A Drama That Feels Like Reading the Protagonist’s Own Novel
This drama belongs to the spectrum of more artistically written works. Since the main character himself is a writer, it often feels like you’re reading a novel written by him — especially in the episodes where he appears alongside his so-called young ghostwriter. You can sense exactly what he’s feeling — whether it’s happiness, sadness, or being lost in his own illusions — simply through the background music.
Those particular scenes have multiple layers that unfold each time you rewatch them. The whole drama feels like a collage — a careful “paste-together” of several beautifully written and emotionally crafted scenes. We experience moments of epiphany about the protagonist’s mental state, carried by dramatic music that shifts your emotions, enhanced by well-designed visuals — the artistic combination of colors, patterns, and elements within each frame.
The inclusion of several side stories about minor characters seems intentional, aimed at broadening the audience’s awareness. However, you can feel the story getting lighter and less layered whenever these parts appear. It’s clear that these subplots were written differently from the main narrative, and they often make you impatient for the main story to return — the one that truly holds the magic.
It’s also very clear that the scenes featuring the male protagonist were written to be more profound, emotional, and artistically elevated than the rest of the show. In my opinion, these scenes alone are what earned the drama its high ratings from viewers.
