A Koala's Playground Posted on April 20, 2022 by ockoalaApril 20, 2022
Two individuals posing for portraits side by side.

Squeeeeee, a same gen idol-actor combo that sounds so perfect paired up now! K-ent is reporting that Junho and Yoona are cast in a rom-com K-drama together, probably one of those SM-JYP stan pairings from a decade ago but who cares that’s its taken this long to happen as long as it’s happening. He’s in 2PM and she’s of course … Continue reading →

Smiling person giving thumbs up gesture.

Well, why am I not surprised that if someone wants to throw more money at Arthdal Chronicles then it will indeed get made. The second season of the period drama, always expected in terms of narratively as the drama ended on a major cliffhanger and barely seemed to scratch the surface of the story, will be coming in 2023 and … Continue reading →

Im Soo Hyang is the Innocent Accidentally Carrying Playboy Sung Hoon’s Baby in First Stills and Teaser for SBS Drama Woori the Virgin

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 19, 2022 by ockoalaApril 19, 2022
Three images of a woman with different expressions.

I think the production went out of its way to not have the word virgin in the title as the Korean title for the Jane the Virgin remake is called From Today We Are but the English title is now mirroring the original called Woori the Virgin. Im Soo Hyang is the titular Woori who is of course still a … Continue reading →

Disney+ Schedules Mature Themed K-drama Kiss Sixth Sense with Yoon Kye Sang and Seo Ji Hye for May 25th Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 19, 2022 by ockoalaApril 19, 2022
Couple facing each other at sunset.

There has been so much talk recently about how haphazard Disney+ has been with its promos of K-dramas and with the quality of its offerings but I’m good with fail and try try again mentality so up next for the Mouse is a different theme and age range. The K-drama Kiss Sixth Sense is scheduled for a May 25th release … Continue reading →

The return of K-actor Kim Sun Ho to his entertaining acting career is not a question of if but when, and it appears the first steps are being taken.

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2022 by ockoalaApril 18, 2022
Smiling person giving thumbs up gesture.

Oh noes, get well soon Lee Jun Ki! His agency announced this week that he tested positive for COVID-19 and will be in quarantine until he’s recovered. Filming for his currently airing second chance drama Again My Life will be halted since he’s the male lead and basically in most of the scenes.

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 17, 2022 by ockoalaApril 17, 2022
Group of people in formal attire walking.

This is like taking a nap while it’s sunny out and waking up to thunder and lightning a mere hour later. MBC Fri-Thurs drama Tomorrow, based on the same name webtoon about grim reapers rescuing suicidal people, premiered at a really promising 7.6% ratings in episode 1 but since then has fallen and then fallen some more. Episode 2 went … Continue reading →

New Teaser for Drama Link with Yeo Jin Gu and Moon Ga Young Showcase a Wide Gamut of Emotions and Situations

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2022 by ockoalaApril 17, 2022
Four characters expressing various emotions together.

This is looking like a case where I’m so clueless as to what to expect it makes me more curious, so kudos to Link: Eat Love Kill for piquing my interest by being so random. Another teaser is out for the K-drama starring Yeo Jin Gu and Moon Ga Young, where he plays a chef that starts to feel her … Continue reading →

The Female PD of The Red Sleeve Cuff Discusses Using the Female Gaze to Create a Different Sageuk and Wants to Try Out a BL Sageuk Next

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2022 by ockoalaApril 17, 2022
Two historical figures in traditional attire.

MBC PD Jung Ji In has been with the network for 10 plus years but her breakout with her most recent drama the sageuk The Red Sleeve Cuff has been so worthy of the praise and success. In a recent media discussion, she shared how she brought the female gaze to the drama which made it distinctly different than the … Continue reading →

Park Min Young Swaps Weather Forecaster Power Suits for Effortless Shirt and Jeans in Post Drama Pics

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2022 by ockoalaApril 15, 2022
Young woman in white shirt, posing elegantly.

There was nothing glaringly wrong about Park Min Young‘s last drama Forecasting Love and Weather which is best described as starting off beautifully and slowly petering into nothingness. Like a common weather pattern that once it passes it won’t be remembered. The writing was the weakest link but cast and director couldn’t add anything more either to buoy the effort, … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 15, 2022 by ockoalaApril 15, 2022
Couple sharing intimate moments in various settings.

In a blink of the eye there is now a fully complete 4-episode run of romance K-drama Soundtrack #1 to binge if you subscribe to Disney+. It’s either a lot of people don’t pay the Mouse for streaming or this drama isn’t that buzzy because it’s been pretty muted on the netizen commentary and feedback. Is it too slow burn, … Continue reading →

Lights and Shadows Play the Game of Palace Politics in New Posters and Stills for KBS Sageuk Bloody Heart

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 14, 2022 by ockoalaApril 14, 2022

I liked the original Korean title literally translated into English better – Red Single Heart can mean a lot of things but once you call it Bloody Heart it just means one thing, rocks falls down to come. New character posters and drama stills came out this week as we are just two weeks away from the May 2nd premiere … Continue reading →
