The Producers (2015)
Grade:
B
12 Episodes, about 90 minutes each
Baek Seung-chan starts his career as a
television producer (or PD) as a result of a college crush. It turns
out the girl he liked is dating his boss, but he soon develops
feelings for another PD, Tak Ye Jin. Seung-chan ends up on a variety
show production, working with famous singer Cindy. She starts to fall
for the young PD, but he is oblivious to her charms as he is too busy
trying to catch the attention and affections of PD Ye Jin. What
happens when his boss Ra Joon-mo notices Seung-chan's affections for
his lifetime friend Ye Jin?
*This
was a fairly slow, somewhat sweet show that starts off with a very
similar feel to the American show “The Office,” since they do
side interviews where the characters talk directly to the camera.
There are some funny moments, and it was unique to have a
relationship that was so old as the focus, but it was rather slow.

Hyo-jin was at it again with her bizarre wardrobe choices. Luckily it
wasn't as bad in this drama, but she did wear a denim hospital gown
at one point, complete with ties knotted up her back. So distracting!
I don't know if I'd watch it again, but it's fine for at least one
viewing.*
