Yoon Hyun-gi was formerly a chief producer at Studio Dragon. There he had responsibility over such projects as "Monstar", "Emergency Couple", "Bring It On, Ghost", "Memory", "Chicago Typewriter", "Mother - Drama", "Confession - Drama", "A Piece of Your Mind", "Crash Landing on You", and "Record of Youth". Yoon Hyun-gi had a reputation for focusing on the more humanistic element of dramas, suggesting that Playlist Studio may be headed in that direction creatively.A representative for Playlist Studios claimed that the hiring of Yoon Hyun-gi was intended to improve their competitiveness by expanding into other genres. The representative stated that Playlist Studios is also hopeful that Yoon Hyun-gi's industry experience may allow them to move more aggressively into traditional television miniseries or over the top platforms. "Live On" is one existing example of Playlist Studios' previous attempts to expand their reach- although its ratings ended up being fairly poor.
