Synopsis
Failed PD gets second chance to create ultimate makjang drama with ghostly help and zero resources.
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? (Source: Tapas Media)

- 8 “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....”
