Episode 16: Our Love Story

From young people in their 20s to people in their 80s, all generations responded.
tvN's popular drama [Dear My Friends] writer's edition script book published!!

The drama [Dear My Friends], written by writer Noh Hee-kyung, who creates variations on people and life, for the 'old farts' of this era, has finally been published as a script book! This drama, which has been a hot topic even before it aired due to the 'Senior Avengers' cast, which has gathered Korea's top mid-career actors such as Kim Hye-ja, Na Moon-hee, Shin Goo, Kim Young-ok, Yoon Yeo-jeong, Go Doo-shim, Park Won-sook, and Joo Hyun, and the appearances of Go Hyun-jung and Jo In-sung, is the story of 'old farts' who sometimes want to ignore others and sometimes wish they would just live quietly without nagging.


However, we should not think of them as a panorama of characters who are just like the 'mothers' and 'fathers' in other dramas, who are ignorant and have no independence, and who are only stubborn and cannot see the consequences, and who 'add fame to the soap opera.'
Because it is the story of our parents who 'actually' exist in this era where people speak up, are confident that they can live on their own, and say, 'I have a dream too.'


To put it nicely, it's the twilight of youth, but to put it bluntly, it's just an old fart?!
“Damn it, don’t ignore me just because I’m old! We’ve all been young before!”

Heeja, who has lived like a princess her entire life.
When her husband suddenly died, her sons and daughters-in-law said, "My mother, who couldn't do anything, should have died sooner than my father." What the hell is that? I can live on my own, too! But from that day on, Hee-ja began to see strange things.
She went to the hospital out of sheer worry, and was diagnosed with delusional disorder. On the perfect day to die, she decided to commit suicide...
Jeong-ah has lived her entire seventy years, taking care of her husband who doesn't even hesitate to say things like, "What kind of woman doesn't even have testicles!" without raising her voice.
Why wouldn't she be angry?
I have endured this day and all this because of one promise my husband made to me when they got married: that he would travel the world after retirement.
But this rotten man, all his promises were lies.
Really? Well then, bye, take care.
I'm leaving alone!

Nanhee runs a Chinese restaurant and takes care of her elementary school seniors and juniors as if it were her own.
Business is going well, she has raised her children, and she goes out to karaoke with her friends, so she seems to have no worries, but in reality, she is rotting inside.
My husband said that the woman he truly loved was another woman, and I tried to live by torturing him for a long time, but he died young, and my only daughter frowns at the thought of her being my mother, so I wonder why she is such a woman.


And Wan, Nanhee's daughter and a writer.
She's got a headache these days because of her mom's old friends.
There's the nagging uncle Seok-gyun, the uncle Seong-jae who brags about himself at every word, and the old spinster Aunt Chungnam who only hangs out with young intellectuals because of her middle school dropout complex, and Aunt Yeong-won whose mother is always on edge.
Nanhee suggests to Wan, who is already sick and tired of it, that he write a novel about his old friends...


A tribute from Noh Hee-kyung, the creator of a lifetime masterpiece
A touching tribute to the adults of this era!

“That’s why they get cursed at.” “I wonder if anyone will say they’re old farts.” As you watch each episode, empathizing with Wan-i’s emotions, you’ll find yourself crying at some point.
When we look closely at the lives of the old farts, which are difficult to understand and misunderstand when viewed from afar, we realize that their lives are just as intense and vivid as our own.
Also, because the path they are standing on is the footsteps my parents have walked and the tomorrow we will live in.
Writer Noh Hee-kyung's passionate compassion and empathy for life and people still hold true in this drama, and it is particularly significant in that it became the driving force behind boldly breaking down prejudices about old age.


The two-volume script collection "Dear My Friends" contains eight author's cut scripts (including unbroadcast portions) in each volume, along with detailed planning intent, synopsis, and character introductions.
How about preserving the emotion of the one and only drama that all generations responded to, [Dear My Friends], through the script book?
