Jang Hyuk and Park So Dam Lead the Cast of Beautiful Mind at the Well-deserved Drama Wrap Party

I’m so pleased to do a blog post on the drama wrap party for KBS Mon-Tues medical drama Beautiful Mind. It was as lowly rated as it gets for a prime time drama, with ratings averaging in the 4% range, and ended up with the most ignominious and egregious treatment of all by its very own network with an episode cut. … Continue reading →

Official Poster for Beautiful Mind Captures the Emotional Connections of Hope and Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 10, 2016 by ockoalaJune 10, 2016
Two characters from "Beautiful Mind" drama.

It’s worth a reminder that upcoming K-drama Beautiful Mind had a long and arduous journey to becoming a reality, because I’m loving all the promos so far but don’t want to be too optimistic and discount the early warning signs. This drama was formerly Dr. Frankenstein, the multiple personality drama that courted Kim Soo Hyun in late 2016 and last … Continue reading →

K-ent is calling it the battle of the doctors for Mon-Tues night ratings supremacy but the substance and tone are so different I can’t see it appealing to the same group of viewers. SBS premieres Doctors on June 20th after Daebak (Jackpot) while on the same day KBS brings out Beautiful Mind to take over for Neighborhood Hero Jo Deul Ho. I’m … Continue reading →

KBS can finally start rolling on upcoming Mon-Tues medical mystery drama Beautiful Mind (formerly known as Dr. Frankenstein) now that it has a leading man confirmed. Jang Hyuk is inked for the role of the brilliant but cold physician who undergoes an emotional awakening in a drama that has been in the works for nearly two years. It follows after currently … Continue reading →

Rising Movie Actress Park So Dam in Talks to Join Jang Hyuk for KBS Medical Drama Beautiful Mind

Oh man, this is one K-drama that that’s doing a 180 going from casting purgatory hot mess unable to land a male lead to gathering an amazingly talented group together in the end. The Mon-Tues ratings race got shook up in this third week of airing, with KBS‘s Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul Ho taking the lead followed by Monster on … Continue reading →

Competing Neuro-medical Dramas: Beautiful Mind with Jang Hyuk and Lee Hee Joon Up Against Doctors with Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won

Casting matters a big deal not just in assembling certain audience favorites onscreen, but it also makes a big difference in setting the mood for the drama or movie. For example, the exact same storyboard may suddenly look different if idols are cast as leads versus critically lauded acting talent. KBS is still trying to get medical drama Beautiful Mind off … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Offered Male Lead in KBS Drama Beautiful Mind, Formerly Dr. Frankenstein

I totally forgot about this in development drama, and mostly thought it went to die an ignominious death at the grave where dramas that never get off the ground commit seppuku. Turns out KBS has retained multiple personality medical drama Dr. Frankenstein in its back pocket this whole time and is now ready to revive the whole thing with a fresh coat … Continue reading →
