When she worries that CEO Byun will punish him for this, he says she doesn’t scare him-not like Cindy.Ĭindy’s surprised, but he explains that being raged at by people he dislikes is no big deal… but when people he likes get upset, that’s a scary thing. But Oppa says she was the prettiest she’s ever been. Later as Manager Oppa drives her to the shoot, she’s back to her usual gruff self, though her words have no bite when she chides Oppa for not warning her about the surprise, since she probably came off really strangely. The 1N2D team pulls up in the wee hours of the night to surprise Cindy, and through the blurry faces she realizes that they haven’t abandoned her and bursts into tears. He’s been so thoughtful recently, doing things she wouldn’t even think to expect from Joon-mo. Walking home at night, Ye-jin is pleasantly surprised when the lampposts light up, interviewing that she thought Seung-chan might be responsible. He wishes he could call cut, edit that all out, and start over-is that impossible? Because I want to like you more earnestly.” He was too awkward and in a rush and young, he says, and if he’d just found a more grown-up, dashing way to be close to her… maybe…Īugh, his earnest pain is just so raw. Ye-jin asks if it’s because he’d be better off if he didn’t like her, but he replies instead, “No. He’s not sure which parts but lists a few key moments that he would redo-or refrain from doing, so that it wouldn’t result in rejection. He musters up the nerve to tell her how he walked home last night (which took him hours) thinking everything over, and thought that if his life were a show, he wished he could reshoot scenes of it. Seung-chan asks to see Ye-jin on the roof, and this time there’s a huge distance between them as they stand apart. Pointedly, Ye-jin sighs that she doesn’t know what the writer’s idea of responsibility is, and the writers hang their heads in shame. In fact, Joon-mo went to the mat to keep her on staff, calling her part of his family.

Ye-jin agrees that nothing has gone well for Joon-mo’s shows, but asks, “Do you think there were never orders from above to swap out the writer?” On, snap. They shut up nervously when Ye-jin emerges and addresses the head writer, who’s worked with Joon-mo for the past five years.


Ye-jin hears from inside a stall as they gripe that Joon-mo has no sense of responsibility. In the bathroom, 1N2D’s three writers complain resentfully about Joon-mo’s decision, taking on added risk when they’re already in danger. CP Kim shakes his head in an interview, saying that you don’t realize what love is (as in, ratings) until you lose it. Joon-mo makes his decision to keep Cindy on his show, and the senior executives clearly disagree but don’t refuse, since the show is about to be cancelled anyway.

Who turn out to be, for the most part, just like the people who work outside of it, too. It’s what makes this show-about-showbiz not really about showbiz at all-for better and for worse-but about the people who work in it.

And as the show has managed to do all series long, it’s really the relationships we care about, using the programs and careers mostly as examples and metaphors to illustrate lessons for life. Well, it’s been a fun run, but it’s time to say goodbye to The Producers, which ends on a lesson about what it’s like to secure longevity, whether that’s with a program, a career, or relationships. 314 JJanuThe Producers: Episode 12 (Final) by javabeans
