Pann: Annual royalties the writer of Moon Embracing the Sun got
1. [+363, -2] I really envy her... She could be like, "I have a shitty job but I can manage it since I have $800K sitting in my bank account", "The stupid boss is at it again when he doesn't even have $800K, I'll forgive him since I have the $800K".
2. [+357, -0] Wow, even her life is like a novel story... An average worker who is secretly a bestseller that no one knows! My dream life.
3. [+291, -1] It's somehow awesome that she still works.
4. [+152, -2] Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Moon Embracing the Sun were huge hits. She only got $800K?
5. [+136, -1] $800K is too little. I guess it's because the Korean market is smaller than the American market? Both were big hits as novels and dramas, shouldn't she earn millions? I don't know the writer but hwaiting.
6. [+83, -1] If you read the novels, you would find that she has amazing knowledge on the Choson dynasty... I think her job must be history-related, especially on the Chosen era... Maybe she's a Korean history prof?
7. [+67, -1] Wow, it's amazing. Released novels quietly, they hit daebak but still works at the job quietly ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That means she doesn't show off her success. How modest and cool.
8. [+56, -0] She could be a full-time literature writer who uses the pen name for the history genre... Her writing is amazing.
