Writers Kim Su-hyun VS Noh Hee-kyeong, drama match day

Writer Kim Su-hyun, who is also known as a drama alchemist, is back with the new SBS weekend drama "Yeah, That's How It Is" on the 13th of February. It's very likely she's coming back with a family story which is also her strong point. In May, writer Noh Hee-kyeong is coming back with the tvN drama "Dear My Friends". Noh Hee-kyeong is also known as the 'next Kim Su-hyun'.

The two have had a showdown before; Kim Su-hyun with the 1999 SBS drama "Youth Trap" and Noh Hee-kyeong with the MBC drama "Did We Really Love".

"Youth Trap" is a 1978 original that was re-written by Kim Su-hyun starring Sim Eun-ha, Jeon Gwang-ryeol, Lee Jong-won and Yoo Ho-jeong in the footsteps of the original stars Lee Hyo-chun, Lee Jung-gil, Park Geun-hyung and Kim Young-ae. The drama gained popularity with the writer's unique lines and recorded a viewing percentage of more than 50% during the time.

Sim Eun-ha yelled at Lee Jong-won, the man who abandoned her for his gain, "I will break you!" in the drama that revolved around ascent of status. This line is remembered until today as a classic and even became a trend at one point. Sim Eun-ha was awarded the SBS Drama Awards Grand Prize for her performance in the drama.

"Did We Really Love" featured Kim Hye-soo and Bae Yong-joon, which made many people look back on the value of life.

The popularity of the drama spread online and resulted in many fans who showed their undying support for Noh Hee-kyeong and her work. Noh Hee-kyeong proved her value in another drama called "Lies".

The two writers have been going strong ever since and this year they are both coming back.
