Food, Music, and Tears Mix into the Beautiful Slow Burn that is jTBC Drama Chocolate with Ha Ji Won and Yoon Kye Sang

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 15, 2019 by ockoalaDecember 14, 2019
Romantic scene between two characters.

Apologies for the delayed post on jTBC drama Chocolate, a combination of my own impressions not yet fully formed until this week’s episodes 5-6 and also due to work travel. This is simply one sloooooooooow burn drama, and takes a long long time to really get going. Imagine a vintage vehicle that doesn’t show it’s incredible depth until you’ve left … Continue reading →

jTBC Melodrama Chocolate with Yoon Kye Sang and Ha Ji Won Premieres this Friday November 29th

Couple embracing near the seaside.

I’ve been waiting patiently for Chocolate much like a kid saves the best for last during a meal. The primary reason is screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee, she who always tugs at my tear ducts and heartstrings with the way she can craft true K-melo the old-fashioned way which frankly still satisfies when done right. Chocolate brings together Ha Ji Won … Continue reading →

I love Ha Ji Won and Yoon Kye Sang but I had a third reason to check out their upcoming jTBC melodrama Chocolate and that would be Jang Seung Jo. He’s made so many memorable and poignant supporting lead performances in the last two years and is showing his nuanced talent even in this just released character poster where so … Continue reading →

New Stills from jTBC Drama Chocolate Shows Multiple Sides of Chef Ha Ji Won

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 7, 2019 by ockoalaNovember 6, 2019
Chef carefully preparing food in kitchen.

Upcoming jTBC drama Chocolate feels surprisingly low key and low promo which is fine with me. All my favorite Lee Kyung Hee dramas were the ones that flew under the radar more than her highly anticipated ones. Her specialty is crafting a sadder than sad set up between the leads and milking their chemistry and angst for every tasty drop … Continue reading →

I’m just as excited about Yoon Kye Sang in jTBC melodrama Chocolate as I am about Ha Ji Won doing it, and being paired together was one of those early Hallyu pairings I wanted but sorta forgot about over the years. Better late than never and the whole mood for the drama totally reminds of me dark chocolate, the bitter … Continue reading →

Couple sitting by a serene riverside.

I normally associate chocolate with joy since it’s so darn tasty but this bon bon looks sad as heck in the first official poster and preview for jTBC drama Chocolate. Chef and baker Ha Ji Won falls in love with doctor Yoon Kye Sang against the picturesque backdrop of the countryside and plenty of food porn shots of chocolate infused … Continue reading →
