My thoughts on:
Entourage
Starring: Seo Kang Joon/Lee Kwang Soo/So Hee/ Cho Jin-woong/Park Jung Min/Lee Dong Hwi
- Genuine friendships really matter. It's always nice to have someone to lean on on hard days and someone to celebrate with on glory days. 💯😊
- Friendships that can overcome many obstacles are to last a lifetime. As the saying goes, partnerships that overcome struggles become stronger.
I think it's the same with friendships: When the friendship is on a deeper level, petty issues are easily resolved and bigger misunderstandings don't last long. 👍🏻😇😊
- Loyalty is very hard to find. In any industry, one's loyalty cannot be guaranteed.
I can't say anything else since not much can be said about it if it can't be guaranteed. Do you get me? 😂
- It's a life bonus to have a very understanding partner who supports your life and career endeavours. So, when you've found the one, never let him/her go. 💯👍🏻😊
- Lying will do you no good. Even if the intention is good, it will not justify the deception. Aminin mo na lang yung totoo, bes. 🤦🏻♀️😂
- Family time is very important. Make sure to spend time with your loved ones even with your busy schedules.
One day, you'll wake up and realize that your kids have grown and your parents have aged and you can't do anything about it. You can't make up for lost time. Hehehe! Sounds cliché but this really matters. Make time and collect memories. 💜😊💯
The Gist:
Entourage is a korean adaptation of an american series with the same title. It depicts the story of a young man named Cha Young Bin (played by Seo Kang Joon) and his friends as members of the entertainment industry.
The series shows both the struggles and the perks media personnel experience.
Cha Young Bin, played by Seo Kang Joon, is the lead character in the series. He is a new artist in the industry - gaining fame because of his good looks.
To his friends, he is the generous one. He supports his 3 friends who live with him and don't mind being the bread winner in the group.
To his agency, he is a treasure - mainly because he is an actor on the rise. Plus, Kim Eun Gab (co-CEO of Ok and Gab Ent.) really believes in him - hence, his diva attitude.
However, problems began to surface when he refuses certain projects to do one series with the girl he likes (played by Ahn So Hee). They make sure he gets the role...
SPOILER ALERT!!
But he ends up not doing it because he and the girl broke up. A lot of things happened in between - that led to so many conflicts inside his group and with the company.
The in-between things are for you to find out. 😅 So, watch at your own risk! 😂
Kim Eun Gab, played by Cho Jin Woong, is Cha Young Bin's agency's CEO. He was the one who discovered Cha Young Bin and turned him into a rising star. He is well connected and famous in the industry - primarily because he is very ill-tempered. 😂🤣
Cha Joon, played by Lee Kwang Soo, is Cha Young Bin's cousin. He is a member of an old idol group who was dissolved before they rose to fame.
In the series, he is shown as the old geezer who is still trying to make ends meet in his career. He is the living definition of STRUGGLE - as he is really struggling to get his big break in the industry.
Lee Ho Jin, played by Park Jung Min, is Cha Young Bin's manager and childhood best friend. He actually wanted to become a writer, but his career took a turn when Cha Young Bin entered showbiz.
He is somewhat like a push over. He always gets scolded by Kim Eun Gab for not being able to control Cha Young Bin. But everything changed when he met Suh Ji An. 😜😊
Turtle, played by Lee Dong Hwi, is like the baby of the group. He is happy-go-lucky. He could care less about what people think of him.
He spends the most time with Cha Joon. He actually became Cha Joon's manager but ended up quitting since...he 's just not ready for that type of commitment. 😂
What I liked about the series:
- SEO KANG JOON! 💜 Seriously, who wouldn't appreciate this guy's visuals? Cutiiiieeee. 😍
- The OST is nice. Listening to it makes you feel free-spirited and RICH! HAHAHAHAHA! 🎶✔️
- Their friendship is one we could all wish we have. #SanaAll
- The series is funny - at times. 😅 The comical content is there - it's just not present all the time. 😜
Cons:
- I totally get why this series flopped: IT LACKS CONTENT. 😭
For the first time since the release of Princess Hours, a 16-episode kdrama took me almost 2 weeks to finish. It's like you're just there watching the same thing over and over again in every episode. It's sad, really. 😥🤐🥴
- It's "trying hard" to be interesting. There are a lot of things going on but many issues and perosnalities were hanging - you just don't get their existence. 🤷🏻♀️
Conflicts were shallow and it lacks all the necessary back stories. Personal opinion, friends. 🤷🏻♀️
Do not be deceived by the trailer. Hahahaha! It looks interesting from there. 🤪😳😅
- Character build up was not there at all. The issues of the characters were all over the place. 🙅🏻♀️
I think they shortened the series too much that it lost the vital parts (or so I think - I have not watched the original series).
Soundtrack:
Entourage OST (Compilation)
I personally like Mixtapes 4 and 5. ✔️🎶💜👍🏻😊
My recommendation? Let's not talk about it. Hahahaha!
After watching this, it felt like I wasted time. Hahahaha! But, it's still your choice. We could have different opinions. 😅
