Thrilled to see it justly won an award!!! Of course I started to research this screen writer’s other works to watch. Hey Jung Sung-Joo where are you?! Hey drama industry where are YOU?! Find this screenwriter & do the right thing. Such talent needs an audience…the industry is the bridge. OK, if offered I’ll serve as fan club president for Jung Sung- Joo. Lorella Masseria Apr 19 2020 5:22 am I'm so impressed! Thank for share Your amazing talent! Sophie Bolt Jan 22 2020 3:57 am I watched Secret Love Affair and was so impressed by the writing (as well as the performances!). The depth of knowledge of the world and business of classical music - it was fascinating, I learned so much; the brilliant, pared down dialogue; the subtle unfolding of the characters' back stories! I'm definitely going to track down other stuff! Matthew Del Nevo Dec 20 2019 8:44 am I watched I Heard it on the Grapevine in Australia with subtitles. The writing drive it. The writing was brilliant. So I looked you up so I can see what else you had done. I will watch Secret Affair. Prince Dec 09 2019 10:37 am Amazing writer! Secret Love Affair is amazing! A wife's credentials is awesome!! Aigooseen Feb 05 2017 1:10 am Amazing writer edith Sep 16 2016 7:03 am Hello Jung Sung-Joo, I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed this beautiful story. It was translated to English on the video - (and likely lost a bit in the translation) It was really such a "true" love story (even though the dvd cover was a bit erotic) I truly enjoyed it - really it is what love is all about (and not all about sex) I thank you so much for writing the screenplay. I've watched it so many times on Netflix and will again. - I cry every time. You have created a wonderful work. Thank you. edith Alan Mar 20 2016 12:36 pm My favourite kdrama writer by a mile. Absolutely genius. Heard it through the Grapevine, A Wife's Credentials, and Secret Love Affair are amazing works of art. The funkstar Jan 27 2016 11:48 am Just finished watching secret love affer and have not watched a dream thats made feel s deep in a long time. Feeling the emotions with the music was is going to be so unforgettable for me. I really don't knkw what word i can experience to let you all know how, this drema made me feel. I will follow you and the directors work from now one. gasenadi Jun 27 2015 1:04 pm What beautiful works of art are A Wife's Credentials, Secret Love Affair and Heard It Through the Grapevine! Dramas that make the viewer think, full of nuance and complex characters. In a world full of recognizable issues we can all relate to. It's astonishing to me that this section is not flooded with praises for your fine work, Jung Sung-Joo. Am looking forward to the next drama. In the meantime, please stay healthy and strong. Erria Jun 02 2015 6:10 am I look the script of heard it through rumour.. Clever,heardwarming& never been dull.. I haven't watched Secret Love Affair but i heard it was a really good show so imma check it out later.. Do stay healthy & keep doing what ur doing now.. U are a real talented screenwriter MawMaw Apr 29 2015 8:30 pm I fell in love with the scripts of Jung Sung Joo after seeing Secret Love Affair. There was a lot of focus on the storyline about an affair between a married rich older woman and a poor teenage piano prodigy! The realization that the story was more about the similarities in their struggles and abject loneliness became obvious as the writer developed each character in so much detail that I cheered them on so fiercely as their relationship developed while crying my eyes out during both the sad and the joyful episodes. A Jung Sung Joo drama does not need blood spilling violence or explicit sex to keep a viewer's attention. The drama Heard it Through the Grapevine is worth praising! The focus on the rich verses poor households and the people within the mansion reminds me of the classic BBC series Upstairs Downstairs where the focus is on the people and their characters rather than some situation they have to solve. I predict that this will be a classic as well. booboop Mar 11 2015 12:44 am JSJ, you're one great writer. I love your new drama, Heard it as a Rumor. It's daebak! Show the 3 previous comments...
