The final three episode brought in ratings of 7.089%, 6.618%, and 8.937%, building steadily and maintaining the momentum from a successful premiere episode ratings just over 5%.

The time really zipped by these last few weeks and now tvN new Sat-Sun drama Lawless Lawyer is premiering this weekend. Starring Lee Jun Ki, Seo Ye Ji, Choi Min Soo, and Lee Hye Young, the fierce ferociousness is off the charts with this impressive cast. I watched the long 4-minute preview released at the press conference and this drama … Continue reading →

Arresting Drama Poster and New BTS for Lawless Lawyer Juxtaposes Intensity and Lighthearteness

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 2, 2018 by ockoalaMay 1, 2018
Drama featuring four intense legal characters.

I wasn’t expecting anything other than perfunctory drama posters for upcoming tvN legal thriller Lawless Lawyer so consider me happily spoiled that the first official poster is so awesome! Or more specifically, male lead Lee Jun Ki is so awesome in it, singlehandedly elevating the standard dark background everyone standing around K-drama poster for the thriller genre into something that … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Seo Ye Ji are Both Rough and Tumble Lawless Lawyers in New Drama Promos

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 20, 2018 by ockoalaApril 20, 2018

I can’t wait for Lawless Lawyer, it’s criminal how awesome this drama looks and each promo makes me salivate for more. It’s a smart gimmick to combine two popular genres, the gangster story and the legal thriller, and frankly this is very homespun that only K-dramas can pull off. The latest promo shows that the lawless lawyer title belongs not … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Seo Ye Ji Lead Script Reading for tvN Sat-Sun Drama Lawless Lawyer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 27, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 26, 2018
Cast members engaged in a script reading.

A great cast still needs at least a solid script and poor Lee Jun Ki has been foiled by successive bad writing for many dramas now. I’m optimistic for his upcoming tvN drama Lawless Lawyer by the screenwriter of Remember who also wrote the movie Confidential Assignment and was one of three writers in the movie The Attorney. Lawless Lawyer … Continue reading →

Veterans Choi Min Soo and Lee Hye Young Join Lee Jun Ki in tvN Drama Lawless Lawyer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 18, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 18, 2018
Black and white portraits of two individuals.

It’s now statistically proven that legal/procedural and medical themed dramas have dominated the last five years of subject matter on Korean shows. Many still bring in the views as Misty and Return are both leading the pack of currently airing dramas. I’m mostly tuned out now when it comes to these two genre dramas unless the cast hits my sweet spot … Continue reading →

International Viewers Upset Over Depiction of Middle Eastern Culture and Muslim Faith in MBC Drama The Man Who Dies to Live

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 21, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 21, 2017
Four characters posing at a beach setting.

Holy epic fail on the part of MBC with it’s latest Wed-Thurs offering The Man Who Dies to Live, a drama I wasn’t even planning on watching until the uproar over the first two episodes elevated interest. Now I still don’t want to watch it but for a different reason, the reason behind so much anger and offense taken by … Continue reading →

Drama Posters and New Preview for Jackpot Ramp Up the Battle for the Joseon Throne

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 22, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 22, 2016
Three characters in historical attire, examining artifacts.

A long and relatively successful run ended today for the SBS 50-episode sageuk Six Flying Dragons, the ratings leader in the Mon-Tues time slot but never high enough in ratings to bring back the days of yore when serious longs sageuks could average 20%. While Yoo Ah In and co is off getting much needed earned rest, up next is … Continue reading →

Full Set of Drama Posters for Jackpot Goes for Grey-hued Intensity

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 12, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 11, 2016
Historical drama poster featuring two characters.

I hope SBS drama Jackpot (Daebak) can continue the success of Six Flying Dragons but it’s not a sure bet since Jackpot will be up against contrasting competition with long drama Monster and legal drama Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul Ho. Also add Jang Geun Seok as the leading man when his popularity in Korea has decreased in recent years, but … Continue reading →

Intensity Galore in New Stills and Teaser for SBS Sageuk Jackpot

More daebak teasers from upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Jackpot and the intense eye stares has certainly shot through the roof. The production unveiled new drama stills of the veteran actors Choi Min Soo and Jeon Kwang Ryul, in a reunion from Warrior Baek Dong Soo, and both seem right at home in their roles. Choi Min Soo especially seems to … Continue reading →

Bromance and Intensity at the Script Reading for SBS Sageuk Jackpot

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 3, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 3, 2016
Two men smiling and embracing together.

The drama hasn’t even aired yet and already the bromance has brewed offscreen. That’s good since the two male leads will be direct antagonists in upcoming SBS sageuk Jackpot, better like each other during filming and then ratchet up the acting animosity when cameras roll. SBS kinda did the roll out a bit backwards with Jackpot, it dropped the first … Continue reading →

Daebak with Jang Geun Seok and Lim Ji Yeon Holds Script Reading and Starts Filming for Late March Premiere on SBS

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 4, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 4, 2016

It was a mere hop skip from casting to production for upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Daebak (Jackpot). The drama premieres at the end of March on the 28th so with less than two months to go it’s a good sign that the filming is nicely underway, especially being a sageuk drama that needs higher levels of prepping. The full cast … Continue reading →

Third Preview for Pride and Prejudice Ups the Interest Level Despite Lackluster Drama Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 22, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 21, 2014

I think the Korean drama Pride and Prejudice about a bunch of prosecutors fighting crime is turning out alright based on the previews and stills. It’s definitely not a romantic story about singles navigating the marriage mart but using the same famous novel title might not be that far of a stretch. I’m seeing the conflicting attitudes of pride and … Continue reading →
