[Enhancement failed.]

[The target will be destroyed.]

​

BOOM!

​

“???????”

“What???????”

“What is this???????”

​

‘Alien Game’ delivered a huge shock from the start. Enhancing humans to make them explode? No, even if it’s that kind of world, are they actually trying it?

​

Yes. Sung Si-hyun does.

​

CRASH!

​

And as a result, her husband was shattered to pieces.

​

『….』

​

Fwoosh─!

​

After a moment of silence, the camera shows the husband turned to dust and Sung Si-hyun left all alone.

​

??????

​

『Waaah!』

​

Before all the viewers could grasp the situation, Sung Si-hyun quickly knelt down and began to wail. Well, her husband just exploded, who wouldn’t cry?

​

『Waaah! No! Honey! Honey!』

​

But how much time had passed? Only 5 seconds?

​

『…?』

​

Suddenly, Sung Si-hyun’s eyes became strange.

​

『Hmm?』

​

Sung Si-hyun rolled her eyes a few times while thinking.

​

『Wait a minute…. If failing makes you explode, doesn’t that mean the reward for succeeding is also huge?』

​

She suddenly picked up her child.

​

『Even though you lost your dad, I’ll make sure at least you become a successful child! I really will, no matter what!』

​

『Wah?』

​

Here, the viewers’ eyes widened once again.

​

“Nah. No way.”

“Huh? Seriously?”

“Huh?”

​

『Enhance!』

​

[Enhancement failed.]

[The target will be destroyed.]

​

“───”

​

The viewers’ minds went blank.

​

. . .

​

The progress of ‘Alien Game’ is fast.

​

The flow of time is skipped without any chance of boredom, and the scenes change quickly too. Thus, before she knew it, Sung Si-hyun was sleeping rough at a subway station.

​

Sung Si-hyun muttered blankly.

​

『How did I…. end up like this….』

​

Sung Si-hyun is full of regret.

​

『If only…. If only I hadn’t done that back then….』

​

Sung Si-hyun sincerely reflects.

​

『If only I had sacrificed a few people as offerings before enhancing my husband and child, I could have succeeded…!』

​

But Sung Si-hyun’s direction of regret and reflection has gone awry.

​

While viewers are still not used to Sung Si-hyun’s madness, suddenly the sound of shoes echoed.

​

Click-clack─ Click-clack─

​

A woman wearing a suit with a snake-like face appeared. It’s Lee Seo-jung.

​

Lee Seo-jung reached Sung Si-hyun (Soo-ah), who was making a strange regret, and said with a meaningful smile.

​

『Sung Si-hyun-ssi, would you like to play a game with me?』

​

『You know my name? Who are you!』

​

『That’s not important. What’s important is that I can give you what you want. Here, look.』

​

The woman in the suit took out a 50,000 won bill and fluttered it in the air. Sung Si-hyun said.

​

『Do you think I’ll fall for such a suspicious offer?』

​

『Yes. Your eyes are very honest.』

​

That was true. Every time the woman in the suit waved the money, Sung Si-hyun was following it with her eyes.

​

Soon, a rock-paper-scissors game with souls on the line began.

​

『Agh!』

​

『Damn…!』

​

The two engaged in a battle more intense than a war.

​

. . .

​

Time flowed and flowed again.

​

『…Ha, why did it really turn out like this?』

​

Sung Si-hyun was still a beggar.

​

It means that she had a huge victory over the woman in the suit, and accumulated a lot of wealth as a result, but became a beggar again. What on earth happened in the meantime?

​

What happened? It’s obvious without even looking.

​

『I’m going crazy. How can I not succeed even once?』

​

Enhancing consumes ‘attempts’ and ‘money.’ But Sung Si-hyun has now used them all up. She has no remaining attempts to enhance others, and her pockets are empty.

​

The problem is….

​

『…I’m going crazy, I want to enhance again! Is there anything left?』

​

But there’s nothing left, is there? There’s nothing to enhance.

​

Or is there? Soon Sung Si-hyun found the answer.

​

『Huh? That’s right! Myself! I’ll try enhancing myself!』

​

Sssssss─!

​

Changes began to occur in Sung Si-hyun’s body. She shook as if she would fall apart at any moment, and even had convulsions. Cold sweat was dripping down.

​

『Hehehe….』

​

But in the meantime, the corners of her lips are raised. Yes, she is still just soaked in dopamine and happy.

​

Faaaaaaa─!

​

The sound effect is getting louder and louder. The tension is building.

​

Pop─!

​

Success? Failure?

What will the result be?

​

[Enhancement succeeded!]

​

The notification window pops up and the title appears.

​

─Alien Game─

​

“….”

​

Won Soong-ying and Star Catch Kim Sun-ah, who had been concentrating without knowing how time was passing, each said a word.

“What on earth did I just watch?”

“What is this about…?”

​

But, the reaction that came out of the two people’s mouths afterwards was the same.

​

“F, first, play the next episode!”

​

◈◈◈◈◈

​

Afterward.

​

About 2 hours after ‘Alien Game’ was released on Netflix, group chat rooms and communities were already in chaos.

​

【Soo-ah Group Chat Room】

[Black Bear: Hey Soo-ah, are you crazy?]

[Black Bear: How can you enhance a baby]

​

[Deer: Hey hey hey]

[Deer: That’s not Soo-ah, it’s Sung Si-hyun, right?]

[Deer: The truly insane madness is ㅇㅈ (acknowledged)]

​

[Black Bear: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What’s this, Go Eun-bi is appearing]

[Black Bear: Go Eun-bi’s expression is so awkward ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

​

[Deer: ㅅㅂ ㄷㅊ (swear word, shut up)]

​

[Raw Egg: Eun-bi is debuting in a drama anyway ㅋㅋㅋ]

[Won Soong-ying: Cute ㅋㅋ]

[Won Soong-ying: Anyway, Soo-ah’s acting is crazy]

[Won Soong-ying: How does she do this kind of acting]

​

[Black Bear: Forget everything else! This scene right here! Is this a setup or is it meaningless? Please explain!]

​

It hadn’t been long since it was released, but it was already a mess, and it wasn’t just them either.

​

Overall, fires were lit everywhere in the community.

​

【Korean Community】

​

[Title: The feeling of emptying your brain is surprisingly good]

[I was watching seriously at first, but I just emptied my brain from the middle? But it’s really comfortable because you don’t think about anything. And I like this feeling. It’s a natural drug.]

​

[Title: Sung Si-hyun <<< Lee Soo-ah's all-time GOAT]

[All the actors are only taking on cool roles to manage their image, but honestly, who can digest something like this and become likable? Lee Soo-ah is now the undisputed GOAT]

​

[Title: No, so]

[Persuading her mother-in-law with a rap battle, exploding her husband and child with enhancement after getting married, wasting all the woman in the suit's money, and then enhancing herself is the content of episode 1? I'm writing this again and it's absurd ㅋㅋㅋ]

​

[Title: I actually came to the gallery without watching it first]

[It's the first time I'm not getting spoilers even though I'm reading all the gallery content…. No, to be exact, I just don't know what the content is even if I look at the posts. What is everyone talking about?]
─ Go watch it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
─ It's okay, you still won't know even if you watch it
─ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
─ I watched it but I still don't know everything ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

[Title: Forget everything else, it's just ridiculously fun]

[This is 'pure fun' ㅇㅇ (okay)]

​

The firepower of the posts was also considerable, and even the latest posts were pushed to the back page the moment you refreshed. The important thing is that it's only been 2 hours now.

​

It was certain that it would be even more of a mess by tomorrow morning.

​

◈◈◈◈◈

​

Meanwhile, in Japan.

​

Unlike Korea, Japan was not in a festive mood because of 'Alien Game.' The reason was simple.

​

【Japanese Media】

[Can 'Weeds' really be revived?]

[Akiko ─ Yusaku feud is just a rumor]

​

Korea was eager to see 'Alien Game' even before it was released, but in Japan, the Yusaku Director-related rumors were still the hottest topic.

​

[Attention is focused on RINE's actions…. What will happen?]

​

Can 'Weeds' really be revived?

If it is revived, can it face Akiko?

​

Now that the eyes of the Japanese public are all focused on that.

​

Mirai Tower. RINE CEO's office.

​

CEO Mawakubo asked his secretary.

"How is 'Weeds' doing right now?"

Then the secretary immediately opened her mouth.

"Everything is going smoothly. The actors who were about to leave don't seem to be anxious because the investment problem has been resolved."

"That's good. Director Yusaku is someone who will do the job he's assigned, and how is Lee Soo-ah doing right now?"

"It seems like she is handling her busy schedule as usual. She will be filming 'Crescendo from Tomorrow'."

"Everyone is diligent, which is good. It doesn't seem like there are any problems either."

​

Mawakubo finally let out a sigh of relief.

​

In fact, as the CEO of RINE, he had impulsively jumped into 'Weeds,' but fortunately, things were going well.

​

Moreover, it's not just that.

​

'My father's piano playing has improved a lot lately.'

​

Strangely enough, Mawakubo's father, who suffers from dementia, has been playing the piano quite well these days. Compared to the previous noise, he can now play children's songs to some extent.

​

"Let's see, now there's one problem left…."

​

If there's one thing that's bothering Mawakubo.

​

“…I haven’t had the chance to see Lee Soo-ah in person. There are so many things I want to talk to her about.”

​

That was actually the case. Even Soo-ah herself didn't know why RINE was giving money to 'Weeds.' Then the secretary said.

"We have already obtained Mystic and Lee Soo-ah's contact information. If we coordinate the schedules, a phone call will not be difficult."

"Hmm, no. A phone call is not enough."

​

"But isn't Soo-ah-ssi and the CEO both too busy with their own work to actually come into contact? It won't be easy to create a point of contact."

"The difficulty doesn't matter. Just as long as it's not impossible."

​

Mawakubo thought for a moment.

"Ah."

​

Soon he thought of something.

"Come to think of it, there's going to be a script reading for 'Weeds' soon, right? I wonder if I should get that place."

"What do you mean by place?"

"Let's rent out an entire resort. If I do this much, there's a reason to see my face once as the host, right?"

​

◈◈◈◈◈

​

At the same time, in Korea. Mystic headquarters.

​

Soo-ah was staring at the screen of her mobile phone. She's watching it now that 'Alien Game' has been released.

​

And.

​

『Waaah!』

​

'Isn't this a complete crazy bitch…?'

​

She was feeling various emotions as she watched herself playing Sung Si-hyun. It was definitely a character she played, but she wondered how there could be such a bizarre woman?

​

'….'

​

Honestly, there was only one thought in her mind.

​

'Thank goodness.'

​

The Soo-ah Association also said in unison.

​

'I'm so glad this one isn't in my head….'

​

─I don't think I can handle it at all.
─Isn't that closer to a monster from the Shan Hai Jing?
─At least SoheeSoo-ah can be coaxed and placated. I don't know what that one will do if I let her into the hotel….

​

Just imagining it was scary.

​

What would happen if Sung Si-hyun was in her inner world…?

​

She was lost in that thought when.

​

"Hey, Soo-ah."

​

Yeon-joo, who was about to leave the headquarters, greeted Soo-ah. It was accompanied by a light tap on the shoulder.

"Alien Game was really fun? No, the character you played was so funny even more than the work itself. How did you think of researching and doing something like that? I'm so impressed."

“…Is that a compliment?”

"Of course it's a compliment! There's a world of difference between a funny crazy bitch and a not-funny crazy bitch. Ah, it's already this late. Let's talk about the rest later."

"Yes. Have a good day today."

​

Still, Soo-ah was a little relieved thanks to Yeon-joo's reaction. It must not have been bad if she heard this kind of compliment!

​

Good is good, right?

Sung Si-hyun! It's okay as long as it was funny!

​

"Ah, Soo-ah!"

​

Someone else calling Soo-ah at that moment.

​

It was Mystic CEO Kim Yi-seo. She was still wearing two large hairpins on her bangs today.

​

"Do you know that the reaction to 'Alien Game' is so hot? Thanks to you, we're overflowing with good news right now."

"I'm feeling how hot it is right now."

​

Through the CEO's excited expression, of course.

"More than that, what's the good news? Tell me everything."

"Of course. I have to tell you everything. But the most important thing among them…."

​

Kim Yi-seo said with a playful smile.

"The Alien Game OST is coming out soon, right? In other words, it's finally time to reveal the identity of Sumiho!"
