When a guest character lays the foundation for a whole drama. So who is the power behind the throne?

This drama is fantastic!
I want to say that I am a fan of Bae Yong Joon, but that doesn't make me a blind and biased fan, even though it appears to be. I am a music and theater teacher. That's why I identify with this drama.
This is Bae Yong Joon's last drama as an actor and his first project as a producer. I recognize that this is Bae Yong Joon's drama that the public likes the least, because it is the one in which he participates the least, because he is not the protagonist and because of his youthful theme. But... did you guys ever think that those four episodes laid the groundwork for the rest of the drama? What would have happened if he had been with his character from 'The Ghost', throughout the drama? If only 4 episodes were enough to demonstrate his talent to recognize a hidden star behind an ambitious and talented young man, just imagine if he had been fully immersed in the drama and hadn't withdrawn due to illness! No wonder he had the vision to found and run the Keyeast agency back then!
His character was one that gave the impression of being contradictory, with wry humor. It brings back a lot of memories of his character Shin Dong Hyuk in "Hotelier". Professor Jung Ha Myung saw the hidden talent in the most unlikely places, with the nose of a bloodhound. The young people rejected by others were his chosen ones. He did the same thing when he trusted his teachers, the same ones who were his classmates in the same school. A failed teacher, about to be fired, a fellow antagonist, they were the spark for a group of young people, completely different, from different backgrounds, social classes, different lifestyles, to succeed together and alone. He erased prejudice from their minds, because in art there should be no prejudice. All artistic currents are valid and all are equally worthy. Be it popular art, be it classical or urban music.
His character was enigmatic, with ironic humor and even a little sarcastic. What teacher is going to look for his students and even protects them from the school administration? Very few! This earned him many enemies. What professor surrounds himself with prospects who are 'failures' to others and 'mediocre' professors, together to make them shine? Only 'The Phantom'!
And after laying the groundwork for what he wanted for the school, he left without a trace. But the 'trail' left by Bae Yong Joon (as The Ghost and as a person) lasts from 2011 to today.
