Figuring out their style: A list of K-Drama writers and their works
Like any other writers, writers of korean dramas have their own writing style. I got the name of the writers and their corresponding works from hancinema. If you know the dramas, I hope you can joined me on this, finding similarities in their works.
I believe that knowing their style give us some ideas of the korean dramas we have not watched yet. Actually, I just have watched a few dramas from this list (I am just starting) and I shared some of my views below. By the way, some writers work together.
Min Hyo Jeong
Attic Cat ( w/ Goo Seon Kyeong)
Full House (w/ Won Soo Yeon)
Our Attitude to Prepare Parting (from dramawiki)
What I know: Attic Cat and Full House characters lived in one house and fell in love. I read on one site also that Full House and Our attitude are quite similar because it tackle marriage and divorce.
Lee Kyeong Hee
I am Sorry, I love you (MISA)
A Love to Kill
Beating Heart
Sang Doo! Let’s go to School
What I know: Revenge is the theme of MISA and A Love to Kill.
Hong Mi-ran and Hong Jeong-un
Sassy Girl, Chun Hyang
My Girl
Fantastic Couples
What I know: Chun Hyang was the real granddaughter in My Girl. ^_^ She appeared in the last episode with his husband. His name was subbed Marvin in the Philippines. I don’t know his name in Korean. ~_~ …..And then, Chun Hyang and My Girl are romantic comedies. Don’t know about Fantastic Couples.

Why do so many korean writers disappoint their audience by killing off the star actors at the end of their story? Isn’t that the state of a masochistic mind? It seems there is no hope except death for the stars instead of allowing them to live and have a happy ending. And why are the Love scenes so stiff? Is Korea still so Joseon that it is considered shameful to openly express affection for the one you love instead of being afraid of it? If the actors are going to kiss then let it be solid instead of barely touching the lips.
do ypu maybe know who the is writer of heartstrings/ you’ve fallen for me?
PS: i really like the site ^^
