SIMPLY DUMBSTRUCK!!!!!

I simply don't have words to express what I felt when I went through this drama
this is something else
I never expected that I would like this drama to this extent
from a surface it looks like a very fluffy light hearted bookish drama but it's way more than that
it is way more deeper than that
first of all hats off to the writer who wrote so much of books references
if you are a book lover then this is your ultimate favourite drama

every character was played so so so well
every character had such a beautiful back story with that struggling with their day to day life
the male lead suffers from a burden for keeping a secret for 10 years long
the female lead is suffering to meet her ends and earn money for her child and to deal with the depression of getting divorce

the founders of the publication company total in five
they also have their own back story and simply the office is so beautifully done
the office scenes
how everything proceeds so nicely

the second male lead and second female lead are completely non-toxic
this is what I always want
non-toxic second leads to do not hinder in in the lives of the leads
to support them love them dearly and being
selfless
among the five founders the head is a single father and he deals with all the pressure of meeting deadlines and balancing different personalities in the same company

the director of the company who is a female is a single woman working for her career she is shown a very strong side
she balance the office quirkyness with her sternness
she shows that she is fine but she never shows that she is lonely and needs someone
she cares for people from the backstage
never let shit shown on her face

the second female member of the publication group who is the very sweet lady and she is dealing with her own family problems

the male lead is also the member of the publication group

there is one more male member who is very kind hearted and passionate about the new writers or the authors who are not getting published
all of them are very sweet you will love them you will root for them

there is second female lead who is selfless hardworking and very cute
second male lead you will root for him and he is so kind loving and handsome

What I love the most
number 1
the book references and deep knowledge about the Korean literature
different quotes stated from the books and the bookish aesthetic theme

number 2
it is very detailed drama
it deals with many issue faced by publication companies such as books not being able to sold as much as expected plagiarism authors cancel their contract mistakes and typos in edits and a lot more

Number 3
It taught about things like
How a book is actually printed
first it is edited then checked again and again by the founders
proofreading
press release
accurate bio of the author
assigning book designer for book cover
Book marketing strategy
The painful scene of shredding the non sold books

Number 4

The romance is very bookish
They give such beautiful metaphor out of books
Romance is very simple heartwarming and perfect
Many heart fluttering moments
The dialogues are very witty


I started writing this as soon as I completed the drama...
Unfortunately It did not get save and it was deleted but I could not refrain from writing it again I know that may be it won't be read by anyone but I really want to shout out what I felt
This is the drama for everyone but if you are a reader...
No drama will surpass this!!!!watch it please..I beg you
