There are a lot of assumptions going on. How do people judge based on what you read and what is projected publicly? Nobody know exactly what is going on. The entertainment industry is known to be very harsh and not very nice behind the screen..

HAHAHA love the gif. Dude I don't know what went on behind the scenes. Could of been crazy diva attitudes galore for all we know. Or some other bull that happens when actors, writers, directors, etc. are put in the same room with each other. Saying that... It's completely unprofessional what this writer said. I would be surprised if she got any work again. Who would want to work with her? She messed up royally.

I can't help but only focus on the fact that she only has 2 dramas under her belt. Holy moly I would fear for my career if i were her.

Soooo, according to the comments I`ve read so far a woman can`t have a strong opinion about something, however controversial, unless she`s drunk, crazy, pms-ing or being rejected. And I thought the readers of this blog were mostly female. Sad.

Huh??!! What??!!
That is so crazy and incredible: I have to laugh at it... Hahahahaha!! :D

The drama did good? I never got around to watching it.. For a second, I thought she was talking about Lee Soo Kyun. I can't believe she said those things... We can totally see who's the one drunk on popularity (or something else..)

thanks for the news but i really wish i didnt read it.... this has just freaking blowed my mind...it would be as if after watching coffee prince all the actors decided to hold a press conference and continuously insult each other for 2 hours...seriously golden time was my drama for the year as a viewer i was sooo emotionally involved that even after it finished i carried the characters in my pocket for the next couple weeks...i feel all sad now that no amount of javabeans and girlfriday antics can cheer up :'(

Holy Mackerel! What was she thinking? Apparently, not at all! How can you bash a cast who has put in their all to bring her story to life? Why would you single somebody out? He is an amazing actor. He annoyed the heck out of me in Pasta, but won me over as big bro in King2Hearts! He's flipping amazing if he can do that! The writer is crazy. Crazy!!! Or perhaps wants her moment in the limelight and thought the best way was to criticize her cast. Well lady, I can do a full analysis on your show too!

*Insert Rant*

Generally, if a person does not have anything pleasant to say about another person, then it should be kept to oneself. If the writer was not happy with how her drama turned out (regardless of whether it was successful or not) and she was not happy with the acting skills of some actors, then she can frame her criticism of that with at least some tact. However, to go on and call a colleague a pig is rather rude and unprofessional.

For those who have argued the idea that there is "no smoke without fire" and that there could be more this bit of drama behind the scenes, I want to say that if you call someone a pig publicly, then at least provide legitimate reasons for saying so and that too publicly. Insulting without reasonable explanation just seems like a publicity stunt more than anything. And I don't believe that if one's acting is not up to par, then that person can be considered a pig.

unbelievable. but reading this while having breakfast and coming across that gif , I almost choked on my char siew pau.

hahaha I love the gif.... it took me a while to remember that it's from Zombieland.

So unrelated but I'm watching Can You Hear my Heart and Lee Sung Min is in it and I am appalled that he was offended! Not only that, Hwang Jung Eum is one of my favorite actresses and I'm just saddened that these actors work so hard only to be criticize. It's one thing if the drama wasn't sucessful, but the fact that it was makes me even more angrier.

People sometimes lash out in the heat of the moment, and later, much later when they have calmed down, they start to regret shooting their mouths off. I think she could have aired her grievances more privately - but then she was probably so mad she wanted to air her grievances in public and damn the consequences.

I had a stuffed pig once. He was pretty cute with his red and white checks and fluffy woolly insides. I called him Oinky.

wow, i've missed a lot of drama for the last 24 hours. had trouble reloading dramabeans yesterday, was so frustrateddd ! no idea why. gosh ! but hey thank goodness, everything went back to normal today. anyone else had the same problem?

haha okay now onto the article, so what's up with the writer?? read the article but still couldnt find a reason why she was bashing the actors. is she a butthead or something? tho i've never even heard of this drama but hey now it makes me want to start watching it.

What she said wasn't a smart move and it has nothing to do with her gender. A writer with two dramas under his belt bitching about how SOME actors (with much longer and well-respected careers) are STUFFED PIGS and let their popularity go to their heads is pulling an equally dickish move.

No special treatment for having boobs. No leaning on PMS as an excuse. You're just an idiot.

Tension behind the scenes is probably par for the course given the close quarters and intense environment of shooting 20 some odd episodes over 3/4 months. Lashing out with it in such a vicious fashion is not acceptable, particularly someone who is (theoretically) at the beginning of his/her career. Keep that shit on lockdown until you have enough weight that no one is going to touch you publicly. With only two dramas under your belt, you don't have that kind of influence yet.

That said, the writers of "King of Dramas" should totally be taking notes and trying to figure out how to use this. It probably wouldn't work for Lee Go Eun to go on such a rampage, but maybe Writer Jeong since she's had one meltdown on the show already.

Really enjoyed Golden Time. For me, the weak link in the drama was the script, not the acting. Ridiculous that the entire staff, other than Lee Sung-min, were portrayed as totally inept. Whole hospital defined medical malpractice. Writer is lucky, the only thing that saved her script was the acting of the four leads. In fact, the reason we need a season 2, is because her script didn't complete the story & we were left wanting a real ending. Good luck to Miss Writer.

Professionally: It is a bad move. In GB, the US, Canada, Korea, China and Japan. The universal thing is that writers are on the lowest rung and you have to just learn how to take it.

About calling her a bitch, a cow, PMS, moody, drunk, etc.
That's kinda out of line too... that doesn't make you better than her. That brings you to her level.

About writing scripts: Scripts are not just actor and writer. They are crew members, coordis/stylists, sponsors, directors, actors, etc.

It might have been that she noticed a lot of her lines under that particular actor were being unilaterally changed by him in such a way that she had to clean up his mess by changing her script. That would be frustrating for her if she's on a deadline and she has one concept about the character and the actor has another. You wouldn't know... and the idea that writers get to visit scene locations in real life and do it often is laughable. Sometimes the writer is invited, but there is something hanging over them to the effect of "This is a courtesy invite--don't come"

She might have issues with the PD, but not realize it. Sometimes the director changes lines here or there or gets the cutting wrong on purpose or directs the actors against what the script says.

If that's given, she might believe that she had a better direction for the drama and be frustrated after a lack of sleep. Cramming scripts can't be easy. She'd effectively have to write about 132 pages per week, live and subject to sponsor add-ons, changes from the director and actors going wild with what she's written. If they read it in a different direction, they won't fix it, so she would have to clean up what they've done. (And remember that script writers have been hospitalized under the live shoot schedule.)

Also in the scenario I wrote up for you, it doesn't make the actor necessarily bad either... but if he keeps doing it and the director keeps asking or changing the script... it would reflect on her, and make it harder for her to produce...

Since this is just after her writing the drama. She's likely to be frustrated, sleep deprived and since she's young she probably doesn't know better, even if she worked as an assistant.

This doesn't excuse her unprofessional behavior, and the previous scenario is a best guess on my part... but really? Launching at her with name calling for name calling? Where did trying to rise above it go? Where did trying to understand a person's situation go?

Who knows what happened, really?

In any case, writers are artists as well. So, I'm not supremely surprised that some may have dramatic opinions.

The difference between writers and actors in terms of public interviews, though, is that actors are more likely to have had media training than writers.

What she said came off as rude, but it also sounds an awful lot like the honest frustration of an artist who was having an honest conversation with a girl friend. Think about it -- if your coworkers and your boss were driving you nuts and it was a very stressful situation that had you drinking giant mugs of Bitter afterwards, you probably wouldn't mince words -- with a friend -- either. It would come out EXACTLY the way she had said it.

Which makes me all the more interested in under what context the interview had taken place.

I don't know. The oddness of the interview kind of has me withholding judgment for the time being.

It's also difficult to judge knowing that when it comes to the talented-but-socially-awkward/backward nerd and the media-trained-popular-well-liked-good-looking guy, even if the talented nerd was telling the truth, it's sad to watch to the whole world just pounce.

For all we know, she could have been totally right. And the fact that it's so outside the boundaries of social norms in that world to put out there, publicly, without filter, if you were to set aside the intense, negative emotion, there is something quite refreshing about it.

We know tensions can be high and remain high long after the storm is over.

Plus, talent is talent. Whether you're an actor or a writer.

I really don't care if someone comes off as a pompous, arrogant asshole in the public eye as long as that person gives me something of substance that I can enjoy.

Plus, talent doesn't always translate into having amazing social skills when it comes to expressing frustrations the size of Jupiter.

IN RECAP: it was a successful series in which the writer and the actors did not always see eye to eye, and the writer took it upon herself to express her frustration on a public front and is probably being publicly lynched or mortified as we speak as a result of making a bad PUBLIC decision.

Still, it was a little odd, wasn't it? The interview? So odd!

“It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims

Oh poor enraged dragon, it feels good throwing our thunder around & telling asses off but , you'd be lying , if you said , the morning after , doesn't feel like a bad hangover . I understand the occasional need to shot someone's head off but seriously , there's a better way so that it doesn't come back & bite you in the behind.

smh! maybe she thought they would be up for the part! and got disappointed in the end lmaoooo! like i said above she has a right to not like her actors
