Special appearances

Production

Development and filming

The Producers was dubbed as "the most anticipated show" of 2015 because it served reunion between the actor Kim Soo-hyun and the screenwriter Park Ji-eun after the pan-Asia successful television series My Love from the Star (2013–14).[19][20] The series was produced by KBS's entertainment department instead of the drama department and was helmed by director Seo Soo-min, whose past experience has been on variety shows.[19][21] It was also the first terrestrial network drama to air in the Friday–Saturday time slot.[19]

First script reading was held on 23 March 2015 in Gangnam District, Seoul, with no media presence.[22] The first day shooting was held on April 1, 2015 on the 6th floor of the KBS building in Yeouido.[23] Official posters for the drama were unveiled on 29 April 2015.[24]

Reception

Commercial performance

Yonhap News Agency reported The Producers would earn ₩8.4 billion according to the broadcaster and industry sources.[36] It reportedly earned ₩2 billion alone from product placement and other sponsored advertisements which was above the average amount for a 16-episode series of about ₩1–1.5 billion at that time.[36] Also, it was sold to 12 Asian countries at high prices.[36] However, KBS officials said that it would log lower-than-expected profits due to rise in initial production cost stating various reasons including the change of producer in the middle of the series.[36]

Critical response

The Producers drew a solid average viewership rating of 12.5% and topped the Content Power Index (CPI) rankings.[37]

The Producers received mixed critical response. Kwon Ji-youn writing for The Korea Times called the premier of drama "great boast and small roast" reasoning that despite having "an all-star cast, impressive cameos and an original setting and plot" the drama was "nothing out of the ordinary." She praised Kim Soo-hyun's acting calling the transformation from his former character on My Love from the Star "striking" and he and Gong Hyo-jin were only able to pull off humour scenes.[38] It also received criticism from entertainment industry insiders regarding its verisimilitude, particularly in the drama's depiction of producers as the weaker party in dealing with celebrities, which they claimed is "highly unrealistic" unless top stars are involved.[39]
