tvN Starts Promos for Medical K-drama Resident Playbook with Go Yoon Jung with Release of Poster and First Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 15, 2025 by ockoalaMarch 15, 2025
Four ID cards for gynecologists on a desk.

I think the safe best is to soft launch the promos of Resident Playbook and gauge the public appetite for a medical drama. It should be fine seeing as The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call was a big hit, but that drama was about ER type cases but this is more the slice-of-life of a med school student in residency … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 14, 2025 by ockoalaMarch 14, 2025

K-actor Kim Soo Hyun isn’t just a top star domestically in South Korea, he’s also a top Hallyu star around almost all of East Asia and Southeast Asia with so many popular K-dramas of his that exported over to those countries for airing.

So the public won’t need to wait until next week as today Kim Soo Hyun and his agency Gold Medalist released its official statement on the allegations Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron when she was still underage.

Hahahaha, OMG I’m dying at the ballsy and shameless response from Gold Medalist on behalf of Kim Soo Hyun.

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 12, 2025 by ockoalaMarch 12, 2025

I’ve covered so many wild fall from graces – drug use, prostitution, drunk driving, bullying, assault, tax evasion, and more – and cannot believe that the top drama actor from South Korea will also top the list for one of the grossest violations in pedophilia, i.e. romantically intimate with an underage person. I don’t know if those two actually had … Continue reading →

Well, unless Kim Soo Hyun and his agency Gold Medalist sues all the parties involved and gets a full retraction and apology, its hard to believe this was all made up and nothing happened with him and now deceased young actress Kim Sae Ron.

The casting for this K-drama has turned into one of the wildest (and most intriguing) in recent years and this final piece in the foursome of leads is the cherry on top.
