Summary
JEONGISU: Written by Her, Read by Him is a historical romance drama set in late Joseon Korea. It centers on the jeongisu, professional storytellers who read novels aloud to crowds in the marketplace.
Dahan, the most celebrated storyteller in Hanyang, meets Eun Garam, a woman who writes novels in the vernacular Korean script. Together they pursue The Chilseojeon, a secret book left behind by Garam's father, the historical figure Heo Gyun, and are drawn into the political upheavals of their time.
The bond between the woman who writes and the man who reads drives the narrative, staged across the book-lending houses and street performances of late Joseon popular culture. The story they create together spreads through his performances and ultimately reveals a buried truth.

'Studio YoSin' is a webtoon production company and an IP holder that is responsible for the planning, development, and production of various works. They are incorporating story IPs that can expand their business, not only through webtoons but also through video adaptations and secondary creations like OSMU. Unlike typical agencies or studios that rely on external contracts or outsourced work after providing a plan, it is challenging for them to secure IPs and maintain consistent quality. However, 'YoShn' compensates for these weaknesses through a unique system where their in-house exclusive writers collaborate on their creations.
