[Drama Recap] Producer: Episode 11

Baek Seung Chan (Kim Soo Hyun) apologizes Tak Ye Jin (Gong Hyo Jin) for his sudden behavior. He is embarrassed because she does not consider making love to her although he plucked up the courage to kiss her. 

Ra Joon Mo (Cha Tae Hyun) gazes away Ye Jin's retreating figure, on the day she moves out. Tears in her eyes, Ye Jin also watches him in the side mirror. Seung Chan comes to see her off when the truck already pulled away and Joon Mo bothers with him who gets close to his old friend. 

The preview of 1 Night 2 Days has tarnished Cindy (IU)'s lofty image and she visits the rookie producer on the plea of questioning him closely about a beggar Cindy. She feels better as soon as he compliments her new character that the public can feel more familiar with her and makes her more lovely.

When Ye Jin is placed in difficult circumstances because she can't carry all her stuff alone, Seung Chan magically appears to carry and unpack them. He is not happy about Joon Mo came to her aid and he feels that there is uncrossable wall between him and his sunbae.   

Joon Mo suffers from low ratings for the variety show and the program is jeopardised. Seung Chan stays with Joon Mo eating a cheap hamburger although the other staff members went to eat homemade burgers with a producer of the new variety show which is scheduled to replace 1 Day 2 Nights.

Seung Chan presents Ye Jin a pocket torch for a dark alley in front of her new apartment. She asks a writer of Music Bank for advice about her love relationships and the youngest says she needs to choose a man who she doesn't feel sorry. 

The pure man so sad that he cries a lot because she doesn't let him into her heart in spite of all his heart and soul.

Byun Mi Sook (Na Young Hee) lets Cindy reveal a secret about her parents and the public blames the singer for her lies. Seung Chan tries to convince Joon Mo to help her staying on the TV show and the chief producer decides to keep her against another confrontation with the CEO.

Cindy curls up in bed all alone and reaches for sleeping pills, Manager Oppa sits in the car feeling adrift, and Hong-soon obsesses over being ignored by Office Nazi. Chapter 11 is about understanding ratings: “You can’t earn them with effort, but you still have to try.”
Seung-chan sits on the swings by himself and looks wistfully at Ye-jin’s empty swing, while Ye-jin takes out the flashlight that he gave her when she has to walk down her dark street. But suddenly the street lamps go on one by one, lighting her path. She smiles to remember Seung-chan’s thoughtfulness, when he mentioned that she should call to have them replace the bulbs.

Cindy opens her eyes to a dreamlike haze, and she tries to focus her eyes in what seems like a mist. Seung-chan’s face slowly comes into focus, and ha—he’s spraying her with a water bottle.
She still doesn’t understand what’s going on and just blinks as his beaming smile comes into focus, and then sits up to find her bed surrounded by the entire 1N2D crew, plus Manager Oppa, who’s near tears.
She looks around at them, confused, and Joon-mo says, “Cindy, what’re you doing? We have to go shoot!” She looks around the room slowly and lands on Seung-chan, who holds out an Americano (likely full of eel sauce, knowing them), and he tells her she has to drink it. That suddenly does the trick and she realizes what’s happening—that they haven’t abandoned her and she’s still on their show—and she bursts into sobs.

Cindy weeps for joy like a child looking at the people who don't let her leave alone despite the tough climate.

Epilogue...

Joon Mo files a civil complaint to install streetlight in the alley for his old friend and is really happy with the news that the alley will be brightly lit with streetlamps from tonight.
