KBS Drama Special 2018 (Deurama Seupesyeol 2018 / 드라마 스페셜 2018)

Sanghui.

Sleep in the room.

Okay...

Go inside and sleep.

Okay...

Are you going to work?

You are meeting Changyeon today, right?

I'll see you later.

Hello, this is Bitteul.

How is the editing going?

Okay.

Yes, I understand.

Thank you, bye.

- Gyeongsu. - Yes?

The original form of

crushed is crush.

To crush an object.

It's talking about the present.

So, it should be to crush, right?

Oh, yes. I'll make the correction.

Please pay attention to

proverbs and boilerplates.

The more you get used to it,

the easier you miss the errors.

Correct the ones that are marked

and show the revised copy to the writer.

Yes, Ms. Jeong.

This part is really important too.

- You have to look closely. - Okay.

- Mark this... - Yes.

And you have to pay attention...

Ms. Jeong. Come with me.

Is it about Mr. Bae again?

"A monster has appeared."

"A monstrous rookie."

How come there are so many monsters in Korea?

Is it the Jurassic Park or something?

Excuse me.

Where is "It's Summer Time for Birds?"

This is the last one.

It's stuck in the corner.

It was quite popular until two years go.

But these days, people don't really look for it.

It was a craze when it first came out.

The author appeared on TV as well.

Oh, I see.

Thank you.

Writer Bae.

You punk.

What are you doing here?

Weren't we supposed to meet in front of the bookstore?

Oh, hi.

Let's go grab some tea.

The legend...

Who sold 500,000 copies...

For his first novel.

To Writer Bae Sanghui.

Here.

You are a minimalist and you publish

a novel every year?

It's to make a living and survive.

Even if you add all the books I sold

it's less than 50,000.

But you sold 500,000 copies

and got the money in cash...

This is so tough.

Keep up the good work. For about 50 more years.

You punk.

This smells good.

Well,

isn't about time you publish your next novel?

How great is it that you are taking so long?

Oh.

I'm just writing something.

What?

3 months?

I can't wait any longer.

3 months is too tight.

I hear that editors hate writers who

don't meet the deadline.

Do you know when his deadline was?

If you add the contract period as well,

that's 5 years.

I waited 5 years.

Don't you think I've waited enough?

Yes, that's true but...

If you give him a bit more time...

He got $100,000 from us.

He should do the money's worth.

With that much money,

I can sign with 200 writers in the country.

I know.

Anyway, tell him to bring a manuscript in 3 months

or return the money he received.

He can do whichever he wishes.

What?

How can he get $100,000 all of a sudden?

Sir...

Why are you asking me?

Get out now.

Is it that hard to manage him when you are

living together?

Geez...

How can I write a novel in just 3 months?

Let's say the novel is about 250 pages.

If you have 90 days...

9 times 3...

You can just write 3 pages a day.

It won't be good if I write like that.

I know you've written something already.

About the wandering theater troupe.

I'm going to throw that out.

Why do you like throwing things out so much?

Whatever you write, you always throw it out.

I'm going to write a new one.

What is it?

I have something on my mind.

It's been 5 years.

5 years have passed since your first novel.

I can't tell the boss to wait for you anymore.

It's tough on me too.

Sanghui.

Are you listening?

You are always like this.

When you are in trouble, you seal your lips

and block your ears.

Running away won't help you write a novel.

If you miss this chance, you have to

start your literary career again.

Sanghui!

You should've been more careful.

Let me see.

The cut is quite serious.

Don't think about the number of copies and the money.

Just get those out of your head.

It's hard for domestic writers to sell even 5,000 copies.

Even the star writers

can't sell 100,000 copies.

And it's different from 5 years ago.

I should do the money's worth.

Don't think about those things at all.

The money's worth, your name's worth...

And your face's worth.

Don't even think about that.

The publisher will take care of

the making and selling.

The writer just has to write.

You have the talent.

I know it.

So stop throwing out what you wrote

and finish it until the end.

Okay?

Okay.

So, we will do that with the copyright problem.

- Mr. Im, you contact them. - Yes, sir.

And for the New Writer Award...

For that...

You take charge, Ms. Jeong.

Yes?

Oh, I'm in charge of two books this month.

If you include Writer Bae, it's three.

Why include Writer Bae in there?

He doesn't even have a manuscript.

Ms. Jeong, be clear on your position.

Are you Writer Bae's manager

or an editor? Huh?

And who else can do that

other than you right now?

Oh, Writer Kim. Over here.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

You've met him briefly last time.

Bitteul's very first New Writer Award winner.

Writer Kim Minjae of "The Perfect Meatball."

Nice to meet you. I'm Kim Minjae.

- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.

Isn't he handsome? He's an actor.

He's in a theater troupe in Daehak-ro.

And this is Ms. Jeong who is

going to be your manager.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Kim Minjae.

- Congratulations on winning. - Congratulations.

Congratulations from me as well.

Wow, that's amazing.

You wrote that in 4 months?

I thought about it for a long time.

It took really long for me to actually start.

But once I started writing,

I couldn't stop in the middle.

You are a genius.

No, I'm not.

If this goes well,

let's publish an essay as well.

Essays sell well these days.

- I look forward to it. - Sure.

Now, fill your glasses.

Let's make a toast for Writer Kim.

For the success of our New Writer Award winner!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Thank you.
