I think you got the incorrect information about Park Bo Geum. He didn’t have the offer as the lead but the second lead, the role Kang Min Hyuk have now.

wow great episode just done watching ep 1 in eng sub from dramalove . hoping for great ratings
April 21st, 2016 at 10:17 am
ji sung new drama, look like this drama very interesting
April 21st, 2016 at 10:41 am
Ep 1 looks promising. But I’m confused about the relationship between Ha Nul and Geu Rin. Are they real siblings? Or just have “siblings” relationship because their families are closed? They have different last name too.

at first, I just excited because jisung can act well, and when i first saw this movie, it just funny and cute! in the middle of the movie its quiate bored maybe because i still dont get it the connection beetwen hyeri hanul and jisung, but when it come to jisung again, my sense is back, its so pity when I saw him being left by his boyband, and his asisten stab his back too, i can feel how frustated and sad mad and even crazy jisung, and through the ending when he hear hanul voice, and bring him hope, while the other side hanul decided to stop singing, i just excited what this drama could be. 🙂 gonna love this drama!
April 21st, 2016 at 11:03 pm
Just finish the 2nd Ep.
April 22nd, 2016 at 2:32 am
Ep 1 was not really interesting but not as bad as what netizens said in news articles. Still gonna continue watching it thou… there must be something in the drama that made a veteran actor like Ji Sung to choose to star in it. But I’m quite disappointed that Hyeri and MinHyuk are just siblings here, they look great together
April 22nd, 2016 at 3:17 pm
I’m gonna stick with this drama because of all their OST. It’s so nice!
April 24th, 2016 at 11:13 pm
Ji Sung oppa…. fighting…..
April 25th, 2016 at 1:12 am
I think
ha neul and geu rin is not siblings 😀
April 26th, 2016 at 12:10 pm
still not conected with this drama….but still ..fighting Ji sung si
April 26th, 2016 at 8:41 pm
I choose this drama for replacing DOTS.. keep the good work Ji Sung and Hyeri!! Hopefully the ratings increase..
April 28th, 2016 at 1:22 am
Interesting story & reality!! Love Ji Sung’s emotion!! Tip-top!! Fighting!!
April 28th, 2016 at 9:19 am
watched the first 2 eps & (spoilers) im concerned about how im supposed to like ji sung’s character when he drove that songwriter to suicide
April 29th, 2016 at 4:36 am
OMG!!! Love the OST. It seems like a good drama so far, just finished ep1 and it look quite promising.
April 29th, 2016 at 8:16 pm
i know that this drama will be lovely , remember the writer is the one who make miracle in cell no 7.
its not easy drama, but very touching, boring when i saw 1st ep, but excited now.
I just think, jisung is not for hyeri, hyeri is for minhyuk, and jisung with the girl called min jo
April 30th, 2016 at 1:10 am
just watch ep 3 & 4
i just can say… why… WHY???????????????????? arghhh, first when I see that rape scene I already thought that its jinu, the one who dump jisung, but why it become real? T_________T I just cant take it if I become jisung, one side its about haneul and their promise when their child, and the other side its about jinu, member of jackson who he rise from the start. ah my heart hurt enough..
then it come to hyeri, I think it over and over, and keep thinking hyeri and jisung isnt well, but in Ep 4 , I can feel their chemistry, not much but there’s chemistry..
start to like it both.
this drama make me wanna watch ore and more, still many quetion hit my head.
who is hyeri to minhyuk? I dont think their relationship only sibling, the scene when hyeri want to leave minhyuk, she said that she stay because minhyuk parents, and it just weird if they only sibling.
and minjoo and suk ho, I think minjoo likes suk ho and suk ho didnt realize it,
and I hate jisung ex Asistant much, for everything he makes for trouble jisung, just wish the writer give him a hard lesson.
ah Cant wait to watch ep 5, really there’s no boring scene like ep 1
April 30th, 2016 at 2:38 am
Maybe park shin hye on this drama just cameo but its nice….
April 30th, 2016 at 2:38 am
i don’t know why everyone doesn’t like the lead characters to end up together tbh i ship them , i know there is no chemistry between jisung and hyeri now, because they didn’t love each other yet , but i think later on when they start to have feeling for each other it will become more interesting anyway , i hope the rating will increase later on FIGHTING <33
April 30th, 2016 at 2:41 am
park shin hye on this drama just cameo but its nice….
April 30th, 2016 at 7:52 am
this drama is really good! Idk why ppl keep on hating it and giving negative responses. At first there’s no chemistry between hyeri n jisung but on ep 4 slowly i can feel the small chemy. And hyeri n minhyuk isn’t blood related somehow like a triangle love.
and what i really like here is it’s really about kpop industry, about music! And slightly there’s a love story. The plot is good for me. Maybe for the first ep it was kinda hard to understand but the drama keep on getting better as expected of jisung drama!
I can’t wait for the next episode. I hope the ratings keep on going up!
April 30th, 2016 at 8:17 am
I clicked ljoe’s name but when i clicked it suddenly i go to teen top china wikipedia. Hm, how about made a page at koreandrama.org for him like what the others have?
April 30th, 2016 at 9:39 am
I can watch all jisung drama!
You are a very talented actor that break the boundaries.
I think i got jisung fever 😂
Age gap doesn’t matter. Wish the rating burst out 😘😘
May 1st, 2016 at 8:55 am
great,,always amazed by ji sung’s acting. this drama is simple in story,,,but very melancholic..
May 1st, 2016 at 2:16 pm
I really love this drama and i love the ost! Esp the one sung by suran. It’s a cute ost, her voice is really catchy. I also love the one sung by gary! 딴딸라 파이팅!!
May 6th, 2016 at 10:12 pm
Boycott the talented boy band from music live performance on Tv by powerful kpop big bro? Doesn’t that sound so familiar? Ahhh… J Y J !
May 7th, 2016 at 6:15 pm
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
May 9th, 2016 at 10:26 am
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

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
I love this drama… each actor and actress show their talent well… you feel the characters feeling like happiness, excitement even the pain… its a good drama ever….
October 12th, 2016 at 5:13 pm

i hope there are season2 …pleasee
its very good drama,,keep it up
