seems interesting. i am that kind of viewer who always craves for bts scene, so this drama sounds tempting for me.

I got at first interested because of Minhyuk, ergo, the other visual in BtoB besides Yook Sungjae. I liked his drama Nightmare Teacher with Kim Sohyun (although I still don't understand the ending??? Anyone?)... but after the countless teasers, and press con, the concept is really intriguing me. Not because I expect anything reel to become real, but because I'm really curious how the producers are going to present this. Sooo curious!!

You mentioned "Producers" but am I the only one who thought about "God of Music" for a second while reading the description? :D

Probably it's just me because I binge watch that show everyday, and on second thought they don't seem that similar at all, mainly due to using character names instead of real actors' names. Very subtle difference but makes for a very diferent feel. Hope the drama is fun and entertaining and keeps to its concept to the end instead of discarding it halfway

So long as there are cameras rolling, to me, it's not "real" in the slightest. Even if people want to act genuine, they are still performing, to say the least.
It really just feels like wgm. Participants are given things to do and a general outline while the actors say and do things they think the audience would enjoy. They just decided to add in the "drama" format to make a different label when essentially they'll probably end up the same idea. Blurring the lines, feeding into shipper hearts, and feeling rather contrived.
In my honest opinion this was a horrible idea when I first heard about it, and even with the new promo released, it confirms it.

So this is like We Got Married but with them shoeing us the PD and scene directions?

i hope the main couple will be Ha Sukjin-Yoon Sohee

I think it's a mix of Producers and King of Dramas, that's if Kyungsung's Morning (drama-within-drama in KOD) was actually treated like a real drama.

This is like showception!! I'm totally confused on how levels the actors are acting but hey, sounds cute!

Not got my head wrapped around the concept yet, but whatever!! It sounds like fun, and I feel like I'm going to enjoy this one (no underage female leads...at least as far as I hope). I love Yoon So Hee, and whilst I haven't seen Minhyuk act very much he's a real cutie and they look like they're going to be an adorable pair! Very excited to watch these two.

So basically is it what would happen if wgm, a drama and what the producers wanted to be had a love child?

So....this is WGM. Hell this show is making WGM sound real...so they are shooting a rom-com drama...then some behind the scenes of the rom-com (mockumentary part) then we got the variety of will the reel feelings of the "drama" become real feelings...??? So, it's WGM: Cable Edition....

The concept of this show. I can buy that sometimes feelings of reel and real blur and I'm sure there are tons of behind the scenes short relationships or affairs we never hear about. However reel to real relationships that last, rarely ever work out. Eh, I enjoy WGM for what it is, so if this gets subbed and the couples are cute enough; I'll watch.

I would be so look forward to this if the Producer didn't happen first , that show is not bad but it prove to me that Korea's entertainment industry still not brave enough to try new idea yet , when 90% of the drama are live produce , they depend and cater too heavily to the feedback/criticism from netizens so I'm not sure they would stick to the original idea or "one , two , three episodes ok people don't get it , they don't like it , let just do the drama then"

So the concept of this drama is to pretend that the variety show in the drama is real and what the actors do in the show are real too. And the difference between this drama and an actual reality-variety show is that the reactions in this reality-variety drama are scripted while the ones in the latter are supposedly spontaneous.

But since we know that most so-called reality-variety shows are scripted, does it make those shows technically..this drama?

Not sure if anybody watched the american drama series, UnReal, but seems like it's going to be similar. Wasn't that intrigued at first, but watching those clips makes me want to give it a go.

I'm still confused about the format, but it's that confusion that has me intrigued. I hope they don't abandon it halfway the way I heard Producers did.

Confusion and apprehension aside, my interest is at least peaked by how good they look in that poster... ?

so I am fairly new to Korean entertainment but this sort of sounds to me like a more artsy dating show, am I right?

artsy because they're acting out a script at the beginning but feels like reality tv...I'm gulty of watching a few bad American dating reality tv shows so I am kind of interested in this premise...

Well, that's confusing. I hope they just make the whole thing 100% scripted and mention that in every single episode because fans can get carried away and actually think everything is real lmao

Omo omo omo I just finished watching Sungjae-Joy on We Got Married a few weeks ago and I currently am having withdrawal symptoms (it's so hard to let go ㅠ.ㅠ I was so heartbroken and I don't want to heal just yet lol)

I have no doubt that unless I avoid watching this drama altogether, After The Show Ends is going to feed on my inner desires and make me go insane and desperate imagining what might have happened between my 쀼 behind the scenes. Not to mention, it's BTOB's Minhyuk in the drama!!! HELP!!!!!!! 일일구불러!!!!!

I am actually excited about Yoon So hee but not too excited about Yura so much. It reminds me a bit like PRODUCERS but less known actors. I hope the actual storyline is better than PRODUCERS except I loved Cindy! lol Imagine if Cindy (PRODUCERS) were to show up! hahah

This probably using similar concept as : "Unreal" or "Telenova" but with cute, totally kdrama style...
