Anime characters standing by a window.

As a dog mom and a lover of rom-coms I’m feeling more and more excited for upcoming KBS drama A Good Day to be a Dog.

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 29, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 29, 2023
Woman in white outfit performing on stage.

This feels like a full circle casting at the right time for K-actress Suzy. She’s long shed the idol-actress moniker as it’s been years since she was the idol side of things and in the most recent past year she got lots of praise and also awards for her acting in the K-drama Anna. So her taking on the role … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 28, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 28, 2023
Two people enjoying a golf cart ride.

It’s well known that K-actress Son Ye Jin loves to play golf but her beaming smile and radiating demeanor when playing golf on a variety show that aired this week is clearly not for the love of the sport. During the round she chit chatted a lot about her life now as a mom and wife, she got married last … Continue reading →

So the first love gets a second chance concept has been done umpteenth times in K-dramas and most recently had a really nuanced take with Our Beloved Summer.

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 27, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 27, 2023
Character in traditional attire with dynamic pose.

So the summer of 2023 was not nice to Yang Yang, going in with one of the most promoted C-dramas of the busy season and coming out with only complaints from viewers the Fireworks of My Heart. At least he’s been filming the upcoming xianxia C-drama A Record of a Mortal’s Guide to Immortality and perhaps can adjust his acting … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 26, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 26, 2023
Woman holding a seashell by the ocean.

It’s clear that K-actress Park Eun Bin is top of her age group class among actresses after Extraordinary Attorney Woo, for her next drama Castaway Diva I’ve rarely seen such a solo female-lead centric story and promos for anyone else in that same range. The drama is scheduled for October 2023 in the Sat-Sun time slow after Arthdal Chronicles 2: … Continue reading →

So idol turned actor Ro Woon is now going to be an actor full time and it’s only fitting that the news comes out when he’s pulling drama double duty.

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 24, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 24, 2023
Person wearing a stylish oversized coat.

I love a positive breakout story and the male lead of Moving definitely earned it. Young actor Lee Jung Ha went from just starting out his entertainment career with small parts in a few dramas to headlining the buzziest K-drama of 2023. To play bumbling sweet natured fly boy Kim Bong Seok, he put on 30 kgs of weight to … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 23, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 23, 2023
Beach scene with "SOS" written in rocks.

I swear that tvN drama Castaway Diva (Diva of the Deserted Island) was one of those still far away dramas but with the first teaser released this weekend it’s coming next month in October. That’s wild but not as wild as the premise that an island bumpkin girl gets lost on an even more deserted island for years and years … Continue reading →

Dramatic scenes from a suspenseful narrative.

So I always wondered what reclusive but insanely handsome and talented Won Bin‘s career could be like if he did one drama/movie a decade and just picked the best thing he came across that could tempt him. That is what Jo In Sung has done at least for his drama career and it’s a thing of beauty, every drama he … Continue reading →
