I want Kim Tae Hun in this drama. He either can be a good guy or the bad guy that will not die.

I never liked Entourage, but actually love the idea of the Korean remake. In the right hands it might work really well. There is nothing surprising about Hollyweird. Stories of sex,drugs and Kartrashians are literally everywhere, to the point of informational oversaturation.

In contrast, the backstage of Korean entertainment industry is still a major mystery. Why do adult Korean actors/actresses have to pretend that they don't have any sex life? Why do people like Jin Se-yeon keep getting lead roles despite being absolutely terrible? I would love to see a drama that at least attempts to explore 'real stuff'' instead of PG-friendly fake versions of it, like Producers or The King of Dramas. Make it happen tvN.

Speaking of remakes, I just finished watching the last season of 'Friends' and now, I'm thinking about the korean actors and actresses who can be in a Korean version.hahahaha

I don't think it will translate well in Korea. Especially knowing the nature of kpop agencies. But who knows, maybe they could make another Producers or King of Dramas?
And I vote for Kim Myung Min to be in this drama. His Anthony character is too awesome!

I liked the first few seasons of Entourage but then I stopped watching after a while. It was hilarious but I wasn't into kdramas back then so it was also really new and exciting. Translated to dramaaland, I don't quite see its appeal. But those fantasy casting - specially of more older actors - is perfect because I see them being a lot less worried about what audiences will think and just go for it. That would be awesome but I still think this idea should've remained dead.

Also, I can see Kim Soo-hyun playing an insensitive brat (in a not-endearing way even) if he didn't just do Producers. I don't think he's extremely conscious of his image and likes to take on very different characters instead of rehashing the same. He's also made it clear he wants to play the villain despite his very vivid hero image. I just don't think it's likely since his last drama was about the industry and this is in cable.

I'd love for Lee Min-ho to do it even if it's isnt much of a challenge for him. Or even Lee Seung-gi for the irony which will be plain hilarious. Maybe he can do it since I think the other two are too huge for cable? I dunno.

I never saw "K Town Cowboys" on YouTube but wasn't the inspiration behind that web series basically a Korean Entourage?

I mostly just vehemently agree that Jung Woo should do more dramas.

I like Entourage but I don't need another Entourage. I'm not a fan of remake and I never like any remake version of any dramas/movies and I'm not looking forward for the part2 of my favorites dramas/movies such as Winter Sonata and why in the world do they even think about making a My Sassy Girl part 2? Fuck that idea!

I love Entourage very much (even thogh i still didn't finish last season and watch the movie) so the idea of korean remake sounds fun but yeah im sure it won't be blunt and provocative like the original.

Anyway i lovee your dream casting of KMM ad Jang Hyuk (especially if he rekindles the character of Lee Gun from FTLY it was awesome!) but i agree if he'll be ari he would totally steal the show moreover if the korean vince wll be some pretty guy without personality (but isn't it ari who stole the show in entourage? lol).

I will prefer if the cast will be more older cast like in the ages between 30-40 and the show can relate to more adult audience and not just teens.

Out of all of the American series they choose to remake, they chose Entourage? Seriously? HBO has made some of the best programs and they choose one of their worst, go figure.

I happen to have recently watched the whole show & the movie & while l agree that the show wasn't as good as before season 5 (which is very common among American shows) but it still kept itself entertaining thanks to characters like Johnny Drama & of course the very mouthful Ari Gold.
I actually can see the appeal of shows like that that poke fun of the industry & its insiders & l appreciated the cameos from unexpected celebrities like Scorcese & james cameron so l can see it work but surely Not in the same outrageous way American did it given the very so called correct & conservative image the korean entertainement industry tries to market itself
as for characters l shall strat of course with the one who actually made the show for me which is Ari Gold. I looove KMM just like anyone of you guys but how about the very TvN darling Li Sung min? I can see him pulling it like a pro!
As for vince l don't think it's a character that requires strong acting chops so l don't really care. Unlike Drama who is a complex character because l think it's very hard to play someone who is goofy, pathetic, very full of himself & likable at the same time not to forget hilarious as hell
anyway looking forward to seeing how far will a drama dare to make fun of the entertainement & the people in it. For exemple will they dare insert real celebrity anecdotes? Real stories behind the making of some well drama/movie? Give away scandals? Cameos by celebrities playing douchier version of themselves?
We will see about that!

Might not translate well to Kdrama but I'm totally up for image tarnishing dramas

I loled when i saw the headline, entourage remake haha is that even possible. They shouldn't have bothered getting rights because there's is no way it will be similar, what time do they plan on airing it 3 am?

I can really Sung Joon as Vince. He has the same mysterious, sexy vibe.

And I weirdly love Entourage, and would love for them to make anything nearly as outrageous in Korea. I would eat it up, even if the Korean public isn't exactly ready for it.

So this time, we'll get to see an Asian male character who is more than a minor, supporting role for laughs?

This is a very dangerous idea that can backfire to tvN anytime but at the same time this is also a tempting challenge. An Entourage remake in Korea will either be a hit or miss; if the drama is real enough, or even shockingly real, it'll be a hit, if it's exaggerating or way too save then it'll certainly fail.

I agree that Korean entertainment industry still looks much cleaner compared to the its music industry, and I think it will be nice if there are people who are brave enough to reveal it, even the actors themselves. There's nothing better than 'smartly' coming clean, right?

Still can't imagine the possible cast because damn Entourage is such a tricky plot/theme for Korean society

Here's something I don't understand (please somebody explain it to me):
"The image-conscious factor also makes me wonder who’d star in it, because everyone has to protect their family-friendly images."

Because I've seen actors like Joo Jin Mo, Zo In Sung, Jung Woo Sung, and Song Ji-hyo star in VERY riske films and are still featured in tv dramas so why would a hedonistic role post an ongoing problem?

I know Korean fans are unaccepting of personal real life scandals, but this is not real and even if it's true that such roles will alienate Korean audiences, then why are some actors (see above that I've mentioned) not affected? (I mean you can't get more family oriented than Running Man and yet Song Ji-hyo is there without any fan objections.

Why Entourage? Why not Gossip Girl? This is TvN, anyway, I am sure they will have no problem recreating (or re-interpreting) Blair and Chuck's scenes and their inflammable chemistry. The drama, the twist and turn, evil plots and so on, are there already. Just need to be k-dramatized, with good background song and long captivating look-at-each-other way.

Give me Eric Mun and TOP on the same screen. I don't mind the screen will got burn!!!!

While people were aware of what happens in Hollywood (especially these days) back then Entourage was one of the firsts that gave you a front row seat to the day-to-day business side of Hollywood - in addition to the outright shenanigans of course. Therefore, I personally could see Entourage becoming a kmovie before I see it becoming a television show, because if TVN is going to do Entourage, they need to push the envelope more than The Producers. They need to make people feel like they are getting an all access pass to something they shouldn't being seeing while trying not to offend their audience...which can be tricky.
