Kim Soo Hyun "Producer", the reason for the expectation, "You who came from the stars" is a different thing

Actor Kim Soo Hyun is expected to draw in the viewers with his appearance in the new KBS drama "Producer" (working title) written by Park Ji Eun, directed by Seo Soo Min.

Kim Soo Hyun will take on the role of a new PD in the "Producer" which depicts the story of a PD in a broadcasting station. He will be working with such actors as Cha Tae Hyun and Gong Hyo Jin.

After more than a year since the SBS drama "You who came from the stars" ended, Kim Soo Hyun returns to the small screen, securing his position as a Hallyu star. The expectation for his next project is growing.

On March 16, an official from Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Keyeast, told Star News "Kim Soo Hyun chose the Producer because he trusted the writer and he was attracted to the freshness of the format."

According to his representative, "In the past, Kim Soo Hyun has undergone acting transformations when he played a fool in the movie, Secretly, Greatly and also for his role in You who came from the stars. There is no such thing as a burden for him. In the Producer, you will see another performance from Kim Soo Hyun", he asked for people to watch out for it.

On the other hand, as soon as the casting for the supporting actors has ended, the drama "Producer" will start shooting. The date of broadcast is still being discussed, whether it will be by the end of April or in May.

seems like quite a few variety regulars will be in the drama - it does make it a authentic i guess but i hope the don't include too many afterall this is meant to be a drama.

 

thanks for the update  :)

you're welcome.  :)

 

yeah me too. i don't mind the cameos here and there, but too many appearances from variety regulars might take away from the drama storyline like you said. it's also KJK's first drama i believe. 

 

anyways, i'm confused if the script reading is actually next week (according to stars88jo). soompi says it's next month. conflicting reports as usual.  :lol:

 

Actual filming is next month; but the script reading will be next week.

The Battle with Pressure of "Producer"
translated by Pechumori
150318

1484682_796882980404798_2494308236117416

While walking slowly through the process of organization, the most powerful "Dream Team" ever composed for the KBS2 TV drama "Producer" is already facing higher expectations even before its broadcast.

"Producer" is a drama that boasts of a brilliant cast and crew that includes Kim Soo Hyun who previously rose to the top star ranks through "You who came from the Stars" and such stars as Cha Tae Hyun, Gong Hyo Jin and IU. They are joined by the writer of "You who came from the stars" Park Ji Eun, who came from four consecutive hit dramas, and Seo Soo Min who directed the entertainment programs, "Gag Concert" and "Star".

These people will join together for a synergistic effect to ensure the viewers attention and expectations on the broadcast. Recently, there is a clear situation where the viewership ratings of dramas and entertainment programs have developed a downward trend. The word of mouth from the officials is that "Producer" must get "A minimum of 10 % or more" in viewership ratings.

Paradoxically, the KBS organization is just discussing the Friday and Saturday broadcast at 11 pm. in early May which may cause them a long time to intercept. A trace of various troubles can be easily seen.

KBS is aiming to revive the Fridays and Saturdays Midnight time zone with "Producer". The success of the drama is aimed at the absorption of the viewers that was been taken away by programs from the cable channels, especially such shows as the "Over Flowers" series, "Reply" series and the "Three Meals a Day" show. But the midnight viewership figures does not have a big part of the audience pie chart. There is also an opinion that it is difficult to expect a higher viewership.

For this reason, the 10 pm broadcast is also being considered. However, the KBS entertainment department that led the planning, showed confidence that 11 pm is the time zone of the existing entertainment programs. The drama production official said "The high expectations pouring in before the broadcast is of no harm. Rather, the "Producer" is bearing the weight of the names of the Dream Team and seems to recognize quality content as the priority" he said.

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

"Producer" starring Kim Soo Hyun, ongoing first script reading being held under tight security
translated by Pechumori

2015032313022433168_1.jpg?time=135225

 

KBS2 TV new entertainment drama "Producer" (working title, written by Park Ji Eun, directed by Seo Soo Min) starring Kim Soo Hyun, Cha Tae Hyun, Gong Hyo Jin and IU is having their first script reading under tight security.

The first script reading of the "Producer" is currently being carried out this afternoon of March 23 at the Wedding Hall in Gangnam, Seoul

Today's script reading was participated in by actors, Kim Soo Hyun, Cha Tae Hyun, Gong Hyo Jin, IU, Kim Jong Kook, Jo Han Cheol, Na Young Hee, Park Hyuk Kwon as well as the writer and the production crew.

Script readings were held under tight security. People other than the cast of the "Producer" and its production crew were blocked from having access to the ongoing script reading. There is an identity check at the entrance to the parking lot for those who were allowed to enter. The side of the wedding hall was also completely blocked from access to the reporters.  

The production crew is reluctant to release the dramatic content of "Producer" prior to its broadcast because they feel the big burden of the all star cast that are active both domestically and internationally.

The first script reading is intended to gather all the actors who will be part of the major cast in one place. The actors and the production crew will hear out the character and settings from the writer and how the story will unfold in the future.

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.

Production Updates

 

 

excerpt translated by Pechumori

 

The officials saw the script that day and was surprised to see the proportion of KIm Soo Hyun's role. Of course since he is the leading actor, it's not absolutely a small amout, but the proportion of the roles of Kim Soo Hyun, Cha Tae Hyun, Gong Hyo Jin and IU is 1:1:1:1. So it is evenly distributed."
