   I've recently become obsessed with a variety show, and the female lead has some special abilities! She's not in the entertainment industry; she's just participating in a rural travel show with her uncle, and the director is so terrified he faints and becomes immune. This "corpse-carrying girl" finds corpses wherever she goes! So they simply stopped doing travel shows and started a new detective show with the official channels. Wherever something happens and they can't find the culprit, they take the female lead there to film a show [facepalm]. The main point is that her talent can't be wasted.
