-What the heck? Why is SKC suddenly doing a good job? Isn't SKC's YouTube known for uploading awesome garbage videos? Not that I'm complaining though, hahaha.

ㄴExactly. SKC uploading such a cute video? What's going on? I definitely need to watch the drama.

ㄴYou could've done it all along! SKC!

ㄴAnyway, thank you so much!

-The baby angels are so adorable!

ㄴWatching it for the second time

ㄴWatching it for the third time

ㄴWatching it for the fourth time

-Ah. The babies are just too cute. Like the title says, it's really healing.

ㄴSame here. I was so mad today because of my crappy boss, I was planning to order super spicy tteokbokki as soon as I got home, but after watching this on the subway, I'm suddenly craving something mild instead, hahaha.

ㄴHahaha, seeing the babies makes me feel full even without eating.

ㄴWhy the heck do people like watching other people's kids?

ㄴDo you not understand empathy?

ㄴReport this person. They're definitely a psychopath!

While many comments were pouring in on the video uploaded by Kim Hye-na,

-so cute. I'm so happy!

-この動画を見て、心が幸せになりました。素敵な動画をアップしてくれてありがとうございます!

-宝宝们，你们太可爱太有魅力了！就这样长大吧!

-¿Cuándo se emitirá el drama en el que aparecen estos niños?

Suddenly, foreign language comments started to appear.

And then,

-Huh? Even people overseas are coming?!

-How did they find this?

-Bless the algorithm!

-This proves that cuteness is indeed universal, hahaha.

-Now let's try exporting K-Cuties, lol.

Koreans, pleased by the influx of foreigners, eagerly used translation tools to respond to their questions.

Thus, the video of Taecho and the next Creation Gods quickly spread overseas.

-I just discovered the best healing video of my life on YouTube.

-I heard that this drama featuring these babies airs in Korea on Christmas Eve at 11 PM. I definitely want to watch it.

People who watched the video started posting about it on Stargram, and word of mouth began to spread. The view count of the video surged once again.

Tokyo, Japan.

"Then I'll assume the production presentation will be held in March next year."

"Yes."

"Thank you for your hard work."

As she left the meeting room after a meeting with the Japanese production company, Lee Somin, Asia-Pacific General Director of Yukflix, felt her smartphone vibrate.

Vrrr.

[James]

It was a call from James, the North America General Director of Yukflix.

"Hello?"

As Somin answered the call,

-Somin, how have you been?

James's voice, worn out with fatigue, came through.

Since it was around 5 PM in Japan, it would be midnight in California, where Yukflix's headquarters were located. Whatever the issue was, he clearly hadn't been able to leave work yet.

"I'm doing well, but it doesn't sound like you are, James. Did something happen?"

"There's an emergency at HQ."

"An emergency?"

"Yes! On SNS… no, there's no time to explain right now. Somin, go to Korea immediately and purchase the rights to 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas' created by the SKC broadcasting station, and everything related to it, no matter the cost."

"What? 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas'?"

What is that?

Somin quickly tried to recall from memory.

Ah! She remembered.

It came back to her. When she had visited the SKC broadcasting station in the past, Drama Department Director Jung Chansoo had sighed and grumbled that experienced PDs weren't willing to take on one-act dramas these days, saying the younger generation lacked fundamentals.

The title of that one-act drama had been 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas'.

"James, that's just an unpopular one-episode drama. Why do you need the rights to that?"

"Somin, just get moving first. While you're heading to Korea, check the YouTube link I sent you. Then you'll understand why I'm acting like this."

"Understood."

Since James's voice sounded urgent, Somin hung up and called the SKC Drama Department Director while heading to the airport.

SKC Drama Department Director's Office.

"Hello?"

"Chansoo! Congratulations! You finally hit it big!"

It was a call from the Variety Department Director.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Didn't you check your YouTube drama channel? It's blowing up right now!"

"YouTube? Got it. I'll check. Hanging up now."

As Jung Chansoo hung up the phone,

Vrrr.

Another call came in.

"Hello?"

"Director Jung Chansoo, hello. This is Director Lee Somin from Yukflix."

"Oh! Director Lee Somin! How have you been?"

Normally, Somin would barely pick up even if he called her ten times. So when she called him first, Jung Chansoo answered enthusiastically.

"I've been well, of course. Director, would it be possible to meet near the broadcasting station at 8 PM tonight?"

"Of course! If Director Lee Somin wants to meet, I'll be there! But what's this about…?"

"I'd like to purchase the rights to 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas', which airs tomorrow."

"What? 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas'?! That's just a one-episode drama…"

"I know. Ah, Director, I have to board a flight now, so I'll need to hang up. I'll text you the restaurant address as soon as I arrive in Korea. Director, Yukflix plans to offer the best deal in the industry, so please don't sell the rights to anyone else."

With a very firm yet polite tone, Lee Somin spoke and then ended the call.

And then,

"Huh…? She's not the type to be so aggressive about contracts…"

And she's obsessing over a mere one-act drama?

Jung Chansoo looked puzzled. He had always been in the weaker position when negotiating drama rights with Yukflix, but today, he felt like the one holding the power.

At that moment,

Vrrr.

His smartphone vibrated again as he hesitated. Jung Chansoo decisively put it on Do Not Disturb mode. Right now, figuring out the situation took priority.

"Something happened without us realizing it…"

Knowing what that is would make the contract more favorable.

"Secretary Kim! Tell PD Kim Hye-na to come to the Director's Office immediately."

Jung Chansoo quickly called for Kim Hye-na, the PD of 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas', and started checking videos on SKC's drama YouTube channel.

A moment later.

[Watch the Baby Angels of 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas' and Heal Your Soul!]

Views: 98.73 million, 4 hours ago

"Gasp!"

Is this for real?!

One video was showing an impossible number of views, catching Jung Chansoo's eyes. At the same time, he understood why Lee Somin from Yukflix had contacted him.

Just then,

"Director!"

PD Shin Yunseong burst through the door.

"Damn it. You scared me! PD Shin, don't you know how to knock?! Just because you hit a 15% viewer rating, you're getting full of yourself…."

"Director! That's not the point right now! The Asia-Pacific Content Director from Sitzny Plus is here in the lobby."

"The Korea Content Director from Sitzny… Bae Hyunjung?"

"Yes. She says she wants to purchase the rights to 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas'? Coming all this way for a one-act drama! Our broadcasting station is finally winning!"

Shin Yunseong's face was full of excitement.

It wasn't exactly that Sitzny came just to buy the rights to 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas'.

A little while ago, Sitzny Director Bae Hyunjung contacted them, saying that if they helped acquire the rights to the one-act drama titled 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas', Sitzny would fund Shin Yunseong's next project with a 30 billion won budget.

"Really?"

In contrast, Jung Chansoo's face filled with pride. Both of the global OTT giants, Yukflix and Sitzny, wanted the drama they had produced.

104.28.193.250

While Jung Chansoo was basking in his pride,

Knock knock knock.

Someone knocked on the Director's Office door.

"Who is it?"

"Director, it's PD Kim Hye-na. I was told you called for me…"

It was Kim Hye-na, who had been napping in the overnight room and came hurriedly after wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"Oh, PD Kim Hye-na, come on in!"

Jung Chansoo quickly moved and opened the door himself.

"Huh?!"

What?

Kim Hye-na, who was about to open the door, froze in surprise at the sight of the Director himself opening it.

And then,

"Our PD Kim Hye-na, just what exactly did you do?"

As Jung Chansoo spoke to Kim Hye-na, who had stepped into the director's office,

"…?!"

Kim Hye-na froze again.

No way!

Was that a problem?

In that moment, she remembered what she had done before going to sleep.

"Actually, a few hours ago, I uploaded a special clip of the one-act drama to the station's YouTube channel without permission! Director, I'm sorry!"

She bowed her head at a 90-degree angle and apologized.

Then,

"No! PD Kim, what are you doing? Why are you bowing? Huh? I was going to praise you. You really think I'd scold you?"

Jung Chansoo, flustered, waved his hands in panic. If it had been a man, he would've helped them up immediately, but since Kim Hye-na was a woman, he didn't dare touch her and stood there nervously.

"…You're saying I did well?"

"That's right! The video PD Kim Hye-na uploaded has nearly… huh?! It already hit 100 million?!"

Jung Chansoo had been about to proudly tell her the YouTube view count, but was startled to see it had already passed 100 million.

"H-Hundred million?!"

My video?!

Kim Hye-na hurriedly pulled out her smartphone.

Why are there so many missed calls?!

She saw that she had over 100 missed calls.

Ignoring that for now, she opened the YouTube app.

It really is 100 million!

She was shocked as she checked the view count of the video she had uploaded.

"Anyway, both Yukflix and Sitzny want to buy the rights to the drama you made, so… go freshen up and get ready for a meeting in two hours."

"Yes, sir!"

Kim Hye-na rushed home to wash up.

"PD Shin, tell Director Bae Hyunjung I'm currently in a meeting."

"Huh?!"

"I'm in a meeting right now."

"Yes, sir…"

Jung Chansoo checked the video Kim Hye-na had uploaded and the drama 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas'.

The drama was just okay…

After watching both videos, Jung Chansoo fell into thought.

The drama had a clichéd storyline and was centered around three child actors who were the original main characters, so it was exactly the kind of one-act play he had expected.

Every time Taecho and the Children of Creation appeared, it broke the viewer's immersion in the main characters, so Kim Hye-na had deliberately made a separate video where Taecho and the Children of Creation appeared only briefly and in small clips.

On the other hand, this video makes you want to keep watching.

The special video uploaded to YouTube didn't have a story, but just watching it brought peace of mind and smiles.

"They both missed the mark."

Jung Chansoo chuckled as he realized what Yukflix and Sitzny really wanted.

They probably misunderstood and thought the children featured in the special video were the main characters of 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas'.

How should I structure the contract to make people say I did a great job?

With a smirk, Jung Chansoo began thinking about the contract terms he could leverage.

At the same time.

"Kyoot?!"

This is a video of Taecho-nim and the Children of Creation?

Iona, who was once again searching for any malicious comments about Sejun and his companions, discovered the special video.

"Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Theo-nim, take a look at this!"

Iona showed the special video to Theo.

"Gasp! Kim Hye-na, what a wicked human, meow! She's making money with a video of the kids without the permission of our great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! Unforgivable, meow! I, the friend of Vice Chairman Theo, must report this to Chairman Park, meow right away, meow!"

Theo immediately tattled to Sejun.
