by fnovelpia‘You always remind me of a flying squirrel. A flying squirrel with two big hair clips…’
‘Special Mobile Detective Division 808’ took the top spot as the most popular drama on Netflix Japan. This was why Sua thought of a squirrel picking up acorns when she saw Kim Iseo.
Because Kim Iseo seemed very excited and happy right now.
“Sua, this is great news. We can earn additional revenue from a project we already filmed, and it also means it’s easier for Sua to advance into Japan.”
“Huh?”
Only then did Sua slightly realize it.
‘In other words, it means I’m closer to a life where I buy a villa in Japan and occasionally interact with Japanese celebrities…?
Therefore.
“That’s good news.”
Sua was happy, belatedly.
“Isn’t your reaction a bit too stiff? It’s not often that a Korean drama takes first place on a Japanese OTT platform as soon as it’s released. This is truly amazing.”
I know, I know. Thanks to Kim Iseo’s emphasis, Sua now understood how amazing it was. Sua understands! However, she had to manage her image, so she couldn’t just go wild.
Suddenly, Kim Iseo stroked Sua’s hair.
“Sua, when you find someone admirable later, stroke them gently like this. This is a compliment.”
“….”
This person still thinks of me as an emotionless machine. But Sua didn’t really resist. Being patted was more pleasant than she expected.
After that.
“Hello. Yes, yes. This is Kim Iseo, CEO of Mystic.”
Kim Iseo was on the phone for quite a while. She was making calls and receiving them, it was quite noisy.
“Please send me the monitoring data on the current status of Netflix Japan. Please filter it down to be as visually clear as possible. I’m with Sua right now, and I’ll be explaining things while looking at it together.”
3 minutes later.
Kim Iseo received the data and put the tablet on her lap. She even took out a stylus and started explaining.
“Sua, look at this. This is the current status of Netflix Japan.”
Sua’s eyes followed the tip of Kim Iseo’s stylus. She didn’t understand it well, but the rankings were displayed.

[Japan / today]
01 ─ MDD 808
02 ─ Kill them all
03 ─ Woman’s diary
04 ─ Playground
“….”
Sua carefully examined the words on the screen. The rankings were kindly listed up to 10th place. However.
She soon tilted her head.
“It’s not in first place? Our drama isn’t here.”
“Come on, you’re good at English, don’t joke around.”
Kim Iseo smiled and tapped the screen with the stylus. It was the drama written as ‘MDD 808’.
“This is our drama. The official name was decided as MDD 808, taking the initials of Mobile Detective Division. It might be a bit awkward.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Speaking of which, Sua understands?
“Oh….”
Sua’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the Japanese version poster of MDD 808. Somehow, seeing the posters written in a foreign language rather than Korean made it feel very different.
Kim Iseo passed the posters one by one.
“This is Kim Sun-il’s poster, this is Seo Yeon-ju’s poster, this is a group shot of the main characters. And finally…”
Shhh─
When the last one was revealed.
“Huh?”
Sua made a silly sound without realizing it. She had held back a lot even with this much. In her heart, she was screaming sounds like ‘Ugh?!’ wildly.
Why else!
“Yo-you used this as a poster? An official poster?”
Sua pointed at the screen with her index finger.
Yes, Sua’s solo poster was the problem.
Sua emergency!
‘I’m going crazy! I’m going insane!’
That was what Sua was thinking.
In the poster, Sua wasn’t wearing a wig, and her white natural hair was fully visible. And that’s not all? It was as if the camera had fallen over, emphasizing the curves of her body at a dramatic angle.
‘This isn’t even an officially filmed poster? It must be one of the NG cuts? How can they embarrassingly use this? What’s with this stupid expression! It just makes my butt look huge!’
As Sua remembered, this was an NG scene.
She didn’t know there was a camera behind her, so she accidentally knocked it over with her butt, and then she quickly ran away.
Speaking of which, Sua runaway? Sua in a rush?
…They’re using that? Isn’t that too much!
Of course, the production team didn’t use this cut without consent. They asked Sua if they could use it. No, but she thought they were using it for entertainment purposes, so she allowed it…?
If Kim Iseo wasn’t next to her, Sua would have wanted to cover her face. What’s with this butt dumpling? All anyone can see is my butt, not my face or anything else! What’s with this grotesque photo!
But the Sua Association showed an unexpected reaction.
─ I don’t think it just *looks* big, I think it’s just big….
Maid Sua’s words were the beginning.
Wi Ji-hye immediately nodded in agreement.
─ That’s right. And the body can also be a strategic weapon, so wouldn’t the marketing team have used it? In the first place, all we have is our bodies, so we have to use even that….
─ Even I, the person in question, don’t feel like it was taken badly. I think people will like it?
Lastly, even Yoo Han-sua, who looked like a poster, agreed.
‘No, still, embarrassment is still embarrassment!’
It was then that Kim Iseo spoke again.
“The reaction is no joke. There are tons of comments. The only downside is that I can’t understand them right away because they’re in Japanese…. Do you want to read them yourself, Sua?”
“M-me, myself?”
Sua was about to receive the tablet from Kim Iseo…
“….”
…and pushed it back. She couldn’t receive it.
“I think I’ll check it later. Now’s not the time to check something like this. I need to prepare for the ‘Untitled’ script reading…”
“Aren’t you just resting at a hotel near the set today? You’re scheduled to rest for two days and then go into the script reading.”
“Yes. That means I’m going to focus for two whole days.”
Sua’s intention was firm.
Kim Iseo felt it was an incredible sense of professionalism, but in reality, it was just running away. Why else, she was embarrassed.
Sua runaway!

But of course, just because Sua didn’t look at the reaction and ran away, it didn’t mean the internet would cool down.
Just because you cover the sky with your palm, it doesn’t mean the sky disappears, and just because an ostrich gets scared and buries its head in the ground, it doesn’t mean the approaching beast disappears.
Therefore.
[New][Hot] 01 ─MDD 808
Special Mobile Detective Division 808 had settled into the actual rankings beyond just the real-time chart. Simply put, it meant that the people who had come in hadn’t left. They hadn’t spat it out.
It was only natural that the community was heating up.
[10ch.net]
[nekflix drama ch]
Even in 10ch, a huge Japanese bulletin board community, the Netflix drama channel was noisy with a new topic.
[ I had no interest in Korean dramas at all, but Special Mobile Detective Division 808! This was more fun than I thought! ]
[ I ended up binge-watching it all at once…. ]
[ Korea was also interested in buddy cop stories? This is completely to the Japanese taste! It was surprisingly familiar and went down smoothly. The final twist was also very pleasant. ww. ]
[ White hair, somehow a sign of popularity. ]
[ What’s the name of the actor playing the genius psycho detective? ] ㄴ[ Role: Kim Yu-han, Actor: Lee Sua. ]
[ I heard season 2 is coming out. I’m very excited. ]
.

The next day.
Because of this situation, even Japanese celebrities who mentioned MDD 808 on strong SNS like ‘Outstar’ began to appear.
[@tamayukiiiii] (Screenshot of MDD 808 viewing record) [Acting that makes me want to be involved. Excellent.]
One of them was Tamayuki, a famous Japanese actor who had received the ‘Weed’ script from Director Yusaku. He usually didn’t use SNS much, but he posted a review.
Detective, buddy, twist, mystery…. In fact, it was set in Korea, but all the elements that Japanese people like were melted into it. Even the Korean flavor was a hit factor.
─ MDD 808 Season 2 is coming out. ─ I wish they would film it in Japan. ─ 韓 ♡ 日 , It would be interesting to see Korean and Japanese detectives form a buddy duo. I’m looking forward to it. ─ Kim Sun-il is handsome!
Therefore, most of the reactions were positive.
That they were looking forward to season 2, that it was interesting to see the buddy cop genre that was very popular in Japan reinterpreted with a Korean feel, that the actors’ acting was good, and so on.
However.
As expected, there was another figure who was overwhelmingly mentioned.
Who else? It was Sua!
─ The character Kim Yu-han seems to be a character made for Japanese taste www A genius with a story www ㄴ That’s right, right, there’s a slight anime feel ww ㄴ Even his appearance is unrealistic.
─ I heard MDD 808 is popular these days, so I naturally thought it was an erotic video title, but it’s a drama, so I’m annoyed.
─ Who’s the girl with the big butt on the poster? ㄴ This guy hasn’t seen the drama yet. ㄴ Go watch it, idiot. You’re losing half your life.
─ The woman in the poster is in high demand.
─ I was mesmerized by her butt and ran through to the end, but she only appears briefly at the end and they tell me to wait for season 2? I was furious. I can teach the production team’s parents close combat. ㄴ Spoiler, delete it ㄴ Keep spoiler etiquette
─ Please remake MDD 808 as an erotic video. ㄴ Honestly, I want it too www ㄴ This is the current level of Japan. It’s a pity.
─ @artic_fox_sua. Actor Outstar ID. If there’s anyone who’s become a fan, I recommend following them.
It wasn’t a drama produced with the intention of overseas expansion, but Special Mobile Detective Division 808 perfectly suited the taste of Japanese people, and because the main character was Sua, the impact was great.
This was what happened in just one day.
After another day passed, on the second day.
Korean reporters also started running in earnest. A Korean actor is popular in another country, there’s no easier topic to write an article about than that.
[‘Special Mobile Detective Division 808’ #1 on Japanese OTT]
[A popularity that continues to spread, is Japan currently suffering from Kim Yu-han fever?]
Japanese viewers were diligently searching for traces of Sua. This led to Outstar followers and Mutube.
Because of this situation, there was someone who was benefiting.
[I really don’t know who the owner is. All talented pets gathered! ㅣ Studio Snack ㅣ ENG ㅣ Featuring Lee Sua X Seo Yeon-ju] ─ Korean / ENG / 日本語
It was director Kang Hyun-sung PD.
With the help of Mystic, he had added Japanese subtitles, which now turned out to be a stroke of genius.
Sua’s popularity was trending upwards, Westerners were playing this video when feeding their pets, and people who were interested in Japan were finding it and watching it.
─ 20,124,312 views
The number of views had already exceeded 20 million.
─キム·ユハン! あなたは魅力があります! (Kim Yu-han, you are charming!)
The video was almost becoming a holy place.
◈◈◈◈◈
Meanwhile, at the same time.
“Hoo….”
Sua took a deep breath.
The internet was burning fiercely, but Sua didn’t know. To be exact, she was ignoring it on purpose to avoid knowing. She was afraid to see the reaction to her embarrassing poster….
‘Thanks to that, it was a busy two days.’
That’s right, Sua was able to practice her acting diligently for two days thanks to ignoring the internet. Sua diligent!
And now, the moment for the script reading of Hong Ye-ji’s Netflix flagship ‘Untitled’ has finally arrived. Now that it’s here, excitement and nervousness are mixed together. She still can’t get used to it.
But after arriving on set.
Sua tilted her head without realizing it.
‘Huh?’
Because something unfamiliar and welcome had appeared. There was a sign with large letters on the set. This work finally had a title.
“Somehow, the title is a bit unique.”
That was Sua’s impression.
[Netflix ─ Alien Game]
“…Alien Game?”
Alien Game. This is the name of the work that Sua will be involved in and create from now on. At the same time, several special windows appeared in front of her and started to sparkle. A lot.
