This is my third time doing the drama exchange and my partner @wonder-fx recommended The Producers for me to watch. I was initially quite hesitant when I received this recommendation (although, I will admit, I'm always quite hesitant and I didn't hate the first two dramas I got in drama exchanges). I'd watched the first five minutes when the drama came out and was really unimpressed by it - acting, camerawork, everything. Reviews were generally negative and I (unpopular opinion?) am not a huge fan of Kim Soo Hyun or IU. They're fine (although not amazing) as actors, but big fan bases make me want to run away. The thing that worries me the most about industry/workplace-based dramas is frustrating storylines and upper level corruption - but I haven’t heard of either in The Producers, so I’m keeping a positive view going in. I've liked Gong Hyo Jin in all of her dramas, even when I've disliked other aspects, and as a recent fan of 1N2D, I'm interested to see Cha Tae Hyun in an acting role. The one thing I'm most hesitant about, I guess, is the love lines and how much of a role the younger actors have. As I said, they're decent actors, but they tend not to have the gravitas that serves well in a lead role. Interested to see how everything will pan out!
