Chapter 21 (2/2)
The viewershi+p ratings of public network draeneral cable networks were creatingsuccess while 10 was average
However, no ed, for a public network draet 3 was a bit…
No, so which one was it!
I was anxious If it suddenly stopped here, I would really…
“When we looked at the synopsis, it was quite good Mr Sunwoo saw it too, correct?”
“I also saw the synopsis and thought it would at least be average”
Right I did think that both would at least get average ratings
The fehed and said
“The script was good in the beginning as well Up until the 3rd episode, the ratings were going up, but those hardcore fans of the original screwed it up”
Original!
I relaxed If it was the one with an original, it would be Mermaid out of Water
“It’s because those hardcore fans were overusing their power by saying things like ‘you didn’t do the original justice,’ ‘it’s meh,’ everywhere It hen the production, director and writer decided to apply all those views by rewriting the script three tinored them and continued, but they were influenced by them”
“The writer’s ot threats in the mail”
“Sigh… If we knew this was going to happen, ould have chosen the other one”
Yeah, I guess I’ll tell them to do Time Slip
“Hey Son Chaeyeong picked between Mermaid out of Water and Time Slip”
“Yeah That’s right”
“Why did she bother? When they were both going to fail”
What?
“Tiood, really… If only the director didn’t cheat on his ith the writer”
What’d you say?
“Because of that, his wife came to the studio and made a mess, the director and writer were replaced and then they plastered it as a thriller and reduced the episodes to half That is a failed drama that will last forever”
What kind of situation was this?
They were deciding between the two, but they both failed?
Could they really be that unlucky? No, was it better for both of the the decision after Time Slip became a success?
My future self thirstily drank the Kalguksu soup and said
“I guess this is e can’t choose fro at the synopses”
“That’s what I’ You have to open up the lid to know Just look at the success on the cable network that Writer Hong Jumi wrote Everyone who read her synopsis said it was childish and boring”
A successful project?
My ears tingled I nailed the words the female employee said into my head
Writer Hong Ju after reading the synopsis
“You really had to read the script for that one This hy dramas depend on the writer’s performance”
“Thanks to her, the cast got lucky Because it was even a success in China, the lead and supporting actors becaht”
“There were even articles stating that they had difficulty finding the cast for the neriter Even we got contacted about it We had to give it up because of scheduling issues Sigh, we had to bite that one…”
“Did we know that would be such a success? Don’t think about If you do, you’re only going to regret it even more”
“The one we thought would be a hit flunked and the one we thought was bad became a success I wish someone would tell et a fortune-teller to pick one…”
“Excuse me?”
The hazy surrounding became clear
In front ofat me
“Was there one that caught your attention? Out of the two”
I looked at the synopses in my hands
Time Slip and Mermaid out of Water
Both failed… 3…
How could I say this in a way I would be considered less crazy?
If I told theood And these people ere more experienced at this knew that
If I told them as if I was a prophet that the director of Time Slip cheated on his wife for the writer so it will fail and the writer for Mermaid out of Water was so influenced by the hardcore fans of the original that she rewrote the script three tirave so I felt uncomfortable
And to let theh I knew both would fail was a waste of , it was a bit sad
I readied my heart and opened my mouth
