Singer and actress IU is gaining attention after brand new still cuts from the upcoming variety drama “Producer†were recently revealed.

 

On May 13, the production team of KBS’ highly-anticipated, star-studded new drama “Producer†unveiled still cuts featuring IU.

 

In order to portray her character in the drama, Cindy, IU transforms into a sexy singer image, which can be seen in the photos. IU is dressed in a revealing black, see-through outfit, as she performs on stage for “Music Bank†during filming. IU’s role, Cindy, is a top singer with 10 years of training under her belt.

 

Producers of the drama shared, “IU’s transformation into sexy singer Cindy will be revealed on the first broadcast of ‘Producer.’ IU thought a lot about everything from her gaze to the choreography to emphasize her character on the ‘Music Bank’ stage. She was able to complete the stage for her new song by practicing the sexy choreography whenever she had time.â€

 

Viewers will finally be able to see IU’s drastic transformation through the May 15 premiere of “Producer.â€

I wonder what the ratings will be - they have a lot of pressure to be a hit because of KSH and the star studded cast. But ratings have been really low everywhere - I think 15% will be good, they will be OK as long as they are above 10% anything below that would considered low for them.

Gong Hyo Jin and IU Collide While Kim Soo Hyun Is Awkwardness Perfected in New “Producer†Preview

 

Producer1.jpg

 

KBS2‘s upcoming Friday-Saturday variety drama “Producer†has revealed a new preview video to entice viewers. In particular, Kim Soo Hyun‘s clumsy and awkward character is garnering interest and laughs. Meanwhile, we see Gong Hyo Jin and IU‘s strong personalities meeting each others.

 

The preview video introduces the main cast in a humorous manner. First, we have Cha Tae Hyun working as the PD for “1 Night 2 Days.†From the get-go we see many cameos and funny situations. Hilariously, he talks about how PD Na Young Suk‘s “Three Meals a Day†will not do well because he thinks no one will be interested.

 

Next, Gong Hyo Jin appears as a prickly PD. Numerous situations leave her less than pleased with Kim Soo Hyun. From cluelessness to car troubles, it appears as though the pair will experience many entertaining ordeals.

 

Then, we meet Kim Soo Hyun’s character who starts working at KBS due to his crush on his senior (Jo Yoon Hee). Despite his efforts to join the same show as her, he ends up working for “1 Night 2 Days.†We see him struggle as he notes his recent experiences and troubles. Unfortunately, doing as he is told only earns him more yelling.

 

Last, we see IU as a sexy singer. Her interactions with her manager reveal her diva-esque attitude. Interestingly enough, she seems to gain interest in Kim Soo Hyun after he offers her an umbrella.

 

Due to the show’s focus on incorporating the real variety world in the drama using the KBS variety department as a backdrop, real names and shows are featured frequently. For example, the preview video mentions PD Na Young Suk who formerly worked on “1 Night 2 Days†and is now working on “Three Meals a Day†which will be competing with “Producer†for ratings.

 

Audiences will not have to worry though as producers have revealed that most individuals granted permission to use their real names in “Producer.†Numerous cameos will contribute to the fun and reality aspects of the show as well.

 

The real variety drama will air its first episode on May 15 at 9:15 p.m. KST.

Well the PD did say

 

 

But the level of cast clearly made everyone excited and over anticipate what it was going to be - especially for KSH as the pressure is on him the most after Stars and to also continue his winning streak. I guess everyone was expecting it to start with a bang. I haven't watched it yet but hopefully it progresses.

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 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

 

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.

Gong Hyo Jin and IU Discuss Awkward First Meeting on “Entertainment Weeklyâ€

ilmare42 May 17, 2015

 

gong-hyo-jin-IU-800x450.png

 

Back in April, KBS released a video of Gong Hyo Jin and IU of “Producer†supposedly meeting for the first time. The clip is filled with some cringe-worthy awkwardness, as they compare ages and descend into a painful silence.

 

On May 16′s episode of “Entertainment Weekly,†the stars admit that it was all staged for laughs.

 

Gong Hyo Jin says that it wouldn’t have been any fun if they had seemed too comfortable around each other. In reality, the two had chatted together before they’d filmed the video.

 

The interviewer confirms with IU, who says, “Yes, we were actually really comfortable around each other.â€

“Producer†is currently airing on KBS.

‘The Producers’ releases candid BTS photos from first two episodes

May 19, 2015

 

62179-326170-700x816.jpg

 

The production team for KBS 2TV variety drama ‘The Producers,’ has today released candid BTS photos from first two episodes.

 

In one of the photos, Cha Tae Hyun and Kong Hyo Jin are seen having a fun conversation in between breaks during filming. The two are actually working together for the first time, but they got along really quickly thanks to their friendly personalities and outstanding social skills, and led to the mood at the film set to be really good.

 

Kim Soo Hyun is seen looking forward to filming by cupping his hands, and looking afar somewhere with warmth and satisfaction. IU meanwhile shyly peeked out from under the umbrella, which made for an adorable sight, and was miles away from the cool image of her character Cindy in the drama.

 

Elsewhere, Cha Tae Hyun showed his great ability as a mood maker on the set, as he often shows his radiant smile, and allowed everyone on the set to get on with work comfortably.

 

‘The Producers’ tells the unknown stories that takes place behind the scenes at the variety department of KBS TV, where the staff often has to work overtime and long hours, and soldier on with their endurance and play ‘politics.’

I an kinda sad that they changed directors, but the subtle British style humor is so not Korean so it does make sense. Here's to hoping the quality remains high even with the change.

 

Seems like KBS and the producers knew this too. Just look at the reaction from the first couple of episodes. It's such a shame because having this would have diversified kdrama scene and hopefully opened more doors for other genres. Hopefully they don't stray too far from the original concept, but seeing how the feedback has been I fear that they will further turn it into a traditional format even more.

 

Seems like netizens are too accepting of other genres and just like sticking to sageuk, makjang and standard romcoms. There are few other genres out there.
