While writing a script for Korean dramas, the character development part is the most important in it.

As the story progresses throughout the series we see a drastic change in the characters as well.

This always moves your heart and you are sure to be impressed by the way character development is shown in a drama. Because of this the story doesn’t look plain or fictional but in fact it becomes more lively.
