoiding because she was scared of what today's reaction would be.
But if the viewership rating went up by 4%, it would surely be full of positive reviews.
With that thought, the moment she saw the chat room.
- Ha-rin, I'm scared....
- If Jo Ha-rin and Cha Seo-ah fight, who wins???
- I can't look at Jo Ha-rin the same way as before....
- Why isn't Cha Seo-ah showing up????
- hahaha the tension builds because she doesn't appear
- Is The Chaser that fun?
- hahaha if you watch you'll know
- agreed agreed
A chat room that looked strange no matter how she looked at it entered Im Jin-ha's eyes.
And, she could realize it.
'
Come to think of it, that day was today.
