Maybe a younger screenwriter was better for this type of drama.
He didn't expect "EmperorBoss" to deliver an outstanding result.
After all, Lee Hayoon didn't even consider himself an exceptional producer.
But after reading the revised script, Lee Hayoon was completely amazed.
"EmperorBoss" even added detailed scene breakdowns!
Though the revised script used scenes from the original where the male and female leads interacted, in "EmperorBoss's" hands, even the descriptive text seemed sweet.
Lee Hayoon couldn't help but imagine how the actors would play out this scene—
It was sweet, but completely different from the sweetness in the currently popular dramas.
The script had a clear focus, with both the main and supporting characters having their own shining moments.
However, the supporting characters' presence did not overshadow the main character; instead, they added a bit of balance to the sweetness that the audience would feel.
Lee Hayoon quietly opened his computer and deleted all the documents he had written himself.
The Emperor Boss truly lived up to the title!
But who exactly was this master?
Someone with such skills, staying on the forum to answer questions, and even having time to respond to his private messages?
...
Im Giseok replied to Lee Hayoon's private message and agreed on a time and place to meet.
Given his current reputation, Im Giseok wasn't sure if Lee Hayoon would change his mind after meeting him.
However, he was no longer the award-winning screenwriter he once was.
Now, whenever there was an opportunity, he would do his best to seize it.
Even after a busy day, Im Giseok didn't feel tired at all.
On the contrary, having not written for some time, he felt an excitement that comes with facing a challenge when he started revising the script again.
He finally felt like a screenwriter again.
In his past life, Im Giseok had become accustomed to being on set every day—keeping up with progress, making suggestions, revising the storyboards.
Suddenly having free time felt strange, and even though the original owner of this body was also a screenwriter, Im Giseok still felt lost.
Only the script could give him a sense of peace.
Im Giseok watched TV for a while and was just about to go to bed when ChirpChat suddenly chimed.
The message was from his old teacher from the Silla National Film Institute.
When ChirpChat chimed a second time, Im Giseok checked it and saw it was from a classmate he was close with.
[ Giseok, sometimes it's best to let things go. Soseong used to look out for you, didn't he? Why keep pressing him so hard? ]
[ Im Giseok, think about the rest of us classmates too. At least under Soseong hyung's guidance, we can make a living. If you block this path, what will the others do? ]
For Im Giseok, tagging Kim Soseong every day had become a bit of fun, but Kim Soseong had not responded yet.
Kim Soseong was quite a superstitious person.
Back when he was studying at the Silla National Film Institute, he wasn't the kind of student who was favored by the teachers, and his grades weren't top-notch.
