Ji Sung and Hyeri get dolled up for Entertainer photo shoot
by girlfriday
You know, Ji Sung might be a lot older than Hyeri, but he’s just as pretty. Entertainer‘s leads got together for a glossy photo spread in InStyle, and the production has released more posters and teasers just in time for the show’s premiere this week on SBS. It was also announced that Park Shin-hye (Pinocchio) stopped by the set for a cameo (or actually, she stopped by with a coffee truck and agreed to cameo when they asked), which reunited her for a day with the PD of You’re Beautiful and the writer of Miracle in Cell No. 7 and The Royal Tailor. Is it too much to hope she made an appearance as Go Mi-nam?
I really think they’re promoting this drama well, because everything about the setup sounds obvious and standard, but I’m won over by the bouncy teasers and pretty stills. Or maybe Ji Sung having fun is just infectious? He plays a hotshot executive who used to put together the top idol groups in the country, but a betrayal leads him to strike out on his own and form an underdog band.
Hyeri is a plucky, hardworking college student with a gazillion part-time jobs, and she’s especially protective of Kang Min-hyuk, a high school senior she takes care of as a little brother. She looks out for him ever since he lost his parents in a tragedy, and becomes skeptical when Ji Sung approaches him to be in a band. She doesn’t trust Ji Sung and wants to keep an eye on Kang Min-hyuk, so she becomes their road manager.
The newest teaser has Ji Sung and Kang Min-hyuk meeting on a rooftop when they’ve both hit rock bottom — Ji Sung has lost everything and Min-hyuk swears he’ll never do music again. Ji Sung starts trying to convince him to be in his band, and Hyeri asks tearfully for him to leave Min-hyuk alone. She’s his guardian, which means Ji Sung will have to win her over first. Maybe he wins her over too much, from the looks of things.
Entertainer premieres this Wednesday on SBS.

Why do I feel so nervous about this.. LOVE jisung but unsure about minhyuk and hyeri. Hyeri proved her acting chops in r88 by playing a character that was similar to her own personality but that's different when trying to embody a different character from yourself. Not only that but the audio in the trailer was really iffy. It didn't seem very professional. Anyways, entertainer fighting! I will still watch and root for this :)

Just b/c someone supposedly plays a character similar to their own personality doesn't mean it isn't acting.
Plenty of idols turned actors who can't realistically emote - pain, surprise, anger, sadness, etc.
If it were that easy - every idol from the start would be a good actor/actress.

"You know, Ji Sung might be a lot older than Hyeri, but he’s just as pretty."
I have to say that I both agree and disagree with this statement.
Jisung IS prettier than Hyeri. I actually never found her pretty, much less beautiful. Attractive, maybe.
And he is and LOOKS much older than her...so I find their up-coming romance awkward for me. Unfortunately, Hyeri doesn't have a mature look that can help make her look older - not like UEE.

Ji Sung is good actor and gorgeous man but he look old beside hyeri. I have a feeling i might have second lead syndrome this time. I almost never get second lead syndrome, not since Won Bin in Autumn in my heart.

I will admit I am nervous also. When he is talking to her up close, he looks like he could be a parent talking to a child. A very good looking and sexy parent, but still.

Ji Sung, I am happy to see him back but can't shake off that feeling of unease at the entire cast. I am skeptic about Hyeri an Min Hyuk holding their own with Ji Sung there. Fingers crossed. Now Chae Jung-Ahn I love and know will deliver so lets wait and hopefully this will be great.

As long as Hyeri do not shout as loud as HJE then all is well. #Unpop but I like Hyeri more than HJE and the actress who is paired up with Jisung in Protect The Boss. Hate their over acting so much!!!

You should watch Endless Love and Secret before saying HJE overacts. You might change your opinion. She does what she is told even at the expense of looking like a complete lunatic. As for Hyeri, I sincerely hope she does deliver. I still find her pretty forgettable acting wise. Maybe this is it for her.

Now that we have some ideas of Minhyuk's character, I'm glad that Park Bogum passed this drama. Otherwise, he would be playing Hyeri's younger brother ?

They weren't blood related or real siblings though. She just took care of him and act as his guardian after he lost both his parents. I feel like he will have secret feelings for her just like PSJ have for HJE in KMHM.

He's a dad, but he looks so youthful and he's not even a particularly young dad.
He looks mature but his skin looks like perfect. Is it Photoshop and the airbrush effect?
I just have a special place in my 'actor/actress drawer' in my heart for BOTH him and his wife.

WAITAMINUTE.
Hyeri is playing Minhyuk's older sister? Puahahahahahahaha. I'm sorry, I find this kinda funny seeing that Minhyuk is in reality older than Hyeri.
I know that really doesn't matter when acting in a drama and actors swap ages all the time, but I still find it amusing. Hee.

Ji Sung looks GOOD here. Handsomely good and young! And maybe this is only me, but seems like he's the only one not "posing" in those posters, unlike the others. He's really full of energy, even in still pictures. Looks like he's really enjoying himself.

Even from the first teaser, Jisung seems like channeling his inner or younger Perry Park in this drama.
Can't wait.

I think Perry Park and Sin Se-gi image from KMHM. btw you all heard KMHM got the awards in some Houston movie awards? along with King of Masked singer.
PD said Jisung's acting was like he was possessed - can't wait.

@GF, r u crushing on my oppa? ? But seriously, he looks so youthful. Hyeri is just the girl to bring out from his shell as he is so shy in real life. I too had been questioning the pairing but looking at their chemistry, it WILL work.

I don't know why but i'm not worried about the age gap. Well in fact i know it's because it's ji sug
What i am is a little worried that the drama would be good or about the young actors' acting or that the drama would do well ratings wise. but just for ji sung 's sake
I thrust his choices, his talents chops enough so i know he can pull the drama. So far he never dissaponted me. kmhm is my fave drama. Secret and ptb i adore. New heart is love. Royal family is one of the Best dramas i've seen. Swallow the sun is good and he looks so good in it. Stldfm so cute and adicting. I also liked his sageuks ksr and the great seer
Guess i'm a fan

I think Ji Sung looks much younger than his age and thus doesn't look mismatched with Hyeri.
Kind of funny that Kang Min Hyuk is playing a high schooler.
Who's the guy with glasses and striped sweater? I hope he's the "geek who turns out to be brilliant and hot" band member.

Still disturbingly age-inappropriate. Hyeri isn't impressive, so I'm worried she'll bring down the quality of this drama. Jisung would've done better paired with a leading lady that's both actually an adult and actually an actress. This looks like I'm going to get second lead syndrome for the second lead LADY again, which is typical when it's someone like Chae Jungahn.

yesss i admit.......... Ji sung doesn't look his age at all.
I saw or heard anything about Hyeri, for the first time in AM 88, I liked her quite well also. but in this poster she is looking forced and kind of emotionless while ji sung is infectiously gorgeous. I think she suits better for portraying clueless characters. please prove me wrong...................still i think if an experienced actor like ji sung has signed in, then it will be worth giving a chance.

Started to like Hyeri after her performance in AM/Reply 1988, but after watching the latest ep of "Happy Together" (where she appears w/ 2 of her cast-mates from 1988 and Yura from Girl's Day) - am liking her even more.
Choi Sung-won (who played the younger brother) looks a lot different (much younger now) now that he lost weight (thinking that the producers asked him to gain weight in order to look older while they had asked Go Kyung-pyo to lose weight to look younger) - and he has rock-hard abs to boot.
