First Drama Poster and New Stills for tvN Rom-com Revolutionary Love with Choi Si Won and Kang Sora

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 29, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 30, 2017
Man and woman having a serious conversation outdoors.

With how hard Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) flopped recently on KBS Mon-Tues, there is a reasonable concern that similarly quirky rom-com feel upcoming tvN drama Revolutionary Love may be coming at a time without the audience for this type of drama fare. The two drama’s even have titles based on a pun of the male lead’s name, which of course … Continue reading →

First Teasers for She Was Pretty Splits the Main Cast into Comedic Couples

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 30, 2015
Two friends posing playfully for the camera.

Rounding the corner is the first big three network prime time rom-com in a good long while, with She Was Pretty taking over the Wed-Thurs slot on MBC from Scholar Who Walks the Night. I think MBC is currently on the same trend when it comes to drama teasers, as the two teasers for SWP remind me a lot of … Continue reading →

C-drama Billion Dollar Heirs Releases Hilarious and Self-deprecating Slappy First Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 29, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 29, 2015

China might have a new drama industry to mine – copying popular K-dramas and making a ridiculous parody out of it. There was the absurd but fun Heirs From Another Star, but even before that project got off the ground there was already Billion Dollar Heirs in the making. To be fair to producer Li Shao Hong, her heirs-centric drama synopsis … Continue reading →

C-drama Billion Dollar Inheritors Releases First Characters Looking Just Like K-Heirs

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2014 by ockoalaApril 18, 2014

Get ready to laugh until your belly aches. The first official character stills from the upcoming C-drama Billion Dollar Inheritors (亿万继承人) has just been released. This was the drama that made the news in the beginning of the year for being the C-remake of last year’s hit K-drama Heirs. Turns out it’s not a remake of Heirs as this particular … Continue reading →

C-Heirs with Choi Si Won and Yu Xiao Tong Starts Filming and is NOT a Remake of K-Heirs

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 5, 2014 by ockoalaFebruary 4, 2014

In a strange clarification by Chinese producer Li Shao Hong who has been getting lots of media attention for supposedly producing the Chinese drama version of the Korean hit drama Heirs, the drama started filming last week and it turns out NOT to be an adaptation of K-Heirs at all. Li Shao Hong finally put an end to the speculation … Continue reading →

King of Dramas Releases Teaser with a Park Shin Hye Cameo Appearance

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 28, 2012

I actually watched the teaser for King of Dramas, the upcoming SBS drama to follow Faith, earlier this week but just haven’t gotten around to posting about it until now. Starring Kim Myung Min, Jung Ryeo Won, Choi Si Won, and Oh Ji Eun, this is the only upcoming weekday drama that I’m totally looking forward to. Too bad it’s … Continue reading →

Latest Stills from King of Dramas with Kim Myung Min and Jung Ryeo Won

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 5, 2012

  My anticipation for King of Dramas with Kim Myung Min and Jung Ryeo Won is one of calm hopefulness. While neither the cast nor the story sends me into a tizzy, conversely nothing turns me off this drama in the slightest. Since I’m also not watching Faith, looking forward to KoD means that Faith will soon be done and … Continue reading →

King of Dramas Finalizes Cast with Kim Myung Min, Jung Ryeo Won, Choi Si Won and Oh Ji Eun

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 12, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 12, 2012

I’m seeing conflicting reports on which SBS drama will follow Faith on Mon-Tues. Some sites list The Great Seer, others list King of Dramas, and some sites list both as SBS Mon-Tues dramas. Clearly something has to give, and despite what I wrote earlier, I think logically The Great Seer ought to be a Wed-Thurs drama to follow To The … Continue reading →

First Look at Choi Si Won, Yuan Hong, and Wang Luo Dan in Turn Around Fall in Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 18, 2012 by ockoalaMay 17, 2012

After filming for a month and a half on the upcoming TW/C drama Turn Around Fall in Love (formerly called Return to the Past), a steady stream of BTS stills have trickled out showing leads Choi Si Won, Yuan Hong, Wang Luo Dan, and Jessie Chiang looking fantastic in character. This is not a time-traveling drama, per se, but Wang Luo Dan’s … Continue reading →

The Curious Case of the Amazing Class of 87ers

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2012 by ockoalaApril 21, 2012

I’ve had this post percolating since forever, but there was one hold out on it that made me iffy. Finally, at long last and really I shouldn’t be surprised, I have fallen madly for the charm of a certain Prince-turned-reluctant-King. With that, I can officially say that I adore the majority of the class of actors and actresses born in … Continue reading →

Donghae Wraps Filming on Skip Beat and Returns to Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 4, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 4, 2011

Skip Beat (Extravagant Challange) is nearing the end of its filming, and this week Donghae wrapped all his scenes and tearfully bid farewell to Taiwan. He was given flowers by the crew and he started crying because it was such an overwhelming experience for him. He promised to join the cast and crew in Bali to celebrate when the drama … Continue reading →

The Cast of Extravagant Challange Attend Press Conference and Commence Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 31, 2011 by ockoalaJune 8, 2011

There must be something in the air around here, because I am way more excited about upcoming TW-dramas than I am about upcoming K-dramas (with the exception of Best Love). GTV is totally on a roll these days, it has Hayate the Combat Butler completed, and now Extravagant Challange, its long-awaited live-action adaptation of the manga Skip Beat finally starts … Continue reading →
