Life is Easier If You're Handsome

Chapter 310

There was a time when South Korea was swept up in a spoiler craze.

The day the main character died in Endgame.

Some people rushed to spread the news all over the internet.

And now—

[Bocchi Season 2 Announced ????????]

ᄂAh fuck

[(NSFW) Lower chest that hits just right at night]

The community was flooded with clickbait titles.

But clicking a normal-looking post didn’t mean you were safe either—

[I think I look kinda hot today ????]

ᄂAre you out of your damn mind

ᄂWhat does being good-looking have to do with dropping spoilers

ᄂAh ffs ????

Nope, no use. Like a virus spread far and wide, Murciélago spoilers were everywhere—and not being everywhere at the same time.

And people started to realize something:

"...There’s only spoilers—nobody’s actually talking about the movie."

"It must be that good, right? That’s why this is happening?"

Why are spoilers being spread so widely?

Subconsciously, It’s because the movie’s really good. Everyone assumes people are going to watch it no matter what.

If a movie’s boring, Spoil it all you want—no one cares because no one’s watching.

But if it’s guaranteed to be good?

Spoilers are inevitable.

Murciélago was riding a wave of explosive popularity. And naturally, when a film goes viral, the content comes flooding in.

YouTubers moved fast.

『(No spoilers!) Top 3 Behind-the-Scenes of Murciélago!』

『How the new Batman differs from classic Batman』

『Why Murciélago is a masterpiece』

『20 Hidden TMI Facts about Murciélago!』

『Hidden clues? Let’s dive into Murciélago’s details』

Film YouTubers dropped content like they’d been waiting for this moment.

“It’s a bit early, but I just can’t hold it in—today we’re doing a Murciélago review with some spoilers.”

ᄂYou’re doing it now??

ᄂI’m watching it today. Do it tomorrow.

ᄂHave some manners

“Sorry, can’t help it—seriously, this movie was so good I had to react to it.”

ᄂHow many spoilers are we talking about though?

ᄂIf it’s too much, I’m out

“No no! Nothing major... just talking about what’s already in the trailer. It’s just too cool!”

ᄂAlright, that’s fair

ᄂYeah yeah go off

“Go off? I’m going off ????????”

[???? ᄋᄋ donated ₩10,000]

Shut your trap and spill it lol

“Yes sir! Let’s get into it, folks! The best part of Murciélago is...”

Even livestreamers jumped on the reaction content train.

If you weren’t talking about Murciélago now, you were missing out.

For those who survive off public interest, that truth was etched into their brains.

And so, they went all-in with everything they had.

Even major broadcast YouTube channels took a different angle.

『Let’s look at Murciélago’s childhood roots! Kim Donghu’s early roles in High Dream!』

『Could this kid playing piano be Batman one day?』

『Meet the assassin Kim Donghu...enemy of swordsman Baek Dong-su!』

『Why is Batman strong? Because he trained with a swordsman as a kid』

They dug into old dramas to boost Kim Donghu-related content.

Variety shows did the same—uploading clips with max effort.

ᄂCan’t believe I’m watching his acting from when he was 15

ᄂThey even remastered the footage lol

ᄂNetworks are delivering his cringe phase right to us

ᄂThey’re demons chasing clicks

ᄂBut damn, the kid could act

As Murciélago-related content exploded in all directions—

[Murciélago’s Tomato Index... broke records even for a premiere ????????]

95% ????Absolutely insane freshness rating. You can trust it.

ᄂIs that for real?

ᄂMurciélago is dominating the global box office. Total beast.

ᄂEvery other movie released around it? Sit the hell down unless you’ve got a death wish.

ᄂYou think you can top Murciélago? ????

[But those lines? So badass.]

“I won’t kill you.” > Because Batman’s no-kill rule is sacred.“But I will make you wish you were dead.” > That’s such a tailor-made line for Jin Wayne’s Batman.

ᄂThe way he just uses a gun is sexy af

ᄂIt’s non-lethal rounds, which is kinda sad, but he can’t kill, so...

ᄂThat portable suit? Gave me Iron Man 2 vibes. Loved it.

ᄂThis is truly an MZ-generation Batman

[Could’ve gone even darker, tbh. Felt a little too bright.]

But if it started too dark, people might’ve skipped itGuess we just have to wait for the sequel

ᄂNothing confirmed for part 2 yet, but with these numbers?

ᄂYou think it could break into all-time Hollywood box office stats?

ᄂWell Tarzan already did, and this is bigger than that

ᄂIf this one crushes Tarzan, it’s automatic

[Director Cristo’s official statement ????]

“I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Kim Donghu.”“Without him, there won’t be a Murciélago sequel.”“Warner Bros. wants to keep him locked in for at least 10 years.”

ᄂ????????????

ᄂ????????????

ᄂ????????????

ᄂ????????

ᄂIs this the power of a K-actor??

ᄂDamn, this shit is legendary ????

ᄂKim Donghu, no doubt

ᄂNo ‘K-Batman’ label—he is Batman. That’s badass

ᄂDude’s ranking just skyrocketed

As time passed, the reactions only got more intense.

Naturally.

The number of people watching Murciélago was exploding.

[This could be Oscar material next year ????]

They’re keeping it in theaters ‘til the end /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ of the yearLooks like they’re gunning for awards

ᄂBig thumbs up

ᄂOscars from Korea? Damn

ᄂThis is what award-devils look like

[Wait... should we call Kim Donghu visiting Korea a “foreign tour” now?]

He’s a full-on Hollywood superstar now

ᄂDon’t forget about Korea

ᄂYou’re not leaving us for good, are you, Donghu?

ᄂIs he heading to the Middle East to build a harem?

ᄂNah these days you just have a kid and pay for custody lol

ᄂElon much?

ᄂSIUUUUUUU ⚽️????

[Honestly, his career was already the best in Korean film history]

But the fact that he’s only 27?? ????

ᄂ2023 Batman changed history

ᄂIt’s officially Kim Donghu’s era

ᄂGreat Donghu

ᄂThe scariest thing? He’s got 20+ years left in him

ᄂDude, even senior actors go 40–50 years. He’s fine

[Murciélago Honest Review]

Catwoman was sexy as hellHarley Quinn’s boobs at the end? I wanted to die in themCatwoman in that black tights suit? Unstoppable urge

ᄂHehehe

ᄂBut facts—Kim Donghu’s woman

ᄂWhy does he have so many girls ????????????

ᄂFive’s not even a lot for someone who looks like that

ᄂIf he wanted to, he’d have ten by now

ᄂInternational standards? Three kids already, easily

ᄂWith his specs, he’s overdue for marriage

And just like that, all of South Korea—no, the entire world—was ablaze with Kim Donghu fever.

Time passed quickly toward year’s end. Around October, most big titles were already out of theaters.

Then, in a meeting room, Director Cristo and the production team heard something shocking—

"...How much did it make?"

"2.3 billion dollars."

"...Huh."

The final Murciélago earnings report was in.

It wasn’t exact, just estimates—but even this much made the picture clear. 2.3 billion dollars meant—

"Murciélago just hit #4 all-time at the global box office?"

It was a ridiculous milestone.

This was only the beginning of the franchise. His first Hollywood superhero movie.

And it was already #4?

What happens if they actually keep going with sequels?

Inside Director Cristo’s mind—

Ba-ba-ba-BAK!

“Oh... Ohhh... Whoa!!”

Dopamine rush. ????????????
