The KBS 2TV drama "Producers" is currently riding up the hill with more than 10% in viewing percentage in the first two episodes but there's too much noise about it.

The cast is made up of the leading actors and actresses like Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Soo-hyun and Kong Hyo-jin and not to mention a talented writer named Park Ji-eun. However, critics claim that something is just not enough.

With ten or more so episodes to go, what are the problems that are being pointed out despite it's high viewing percentage?

Some say it's not a drama or a documentary nor an entertainment show. The screenplay is fresh and it's about the broadcasting world. There's character in the everyday jobs of a producer, a star and managers. The cast is fine. Cha Tae-hyun, Kong Hyo-jin and Kim Soo-hyun are far from being yelled at for their acting.

The only successful entertainment dramas so far are "Reply 1997" and "Reply 1994". There was nothing but good reviews on the results created by Lee Woo-jeong-I and Sin Won-ho, the writer and producer.

It's too soon to be asking for that of "Producers". The early stages of the drama were the ideas of Yoon Seong-ho who quit in the middle of the making. There's criticism that the drama doesn't allow focus.

Producers Pyo Min-soo stabilized the drama. Still, why did the entertainment department decide to make a drama? Many actors and actresses appeared in the first few episodes all staged as 'staff'. However, their acting was awkward and stiff.

"Producers" is in a difficult spot at the moment.
