A Koala's Playground Posted on February 19, 2024 by ockoalaFebruary 19, 2024
Scenes from a suspenseful drama series.

I don’t think there is anything bad about this and does bode well for the nimbleness of the production in changing up the format.

Starring Cha Seung Won, Kim Sun Ho, and Kim Kang … Continue reading →

So I could totally swear that K-actor Na In Woo was done with his military service already, I guess I thought he was in his 30s and older then he really is.

Characters reacting to a quirky food situation.

So I would never be interested in this K-drama but for the cast and director involved, I love every one of them SO MUCH.

I give Cha Eun Woo credit for taking on drama after drama and continuing to improve. His micro expressions and quite decent comedic timing in his most recent drama A Good Day to be a Dog reminded me yet again that in the right role he’s quite pleasing and pleasant to watch onscreen.

So My Dearest ended the 2023 year strong for sageuks and now 2024 is off to a great start thanks to Knight Flower and also Captivating the King. The latter was more of a slow burn start and the ratings have only in the most recent episodes 9-10 nearly doubled from the premiere. The reviews are stellar for male lead … Continue reading →
