An official from the drama explained, “‘Producer’ is shorter than most dramas and will finish after 12 episodes. Any leaking of the script will ruin the fun.”
According to the production staff, the drama will keep its story concise in order to leave a lasting impression for fans.
Top acting talents Kim Soo Hyun and Gong Hyo Jin reportedly accepted lower salaries for the KBS2 drama, and when combined with the statement from officials, fans won’t be able to help but be excited for its broadcast.
