There is one line from a drama that is particularly memorable.
Not with fancy words or decorated sentences, but with lines that move my heart in an instant.
We call that one line that seems to have been written while looking into myself a 'famous line'.
In "There Was Never a Day That Wasn't Dazzling," written by Jeong Deok-hyeon, the most-watched TV personality in South Korea, a popular culture critic loved by the public and trusted by writers, there are forty-five famous lines that touched his heart and a warm portrayal of life.
If there's a drama that makes me laugh and cry with you at the end of a hard day, I feel like life is a little more worth living.
I recommend this book to those who want to create a happy ending, at least for today.
You may find a line from a drama that will comfort you in your weary life.

There are many things in the world that are actually right next to us, but their existence is not revealed, so we end up standing in the background.
Isn't it because no one is looking at them and staying by their side that they become the last?
To be honest, I don't have the courage to live with the past like Kim Min-ki.
That is the life of great people who quietly change the world.
Instead, I want to be by your side, neither in front nor behind.
I want to be someone who recognizes the value of things that go unnoticed in the world and who can share that value with others.
I wish this book was like that.
Giving you a moment to breathe after a tiring day.

--- p.13 From the author's note

“If you look at life, it’s a battle between external and internal forces, and no matter what happens, if you have internal strength, you can endure.” In “My Mister,” the middle-aged male protagonist talks about life by comparing it to the work of diagnosing the safety of an old building.
Just as a building will not collapse if it has a strong internal structure that can withstand external forces, no matter how much time passes and the wind and rain shake the building, so too is our life.
The so-called 'Johnber'.

"Perhaps the moments I shouldn't miss were shining brightly somewhere, constantly sending me signals." When the line "Carrying Seonjae and Running Away" was about Im Sol, who had jumped back in time, not knowing it at the time, but realizing that there were such precious moments, flowed, John Lennon's "Imagine" was running through my mind.
Everyone has at least one moment when they wish they could turn back time.
And this is not impossible.
We have music that can take us on a journey through time.

--- p.72 From "Carrying Seonjae and Running Away"

There are things that are as huge as the sunlight on a spring day, but are always there, so we live forgetting their existence.
When I wake up, I always see my mother's table set as if it were a given, my mother-in-law who was always there by my side like 'Miryang, Secret Sunshine', my father-in-law's helping hand and prayers for me, my wife who always chimes in with what I say and organizes my jumbled thoughts.
It's like snow in winter, flowers blooming in spring, or warm sunshine.
It's so huge that it's hard to see, and it's so obvious that its miraculous events are hidden.

--- p.142 From “The Strange Lawyer Woo Young-woo”

“I don’t know where I’m trapped, but I want to break through.
I really hope you are happy and really happy.
So, I want to say, “Ah, this is life, this is living.” While pondering this line from “My Liberation Diary,” I think about what true happiness is.
We tell ourselves that we are not unhappy by living like everyone else, saying that life is all the same, but aren't we mistaking that for happiness?
Aren't we trying so hard to package that as happiness?

--- p.155 From “My Liberation Diary”

Of course, there is a manual for life.
If you exercise hard, your body will become stronger, if you are active in social life, you will make more friends, or if you study hard, your grades will improve.
With these wise words, we will not lose our way in this uncertain life.
But as I get older, there are more and more things that don't go according to the instructions.
There is a manual for life that serves as a guideline for growing and living safely, but as we grow up, we encounter many variables that fall outside the manual.
In other words, isn't life something that has a manual for life, but doesn't always go according to the manual?

--- p.202 From "Namnam"

Words are like thorns made of emotions, and when you let them out, they can sting someone.
So, if you take it out carelessly, the other person will avoid it or turn away from it because they feel its sharp edge before the true meaning can reach them.
Those who know it well are therefore careful with their words.
In that silence, there are bound to be more words swallowed and swallowed.
As we grow older, we become more and more reserved, perhaps because we are well aware of the thorns in our words.

--- p.241 From "No Longer Human"

In the drama "Move to Heaven," a father and son who work together as estate organizers always say these words and offer a moment of silence before entering the deceased's space and organizing their belongings.
However, the son who was mourning someone's death and organizing his belongings is unable to accept his father's sudden death.
The reason the son finally accepted this, organized the remains, and placed the remains in the cemetery was because of the words his father always shouted like a slogan with his son.
“Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
As long as you remember, it will not disappear.”

Where is life without drama?
Each and every life is its own dazzling drama.
Just like the line in "Dazzling" that says, "There was never a day that wasn't dazzling," when we look back on a day that has passed a long time ago, everyone's life cannot help but be a dazzling drama.
