Netizens Not In Favour Of 'Producer's 11 Pm Timeslot

prod1.jpg

 

OSEN - Naver: Kim Soo Hyun and IU's 'Producer', made to overturn other popular variety shows 

 

1. [+3040, -90] It won't generate a lot of noise. This timeslot is a thoughtless choice. I don't understand why KBS is being unreasonable with choosing 11pm when 8, 9 or, 10 pm are clearly better. Writer Park Ji Eun, Kim Soo Hyun and Cha Tae Hyun are popular among younger people but 11pm.... 'Please Take Care of My Dad' moved its timeslot to a later time and the ratings decreased to 6.9%. No matter how impressive the content would be, the timeslot is important. Think realistically.

 

2. [+2540, -249] Change the title to Kim Soo Hyun and Gong Hyo Jin

 

3. [+2156, -51] Everything's fine except for the timeslot...

 

4. [+299, -11] Change the timeslot. Wed-Thurs dramas even air at 10pm and please stop referring it as a variety-like drama. It's quite irrational

 

5. [+281, -45] You've got big shot actors like Kim Soo Hyun, Cha Tae Hyun, Gong Hyo Jin but then IU ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹She should just stick to singing

 

6. [+230, -6] Not the best timeslot. It would be okay if it's at 10 pm just like tvN Fri-Sat dramas

 

7. [+122, -11] Not liking the timeslot

 

8. [+109, -40] IU is getting criticized because she's a singer but if she wants to be an actress she should start out as a supporting character first

 

 

well, IU has played supporting roles already in dream high and cameos too. there are 4 leads, I'm sure she can handle it. 

 

 

I also don't understand the time slot... should we be expecting more bold and steamier scenes? :hurr:

 

 

either way, 11 pm seems a bit too late.

 

but I think KBS is  not really worried about ratings since I'm sure the drama will be sold to everywhere. I guess, they are really just experimenting then,.

Idol + acting will always get hate - knetz are never satisfied.

 

Yh I'm hoping that the later time slot means more risk taking; if that includes some passionate scenes then I won't mind either. You know just for the the art  :hurr:

 

From previous articles; the later timeslot and friday/saturday airdate is what cable tv do so KBS is testing things as it worked for dramas like Reply and Misaeng.

ia, I saw that they were trying to compete with cable tv kkk 

 

 

but like you said, since they are trying new things, I wouldn't mind if KHS.... how to put it... 'bared it all', you know, just for the arts  :hurr:

Ahhh!!! This looks so cool!!! Gong Hyo Jin is so badass when she walks in!!! Dorky Kim Soo Hyun!!! I'm loving this!! I'm so excited. I cannot stop replaying the teaser.!!! :ahmagah: :ahmagah: :ahmagah:

\0/ me too!

I've never had such good feeling about a cast before.

 

Dorky ksh is the best!

I'm so happy he's breaking from his cool image. Great contrast from YWCFTS

 

Ghj is such a boss

And IU's looking fierce!

 

I'm so ready for this drama tbh

longer teaser for Producer!

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2prqvl_150511-kbs2-%ED%94%84%EB%A1%9C%EB%93%80%EC%82%AC-%ED%95%98%EC%9D%B4%EB%9D%BC%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8-laputa_tv

 

how can KSH be so dorky yet so hot?  :lub:

I love the characters combination. I think they all compliment each other

it's not as bad as ppl made it seem LOL 

it did feel like KBS was advertising themselves a bit, but overall, it's setting a storyline. 

 

I personally liked this first ep (granted the story only begun once the 4 leads were introduced) I'm getting misaeng vibes, and that's a good thing. 

 

10% ratings is a good start! I'm sure things will pick up once the lovelines are introduced, which is today. 

there was seriously no need for the over reaction. cuz it started like any other drama.

I loved this moment:

10421420_829484790477950_144724995618854

 

I think this is shaping out to be his best character to date. He changed all his gestures.. from the way he runs, his smile and laugh, his lip bite  :lub: and there are people who still don't rate him as an actor . go figures.

Remember Yoo Inna's character on YWCFTS? She was also part of the "main cast", yet she received the least development of the 4 main characters (entirely shafted from the main plot mid-way through). Seems like the writer has this syndrome where he/she can't develope the 4th character properly, this time being Cindy.

 

I really hope the writer changes that this time around, because getting barely 10mins on episode 1, 2, 3 and 5 is pretty damned ridiculous (nevermind whatever loveline there is, I just want character development).

this is true, but that happened in stars because viewers didn't want to see anything else but the romance between KSH - JJH, like they were very vocal about this so they all suffered, only that YIN suffered more since that character would take more time to develop. :( 

I hope this doesn't happen here though. 

 

I'm IU biased but Cindy and BSC are totally the most endearing characters. ofc I love CTH too and GHJ is always great but I just find those two (CxBSC) really refreshing. 

 

Netizens really need to cut the IU hate because there's no need for it (we get it! she's an idol and she's acting with one of your hottest actors. get over it! ) and I want to see how the story of those 4 goes. 

 

in my opinion there's no need for the love square that's going on. 

KSH x IU looks great together and 

GHJ x CTH is a match made in heaven.

From the looks of episode 6, Cindy and even PD Ra have been reduced to plot devices to advance the BSC X YJ ship.

 

We're halfway through the series and we still barely get any screentime/development for Cindy. I'm kinda giving up hope that she would become anything more than that side character with a one-sided crush at this point, even with the hint that Cindy and BSC would be having a kiss scene in the future episodes.

 

Yoo Se Mi from YWCFTS, you have found a shafted-character buddy in Cindy! (Ironically, both Yoo Inna and IU are best friends in RL too)

 

=/

 

it's such a shame because IUxKSH chemistry is so great! such a waste. 

 

but I felt chemistry btw GHJ and KSH on today's episode (I watched halfway) so that's good too. 

I don't think Cindy will act on her 'love' for BSC tbh. I think this will remain totally platonic. 

 

to me, IU's basically playing a version of her 'character' on every end of the day 

 

 

 

if any one calls on her acting I'm going to be soooooooo angry!!! 

people were expecting JJH type of character but that's not Cindy at all. 

 

anyway. waste of proper good chemistry, but the drama is reaching a really good level!! so I'm excited!!

^^^^IU is one of the very few people who can make me cry on kdrama-land lol and that's why I'm her fan today kkk  (during YTBLSS - even though that's not a very good drama - plus the song she sung then, forgotten seasons basically sealed me as a fan ^^) 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though Producer fell into the typical drama format, the story is getting so great! but more than romance, I want to see BSC succeed as a PD, Cindy to find peace and JM&YJ to settle their issues and either move on or get together  :rlytearpls:

I'm in too deep already!

i'm pretty suprised that the ratings are pretty low considering the star studded cast, i guess friday nights are a big factor as well. though this week it's steadily increasing, so i think it might reach the 20%+ ratings eventually. anyway it's a good drama, taehyun gonghyojin ftw!

 

It's not low lol

 

Previous rating for that time slot with the drama 'spy' was 4% kk

The producers is already a hit tbh.

I don't want no more love lines. pfft enough with the love triangles lol 

 

 

I think both SC and Cindy are gonna end up alone and YJ and RJM together. 

 

 

It's a shame ratings goes down on Fridays due to 3 meals a day otherwise the drama would've been on the 15% already. 

the Peak ratings is almost at 19% and it's always the random but funny scenes - like the office lady talking to BSC/ Cindy sorting out trash/ the phone conversation b/w Cindy and Yj.. kkkk 

tbh, those are my fave parts too^^it's what keeps the drama fun.

^^^ kk we probably gave you too much to expect lol

 

For me, ep 4, 6 and 7 were the best; there's a reason why cindy acts that way; and tyj has only started to become likable on ep 7 ; I still don't care much for Cth (but I like him); I love ksh's characterization tho..

 

 

Warning if you ever look at other places: The ship wars in this drama is intense lol

 

 

My only concern about this drama is that for a drama that sort of lectures on "production" it's actually pretty poorly produced! Some episodes feels too long and the pace could be faster but oh well. The drama quickly fell into any other format.. Due to negative feedback probably.

 

It's definitely the drama I'm enjoying the most tho.

I can't tell which episode this happened, 3, 4, or 5? when it just was it super clear it was a crush. I thought he would help joonmo and Yejin get together.. BSC and Joon Mo do okay considering joonmo dated the girl. BSC never mentions it to his boss so he doesn't know that they share that connection. but yeah, his sunbae from school... all those years destroyed in one month? and two months have passed since he started... where is she? 

 

so far in between. if the drama went more meta, like the girls detective one, it prolly would have worked. lol

 

so are we taking bets and namings odds for this one?

 

i could see that. wait, why did people not like IU/Cindy in the beginning? that is crazy... knetz are crazy... lol, not like us normal folks.. who talk about it here on onehallyu... we're totally sane... for the most part... 

because she's an Idol and not ''on par'' with the other cast members. So they judged her hard before the drama even started and ppl were expecting Cheon Song Yi .02 which is not what Cindy is at all. 

 

but they are over it now, finally ^^

I'll assume everything after 'that's not the worst part' is your elaboration on the worst. It fathoms me how people can be in korea, knetz crazy. I wouldn't say IU was stellar in YATBLSS, but she wasn't crap either. Improvement over DH, and also a legit leading role, but yeah using one drama to benchmark her sucks. Hollywood doesn't seem to have this problem. You get haters sure, but damn... blaming it on IU is just tough. From my k-fan-ness being from America, i would be like 'oh neat, IU is in a drama, I like IU, i'll check it out' where knetz/peeps be like 'iu in a drama, iu is an idol, don't check it out'. I agree with you, I watched Heirs, and wasn't blown away by it. it's also complicated cuz established actors will have bad drama series too but they're forgiven for it, not so much for idols in general. 

 

producers had the good co-actors, just bad scripting and from what i'm reading from you guys, she'll get heat for this after all said and done as well. No one is saying anything about BSC and Yejin, gosh has to be the worst roles I seen for their actors I've personally seen. 

 

4D like how Sunmi was when she was a Wonder Girl? Should i watch Pretty Man? TBH - I don't find JKS that charming... but if you say it's worth a watch, i'll check it out when I'm on the stairmaster.

 

I can't recall cuz it's been a while, but did people do the same thing to Suzy? I ask cuz I know Suzy and IU were both given that daughter/little sister of korea title. Suzy had Gu Family Book and Architecture 101, both I enjoyed.

 

Strange how people will love them, unless they go into acting. It was implied earlier here that the lack of umbrella couple is tied to the lack of support for Cindy mainly because it's played by IU. Which is kinda lame. Then again there is a combination of many things that have made this drama fall short of its potential. lol

I genuinely DON'T recommend Pretty Man to any one hahah

 

Aside from Producer, IU's had 1 supporting roles and 2 leading roles but Producer is definitely the only drama I'd consider as the 'one that counts' (LSS was 50 ep. and had way too many old ladies screaming )
