Shin Hye Sun Readies for Another Go-around in Poster and Stills for tvN Drama See You in My 19th Life

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 15, 2023 by ockoalaMay 14, 2023
Romantic moments between two people outdoors.

I think fantasy always sounds interesting on paper but the execution has been spotting in K-dramas. The Beauty Within was amazingly heartfelt but Doom at Your Service fell completely flat, just naming two from the opposite ends of the spectrum. tvN upcoming drama See You in My 19th Life takes the premise of a woman who remembers all her past … Continue reading →

Netflix Premieres Sci-fi K-drama Black Knight to Mixed Reviews But #2 Worldwide in Streaming the First Weekend

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 14, 2023 by ockoalaMay 14, 2023
Four characters from "Black Knight" series.

I feel like K-dramas on Neflix has established legitimacy after the worldwide phenomenon of Squid Game two years ago plus the dearth of new streaming fare that any new K-drama that premieres on the platform has a shot of getting curiosity views the first weekend. Whether the viewers stay or more come on will depend on actual quality and recently … Continue reading →

Wang Yibo’s Trip to LA for the Chanel Show Spawns Second Controversy After He Posts SNS Pic in Front of the Hollywood Sign Using iPhone But He’s the Official Redmi Phone Spokesperson

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 14, 2023 by ockoalaMay 13, 2023
Person taking a photo with Hollywood sign backdrop.

It’s pretty absurd at this point that having been in LA for all of two days that C-actor Wang Yibo manages to generate not one but two controversies already. I don’t think this is an actual controversy in that the brand itself is mad but more like yet another sign that Wang Yibo needs better handlers or at least pause … Continue reading →

Some agencies wax and wane in strength but Lee Byung Hun‘s own agency BH Entertainment since it’s launch has been a powerhouse.

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 11, 2023 by ockoalaMay 10, 2023
Romantic film poster featuring two couples.

I thought I could watch my fave bae boy Wu Lei read from a phone book so either his recent C-drama Nothing But You was worse than that so my limit is not as low as I thought lol.

Cast portraits from a Korean drama series.

I was just writing about weekend jTBC drama Doctor Cha which has broken 13% ratings and is a massive hit for the cable network with many more episodes left.

An underdog has just come out of nowhere and became the next big K-drama hit and I’m just noticing this phenom lol. jTBC weekend drama Doctor Cha premiered three weeks ago and has only rocketed up in ratings.

Four characters in historical costumes.

So we just started the month of May in 2023 so the initial discussion last year that Arthdal Chronicles 2 will air in the first part of 2023 is clearly not happening. But whether it will be ready for a premiere later this year or end up a 2024 drama is still unclear. What’s clear is that the drama wrapping … Continue reading →

The behind the scenes voting information is out for this year’s 2023 Baeksang Awards and it’s cool to learn the thought process.
