Kill Me Heal Me Releases Warm Inviting Drama Posters and Additional Interesting Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 3, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 3, 2015

Maybe I’m in a particularly easygoing mood lately, how else to explain why I’m crazy affectionate towards all the promos for Kill Me Heal Me. It’s got that combination of pretty and interesting without trying too hard. All signs pointed to this drama needing to reach high for it’s wild premise of a leading man with 7 different personalities, yet … Continue reading →

Hyde, Jekyll, Me Drops First Poster and Character Stills of the Charming Cast

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 2, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 2, 2015

The first drama and character posters are out for Hyde, Jekyll, Me right in time to start off the 2015 drama year on a positive note. It all looks good but not great, not that I was expecting great or even needing it to check out this drama. Hyun Bin really is enough to lure to me, and having him … Continue reading →

First Teaser for Blood is a Tall Drink of Twilight Homage Unintentional Hilarity

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 2, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 2, 2015

I haven’t been able to write anything substantive about the currently airing KBS Mon-Tues drama Healer since I’m traveling. I’m not just watching it, I’m totally loving it! That means I’m even more reluctant for the drama to end and Blood to arrive, aside from finding everything about Blood’s casting to be cringeworthy. Male lead Ahn Jae Hyun looks like a … Continue reading →

Jaejoong Looking More Model than Spy in Latest Pretty Teaser Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2015

My gut feeling is that Jaejoong is one of those idol-actors who will always need to overcome his too pretty exterior and ignominious start to acting. Much like Eric is forever being called an idol-actor despite being a critically lauded seasoned actor for over ten years now. Jaejoong has a looooong ways to go before approaching Eric level transition but … Continue reading →

Hyun Bin and Han Ji Min Shine in First Teasers for Rom-com Hyde, Jeykll, Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2015

The two multiple personality K-dramas going head-to-head to start off 2015 won’t be premiering at the same time. Kill Me Heal Me will arrive on MBC on January 7th while SBS airs Hyde, Jekyll, Me (official drama title) two weeks later on January 21st. Leaving the gate earlier doesn’t guarantee KMHM ratings success, but if it does hook the audience … Continue reading →

Ji Sung Continues to Impress in Second Intense Preview for Kill Me Heal Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2014

It feels like the production of Kill Me Heal Me hit rock bottom when Lee Seung Gi and Lim Ji Yeon pulled out at the last minute, and since then everything has been on the up and up. It’s still a long shot to work, what with the story involving a male lead with 7 different personalities and his romance … Continue reading →

Ji Sung Runs Through Guyliner in Latest Stills from Kill Me Heal Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 29, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 29, 2014

MBC must’ve sent the costume coordinator for Kill Me Heal Me out to buy an entire shopping basket full of eyeliner. At the rate that Ji Sung is going through it to whenever the leader of Cha Do Hyun’s six other personalities comes out to play, that might not even be enough. All of Do Hyun’s other personalities have names … Continue reading →

Kill Me Heal Me Keeps on Dropping Promising Character Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 28, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 28, 2014

I have to give Kill Me Heal Me credit for fixing the leak on a sinking ship. Or perhaps MBC pulled some strings to get leads Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum onboard so late in the game to spice up the joint. The first stills are also unexpectedly decent, all in all this hot mess is looking like it … Continue reading →

Jaejoong’s Spy Releases First Curious Teaser and More Cast Character Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 27, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 27, 2014

The first teaser is out for the KBS Friday night drama Spy and it reminds me yet again not to believe I have a clue what a drama has in store by the concept and casting alone. The teaser has got a weird off-kilter old school superhero TV show vibe. It almost feels like the heroes and villains are marked … Continue reading →

First Official Still of Hyun Bin and Han Ji Min in Hyde, Jekyll, Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 26, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 2, 2015

For awhile it was looking like the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Hyde, Jekyll, Me would win the time slot competition over fellow multiple personality rival Kill Me Heal Me over on MBC. That drama was looking like a possible DOA what with not being able to lock down a main cast much less start filming. Winning by default isn’t bad but … Continue reading →

First Intriguing Teaser of Ji Sung and His 7 Personalities in Kill Me Heal Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 25, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 25, 2014

The beleaguered production of Kill Me Heal Me might actually be the storm before the calm, everything going wrong before it arrives only to have the end product actually turn out watchable. I don’t know but I like what I’m seeing. With leads Ji Sung, Hwang Jung Eum, Park Seo Joon, and Kim Yoo Ri, the drama released the first … Continue reading →

First Official Stills From Kill Me Heal Me Premiering Early January

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 24, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 24, 2014

With programming being preempted for year end awards shows and the like, it’s going to be hit-and-miss whether currently airing dramas will be aired on schedule. MBC‘s Wed-Thurs drama Mr. Back will be ending on schedule this week with the final episode dropping on Christmas. The follow up drama Kill Me Heal Me has calmed down considerably since the crazy … Continue reading →

Original Screenwriter of In Time With You Picks Her Ideal Korean Leads for the Remake

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 23, 2014

I’ve always found famed Taiwan screenwriter Mag Hsu an intelligent and thoughtful scribe. Her most famous drama is likely In Time With You, but over the years she’s written many well-received works such as Mars, Silence, An Innocent Mistake, and most recently Apple in Your Eye. With news that her In Time With You was going to be remade into … Continue reading →
