Chapter 64 - Crushed by Competition

<> was her third youth drama, and her previous two shows had achieved very good ratings and online viewership numbers.

[ <> is a sweet campus romance—I love this kind of story so much! ]

[ Ahhhh, Yoo Mokah's new drama! It's my favorite type again. Yoo Mokah is so sweet and adorable! ]

[ I love cute, sweet dramas! I have nothing in common with people who don't get them! ]

The young actress already had a lot of fans.

On the premiere day of <>, CineHaven TV bought a full-screen ad on Chirp to create buzz.

The marketing accounts all followed up, filling the post with clips of the male and female leads interacting.

In comparison, <> had no presence anywhere outside of ReelRise, except for the efforts of Lee Hayoon, Im Giseok, and a few other main creators, along with the male and female leads who were still trying hard to promote it.

ReelRise didn't even provide a direct link on the homepage for <>.

Viewers had to search for the show's name to find it.

Among the creators, Im Giseok had the most fans—over 200,000.

He did post the link to the new drama on ReelRise, but most of his followers were fans of <>.

They preferred that type of short, action-packed drama rather than a sweet romance like <>.

[ Maybe I'll check it out. If it looks interesting, I'll watch it. ]

[ Emmm... But I'm still more curious about whether <> will get updated soon. I can't wait to see how the main character will smack down the villains in the next episode. ]

[ Is this a new show? Why does it seem like it has no buzz at all? ]

[ I thought it was the new drama from CineHaven TV, but it's not? The name sounds similar. ]

Fans searched on Chirp, but since <> was a new drama, they couldn't find any feedback about it online.

Instead, there were overwhelming discussions about <>.

After the first episode finally aired, the view count for the day was released shortly after.

At the same time, Im Giseok received a message from Lee Hayoon, "We'll try harder next time; there will always be another chance."

For that day's episode, <> had over 8 million views, while <> only had about 300,000 views per episode.

This didn't even reach the average view count on BingeBox.

As soon as the view counts came out, the marketing accounts rushed to share the news.

[ In the long drama category, <> is nearing 10 million views in a single day. Could it be another big hit? ]

[ CineHaven TV has finally come out from under the shadow of <>. Yoo Mokah's ability to carry a show is really strong. ]

[ By the way, is ReelRise burying <>? A mere 300,000 views per episode is shockingly low. ]
