Im Giseok never thought Kim Soseong would decide so quickly to go down in flames.
Kim Soseong had always left the impression of being smooth and tactful, getting along well with many people in the industry.
Im Giseok assumed he would at least hold out for a while.
"Because he was too greedy," Lee Hayoon said, "If he had just focused on making one good show, even if he had to pay, it would've only been for that one show. But now he has to pay for ten — who could afford that?"
For more than half a month, Im Giseok's daily routine was to enjoy watching all the gossip Kim Soseong was revealing about the industry.
He went through pack after pack of popcorn while also coming up with ideas for a script based on the entertainment industry.
Of course, the screenwriters from <
It wasn't that they didn't try.
They did @ScreenwritterImGiseok once, but Im Giseok quickly responded by posting an old picture of a Buddha statue that he hadn't shared in days, "How about this, you all bow before the Buddha and admit your mistakes first."
The other screenwriters: "?"
Can you stop posting pictures of the Buddha?
If they really bowed down, who would still be fighting online?
They seriously suspected that there was something wrong with Im Giseok.
Posting the picture was one thing, but Im Giseok also added his own tags.
#TheBestJuniorInTheWorld
#PoorImGiseok
#LoyalAndRighteous
Leaving the netizens confused.
After a while, a netizen slowly explained.
[ This seems like… a tag Kim Soseong used before? ]
Indeed, just a few months ago, the tag #TheBestSeniorInTheWorld was trending.
[ LOL, how petty is Im Giseok? ]
[ I'm Giseok has been holding a grudge for months and is only getting back at him now — how is this not a genuine junior-senior relationship? ]
In short, the screenwriters from <
They focused on Kim Soseong instead, revealing all the behind-the-scenes drama from the filming period.
...
Im Giseok originally planned to quietly watch from the sidelines, but no matter how you look at it, he had been the one to start this mess.
It wasn't until he finished enjoying all the drama that he realized he wasn't getting any new job offers.
Just half a month ago, several platforms had approached Im Giseok, wanting him to guide short drama scripts or help come up with ideas for a new long drama.
Im Giseok didn't have many connections in the screenwriting industry, but he asked BingeBox to help him find out what was going on and spent two days reading gossip on the screenwriter forum.
That's when he found out the reason: someone thought he caused too much trouble and wanted to push him down a bit.
Im Giseok: "?"
He had already been keeping a low profile, practically a good example for a new generation of screenwriters.
