Dramas featuring Writers and/or Editors
Please only add/vote for dramas in which the writer or editor is one of the main leads! Even better if the drama deals with issues that writers/editors face, features writing itself, presenting it as a kind of a meta winking to the audience, and/or has an indie vibe to it!!
Thank you! ^_^
