The first two episodes of the Korean drama "The Producers" recorded double-digit ratings, 10.1 and 10.3, but online comments suggest that the show has failed to meet the viewers' high expectations. Its experimental style has not been appreciated by everyone. The upcoming third episode is likely to shed that style, as director Pyo Min Soo is completely taking over the reins of direction.

Independent film director Yoo Sang Ho had signed on to helm the much-hyped show, but the responsibility was later given to Min Soo, according to Soompi. The first two episodes of "The Producers" reportedly contained scenes that were filmed by Sang Ho as well as Min Soo. On the other hand, episode 3 has all the scenes directed by Min Soo. 

"Starting from episode three, you will see Director Pyo Min Soo's work and his style in the drama. What Director Yoo Sang Ho filmed came out in parts up until episode two," a representative of the show said, as quoted by Soompi.

It is expected that this switch in director will make the show focus on the stories of the four characters--Tak Ye-jin (Gong Hyo-Jin), Ra Joon-mo (Cha Tae-hyun), PD Baek Seung-chan (Kim Soo-hyun), and Cindy (IU)--and not on the experimental style. 

Meanwhile, Korean idols 2NE1's Sandara Park, WINNER's Kang Seung-yoon, and EXID's Hani are set to make appearances in the upcoming episodes of the KBS2 drama, K Pop Herald reported. They will be seen competing to star in the fictional "2 Days 1 Night," which is based on the real reality-variety show of the same name. 

The first two episodes of "The Producers" showed that senior PD Tae-hyun has been asked to revamp his "2 Days 1 Night" and rope in new cast members for it. According to the report, Sandara and Seung-yoon will get to star as regular members of the show, but Hani will fail to make it to the final round.
