I just wanted to continue writing. You are a great inspiration. Thank you for sharing your great talent. Can you make a script out of my story? This was my very humble ambition after watching your art. From the bottom of my heart I thank you again. Traci Ann Borja Apr 24 2020 10:26 am Please write season 2 of chicago typewriter please. Lola Martin Apr 03 2020 11:43 pm "Kill Me, Heal Me" is an outstanding drama. I have watched it twice and each time find new layers of characters, themes but especially Truths about human nature, compassion and mental/emotional health. The theme of the pain and confusion of Disassociative Disorder was accurate, however it was also real in it's hopefulness. Thank you for not making Cha Do Hyun a criminal but instead a man who struggles to be decent & responsible. Ji Sung's acting range was brilliant in bringing to life your character. I look forward. to your future work and without question, its successes. Cherry Apr 02 2020 10:31 am You are awesome. PCJ800819 Sep 29 2019 7:56 pm One of my fav screenwriter...

Arihant Aug 31 2017 8:01 am I found that 2 of my new faves "Chicago Typewriter " and "Kill Me Heal me" are written by Jin so wan.Seriously,this writer should be writing mystery novels as I found both the shows intricately plotted and with unexpected revelations,which would not be lacking of a Keigo Higashino novel! Will now definitely catch up to "Moon that embraces the sun" .Keep the good work coming writer nim!

And because of writer-nim, i plan to watch chicago typewriter. Normally i want to watch a drama because of the plot or actor/actress. But because it is from jin soo wan writer-nim, i don't need second thoughts, and watched it. I just want to say, you are really an admirable writer. Such a great drama again from you, and it is the kinds of plot i like. My fav dramas = Jin Soi Wan writer-nim wrotes. I will be waiting for your great script again.

To date, Chicago Typewriter is my favorite. You seem to just get better. Thank you and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Lola Martin Apr 26 2017 12:13 pm Ms. Jin Soo-Wan, you are an exceptional writer. "Kill Me, Heal Me" is an extraordinary piece of work: moving, insightful, supportive of mental health & anti-abuse, hopeful & compassionate. It was also funny, tender, intellectually challenging. Loved how you showed that happiness, love and acceptance can transform and heal. The characters large and small, but especially the Alters, were each given a story, no one was "black & white", and joined with the others in growth; that is Art...Also thank you for showing that there are different kinds of forgiveness; not all abusers need to be forgiven just because they ask. Looking forward to your future work. My congratulations to you, the director, all the actors especially Ji Sung and staff. hainetane Apr 16 2017 7:42 pm I watch CT and saw her right away!!!!

While TMETS was okay,i can't say i enjoy the drama thoroughly but it still a show that was worth watching especially for the perfection potrayal of KSH as the king but what amazes me the most was KMHL. Everything about the drama was perfection. When i say perfection in every aspects i really do mean it:) TQ for writing dramas that touches viewers inside and out. eila san Jan 31 2016 12:41 am When i was watching KMHM, i have a hunch that the writer of KMHM and TMTETS is the same writer as the scripts quite similar. It turn out i was right! Besides, it got quite similar plot as well, about lost of childhood memories and first love. You're good Ms Writer! Love from Malaysia. :) boY Jan 19 2016 7:32 pm You such unbelievable amazing writer...Please write a drama about a Princess for your next project and cast Moon Chae Won as the lead..It was my dreams to watch such drama with a great melo actress like her...<3 heolkdrama Dec 29 2015 3:08 am Your writings are amazing especially in The Moon Embracing the Sun and Kill Me Heal Me! Both are in my favourites list and will re-watch it again and again! Absolutely taken in by the way the story runs and when its translated visually through the drama, it is beautiful! The balance of humour and sincerity is daebak! Hope to see more of your writings in the future! <3 DAEBAKKK! Cha Do Hyun Dec 14 2015 3:26 pm Kill me, Heal me was so fkin amazing!! This is by far my favourite Korean/regular drama EVER (followed by Secret Garden) The writer is amazing and I can't wait to watch more of her works in the future. The plot is so original and perfect and I wish that it was more popular than it actually is now. More people need to watch this. Like seriously Oh Ri Jin Dec 06 2015 6:43 am OMG GREAT DRAMA I'VE EVER SEEN. IM A FAN OF YOU SINCE I WATCHED KILL ME HEAL ME. am i so late for fan-ing you? it feels like im going to talk to you. huaaaaaa daebak!!! keep writing excellent story! i'll update from now on all abt your creations LOL Sep 29 2015 7:01 pm I cant believe two of my fav drama series "KMHM" and "METS" was well-made by the same scriptwriter! Hope May 17 2015 10:44 am You did so many things wonderfully well with Kill Me, Heal Me with the well-paced story; humor; themes of forgiveness, love of family and friends, admirable work ethics, etc.; mentally engaging plot... just to name a few. The one thing I would like for you to omit in your next drama is the vulgar and profane language you included in episodes 1, 13, and 18 as it truly took away from the integrity of the story and was completely unnecessary to convey the depth of emotion desired in those scenes. One of the best and most admirable things about Korean dramas is that viewers can typically watch them without fear of being zinged by foul language, nudity, and blatant sex. Please continue to do what you have done so well in the past - it's very much appreciated and such a breath of fresh air in all that's available to watch. attwell Apr 07 2015 3:27 am I watch your kill me heal me and it is the best. The plot is smart, mysterious, hillarious, and so sweet! Thankyou Mr.Jin for all the hardwork you make. Hope you always healthy and make another great story like kill me heal me. Hwaiting! Livia Apr 01 2015 1:32 pm It was one of the best drama I've ever seen. Thank you for your exceptional work and I really really hope you will write again, soon. :-) jessie Mar 31 2015 8:47 pm OMG!!!!

Your writing was exceptional and the story was so unique. The intertwining of characters and back story made this drama better than any show I've seen in Korean Dramas and I've seen over 200. Every word and every moment in the drama had some significance to the advancement of the story - something rare in most dramas. I'm from the U. S. and can't wait for your next work since I am a fan of Moon Embracing the Sun as well. I second all the comments made by "SAW" below and again want to say thank you. Have not missed an episode and watched several twice and definitely plan to watch again -- am anxiously waiting for the conclusion -- my tissue box is running out and I have never laughed so hard in my life - my rib cage hurt. Great choice of actors that complement your writing style. Since you have already written a conclusion __ I must confess I was 100% a Shin Se Gi fan girl (and I'm 65).
