Hhhhmmm, not sure how I feel about it. K-ent is reporting that the screenwriter of mega hit small cable drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo has signed a deal with the same production company for a season 2. It’s with the production company so my first thought is that it may not end up airing on ENA and could go to a … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 8, 2023 by ockoalaJune 8, 2023
Cast portraits from a Korean drama series.

Congrats to the Bad Mom (The Good Bad Mother) and her complicated loving relationship with her son as the jTBC weekday drama ends with this Thursday’s episode 14. Most K-dramas are 16-episodes, some 20 and a few even 12-episodes but this is an odd length as I can recollect. Other than that the drama was a one way success train, … Continue reading →

Call me old or old-fashioned but sometimes the best stuff is the stuff that’s tried and true. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good classic Hallyu rom-com, the kind of love-hate with opposites attract and plenty of implausible coincidences. Upcoming K-drama King the Land is primed to hit that sweet spot and it seems to be leaning into that … Continue reading →

Two celebrities smiling and gesturing.

So I think the best way to approach this weird casting trio is to keep and open mind and a “surprise me!” approach.

She plays a successful newswoman who loses her young son and cannot deal with the perpetrator getting … Continue reading →

Kim So Hyun and Minhyun Lead the Script Reading for K-drama My Lovely Liar

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 5, 2023 by ockoalaJune 4, 2023
Actors reading scripts during a table read.

The upcoming tvN drama My Lovely Liar (Korean title Useless Lies) has already started releasing the first drama stills but earlier it released script reading stills that make me wonder what the drama is about because nearly ever star looks intense, perplexed, or slightly amused. It’s definitely not a rom-com lol. Leads Kim So Hyun and Minhyun give off what … Continue reading →

Two young adults posing for portraits.

Oh this sounds saucy and potentially too steamy for TV haha. TVING has announced the production of a sageuk romance drama titled Chunhwa Love Story (or Erotic Painting Love Story) starring Go Ah Sung and Chang Ryul.
