The veil finally lifts on KBS’s hyped experimental-format variety-drama The Producers, and I’m happy to report that it’s great. I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to its hype (since there was ever so much of it), but the show delivers, and I’m pleased. One of the show’s big selling points was the incorporation of real people and names into the fictional narrative, making for a hybrid “real variety” format (which turns out to just mean mockumentary, because the characters are also being filmed by a docu team within the show)—but really, at the core you have a funny writer and great characters, acted well by a winning cast.
