Man in suit looking thoughtfully ahead.

The scandal cycle is on the down parabola now for k-actor Kim Sun Ho.

K-netizens Dismayed at the New Character Posters for tvN Drama Melancholia Showing Im Soo Jung as Teacher and Lee Do Hyun as Student Staring at Each Other Intently

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 20, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 20, 2021

I understand that a story is a story and sometimes it’s taboo or uncomfortable. But in those instances the story doesn’t try to normalize or make it right, it’s narrating something as is. I don’t know which path upcoming tvN drama Melancholia will take, a story about a math teacher at a prestigious private school and her connection with a … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 20, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 20, 2021
Historical scene with traditional Korean attire.

This drama is estúpido, so so stupid now that I wonder where that bright, charming, creative, weird sageuk with potential went? Probably got contaminated by the addled brains of EVERY SINGLE MAJOR character, because that’s the only way to explain the sheer dumbass plot in the entirety of episodes 13-14 of Lovers of the Red Sky. Thank god next week … Continue reading →

This appears to be the wrap up portion of the Kim Sun Ho scandal, which has been a roller coaster three days worth of breaking allegations, silence, public speculation, fan denial, and now admittance. He has now admitted to the allegations posted by his ex-girlfriend and his agency is also in acceptance of his bad behavior. Right after the acknowledgement … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 19, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 19, 2021
Black and white portrait of two actors.

The promos for this drama reminds me of Memento. Everything starts from the end, or is the end the beginning and the it begins anew? I don’t know, but either way the breaking up part seems to be all SBS is leaning in on for the teasers and posters for upcoming romance drama Now, We are Breaking up. The two … Continue reading →

Smiling person making a peace sign.

A burgeoning scandal is like a fire. It can die on its own if it’s small and has no tinder (truth and/or coverage), but if it has legs behind it then the only way to stave off burning the house down is to fight it properly with water (i.e. a response and follow ups). The exploded within the past 24-hours … Continue reading →

It feels fast turning into a runaway train situation with the allegations by a young woman and that certain Actor K behaved rather abominably when he dated, got her pregnant, convinced her to get an abortion, and then dumped her, if the allegations are true of course. She did not name names but dropped enough hints that K-netizens and K-ent … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells Challenges Yumi to New Behaviors and Revives Old Dreams in Episodes 9-10 as the Relationship with Woong Balances Between Sweet and Precarious

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 17, 2021
Romantic moments between two characters.

When I watch Yumi’s Cells I enjoy nearly all of it, but when there are no new episodes I’m not anxiously waiting. I guess it mirrors Yumi’s overall mentality, she puts her all into her life (work, love) but with the things not there she’s not fretting about it. Episodes 9-10 were this past weekend and it wasn’t the relationship … Continue reading →
