Im Joo Hwan Joining Eric and Yoo In Na in K-drama The Spy Who Loved Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 18, 2020 by ockoalaJune 18, 2020
Person in a light suit smiling confidently.

I get a kick not from watching every K-drama Im Joo Hwan is in, despite really loving him as an actor, but from seeing what he does next because this man certainly jumps roles like a jack rabbit. In second leads alone he plays nice guy, clingy guy, weird guy, silent guy, and then super baddie guy, it’s like he’s … Continue reading →

MBC Mon-Tues Drama Dinner Mate with Song Seung Heon and Seo Ji Hye is a Satisfying Emotional Meal Midway Through Airing

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 17, 2020 by ockoalaJune 16, 2020
Four individuals in individual portraits.

It’s the midway point for K-drama Dinner Mate (Shall We Have Dinner Together) and I’ve been watching intently but haven’t felt the urge to write it about until now. That’s probably because each episode feels like a bite, or perhaps part of a meal, so without the entire meal yet it’s hard to formulate a thoughtful review. It’s the midway … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki Turns From Warm Dad to Sociopath in New Poster and Teaser for tvN Drama Flower of Evil

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 17, 2020 by ockoalaJune 18, 2020
Dramatic arm wrestling between two characters.

K-dramas are no stranger to the anti-hero but making an uber baddie the male lead is pretty rare. What I’m bracing myself for is actually having to hate Lee Jun Ki in upcoming Flower of Evil because he’s already giving off total sociopath vibes and that means he’s killing it in the acting department. His character had erased his evil/bad … Continue reading →

Four characters pose in a mystical setting.

Seeing the newest drama poster for It’s Okay to Not be Okay, a group one with all four leads Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Ye Ji, Oh Jung Se, and Park Kyu Young, the drama may not have a fantasy element but study above totally reminds me of IU‘s office in Hotel Del Luna.

Promotional poster for a sci-fi thriller series.

I’m looking forward to OCN drama Train more and more, a combination of wondering if another drama can do the parallel worlds concept better and because all the promos so far have been fantastic.

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 16, 2020 by ockoalaJune 15, 2020
Cast of a drama series around a dining table.

If tvN is the most mainstream of the cable networks, OCN has carved out procedurals/thrillers, Chosun TV has one hit a year with sageuks, then jTBC is the indie that’s riding the dark horse all the way to the deepest recesses of the human psyche. On the heels of two record breaking K-dramas with Sky Castle and The World of … Continue reading →

Actors engaging at a promotional event.

Okay, I may legit lowkey ship these two to do a romance K-drama now. I thought it was fine that Yoo Ah In and Park Shin Hye finally got to work together in upcoming zombie movie #Alive, knowing that it’s likely just them trying to survive solo and then later joining forces, with nary a romance line since who cares … Continue reading →
