Overall The Producers was a fun drama to watch but halfway, even though it was only 12 episodes, it got a bit boring and draggy. The love story was bland and predictable, there was a twist but at some point it got really obvious what was going to happen. The couples didn't have much chemistry and there was hardly any romantic buildup, there was but it all went down the drains. I didn't really ship anyone in this show and I wish the love story wasn't so dominant. I loved it how this show started by introducing the world of producers. It was a great idea that Seung Chan was a rookie and that he learned about all the rules and customs through hilarious mistakes and misunderstandings. I liked the reality tv- vibe and the interview type of narrator, it was really fun and made me feel like I really got into the heads of the characters. But in later episodes this style slowly fades away and the episodes are filmed more or less the usual way. The drama loses some of it's edge. Overall it's great to see how almost everything in this show was meant to criticize the Korean corporate world, how ridiculous unspoken rules and hierarchy can get. I believe South Korea needs more dramas like this with more poignant criticism. I must say that Baek Seung Chan is one of the best drama characters ever. I loved how his naivety clashed with the hardened shamelessness of the "adult" world. Often his honesty was taken the wrong way and even his good intentions were misunderstood. His character was brilliant. The other main characters were great too, it took a while for Cindy to grow on me and I think that IU's acting needs more practice, compared to the other cast she lacked. The side characters were hilarious and I wish they had more screen time instead of the love triangle that made me yawn. All in all this drama is a fun watch, refreshing and hilarious but also serious once in a while. It's loaded with criticism and puns.
