After Seo-jun returned to Korea, Jonathan Will, the director, confidently started working on the script with the completed synopsis.
He had to add dialogue, scene descriptions, and action directions to the synopsis, which only briefly summarized the important parts of the plot.
The script had to be about 90 to 120 minutes long, although it could be longer if necessary.
“Would this line be better here…?”
It had only been a week, but he had a lot of confidence in the script that was based on the synopsis, which was created after heated discussions, etings, and fights (?) with the genius actor. He was sure that other people would like it too.
“How about this? I wrote it like this.”
Among those other people, there was also the genius actor in Korea.
“It’s good.”
Seo-jun nodded lightly after reading a few pages of the script that Jonathan sent him. Jonathan smiled brightly at his reaction.
After that, Jonathan sent Seo-jun the script every ti he finished a scene, which was quite often.
“I did it like this for this scene…”
“It’s nice. You expressed it well.”
But,
“What about this scene? Is it a bit weird?”
“No. It’s perfect. Jonathan.”
Strangely enough,
“Ugh. Jun. Isn’t this dialogue a bit weird?”
“It’s fine.”
He only heard the sa answer to all his questions.
Jonathan blinked his eyes as he looked at the script that he had just sent to Seo-jun. The letters that filled the monitor screen looked like garbage.
“…What is this?”
“It’s good. Jonathan. I have to eat dinner now, so I have to hang up. You should go to bed soon. It’s dawn in LA right now. It’s good that you’re working hard on the script, but take care of your health too.”
Seo-jun’s answer was incredibly light.
That made Jonathan Will feel uneasy.
***
“Jun only says it’s good when he used to say no when we were writing the synopsis?!”
Jonathan said with a desperate expression. He was so anxious that his legs were shaking.
“He’s definitely disappointed! The synopsis was good, but the script is trash! It’s terrible no matter how I write it! He doesn’t care anymore because he’s given up on !”
He was now tearing his hair with both hands and mumbling to himself. If there was a table, he would have banged his head on it.
“Ugh! I disappointed Jun… This movie is ruined! It’s ruined!”
Ryan Will listened to Jonathan’s lant with one ear and ignored it with the other. His eyes didn’t even leave the book he was reading.
As expected. He ca for nothing.
But he was his nephew, so he felt like he had to say sothing.
“If Jun says it’s good, then it’s good.”
“No way!”
He was imdiately contradicted.
“No, how can this be good? It’s so la! Look, uncle. This dialogue here. Wow! How did I write this? Even the script I wrote in middle school was better, don’t you think? Oh, should I just use that? That might be better, right? What should I do? Ugh! I’m screwed! I’m screwed…”
Ryan Will looked at his nephew, who was rolling on the floor, and said.
“Get out.”

“/Do I have bad writing syndro…/”
“/Bad writing…/ What?”
Seo-jun scratched his cheek at the English that ca from the other side of the phone.
The person he was talking to was one of the staff mbers of Marina Studio’s [Jin Natra Series (tentative title)] team, who was in charge of taking care of the writer and director Jonathan Will.
When Seo-jun was having a fun (?) eting with Jonathan at Ryan Will’s mansion in LA, he helped them by gathering the necessary materials and expert advice.
That staff mber contacted Cocoa Entertainnt to check on Jonathan Will’s current state and get so advice. Since it was about the script, he thought it would be better to talk to Seo-jun, so he was talking to him now.
“Sotis you think your writing is bad. Even if other people say it’s good, you feel like everything you write is weird.”
He knew that because he had so friends who were writers.
‘I’ve tried it a few tis too.’
He wasn’t as bad as Jonathan, but he had so doubts about whether he did his best when he adapted [Mirror] and wrote the script for [MOEB-436].
“Ah, I see. That happens quite often.”
He finally heard a voice that seed to understand. It was no different in Arica.
“So, do you really think Jonathan’s script is good?”
He answered with a smile at the question that was mixed with worry.
“Yes.”
And he added with a sincere voice.
“Please tell him that I would have gone to LA right away if I thought it wasn’t good.”
The staff mber, who knew that Seo-jun wasn’t joking, finally relaxed and said with a laugh.
“Okay. I’ll tell him that. Thank you for your ti. Jun.”
“Don’t ntion it. Please contact anyti if you have any problems. And don’t worry too much, because sotis you think your writing is the best.”
He wondered if that ti would be more problematic.
Seo-jun was about to hang up the phone with a small smile, thinking that he might have to go to LA for real.
“Yes, I understand. Oh, by the way, I should tell you this in advance since I contacted you.”
The staff mber continued. Seo-jun tilted his head.
“A short video with a hint of Jin Natra 1 will be added as a cookie video, not a trailer.”
“Cookie video… Do you an the movie that cos out in January?”
“Yes. Mad Hatter.”
The new hero of season 2, [Mad Hatter]
The movie was scheduled to be released next January, which was about a month away by date.
Seo-jun’s eyes widened at the faster-than-expected schedule.
He wondered if [Jin Natra 1 (tentative title)] would really be released next year.
“That’s pretty fast.”
“Ha. Ha. Ha. We’re in a hurry too.”
If season 1’s focus was RedBone, season 2’s focus was Jin Natra.
The staff mber swallowed the words that everyone at Marina Studio thought so and said with a smile.
“So you might have to co to Arica, so I’m telling you in advance.”
“Okay. Please contact the agency when it’s confird.”
“Okay. Thank you very much for today. Jun.”
Seo-jun smiled at the sincere and polite farewell of the staff mber.

Cocoa Entertainnt, actor Lee Seo-jun’s exclusive practice room.
“We haven’t heard from them yet, but there might be filming in the first sester of next year.”
“Yes. I think so too.”
Seo-jun nodded at Choi Tae-woo’s words.
“I wanted to film during the sumr vacation, though.”
From what the staff mber said, it seed that Marina Studio was very determined to release [Jin Natra 1 (tentative title)] next year.
‘I was going to take classes in the first sester of sophomore year…’
As expected, it was not easy to balance filming and studying.
But he wanted to do well in both, so he had no choice but to think of other ways.
He could get attendance credit for his classes by appearing in works, but that would defeat the purpose of enrolling in KNUA.
“I guess I’ll have to take sumr courses.”
“That’s right. Oh, does KNUA have online courses? If they have online courses, you can take them from Arica too.”
Seo-jun blinked at Choi Tae-woo’s words. He hadn’t thought of online courses, since he was in the acting departnt, which had a lot of practice.
“Just a mont. I’ll ask.”
Seo-jun took out his phone.
