Couple lying on pillows, playful expression.

Love (or lust, or a combination of both) is in the waters of K-ent and I’m just waiting to see which other star couples get outed this week alone.

This drama casting news was a day late to join in the circus atmosphere from yesterday’s information dump, but maybe KBS was saving the potential best for last? The upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Masked Prosecutor, following after the currently airing ratings leader Unkind Women, has pulled back the curtains to reveal both leads in consideration for drama and to say … Continue reading →

Hyde, Jekyll, Me Episode 19 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 25, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 25, 2015
Couple enjoying time together in a cozy setting.

In a drama where a rampaging gorilla makes an appearance in episode 1, which this drama will never be able to live down, it probably isn’t that much of a shocker to see a woman propose marriage to an alternate personality. Whether it’s legal, pretend, or just to assuage Robin’s departing woes, Hyde, Jekyll, Me manages to up the crazy antics … Continue reading →

This Wednesday is going to go down as one of the wildest K-drama casting news bonanzas in a long time. It was just missing an out-of-the-blue shocker to cap the crazy, like Won Bin was doing a drama with Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho was the baddie or something like that.

Written and Video Preview for Episode 19 of Hyde, Jekyll, Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 25, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2015
Man sitting casually in a floral coat.

I’m so ready to say goodbye to Hyde, Jekyll, Me, but totally not ready to say goodbye to seeing Hyun Bin on the small screen. That’s the same feeling that leads me to love Seo Jin but feel nothing for Robin, so I guess it’s fitting what with this drama being all about a man suffering from DID. Episode 19 … Continue reading →

I’ll believe this latest drama casting news when the actual dramas airs and not a moment before that. With that said, all the news portals are reporting this casting as confirmed so let’s go with that for the time being.

Drama casting is on a roll today so I might as well soldier on. Let’s go a bit older and a whole lot sexier when it comes to this latest drama coupling.

This casting news makes me laugh in both anticipation of the pretty and lulz factor in equal measure. MBC‘s upcoming vampire fantasy sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night has offered the second male lead role to Changmin of DBSK. The original DBSK-5 is arguably one of the most talented and bestselling K-pop boybands of all time, but they have always … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 24, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2015

Looks like The Girl Who Sees Smells will be piling on the sibling cuteness before ripping our hearts out. Since the drama has made it very clear from all plot and character synopsis that male lead Yoochun‘s character loses his little sister to a serial killer attack at the beginning of the drama, leading to his character being unable to … Continue reading →

The wait is starting to feel interminable for the arrival of Let’s Eat 2. This is one drama where I love the cast and love the story concept equally. Yoon Doo Joon reprises his character from the original Let’s Eat and moves to another city to embark on another foodie adventure with like-minded and less food obsessed folks.

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 23, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 23, 2015
Two young women smiling at events.

Erm, is anyone else worried that Who Are You: School 2015 having casting troubles may portend bigger problems behind the scenes, beyond the general casting roulette that goes on with almost every single drama production whether the public hears about it or not. While recent hard-to-cast DID drama Kill Me Heal Me proved that nothing was wrong with the script, … Continue reading →
