A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m in K-drama heaven right now with two weekend dramas capturing all my attention so I’m not as anxiously awaiting the upcoming releases. The first 2020 new K-drama arrives next Monday on January 6th, the second season of SBS medical hit Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim 2.

First Stills of Han Suk Kyu, Lee Sung Kyung, and Ahn Hyo Seob in SBS Medical Drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Han Suk Kyu doesn’t look either either a doctor or a teacher in his first stills for SBS medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2, more like he’s auditioning for the fisherman killer in I Know What You Did Last Summer lol. It was a fairly routine type of blah year for the network in 2019 in terms of ratings … Continue reading →

Script Reading for SBS Drama Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 2 with Han Suk Kyu, Lee Sung Kyung, and Ahn Hyo Seob

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The doctor + teacher is bad in the house, or hospital, as filming as kicked off for season 2 of Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim. The first one with Han Suk Kyu, Yoo Yeon Suk, and Seo Hyun Jin got good ratings so it’s reasonable SBS would bank on the same formula for a second go-around. It works because only Han … Continue reading →

Ahn Hyo Seob and Jeon So Ni from Encounter in Talks for Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

There’s two young names being added to the upcoming season 2 of hit medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim. I figure the younger leads Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok don’t feel the need to come back understandably, so in their place the drama is going to cast Ahn Hyo Seob and rookie Jeon So Ni. Of course the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

This weekend comes another K-drama I’m super looking forward to as tvN premieres the looks-swapping drama Abyss. Starring Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob, the two cuties alternatively go from fab to flab or the other way due to an untimely death and a timely glowing orb resurrection. Park Bo Young’s prior self is played by leggy goddess Kim … Continue reading →

Mysterious Abyss in tvN Drama Transforms Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob in Contrasting Ways

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I envisioned an actual physical Abyss that would transform the visuals of the two leads in the upcoming tvN fantasy K-drama. Who figured it would instead be the Eye of Sauron in crystal ball form, contained easily in a wooden box. Man those humans, elves, and hobbits had it hard back then. The first teasers are out for Abyss and … Continue reading →

Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob Pose With Prior Self Chalk Outlines in First Poster for Abyss

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The first poster is out for fantasy K-drama Abyss, doing a physical transformation swap concept where the leads turn into the exact opposite forms of their prior selves. The poster creatively juxtaposes the transformation by putting Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob against the chalk outlines of their former selves. She’s shrunk in height and curves from statuesque beauty, … Continue reading →

First Look at Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob in tvN Image Swapping Drama Abyss

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I had a momentary pause in trying to describe the central fantasy premise of upcoming jTBC drama Abyss. It’s neither soul-nor-body swapping because leads Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob merely turn into different looking versions of themselves, I think? She’s a knock out beautiful prosecutor played by Kim Sa Rang in a guest role who transforms into mousy … Continue reading →
