Chapter 18 - Public Reaction (Part 2)

Im Giseok had been with the <> crew for nearly a month when he suddenly received a phone call.

"Is this Mr. Emperor Boss? We're from BingeBox. Your short drama script has been selected, and we're planning to film it. Could you come over sometime to discuss about the details?"

At that moment, in the crew's group chat.

[ Is Mr. Im leaving? ]

[ BingeBox and Mr. Im are a perfect match! ]

[ No way, they're trying to steal Mr. Im from us! ]

Suddenly, the group chat was filled with all sorts of panic memes flying around.

A few minutes later, to keep Im Giseok from leaving, the group members started tagging Yoo Oncheong, asking him to dance with Im Giseok.

Yoo Oncheong: "..."

It had been a long time since Im Giseok had submitted his script to BingeBox.

If they hadn't called him, he would have almost forgotten about it.

He planned to wait until the filming of <> reached a good stopping point before going, but Lee Hayoon and Yoo Oncheong kicked him out.

"You write so fast, you're putting a lot of pressure on us, you know?"

"Just go already, hurry up!"

The longer they worked with Im Giseok, the more they understood his talent as a screenwriter.

Sometimes, they felt that the plot of <> was too simple and straightforward and that it was actually wasting Im Giseok's skills.

Although the two of them hadn't been in the industry for very long, they had heard a lot about the shady stuff that went on.

If they hadn't met Im Giseok and saw his talent in person, he would have just been an unlucky screenwriter who wrote a flop show.

But after getting to know him, and even becoming friends, they really wanted to see him make a comeback soon.

At the very least, they wanted <> to beat <>.

Lee Hayoon also had his own reasons for wanting this.

Everyone in the crew knew that Im Giseok was the screenwriter for <>, and Lee Hayoon never expected to keep it a secret.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the news about Im Giseok being the screenwriter got out, the internet started mocking <> everywhere.

[ This drama is already dead to me. There should be something wrong with the producer's and director's brains. ]

[ What kind of connections does Im Giseok have? <> is flopped so badly, and he's still getting jobs. I actually feel sorry for Jeon Wui-myeong. He quit the industry because of that bad show. ]

[ Ahhhh, the crew should just change the name of the show! Don't call it <>, just call it <> instead. ]
