Chapter 53 - Kim Soseong's Downfall (Part 1)

Ryang Geumhee watched as more than ten young screenwriters attacked Kim Soseong in just one day and couldn't help but wonder, "How much anger and hatred must Kim Soseong have stirred up?"

Even if Kim Soseong's studio wanted to send out legal letters, they might struggle to handle so many people at once.

Kim Soseong's fans were still diligently defending him, but their explanations could only deceive the people who don't know.

In terms of public opinion, Kim Soseong was having a hard time turning things around.

…

The next day, Im Giseok received a heartfelt apology letter from another screenwriter who had worked on <>.

Im Giseok had tagged the person many times before without any response, but this time, the screenwriter put aside the internal agreements of the production team and honestly revealed the behind-the-scenes details of the script for <>.

According to the screenwriter, most of the creative and revision ideas for the script of <> came from Kim Soseong.

He and a few other screenwriters only played a supporting role, writing three to four episodes, but the final coordination and revision rights were all in Kim Soseong's hands.

As for Im Giseok, being a newcomer, his role in the script was even smaller.

The decision to blame Im Giseok was naturally made by Kim Soseong.

The screenwriter claimed they had "argued their case," but Kim Soseong was stubborn.

After <> aired, the screenwriter had been plagued by guilt but never had the courage to be honest with the public.

Im Giseok knew well that the screenwriter was merely shifting the blame from themselves to Kim Soseong.

With Kim Soseong now being criticized by everyone, Im Giseok's chances of being blamed were reduced, but the audience was eager to believe this narrative.

Im Giseok wasn't determined to make things difficult for the screenwriter.

To some extent, Kim Soseong did lead the project, and most of the blame for <>'s failure lay with him.

Im Gi-seok didn't respond to the apology letter, only remaining silent.

This silence was a signal to the other screenwriters of <>.

Since Im Giseok didn't say much, the other screenwriters spoke up, "condemning" Kim Soseong for refusing to take responsibility as the lead writer and causing trouble on the set of <>, thereby tarnishing the whole industry.

[ Im Giseok is really pitiful. ]

[ Every time I'm glad <> was a hit, otherwise, Im Giseok wouldn't have even had the chance to speak up for himself… I used to mock him when <> first came out, but now I realize it's not just a short drama, it's Im Giseok's life and career at stake! ]

[ Sigh, I always felt that <> and <> had completely different styles. I didn't expect the reality to be like this. ]

[ Seriously, isn't Kim Soseong already financially free? Why does he still need to stay in the industry and suppress other screenwriters? ]
