Park Jae-beom
Park Jae-beom (Korean: 박재범) is a South Korean screenwriter. He began his writing career in 2000 with the film Theater, followed by writing for two KBS one-act dramas in 2002 and 2003. In 2010, he made his official television debut with OCN's crime series Quiz of God. In 2013, he wrote the script for KBS2's medical drama Good Doctor, which later received an US adaptation as The Good Doctor. Park is widely recognized for his self-proclaimed "Justice Trilogy", which includes the acclaimed dramas Good Manager (2017), The Fiery Priest (2019), and Vincenzo (2021).
Park's lifelong dream had been to direct a movie since middle school. He enrolled in Dongguk University's Department of English Literature in the Class of 1990 and minored in Theater and Film. During his college years, his passion grew even stronger as he studied directing, playwriting, and screenplay, focusing primarily on theater. He became immersed in theater and even appeared in independent films, trying his hand at acting. He fell in love with acting.
"When I was in college, The Moon of Seoul was aired. Seniors like Han Seok-gyu and Choi Min-sik would come to school and teach us acting skills."
His professor advised him to cultivate mental clarity while making important decisions instead of overthinking. Furthermore, the professor encouraged him to explore careers in directing or writing.
After graduating, he began preparing for his film debut while also working on scriptwriting. He also worked as a cartoon story writer since 1996. In 1998, in the midst of his endeavors, he impulsively submitted his script to a KBS script contest. The contest was seeking five scripts, and Park's entry ranked sixth among the submissions. However, despite not winning, he unexpectedly received a separate offer for a six-month internship.
Park had the opportunity to direct his first screenplay, marking his directorial debut in the feature film titled Theatre. In 2000, he received an invitation to showcase his independently directed film at the 4th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. The film portrays a group of moviegoers who become trapped in a gloomy theater after watching 1996 horror film Scream. As they grasp the horrifying truth, they discover that the theater owner intends to kill all of them within 70 minutes. With no escape and casualties increasing, the remaining survivors fight desperately for their lives.
During the years 2002 to 2003, he wrote the one-act dramas 'Panty Model' and 'S University Law School Failure Case' for KBS Drama City. Then, he took a long hiatus as a drama scriptwriter to pursue a career as a director. However, between the ages of 30 and 38, his directing career was marked by four failed film projects, leading him to a period of contemplation. In hindsight, he expressed his concerns, saying, "I was worried because I got married and had a child."
Initially, returning to drama writing was not a priority for Park. However, a series of failures and his responsibilities as the family provider changed the situation. Park's path took an unexpected turn when a new project launched by OCN presented him with an unforeseen opportunity. He took on the task of writing the first season of Quiz of God. Being a CJ-planned production, Quiz of God incorporated numerous cinematic elements, which gave Park confidence that he could execute it with his desired tone and style.
