Synopsis

After his first drama flopped, Hyunseok Lee gave up on being a PD. But when he finds himself being granted one last wish in his dying moments, he wants only one thing: to produce the ultimate makjang drama. Now, he's been given a second shot at life (and the assistance of a ghostly PD), but he's on a time crunch to achieve ratings and recognition. With no budget, rookie actors, and an amateur writer, Hyunseok's got his work cut out for him. But what's a good drama without a few twists and turns?

Preliminary (73/? eps)
Its premise was simple and straight forward. Make a makjang drama people will be interested in to save himself(the MC). Its pretty ridiculous if I do say so myself, as drama's ratings are volatile.
This means that, he(the mc) has a goal that is pretty much impossible to achieve. While this is a bad thing as having volatile goals could produce a lackluster ending, this will also give the author some leeway to prolong the series if need be in case that this work proved to be really interesting.

While they implemented the idea of system into this story, so far, I don't see any reason why ...

Preliminary (125/? eps)
This is one of the funniest stories i've ever read.

I just finished the whole story and i honestly wish i could keep on reading it, the main character it's really funny in a nonchalant way(?) and together with his co-protagonist they make the perfect comedy duo. There's also a little but of angst and a pretty cute romance. Sometimes it might feel like a bunch of nonsense but i think thats the whole point, the way the regression and the system are used is nothing out of the world but this story is strong because of the type of characters it has.

I would definitely re-read ...
