Early life
Baek has won many writing awards since she was in elementary school, but she never wanted to be a writer. When she was young, she thought being a writer meant facing financial difficulties. In high school, she got in trouble and was given a year-long assignment to write a reflection letter. That's when she started writing about her life. One day, her teacher asked her about her dream, and the teacher suggested she should try becoming a writer.[3]
Career
Baek Mi-kyung's was as a popular English instructor in Daegu. She won a screenplay contest in 2000, but her work was plagiarized. Feeling heartbroken, Baek decided to give up on her dream. She came down to Daegu and started a private academy, and it worked out well.[3][4]
She wrote the drama The Story of Kang-goo, which depicts the story of a man and woman set in Ganggu Port, Yeongdeok, and won the grand prize at the SBS Screenplay Contest in 2013.[3]
She later incorporated her own experiences and had Oh Yoon-ah, her character in The Lady in Dignity, appear as the character of the director of an academy.
In 2021, Baek Mi-kyung collaborated with Director Lee Na-jeong on a drama centered around the theme of motherhood. Initially titled "Blue Diamond," Lee suggested changing the title to Mine, which Baek Mi-kyung gladly accepted. It explores the lives of wealthy family members and their servants, delving into the complexities of their relationships. Each women character defy societal prejudices to find their "truly mine."[5][6] Mine made history as the first Korean drama to feature a lesbian character in a leading role, further expanding representation in the industry.[7][8][9]
