1. [+437, -29] Let's remember that it is a drama after all and some things have to be exaggerated for the sake of it

2. [+343, -35] This isn't a documentary, it's a drama

3. [+259, -10] Even part-time workers get into fights over their pay being a couple cents less, there's no way that fights don't break out in jobs like this

4. [+268, -20] I doubt the drama would be as fun if it only depicted reality

5. [+200, -14] Nowadays, huge agencies have so much power that PDs aren't as powerful as they used to be

6. [+46, -6] I read a lot of PDs tweeted about agreeing with the drama so I don't think the drama is completely out of line with what really goes on

7. [+33, -5] I'd rather like a little reality than too much makjang

8. [+39, -8] I remember a PD posted on SNS that 'Producers' was an accurate depiction of the lives of PDs ㅎㅎ

9. [+25, -1] I'm sure some parts are exaggerated for th esake of the drama but even real life PDs agreed that they could relate to the drama on some levels

10. [+17, -2] I always wondered while watching just how much of it reflected reality.. interesting to know.
