A Koala's Playground Posted on November 18, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 19, 2023
Historical drama scenes with emotional characters.

If I were the crew of MBC drama My Dearest I wouldn’t want a wrap party I would want to sleep for 3 days straight and get paid due overtime for the crazy filming conditions. This weekend Saturday night is the airing of the final episode of My Dearest and from the SNS posts of the cast it was filming … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2023
Two people in a tense, emotional conversation.

I saw these new stills just after I finished watching The Marvels and it was exactly the eye bleach I needed to erase the image of Park Seo Joon as Prince Yan from my brain forever. Netflix released a batch of new drama stills for upcoming period creature feature series Gyeongseong Creature that sees Park Seo Joon and Han So … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 14, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2023
Actors making heart gesture together.

It must’ve been a lackluster year in romance and rom-com K-dramas because of the top three favorite drama couples only one came from that genre. It goes to Junho and Yoona in rom-com King the Land, which brought in buzz and ratings for the network and lots of the love for the leads even if the drama itself was just … Continue reading →

Oddly Low Budget Looking and Long Delayed Rom-com My Man is Cupid with Jang Dong Yoon and Nana Gets December 1 Release on Amazon Prime

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 14, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2023
2022 drama featuring three main characters.

Rom-coms are never big budgeted to begin with but when I saw the poster and first trailer for My Man is Cupid I just felt bad for the cast involved. This looks like a cast off project that leads Jang Dong Yoon, Nana, and Park Ki Woong picked up either to pay the bills or fill time on their open … Continue reading →

Dylan Wang’s Next Projects in Talks are All Insisting He be Dubbed Despite His Preference for Own Voice

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 14, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2023
Man wearing glasses in a formal outfit.

Ooooh, this is juicy and a true power struggle with stakes. I don’t think non-Chinese dialect speakers understand the genesis of the dub in C-dramas and even earlier with HK-dramas and TW-dramas. The issue is that the Chinese ethnic groups have so many dialects some of which are unintelligible to each other that a universal dialect is needed to at … Continue reading →

Couple laughing together under blooming flowers.

The first K-dramas to promulgate the Hallyu trend were the seasons dramas, namely Winter Sonata which was actually the second in the series with the first being Autumn in My Heart, then WS, followed by Summer Scent and then Spring Waltz. It was story secondary to the seasonal theme and backdrop but the visuals when combined properly with the right … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2023
Dark suspense poster for a Netflix series.

So Netflix is borrowing a page from the split airing of The Glory and airing Gyeongseong Creature in two parts but lucky for us viewers the two parts will only be two weeks apart rather than three months again. The first drama poster and teaser preview just dropped and it’s an actual creature feature, all pun aside I didn’t know … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 11, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 10, 2023
Romantic scenes between two historical characters.

The MBC weekend old school sageuk romance drama My Dearest has been worthy of its prestige roots and shining through the extraordinary acting of leads Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin. I’ve put this drama on my binge watch list due to being addicted to other dramas during both periods of its split run and now Part 2 is winding … Continue reading →

Three images of a stylish young man.

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 9, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 9, 2023
Person smiling and waving in casual outfit.

Okay where I can donate money to make this happen like RIGHT NOW. Because the pairing of Park Bo Young and Jung Hae In in a rom-com seems straight out of fan fiction that I’m not even creative enough to write but will forever thank the drama gods if it existed. She’s a rom-com queen in both dramas and movies … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 8, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 8, 2023
Four characters in a dramatic crime scene.

So the promos for Disney+ drama Vigilante is all on the shoulders of the cast other than male lead Nam Joo Hyuk, who has enlisted in the army earlier this year. Never fear though because it’s a packed cast with Yoo Ji Tae, Lee Joon Hyuk, and Kim So Jin, adapted from the same name webtoon and arriving as the … Continue reading →
