Thousand Day Promise writer Kim Soo-hyun tackles two dramas at once
by javabeans
Kim Soo-hyun‘s latest TV series, melodrama Thousand Day Promise, hasn’t even begun airing yet and already the star scriptwriter is taking on another project: Kim recently announced that she’s going to be taking a short break from Thousand Day Promise to pen the three-episode for CSTV, a general broadcast station run by Chosun Ilbo.
I wouldn’t get too worried about Kim running into trouble, though; she tweeted last week that she’d just submitted the scripts for Episodes 13 and 14 of Thousand Day Promise. (The drama is slotted for 20 total.) She added, “I hear the filming crew is working extremely hard on shoots.” In a live-shoot world, it’s impressive — and reassuring — that this drama won’t have last-minute script changes and hastily drawn stories to blame.
Kim has generally written longer dramas, mostly in the 60- to 80-episode range — in fact, Thousand Day Promise is her first miniseries in four years — but she’s written a few 3-episoders in the past. Mostly, I’m just waiting for October 17 to come ’round so I can finally get a glimpse of Promise. I’ve already got my Kim Rae-won adoration and a box of Kleenex at the ready.

Promise sounds really good, and from the sound of it, it's going to be a ratings monster.
*sighs* I'm swearing off dramas until my exams, Imma going to have to rely on your recaps to tide me over ^^

Ep 20 made me cry too. Still does. Makes my eyes water just thinking about. Needless to say, I am a Kim Soo Hyun fan who will be watching her new drama!

Aww, I'm more excited for 'Tree With Deep Roots' since this drama just seems like Sad City.

Oh, she looks so *nice*! I want to have tea with her and ask her about cookie recipes. :-)
I also just found out she's the "Life Is Beautiful" writer, so I wish I could tell her that I adore her for being such a strong voice for equality in an industry that really doesn't encourage people to speak out.
You're one of my heroes, woman. Plus, you write like a demon, *and* you seem like an adorable lady who makes a mean cookie.
Where can I sign up for her fan club? :-)

I'm excited for this. I just recently discovered how awesome Kim Rae Won is, like this past week. I re-watched ...ing cause I didn't realize that was him. I then watched My Love Patzzi (also cause I wanted to see Kim Jae Won also...I was in withdrawal from finishing Can You Hear My Heart). And I watched Plum Blossom last night. He's a really good actor... he has such warmth. I can't wait to see him in this drama.
I'm going to miss his floppy long hair though. He wore it so well. I didn't know I liked that hair cut that much until I saw it on him. So cute.

Woot! Su Ae and Lee Sang-woo in one post! Reminds me of 9 end 2 outs.
And Kim Rae-won and Song Chang-eui need to be mentioned, of course.

Can you please remind me, what did LSW play in 9E2O?
I watched it, but for the life of me cannot remember his role!

LSW was Su Ae's high school boyfriend that was also Lee Jung Jin's best friend in 9e2o. That was a fantastic drama!

What a woman! Now that is a pro!
Very likely I won't be watching Thousand Day Promise, since I tend to avoid sad stories, but I'm cheering this drama on.
