dramas about writers

Cas

As the title suggests I am looking for dramas where there is a writer as one of the main characters. Since I am a writer myself I love watching movies and shows about writers. I am okay with any country and it doesn't matter whether it is a movie or show. please put a title and then if it is a movie or show next to it.

*rolls up sleeves*

Koi wa Tatakoi! (a.k.a.  Love and Fight!) features a female lead who is a writer (though the drama is more about her making observations to use in her articles and less about her actually writing, think Sex and the City)

Egao no Hosoku is about a manga-ka and the woman who's been hired to prod him into finishing his latest work;

and Love Story is about an editor assigned to a novelist in the middle of a slump.

I'm extremely surprised W hasn't been mentioned yet. Granted the focus isn't on the writer himself, but the story instead (literally, LOL).
