Various characters in a drama series.

This weekend saw the conclusion of SBS Fri-Sat night drama Taxi Driver (Deluxe Taxi), which was more than just a placeholder between seasons of Penthouse.

Welp, get ready for a wild and slinging comments section lol. With the news that Song Joong Ki will be the male lead of the K-drama adaptation of revenge novel The Youngest Son of Sunyoung (Korean title is The Chaebol’s Youngest Son), of course all eyes are on who will be the female lead. The novel has actually very little … Continue reading →

Jang Ki Yong and Hyeri are Opposites Attract in Lowkey Adorable Fantasy Rom-com My Roommate is a Gumiho

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 28, 2021 by ockoalaMay 27, 2021
Couple posing in a kitchen setting.

I’ll preface this by saying that newly arrived tvN Wed-Thurs romance fantasy drama My Roommate is a Gumiho is not a quality drama in any respect. Not writing, directing, or acting, and yet it’s my newest drama crack. Like, I love it! It’s so flimsy, low-budget, and ridiculously watchable. The first episode actually got high premiere ratings of 5.282% but … Continue reading →

Ji Hyun Woo and Rookie Leading Lady Park Se Hee to Headline Next KBS Weekend Drama Gentleman and Young Lady

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 28, 2021 by ockoalaMay 27, 2021
Man playing guitar alongside smiling woman.

I’ve heard mixed things about KBS weekend drama Revolutionary Sisters so much that my love for Kim Young Nam is still not enough to venture into it (yet). Something about highly unpleasant personalities for the three female leads which sometimes is done on purpose to then later show growth. The network has assembled the leads for the next weekend drama … Continue reading →

A classic style sageuk is headed our way with the big budget Red Single Heart airing on KBS in the first half of 2022 and the casting is just phenomenal. Jang Hyuk and Lee Joon are the two male leads in a fierce political struggle for control of Joseon Korea. It’s a fictional story so it’s not a historical real … Continue reading →

Two people sitting together looking at each other.

I don’t know why I’m lowkey super excited for the next tvN Wed-Thurs drama My Roommate is a Gumiho. By all accounts expectations should be low but Mouse really wore me out and a silly fun rom-com can totally refill the drama meter.
