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.

There's a bad response? I loved it  :lol: it subtle but it's smart.

 

The textbook part

The KCC booger part.

Poor traumatized Manager Oppa (he reminds me of Chen look wise)

CEO Byun. 

"best urologist in korea" 

 

And GHJ and CTH are exes woooo

The doc narrative was used well, but felt very Office-y where it really disappeared at times. I like when pd Joonmo walked into the bathroom and there's a camera. But here ya, know I'm not sure how much they can use that. Because there's filming crews crawling these places normally anyways. 

 

KSH basically starting out as early season 3 Office Jim.

I'm excited  :ahmagah:  :ahmagah:  when are the subs coming out?

it's already out now ^^

 

honestly the episode picked up a lot towards the end so I will keep watching..it's only the 1st ep anyway so the intro will be out of the way by the 2d/3rd ep

Totally digging the 'mockumentry' style of the beginning.  I was getting some "Best in Show" type of feels and that's always a nice and subtle way to start off the fun.  It'll be interesting to see if they continue with it.  I don't think it could play out well for very long, but they did make it sound like they would be shooting it for a few work days so I could see it in the next episode as well.

 

Looking forward to seeing where all it goes.

 

 

Oh - and 2D1N with women....bwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  They sounded so much like the current male members.  :ilove:

 

 

 

Edited to add - I can see "The Office" vibes that others mentioned with the mockumentray, but I also got a feel of "Arrested Development" from CEO Byun.  Both are highly praised by critics here in the states, but not always by audiences.  I can see why the online reaction is lukewarm.  It's very British in style, not Korean.

Raw episode. (Viki is currently 65% subbed)

Episode 2: Viki - DramaBay - DramaFever  

 

Glad to see the the response getting warmer; I think once people get used to it and the drama picks up they will be fully on board with the new concept. 

 

I'm going to wait till ep2 is subbed before watching. I hate watching dramas in real time because then I have to wait for the next episode; I usually like watching it when the drama it's almost complete so that I can just watch it in one go. But I'm excited to see KSH back on screen so can't wait to watch it.

Just finished episode 1 and it's far from boring for me. Maybe because I'm interested with the production setting of the drama. The leads were great. Kim Soo Hyun sold the clueless intern well. lmao All the staff jokes got me laughing tbh. -waiting for ep 2 download-

Ep 2 was good, I really like IU's character and I sense a love line  :ninja: It's very realistic and that's obviously what the drama was going for

 

 

Just wondering, but you keep listing Viki. I thought i saw on there that they have to wait one month after an ep airs because as omeone else has exclusive rights

 

Not that I know of. They've already subbed and put up ep 1 &2. They've always put up the ep as soon as it comes out for the dramas I've watched on there.

Episode 2 felt more like a kdrama, so I can see why the reviews went from negative to mixed.  (though I really enjoyed the first episode, I don't think Korea is ready for that style).

 

Is anyone else happy that Joonmo & Yejin aren't ex's?  I think being lifetime friends would be harder to overcome than two people who's relationship ended badly finding forgiveness and trying again.  I look forward to seeing how they play out.

 

question - does no one else use drama fire to view dramas &/or variety?

I never saw that; but maybe they sorted it out or just in certain locations? They are subbing it within 24hrs so I don't think there's an issue.

 

But maybe on the Chinese side of things; KBS/Producer has been seriously cracking down on Chinese subbing platforms lately.

F-ve Dolls member cast in ‘The Producers’
May 17, 2015

restmb_jhidxmake.php?idx=5&simg=20150517

Seunghee of K-pop girl group F-ve Dolls has been cast in the KBS2 drama “The Producers,†according to her management Saturday.

Seughee will play a girl group member who belongs to the same group as Cinday (played by IU) but does not get on well with her.

The idol has proved her acting talent in TV dramas such as “The Full Sun†and “The Night Watchman’s Journal†as well as various music videos.

“The Producers,†which began Friday, recorded healthy double-digit viewer shares for its first two episodes. The 12-episode series airs Fridays and Saturday at 9:15 p.m.

Having watched the first two EP's subbed (still doesn't show on Viki for me. Some comments seem to indicate its a month delay and only QCers can view it unofficially)

 

Anyway. I think the documentary interviews are copying KSH's very popular My Love From Anothet Star. Ive seen other foreign shows use it before them tho.

 

IU really is miscast. She just doesnt do bitchy/evil very well.

 

KSH is interesting in he's playing a clumsy goofy char for the first time in awhile.

 

The KBS setting MAKES this show tho. I am tired of seeing fictional TV networks in dramas with fake shows.

 

Here you get a real network... real shows... real actors and MCs and KBS even let's itself get mocked with the Mamma Mia canceled remark... MBC getting praise for IC, etc...

 

Not sure how I feel about GHJ and CTH and their lifelong friendship (turning into a real ship mebbe). It feels like you have three main leads so I'm not sure how storylines will deliver enuf time for each.

Just watched first 2 eps.

I thought that KSH being a little clumsy goofball was adorable and contrasts a lot with his more serious and mature roles. He has a lot of diversity to him, I like that! I was able to relate to him too with all his bad luck with getting off on the right foot xD

 

CTH and GHJ are a pair I'm already shipping lol.

 

IU's acting isn't bad, but she's not coming off as very cold to me - just very bored. I felt if she upped her sass factor a bit more with more intonation, it could create a better impact - but she's not terrible like some people are saying.

I don't think IU's playing evil/bitchy. But more dejected and jaded/depressed? CEO Byun is evil and bitchy, IU's just going through the motions. I'm not dreading going to Cindy at all. 

 

KSH's adorakable I'm glad. He had nothing to do in the first episode (I think he has 20 lines in total lol), but he picked up in the second ep. The mimicking scene was hilarious. I take back Jim, he's like George Michael :lol:

 

Senior cast is ace. Ahh, GHJ and CTH not exes but childhood friends. 

 

Office supplies queen was so weird  :derp:

But Cindy isn't supposed to be bitchy/evil, though--just cold and apathetic. And from what I understand of her character, she's also tired and fed up with the industry after 10 years of being in it, and she probably even feels lonely. There was even that one scene in the second episode where she implicitly told the kid trainees that the idol life wasn't worth it and that they should just go home because she doesn't want to see them having to go through the same thing she did.
