Korean TV drama script format in one page
Korean drama script format is simple, but the reference material is scattered across broadcaster contest guidelines, forum posts, and other people's script files. Writers copy what they see and end up with scene numbers out of order and action lines mixed into dialogue. This formatter does the tidying. Paste text written in a notes app or on a phone, and it numbers the scene headings and lays out action and dialogue in the standard shape. It uses no AI, so not a single word changes, and the text never leaves your browser.
There are only three input rules. A scene heading starts with # and separates time and place with a comma; "# Night, outside a convenience store" and "# Outside a convenience store, night" both work. The formatter recognizes time words (night, day, dawn, morning, evening, dusk, and their Korean equivalents) and normalizes the heading to "S#1. Place – Time". Dialogue is "Name: line". An off-screen voice is "Minsu(E): Go ahead." with (E) after the name; narration is (N); a voice through a phone or radio is (F). Those tags are preserved. Action goes in parentheses or as a plain sentence. A short direction inside dialogue, "(not turning around)", stays inside the line.
The output follows the layout used by Korean broadcaster contests and drama-writing programs: a heading "S#number. Place – Time", action as an unindented paragraph, and dialogue as the character name, a tab, and the line. Tabs are used so that the name column lines up when pasted into Hangul (HWP) or Word. Contests differ in font size and margins but not in structure, so paste, then adjust the document settings to the guidelines.
If you need standard US screenplay format instead (INT./EXT. sluglines, capitalized names, centered dialogue), use the format conversion in the Studio rather than this page, which is deliberately limited to the Korean drama layout. Film screenplays for Korean contests generally accept the same S# format, so they work here too.
Results can be copied to the clipboard or downloaded as a .txt file. In Hangul, after pasting, adjust the tab stop in the paragraph settings and the name column snaps into place. There is no login and no usage limit. To manage a script across episodes and continue scenes with AI, use a drama project in the Studio.
