The Producers Episode 1 Reactions
I like the KBS worldbuilding and the Baek family celebrating at the end of the episode. It seemed different from all the other shows I watched before.

I found myself extremely bored for a large portion of this episode. Most of it was just awkward moments sewn together to make an episode. I felt a bit like Soo Hyun's character by the end...disappointed and underwhelmed. I see potential, but I'm not sure how long it's going to take me to actually care about these characters.
