just watch ep 5 & 6
nothing much I cant say, I just can feel their pain from the situation. the writer good enough to make peacefull then slaps your face hard.
this kind of situation, when A Big Ent , take down just an amatir for their Issue and benefit, I Know it well.. I’m part of few person know well how hard it would be for idol and their new agency.
a bit dissapointed for jinu, because he was scare he deceiving jisung then follow his ego to make minhyuk take for his action.
but I just feel something fishy about it, I think jinu didnt do that, and something about lee ji young and sukho ex asistant.
it just an exploded bomb, when I know that the death of minhyuk brother is related with Ktop.
and for sukho and hyeri, I dont feel a different age in real life in this drama. but, sorry, I ship minhyuk and hyeri XD and maybe hyeri and kyle XD
anyway, the rating go higher! congratulation XD

Entertainer – HAVE FINISHED EP 6.
WORTH WATCHING. ITS INTERESTING. 😛
May 11th, 2016 at 10:50 pm
‘what goes around, comes around.’ must be humbling for suk ho to experience the feeling many times over. for that lesson in life alone, this drama is worth watching. it burdens him that the present hurdles are because of him and his past behavior towards people whom he thought were below him. but what goes up, must come down!
May 13th, 2016 at 9:52 pm
Enjoyable so far… Entertaining…
May 14th, 2016 at 10:08 pm
im not satisfied with main female lead, she was my fav on Rely 1988 but here cant seem to ship her seriously, her acting is way too kiddish (NO HATE)
May 15th, 2016 at 9:08 pm
Ji Sung & Hyeri = age gap 17
Hyeri appearance too young to match Ji Sung in romance though love is no age gap.
Ji Sung more match Chae Jung Ahn as Yeo Min Joo 😛
May 19th, 2016 at 10:06 am
Yah, i totally agree with Ok Ok Ok, Ji Sung matches more with Chae Jung Ahn. Not against Hyeri’s acting or anything. The character of Geu Rin in terms of maturity doesnt match Shin Suk Ho. Other than the attention on her being in a relationship with Shin, i feel that it will be more meaningful if it develops more on how she matures as a person in handling life issues and grow as a band manager.
Im glad that Kang Min Hyuk took on the role of Ha Nuel. 👍👍 Very happy that the story is able to show the band members growing closer to each other in short span of time. Good job.
Enjoyable drama. Yes!!
May 20th, 2016 at 12:59 am
This drama, I find it great especially Ji Sung, the new coming young actors & story line!! Great!!
BUT…… OMG Hyeri is totally not OK… and out of sudden Ji Sung fells in love with her… This is weird!! Hyeri should pair with the one from the young band NOT Ji Sung!!
Disappointed for this arrangement!
May 20th, 2016 at 8:17 am
This drama is good. The storyline and the characters are well developed, except one. The lead female just ‘meh’ for me. Her acting on this drama is not quite so good compare to what she does on Reply1988.
May 21st, 2016 at 11:25 pm
Jisung n Hyeri not a gd match. Hyeri’s acting is blah here. Thumbs up to Min Hyuk.
May 22nd, 2016 at 3:25 am
hey guys i have question episode 1 series part 11:12 sec are you know this song name? i really need this song!!! pls help me….
May 23rd, 2016 at 3:54 pm
I shipped Ming Hyuk and Hyeri~
May 27th, 2016 at 9:18 am
Is there any chance of minhyuk and geu rin being together? I hope the romance will focus on minhyuk and hyeri but bromance between minhyuk and jisung will too
May 28th, 2016 at 6:05 am
Only on episode 4, but reading the reviews, not happy with a Ji Sung Hyeri romance. Seventeen year, real life gap, is to much. Sad that drama fans seem to have to have a romance brewing or they lose interest in the show.
Also confused, again only on episode 4, but some reviews want a romance between Min Hyuk and Hyteri, aren’t they sister and brother?
May 28th, 2016 at 5:00 pm
The first few episodes are not bad but it’s getting boring now.
May 30th, 2016 at 12:57 pm
1) ep 11, ep 12 lack excitement. kind of boring
2) romance don’t click in here for Ji Sung & Hyeri.
3) Hyeri don’t attracts me at all.
Anyway, I will still continue to hold on and watch the outcome 🙁
June 1st, 2016 at 6:01 am
To tell you the truth the drama is neither interesting nor exciting.
But I’ll watch it for ji sung
June 2nd, 2016 at 9:55 am
Got to episode 12, waiting for 13. I like it,it’s about life. Great subject.
June 4th, 2016 at 10:28 pm
I couldn’t finish the first episode. The overall plot is quite boring so won’t be watching this. It’s not my cup of tea.
June 11th, 2016 at 9:17 pm
The ending is so weak & some plot left unanswered.
They should name their band to Moonsorrow instead of Entertainer band . Don’t believe me.. watch the finale .
June 13th, 2016 at 4:07 am
no explaination why Yeo Min Joo left her old company and help build mango entertainment, and Shin Suk Ho not know how to pay for Yeo Min Joo help him build mango entertainment, how come someone work in entertainment world as CEO or director not know what is love and what will happend in ending between Yeo Min Joo and Shin Suk Ho?????
June 13th, 2016 at 7:46 am
No doubt this drama is mostly about the youngsters and heir different characters. Ji Sung had always been a good actor and always will be. I do not think age is any difference either if they are in love with each other. Hyeri is not childish in this drama only that is her character for this drama. I think she did well all the way as I am now in Episode 10. The story is fantastic all about being famous in this kind of industry. All the young actors are good looking and good actors too, in this drama they have all good actors and actresses old and young. Second drama I liked this year after Another Oh Hay Yong and Descendant of the Sun. Just hope for a good ending and am sure it will
June 14th, 2016 at 10:58 am
Hye Ri is better off as a singer or if she plans to do dramas she should have been casted as a second lead. Her beauty is not tailored for a lead role
June 17th, 2016 at 7:22 am
Hye Ri is not fitted for this role. Should have gotten older person to be a manager. The rest of the band is perfect specially Ming Hyuk. Ji Sung – thumbs up!
June 17th, 2016 at 3:01 pm
Was Park Eun Bin casted as Soo Hyun (a drummer) in the last episode? Someone please let me know. Thanks so much.
June 18th, 2016 at 12:05 am
the lives of the people forming an ‘entertainer’ band, but it’s more on suk ho and how he affected the people around him, being responsible and a good manager. it’s okay to watch, there are some miscasts though.
June 18th, 2016 at 12:11 am
Great drama with all the awesome actors and actresses!………….
Great ending too………….
June 18th, 2016 at 4:00 am
Excelent drama…….Ji Sung you are an amazing very handsome profesional actor thank for your excelent work in all your dramas…and all the actor and actresses very well too……love love this drama
June 24th, 2016 at 12:44 pm
light…warm…entertaining…what a perfect match title…don’t expect 2 c KMHM here…but worth 2 watch…way 2 go Ji sung <3
July 2nd, 2016 at 12:51 am
I been following the episodes. It is a good and touching story. Ji sung plays a very brave and high EQ manager. He is good in handling all of casting. I love it, thanks. To all the other actor, well done too! Lastly, I love this drama
July 11th, 2016 at 8:02 pm
i didn’t see anything wrong about age gap between jisung and hyeri. Because love is not about age, it’s all about feel. i can say this because i have seen this kind of scene everyday 😀 age gap between my father and mother is almost 20 years. On top of all that my mother is white and my father is brown (i can’t say that he’s black cause he’s ain’t black :D) and they look really cute together
July 14th, 2016 at 6:44 pm
I think this drama worth to watch.just like the title entertainer, so this drama entertain for me.the story good ,funy , and sad.and the cast also look good too.
Why the rating so not good. Strange. But for me this drama interesting.so guys watch this drama.
August 2nd, 2016 at 3:28 pm
