But please, don't give split daesang again for its lead actor...

Yes for experimenting. Just stick with it so I don't have to be disappointed a second time!

Don't get all concerned about fanservice two weeks after airing. Lol. KBS seems to be rather scared of fans.

Tbh.. I like the first 2 eps more.. It's more refreshing

i'll honestly never understand why the original format was so criticized, because i personally l-o-v-e-d it, and found it refreshing. they also had the best cast possible to pull off that sort of thing, and i thought it was pretty well executed. wouldn't have realized people had hated it if it weren't for this site.

I totally adored Producers; I thought it was fantastic! +100 for Kim Soo-hyun's charms and he really did steal the show from the veterans and his cast-mates in general. But I do believe if this were to materialize, they need to pick someone less popular. In fact, I'd go with someone good but not mainstream. Because popular actors bring in a lot more chat and scrutiny and any negativity in turn, brings chaos for the producers.

Also, as much as I l.o.v.e.d. Baek Seung-chan, I'd never want KSH to do a repeat of any character. He's always looking for new challenges, so surely its a no-go where he's concerned. CTH deserves better and GHJ has projects coming up. More importantly, Park Ji-eun isn't doing it. But I hope it works out; the format was ah-mazing and I want to see lots of it in k-ent!

I love this series from beginning 'till the end I was laughing. It's very fresh and light :) Not the usual plot for drama series wherein it started light then ended dark. Looking forward for part 2.

I think as long as no Kim Soo Hyun in it. It will be OK. Because there will be no request to entertain China advertiser or anything. The plot mess up because the production follow the request of KSH fans/advertiser/sponsor and what else there.

I'm not hating that boy but BSC character can be done by any other actors and they will do well.

not lauding Gong Hyo-jin was unacceptable. while fans felt let down by the P just like they did by Yongpal... yet both SBS and KBS still crowned P just like they lauded Yongpal.... while they snub I Remember You... was most unacceptable. giving Bo Gum a Supporting was nice... but not enough.... just like Punch was not remembered enough... so after all, when much attentions was once given, mega big stars robbed in, fans cheers loudest over Kim Soo Hyun and Joo Won.. ratings went highest.... so Actings take a backseat.
i will always remember how "I Remember you" was Not Remembered, last weekend. so, producer 2? doubt whether Gong HJ will be back on the wagon... Sad.

Fully pre-produced or bust. That way they can't change their minds after 2 episodes.

Tbh, I think it might've worked if IU wasn't in it. Because she's an idol-actress, there's a preconception that she must have a conventional rom-com love line with KSH. All the other scenes are just "in the way." This is the most common feedback I've seen across the board at least. The rest of the cast were well-known but have successfully acted in quirky roles before. Then again, if she wasn't in it, then there might not be as big of a draw in viewership. I would've been fine a full cast of unknown actors with if the mockumentary method was used well in telling the story.

Sounds fun! But shorter episodes, please

I will watch if there were more meta joke and more Cha Tae Hyun. I want better cameos too!!

tvn is really a content trend leader. Who knew that Answer me would spawn such ardent efforts by a Big 3? haha

I liked the whole mockumentary concept in the first few eps, but the editing of scenes and/or the delivery of the lines from even my favorites of the actors were sometimes distractingly no bueno. Some of the jokes and scenes could have been set up or delivered a lot better. I don't blame KBS for switching it up so fast at all.

I love Kim Soo Hyun and all and think he's a fantastic actor but it was really IU who stole the Producers (quite unexpectedly). I just dislike the fact that it's him who gets all the recognition all the time when it was Cindy I was watching for and IU's great performance. Yes KSH did really well playing that character but tbh Seung Chan just started annoying me after a while regardless of my bias towards the actor. I just feel like IU deserves more recognition.

I could barely finish the 1st producers. Enough said. Btw, KSH is so not deserving for all 3 Daesang for his role. I guess media and KBS wants to keep Chinese investors happy along woth his fandom. ??

yes! oh, yes! please!
A dry humour kdrama, I so hope you will come to life! Repeatedly!

I doubt it's because of Chinese investors. They are not the ones placing ads during the show's broadcasting. KSH won best TV actor at the Baeksang Awards (which is more credible than all the other award shows) way before the Chinese knew who he was.

The real reason is more or less his star power. His attendance draws media attention and viewership.

I hope they produce "The Singer" instead the Producer.. I need Cindy's Story Life after she's out from Byun Devil ?

Liked both approaches, but the biggest problem w/ the whole mockumentary thing was that the whole filming of the those who worked in the variety dept. revolved more around personal relationships/feelings than you know, the actual work - which was highly unprofessional.

Seemed more like the "The Discovery of Love" in that regard - where they were filming the leads talking about their past and present relationships/feelings, being a documentary about love.

when will be the airing of the season 2 is there any updates?

i have a great idea for producer season 2. if getting the original cast is difficult then just tell a new story, a different rookie PD in a different program.
i recommend ryu jun yeol(junghwan) as the lead. you know they already casted him as rookie PD in episode 1.
so they can tell his story in different program, like music bank so park bogum can make a cameo as MC or girls day as guest star. that can become a great meta joke

can they just make producers season 2 & pick up from where they left off? (cindy & seung chan's love story) uggghh, can they just move from kbs to tvn hahaha like baek seung chan decided to move on a cable station (so timely nowadays!)
