You're a Prosecutor, So Why Are You Playing a Womanizer in a Korean Drama?

Park Yeon-jin Choi Sulli Sister-in-law Mao Xianmin Li Shala Sister-in-law Xu Minying

It's been a long time since I've seen a dark protagonist like this; it's really satisfying. It's more engaging than those protagonists who, despite being transported to different worlds and having no discernible background, are always engaging in self-moral criticism.

Korean entertainment is pretty boring. In Korea, no matter how prestigious your profession is, you can only be a lackey. If you don't become a lackey, you're guaranteed to die. In the early stages, you can play as celebrities or presidents, but even in the later stages, you wouldn't dare mess with the Americans. This was true of Hong Kong in the past, and it's true of Japan and South Korea now. No matter how exciting the protagonist's story is, it's destined to be a tragedy.

This novel gets worse and worse as it goes on. It's full of reckless behavior and doesn't value its own life. Every time, it pretends to reflect and promises never to take such risks again. The next page costs fifty or sixty points. How can you have the nerve to ask for so much money?

The author should have started with a single character; marriage would have been a mistake. A female protagonist who only knows how to bully others would never be a mistress, whether it's the female prosecutor or Mao Xianmin. If it were written that way, it would feel very forced, and the divorce would also be flawed.

South Korea is a three-way power structure: prosecutors, chaebols (conglomerates), and the president. They check and balance each other, so it's impossible to say which is most powerful. After all, the prosecutors are backed by the US military, and the chaebols by Wall Street. Roh Moo-hyun cracked down too hard on the chaebols, forcing the prosecutors and chaebols to unite.

The author clearly didn't write an outline: trying to incorporate every Korean drama from the start is impossible. There's no main plot or subplot. They just wrote in whatever Korean drama they saw, and wanted to include every female character they saw: in the end, the author probably doesn't even know what they're writing. There should have been at least one or two main plots, with the others secondary.

Keep writing! Do you have an outline? If you maintain a good pace and keep writing, your results will definitely be good. You could consider adding some popular actors and idols from real life, arranged chronologically, as this could attract readers of Korean entertainment novels. (For example, me 🙂) Bae Joo-hyun and Han So-hee, one from 1991 and the other from 1994. I'm not sure about your timeline, but if the timeline for when these two were popular is correct, you could consider adding 🙂.

The South Korean prosecutor is above the US; how can he climb up there without licking America's toes?

How cruel! The protagonist actually made his wife kneel down and apologize to a group of ordinary people. He can't even handle these people, yet he dares to talk about climbing the social ladder. What wealthy and powerful person would make their wife and mother-in-law kneel down and apologize for fear of possible retaliation from ordinary people, and even promise to seek their forgiveness? With that kind of ambition, he still wants to rise to the top? He'll probably stay at the bottom forever.
