I love this drama. Hands down, one of my favorites for 2016, and I've watched many this year. It's rare for a drama to tackle so many hot topics and juggle them successfully, adding splashes of humor, a touch of romance and heaps of bromance to boot. So much love for this drama. There's some amazing themes throughout the show as well, I need to go back and watch for them again. Perhaps I had the benefit of not making too many preconceptions of the plot, but I was hooked from episode one. Normally when you hear "underdog story about a band and their manager" you'd think of... I dunno, That Thing You Do. This is not that movie. Entertainer had me nearly in tears at times (I have to say nearly because I never actually cried). And you can't give it enough credit for bringing everything around full circle the way it does. Everything has a place, even if you don't see it for a while. Kudos, writers, I should have trusted you more. But let's break it down. Acting/Cast: Although Ji-Sung is definitely the most veteran of the actors, I think everyone did a pretty fantastic job here. I was especially impressed with Lee Tae Sun, who debuted with this drama. He's got a future here, I hope. I've never seen Hye-ri act until now but I enjoyed her performance, giving a good blend of "grew up too fast" and "not done growing up". They gave the romance space and acknowledged the age gap in-drama, so I was satisfied on that front. If there's one person I wish had developed their character a bit more it's Jeon No-min, who was just a bit too obvious in his portrayal as villain. Ji-Sung made his character shine, and I loved him even when he was a bad word at the beginning of it all. Music: You know it's gonna be a great drama when the first thing you hear in the first episode is ABBA. Seriously, this is one of the most listen-to-able OSTs I've heard in a long time. I loved all the different "themed" songs and the songs the band made, too. Rewatch Value: I don't often spend hours listening to OSTs set to drama clips. With Entertainer, that's exactly what I do. I seriously could watch our Ddanddara band be cute together forever. So much love. Thanks Entertainer, for giving me a few weeks of Kdrama crack!
