Life, Once Again!

articipated in.
He might have looked that up on the internet before they met, but still, that was out of interest and consideration for her, wasn’t it?

The food melted down without a trace in her mouth, and the conversation tickled her ears.
Ever since she started writing the script for the drama, she felt really hurried whenever it was past 6 because of her stress, but today, she couldn’t feel the time passing at all.
She even felt like she was on holiday.
She felt like she would get incredibly good character lines if she maintained her current mood.

“How about some wine? If that bothers with your work, then I’ll order something else.”

“Oh, no.
Don’t say that.
Writers are inseparable from drinking alcohol.”

“Then do you like drinking as well?”

“I don’t enjoy it that much, but I don’t refuse when I’m offered a drink.
There are a lot of writers around me who are good at drinking, so hanging out with them made my capacity larger.
Moreover, I did work as a writer for entertainment programs, so I had a lot of get-togethers here and there.”

She stared at the red wine in the wine glass for a while before taking a sip.
The chaebol rival of drama protagonists always drank like this – it felt like a dream that she had realized a desire that she had always written about.
Of course, she frequented hotel restaurants when she worked on her writing, but it was the first time that such a handsome actor had brought her here in private.

“I really enjoyed ‘Doctor’s Office.’ The characters there are so much like what I imagined mine to be, so I get jealous whenever I watch it.
I always wanted to have you do an act like that in a different piece.”

“I would have joined your side if I had gotten the scenario for ‘Doctors’ first.
What a pity.”

“Thank you, even if it’s just words.
But still, I’m sure you have it good.
Doctor’s Office is making more headlines than Doctors is.
Thanks to that, my back hurts a lot these days.”

“Your back?”

“I’m usually okay when I’m resting or before my work starts airing, but once the drama starts airing and the viewing rates are out, my back starts to hurt.
It’s especially worse when it loses out to another piece from the same time slot.”

“Well, I’m sorry.”

“You don’t need to feel sorry.
It’s my fault for having terrible writing.”

“Don’t say that.
Your drama is really interesting.”

“What good is being interesting? I lost; that’s what matters.
Actually, when I do interviews, I say that I don’t care about viewing rates and that I just do my own work, but I’m a person too; I also care about popularity.
It’s natural for me to want my own child to do better than other people’s.”

“Aren’t you a being a little too honest?”

“Maybe it’s because I had a drink.
Don’t you feel the same, Mr.
Giwoo?”

Giwoo smiled and nodded.

“Actually, yeah.
I also want the pieces I do to have good results.
If the viewing rates are good and it becomes a hot topic, that will be another line on my career, so I do mind.”

“See? It’s normal for everyone to want to do well.”

Eunbin ate the last piece of steak.
Tomorrow, the third episode of Doctors as well as the fifth episode of Doctors Office would go live.
The viewing rates would probably change according to what the searched term is during the night.
Although many people say that writers consider their own piece to be the best, her self-confidence would hit rock bottom when the results actually come out.
When she watched the first episode, she shouted ‘yes’ in joy, but she didn’t know that she would actually lose.
Eunbin, who was smiling bitterly, recalled that Giwoo was in front of her.
She was actually drinking with the main cast of a competing drama.
She felt a little more depressed, but she didn’t show it on the surface.
Right now, it was time to enjoy herself and forget about work.
Just then,

“I know it might be rude of me to say this, but I’ll tell you since I seem to get along with you, writer.
There’s one thing I felt disappointed about while watching Doctors.”

“Was my writing terrible?”

“No.
I really like the way you proceed with your plot.
But due to the nature of dramas, you have no choice but to focus on the characters, right?”

“That’s true.
Doctor’s Office is supposed to be a medical politics drama, whereas Doctors is a human drama.
It’s not surprising that the characters have a lot of influence over whether the drama does well or not.”

“That’s it.
I was watching the drama, and I saw a character that was too good to be wasted after just being used once.”

“Really? Who is it.”

“The character who’s called ‘Bigfoot’ among the interns.
You know, the one who has the comedy role.”

“Oh, that one.”

“Have you perhaps looked at the actor who plays it?”

“I did.
I felt really good because he acted just the way I pictured the character in the drama to be.
He seemed to be acquainted with the producer as well.
I haven’t met him in person, but I did think that he had an incredible understanding of the character.”

Giwoo rested his chin on his interlocked hands.

“I thought that that actor was really good at setting up the mood.
I feel that the cheerful atmosphere from episode one was heavily influenced by him.
But starting with episode two, the only role he had was just smiling.”

“It can’t be helped because of the distribution of roles.”

“That’s what I found rather disappointing.
I’m sure you have a splendid eye for actors, but actors have a different eye for other actors.
I was more absorbed in the scenes where that actor came out.”

“Really?”

Eunbin thought about the minor actor that she didn’t know the name of.
She felt like the producer told her what kind of person he was when she was checking over the roles, but she forgot about it because it wasn’t important.
All she could remember was that his surname was Han.

“Should we get some ice cream as a dessert?”

“I love ice cream.”

For a topic he talked about rather seriously, he switched topics too quickly, but Eunbin didn’t think about it deeply.
Giwoo must also have just mentioned it in passing.
The talk went to about movies they recently watched, and Eunbin soon forgot about anything related to the drama.
