Summary
Format 60 min × 8 eps / Genre Black Comedy, Meta-Drama
In early-2000s Korea—when TV series were written overnight and shot like live shows—the queen of melodrama collapses into a coma. To keep the broadcast alive, her housekeeper, Na-young, steps in as a secret ghostwriter. The scripts make no “sense”—and the ratings explode.
Across a meta structure where real-world producers, actors, and viewers collide with the show-within-the-show, the series deconstructs “makjang” tropes (secret births, amnesia, outrageous twists) while landing authentic emotional beats.
The Ghostwriter Behind the Drama is a sharp industry satire and a human story that keeps asking: what is “fun,” and who really authors the story?
