“Squid Game” increased the value of Netflix by an estimated $900 million. It also made South Korean writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk famous — but not rich. In his contract, he had forfeited all intellectual property rights and received no residuals. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

WHY HAVE A TV WRITER ON SET? Since they already wrote the script (and rewrote it 8 times, and tweaked it after the table read)? Glad you asked, here's a thread.

Simone Ashley is no stranger to rom-coms. So, what happened when we asked the 'Bridgerton' star to play a textbook rom-com heroine for a day? The answer involves nods to everything from 'Notting Hill' to 'Love Actually'. Watch the full film: youtu.be/iqIXvA602rc
