Close-up portrait of a young man.

Much is written about how young actor Song Kang is in, like, every other drama which feels like it but fellow young actor Ahn Hyo Seob is also ridiculously on a busy roll recently. He’s opposite Kim Yoo Jung in the currently airing drama Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi), has started filming upcoming office romance drama Office … Continue reading →

Lovers of the Red Sky Episode 6 Crosses 10% Ratings as Chun Gi Takes a Step Forward as a Painter and a Step Back in Her Childhood Love Reunion

Lovers of the Red Sky isn’t a great sageuk (so far) by any measure of a drama but it does two things exceptionally well – keep the narrative fast paced and interesting and the elements tightly meshed together. There is a coherence to this drama and that threads are all interconnected. Episode 6 got 10.2% ratings so a new high … Continue reading →

Lovers of the Red Sky Continues to be Lyrical Sageuk Drama Crack as Episode 5 Stays Solid at 9.7% Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 13, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 13, 2021
Historical characters in traditional attire.

Oh god, how can this drama be soooooo addicting. Like, someone just found a recipe of Koala sageuk nip and bibimbap-ed it into Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) and I seriously am toast for every scene. Episode 5 was basically a one-scene episode so credits to the drama narrative for making the painting contest so fascinating, beautiful, … Continue reading →

Ahn Hyo Seob Gets Closer to Kim Yoo Jung as She Advances Painting Aspirations in New Stills for Episode 5 of Lovers of the Red Sky

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 12, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 12, 2021
Historical characters in traditional attire.

There is so much disparate threads going on in Lovers of the Red Sky and so far it’s managed to not cross streams in messing any up. The central romance, with it’s fate and she’s got his eyes and holds to key to containing the demon spirit in him, is progressing nicely on a human level. I love that they … Continue reading →

I’ve totally been revived after the lackluster summer 2021 with a sense of excitement headed into the last quarter of the year. The September 2021 start to the Good Data rankings are out and it’s a bunch of new names and new dramas so those bored from the summer can see what’s hot and buzzy in South Korea. For the … Continue reading →

Gosh, this drama is totally the MOOD for me. Like, I’m enchanted by the whole shebang and after I watch it I’m in a good mood. Can’t ask for anything more, so thank you Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) for bringing back the romance sageuk goodness. Because it’s anchored by a latent fantasy element as the Big … Continue reading →

Lovers of the Red Sky Rises to 8.8% Rating in Episode 2 as the Story Transitions to Classic Sageuk with a Jolt of Fantasy in the Beating Heart

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 5, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 4, 2021
Intimate moment between two historical figures.

I love when the majority of viewers, it appears, seem to enjoy the drama, and even better with a great sense of humor. The general consensus is that Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) is an entertaining watch so far, the first episode was solely fantasy but now the second episode has transitioned to more traditional sageuk beats … Continue reading →

SBS Romance Sageuk Lovers of the Red Sky Premieres with 6.6% Ratings and Audience Surprise to Strong Fantasy Element with Tons of CGI

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2021 by ockoalaAugust 31, 2021
Scenes from a fantasy drama series.

Talk about burying the lede, SBS. Perhaps the delay in starting promotions for sageuk drama Lovers of the Red Sky (Red Sky) is because the network couldn’t figure out which element to lead with. It decided on the female painter empowerment aspect and then the comedic meet-cute fated OTP piece. It totally missed the giant elephant in the room that … Continue reading →

Okay, I totally love the character posters for upcoming sageuk Red Sky (Lovers of the Red Sky or Hong Chun Gi) but probably not for the reason SBS wants me to. I don’t think its any good or visually all that appealing but holy is it great for dissection. It’s like the drama can’t figure put what genre or vibe … Continue reading →

Third Preview for SBS Sageuk Red Sky Introduces the Likely Love Triangle Between Ahn Hyo Seob, Kim Yoo Jung, and Gong Myung

Romantic scene in traditional Korean attire.

Ah, I totally see the interpersonal set up of the core three leads in SBS sageuk Red Sky (Lovers of the Red Sky or Hong Chun Gi) just like in The Moon Embraces the Sun. Male lead Ahn Hyo Seob is the stickler upstanding male lead, Kim Yoo Jung is the charming girl every guy would fall for, and Gong … Continue reading →

Blossoming branch with pastel background and butterfly.

I’m taking a wait and see approach for upcoming SBS sageuk romance Red Sky (Lovers of the Red Sky or Hong Chun Gi), there isn’t much value in conjecture on quality or back stage shenanigans so I’ll keep opining on the promos slowly trickling out. There is a new sneak peek at the two leads Kim Yoo Jung and Ahn … Continue reading →

In entertainment products it’s a HUGE deal where one’s name is listed in the cast list. I’ve heard it built into the contract and stars throwing hissy fits over it. For K-dramas it’s usually a non issue as even the stars know where the pecking order is thanks to veteran seniority and general politeness. That’s why it’s weird to see … Continue reading →
