Two star writers will appear on 'Questions from Son Seok-hee'.
On April 1, MBC's 'Questions from Son Seok-hee' will feature writer Kim Eun-hee, known for 'Signal', 'Kingdom', and writer Kim Eun-sook, known for 'Lovers in Paris', 'Mr. Sunshine', and 'The Glory', meeting with Son Seok-hee. It is rare for both writers, who do not often appear in broadcast interviews, to appear together, leading to speculation in the broadcasting industry that it feels like an April Fool's joke.
Writer Kim Eun-hee is in the final stages of completing the script for the sequel to her hit work 'Signal', titled 'Second Signal'. Writer Kim Eun-sook has shaken the global market with her recent work 'The Glory', and her next project 'All Will Be Achieved' is in the later stages of production. The two are close friends, standing at the top of their respective fields in genre drama and romantic comedy, and they even refer to each other as their only friends.
If drama is the art of the writer and ultimately remains in the form of dialogue, Kim Eun-hee and Kim Eun-sook can be considered representative writers. Lines like "Is it like that there too? It's been 20 years... something must have changed, right?" (Kim Eun-hee, 'Signal') and "You are inside this" (Kim Eun-sook, 'Lovers in Paris') remain iconic lines in the crime genre drama and romantic comedy genre, respectively. The process of how such lines were created will also be introduced.
The two shared their joys and sorrows as drama writers on the program and expressed their honest thoughts on the social situation in Korea following the martial law. Kim Eun-sook expressed regret that if she had recorded after the Constitutional Court's decision, she could have approached it with a lighter heart. When Son Seok-hee mentioned, "The current social situation will eventually be portrayed in movies or dramas," and expressed his expectations for the two writers' roles, both writers strongly agreed.
The production team of 'Questions' stated, "Although the Constitutional Court's decision has not yet been made, making it difficult for citizens to return to their daily lives, we hope that viewers can watch the program with a sense of comfort, even for a moment, in the meaning of this season's subtitle, 'Still, life goes on'."
'Questions from Son Seok-hee' has decided to conduct a live broadcast related to impeachment on April 8, regardless of the Constitutional Court's decision. The production team conveyed, "We hope the decision will be made by then, but we are planning another live broadcast as there may be a need to analyze the situation calmly even before the decision."
The episode featuring writers Kim Eun-hee and Kim Eun-sook will air on 'Questions from Son Seok-hee' on April 1 at 9 PM.
