Writer Yeo Su-jeong was the type to avoid watching others' work as much as possible. She knew that even a single impactful scene could lodge itself in her memory and unconsciously influence her own writing.
When High Dream Episode 2 had caused a stir, she dismissed it.
“Even if he’s handsome, they’re all the same in the end.”
She had no problem ignoring it; the ratings weren’t high enough to compel her to watch anyway. Outside of the fuss over his looks, there hadn’t been much to draw her attention. This mindset remained unchanged as Episodes 3, 4, and 5 aired.
Click, click.
“Still, since my senior’s involved, I can’t help but be a bit curious.”
Though she didn’t watch it herself, she was vaguely aware of how it was doing. All she knew was that the ratings weren’t climbing significantly.
“Writer, do you mind if we watch High Dream...?” “Oh, of course, go ahead. Do you need permission to watch TV? It’s not like we’re in the Joseon Dynasty.” “Hehe, thanks!”
She never restricted her assistant writers from watching what they liked. She simply avoided it herself to prevent any unintended influence on her work.
She didn’t mind her assistants watching the show. After all, they were creators, too, and everyone had their own way of approaching their craft. This was her way of giving them space.
Then, out of nowhere—
“Aaaah!”
She heard a scream.
It wasn’t a scream of fright, but one of excitement.
What could it be? They usually didn’t react like that to shows. For the first time, Yeo Su-jeong’s curiosity was piqued.
Her assistants had watched countless dramas and movies. What could possibly make them scream?
‘Should I take a quick peek?’
Peeking.
