Manhole’s Episode 4 Drops to 2.0% and Enters Top Three Lowest Rated Prime Time Ratings of Last Two Decades

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 18, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 17, 2017
Four characters featured in stylish promotional posters.

If something doesn’t succeed then sucking so badly as to enter infamy may be a viable alternative to paddling in the middling center of mediocrity. Recently premiered Wed-Thurs KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feel or Feels So Good) is sliding into so bad it’s memorable for being that bad territory whether it was intentional or note, and frankly judging from the … Continue reading →

KBS Wed-Thurs Manhole Drops to 2.8% Ratings Lowest of All KBS Primetime Dramas in 2017

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 12, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 12, 2017
Collage of romantic scenes from a drama.

What a bummer for the cast and crew of newly arrived but likely DOA Wed-Thurs KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feel or Feels So Good). Episode 1 premiered with an anemic 3.1% AGB nationwide ratings but episode 2 managed to fall from even that low bar dropping to 2.8%. Ouch and kinda not a surprise, I figured this type of trendy … Continue reading →

Manhole Releases Colorful Character Posters and BTS Footage of Leads Filming the PPAP Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 31, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 30, 2017
Four characters featured in stylish promotional posters.

Even if KBS funky drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) turns out to be awful I will always remember enjoying the promos and always being taken off kilter in a good way. The individual posters are out featuring the lead foursome of Jaejoong, UEE, Jung Hye Sung, and Baro, with the unique casting coincidence of having three out … Continue reading →

KBS Drama Manhole Plays Up Weirdness with Tongue-in-Cheek Humor

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 28, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2017
Four people walking against a bright backdrop.

The more promos I see from upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) the more I think the production is as aware of the title puns as the English speaking audience and is just running with it. The whole thing is screwball and that works well to humanize Jaejoong who typically comes across as a too … Continue reading →

Jaejoong Encounters the Titular Manhole in New Drama Stills and Second Wacky Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 26, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 26, 2017
Man in suit emerging from the ground.

Whether KBS produces an actual good drama with Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good), it’s produces the most unintentional sniggers in recent memory with the English title alone and that’s a whole lotta good fun to be had. Now we get the first look at said manhole, a time-traveling one at that, and the man who will be time-traveling … Continue reading →

Four people standing in a city landscape.

There’s the case of seeing something out of context so it makes no sense until it gets placed in the bigger picture. Then there’s the case of seeing the bigger picture and still it befuddles with weirdness. Maybe that’s what the production of upcoming KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) is going for. I saw fan snapped … Continue reading →

Jaejoong and UEE Lead Script Reading for KBS Wed-Thurs Drama Manhole: Wonderland’s Feels

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 7, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 7, 2017
Four people making heart gestures together.

  I’ve seen my share of cringe-worthy English versions of K-drama titles due to the translation bloop of language terms but this one takes the punny cake. Upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Manhole: Wonderland’s Feels (or Manhole: Feels So Good) has got to undergo a title change, please KBS! I know tittering over manhole is so juvenile since it’s a perfectly … Continue reading →

Master of Noodles on KBS Secures Cast of Chun Jung Myung, Jo Jae Hyun, and Jung Yumi

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 12, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 11, 2016
Four individuals posing together at events.

So it looks like this noodle god drama really is happening, even if the storyboard sounds weird, the time slot potentially even weirder, and the production team the weirdest of all. KBS has cast upcoming Wed-Thurs Master: God of Noodles to headline Chun Jung Myung, Jo Jae Hyun, Jung Yumi and Lee Sang Yeob. But the drama is following Descendants … Continue reading →

Two people in formal attire smiling.

This is the cutest K-ent dating rumor ever, too bad it’s likely not true. Fans of currently airing MBC drama Angry Mom had a bit of fun waking up Friday morning to news that Kim Yoo Jung may be dating her costar Baro after the two were snapped attending a soccer game. Sadly the excitement about budding young love was … Continue reading →

Angry Mom Takes Control of the Classroom in New Drama Stills and Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 11, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 11, 2015
Three students in a classroom altercation.

Upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Angry Mom continues to look uber cute. I’m so glad I got over my Kim Hee Sun aversion so that I can actually look forward to this drama because the mom goes back to high school to protect her daughter concept is right up my alley. She’s still not an actress I would consider good at … Continue reading →
