First still cuts of the boys of Entourage

24 September 28, 2016

The first stills from tvN’s Entourage are out, and for a remake of an HBO series that depicts the cutthroat entertainment industry where egos and emotions run high, our first glimpse is decidedly sunlit and understated. I was totally expecting to see the talent agent played by Jo Jin-woong (Signal) holler into his phone or chuck his dissatisfying lunch across the room. Or at his assistant.

But perhaps they’re saving the good stuff for when the show premieres. The fully preproduced remake is about a movie star and his entourage consisting of his close circle of childhood buddies and his agent, navigating the frequently vapid, occasionally glamorous world of showbiz.

Seo Kang-joon (Cheese in the Trap) plays Young-bin, the hot young rising movie star, and Park Jung-min (You’re All Surrounded) plays his best friend and manager named Ho-jin. Lee Kwang-soo (Dear My Friends) plays Joon, Young-bin’s cousin and C-list actor, and Lee Dong-hwi (Answer Me 1988) is Turtle, friend of Young-bin and worrier of nothing. And finally, Jo Jin-woong takes on the role of Kim Eun-gab, Young-bin’s powerful talent agent.

In the top still, the boys are looking cool and youthful with their easy stances. In the bottom stills, Jo Jin-woong appears very much like a talent agent in his tailored suit. Of course he’s looking at his phone, and his office wouldn’t be his if there weren’t stacks of scripts on the table.

With a cast like this, I’ll definitely be tuning in. I loved tvN’s sleek remake of The Good Wife and have high hopes that Entourage will be another remake success story. Fingers (and all other crossable parts of the body) are crossed!

Entourage is a Friday-Saturday tvN drama that will premiere on November 4.

I cannot WAIT to see Jo Jin Woong's take on a-hole Ari. Oh man, I hope he does not hold back!

I didn't really like how I guess, vulgar and sexual Entourage could be but I really hope this show still has some edge and crudeness to it. Especially since we are dealing with a group of single male friends in their mid to late 20's.

Well, Seo Kang-joon looks good. ? It will certainley be interesting to see how (and how MUCH) they will deviate from the original. It would be cool to get into a different side of the Korean entertainment industry. Most dramas portray it in a relatively clean manner. I want to get some dirt on it!

My fingers are crossed.

I never watched the HBO series. did tray GOT because everybody liked it. but stopped when I understand that they gonna have allot of nudity and violence in it, like every episode. I am ok in smal doses. but seems like they did it for shock value... have since stayed away from HBO. so when I heard that tvN gonna remake this serie I was surprised. Just hope they don´t forget the Korean sentiment and keep it in a youthful but tasteful maner.

It won't be Entourage anymore if it was youthful and tasteful!

Jo Jin Woong and Lee Je Hoon have both signed on for 2 collaborations with tvN now...

All we need now is Kim Hye Soo to snag another show to complete the trifecta! *wishful thinking*

I hope this is good anyway. I really like the cast.

I still find it interesting how they wanted to make a remake out of a series that is, in comparison to Korean dramas, so vulgar and sexual. I remember watching Entourage and I enjoyed it. Hopefully they will find a way to not stray too far from the mood of the original. Who knows, maybe this might end up like a completely different show from the original, with only the name and inspiration coming from the American one.
