IF YOU'RE HANDSOME LIFE IS EASIER

[The Solar Eclipse] Episode 4 ratings hit 27.8%.

It seemed the ominous signs weren’t going to stop at just being signs. If the growth trend continued, it was already indicating a jump over 30% by next week.

At this rate, we could even see the historic 40% mark. Reaching 40% in the 2010s? That would be absolutely insane.

So, what could the broadcasting station do here?

Swoosh.

MNC’s Drama Director Park Seol-jae adjusted his glasses slightly, as if measuring battle power. Grabbing one side of the glasses frame, he leisurely looked around, and after finishing his analysis, calmly continued.

“Prepare a viewership pledge, a fan meeting.”

“Yes!”

“And plan an OST concert as well. For any of the actors who can sing well, let’s suggest they cover some OST songs.”

“Yes!”

“We’ve already held a production press conference and a media briefing, but since the child actors will be leaving after Episode 10, let’s set a date around then for another big event.”

That should help improve viewership ratings.

Immediately after Director Park Seol-jae finished speaking, everyone started replying eagerly as if they had been waiting.

A loyalty competition commenced in response.

Director Park Seol-jae looked on with satisfaction at that sight.

“Oh… It seems everyone is just as serious about this as I am, which is great. Really great.”

Additionally, once the ratings topped 30%, a proper bonus party would kick off.

Park Seol-jae imparted goals to his staff with calm and precision.

“So let’s all race towards our target with madness.”

“Yes!

Hearing the boisterous replies, Park Seol-jae nodded with a pleased smile.

Yeah, it has to feel like this for me to be motivated.

Moreover.

‘I can really give those cherry pie and poser types a solid smackdown.’

Just the thought of flattening the noses of those who were feeling so smug about hitting 30% recently made him giddy.

And it wasn’t just about flattening noses.

‘It’s also significant that the actor they’re most proud of, Kim Donghu, is working on our side.’

If you can’t beat them, join them.

That most basic tactic ensures guaranteed effectiveness.

In fact, they were already showcasing an overwhelming presence.

‘Let’s just breeze past them.’

Who could stop MNC’s reign?

And just to prove Park Seol-jae’s thoughts,

[The Solar Eclipse] Episode 5 surged to a whopping 30.1% rating, and at the same time, people began to realize a certain law.

– If Kim Donghu appears, it just automatically means over 30%.
– Is it that Kim Donghu appears in dramas going over 30% or is he the one making them go over 30%?
– Don’t be silly, didn’t you think they hit 30% during Baek Dong-su’s finale? Haha!
– Does anyone have the Paladook, Mark Crack version?
– Why on earth are these trolls here causing chaos?
When Kim Donghu appears, ratings are guaranteed to surpass 30%.
