The Leads of High Society Continue to Bring the Pretty Youthful Energy in Latest Preview and Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

This probably doesn’t bode well on the quality predictor scale that I’m this excited about upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama High Society (formerly Chaebol’s Daughter and briefly flirted with being called True Romance). And then I realize that plenty of dramas I’ve loved have been less than stellar fare but simply delivered a stirring romance. With that fallback option available, I can … Continue reading →

Park Min Young is Gorgeous in Period Costume for C-drama Braveness of the Ming

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m tempted to ask for a re-do on the upcoming period C-drama God of War Zhao Zhi Long, or at least a re-do on Yoona‘s portion only so that she can get her drama look transformed into something suitable to highlight her lanky modern beauty. It’s distressing that the production turned her into a washed out servant girl look, a … Continue reading →

It’s going to be awhile longer until currently filming TW-drama Marry Me, or Not hits the airwaves.

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m not gonna lie or ignore the fact that the last few episodes of TW-drama Someone Like You has basically devolved into a narrative farce. There is heart failure, car accidents, and even multiple comas. But the strange thing is that my affection for this little drama that could remains intact, it’s so earnest and sweet, wanting to keep chugging … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

A round of applause please, as the production of upcoming SBS weekend drama The Time I Loved You, 7000 Days just went from imminent disaster to unbelievably farcical.

Han Groo has had her name associated with a number of K-drama castings already this year, from Scholar Who Walks the Night to High Society to Answer Me 1988, but she still doesn’t have a drama comeback lined up as those all fell through for whatever reason. She could have avoided the bullet if all those dramas turn out to be … Continue reading →
