Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won Freed From Mediocrity and Attends Criminal Minds Drama Wrap Party

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 29, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 28, 2017
Person holding flowers and waving joyfully.

The wholly underwhelming run of the K-drama remake Criminal Minds finished this week, freeing the talented cast to do bigger and better things, or at least snap back to life from their somnambulant state of being for the last 8 weeks. To know that K-dramas is planning to remake Suits next just has me sighing over the pointlessness of doing something in … Continue reading →

K-remake of Criminal Minds Passes Midway Airing and Drops to 2% range from Premiere Ratings High of 4%

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 4, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 3, 2017
Two people walking together in a garden.

Things are not dire but is certainly disappointing as tvN‘s high profile and big name casted K-drama remake of Criminal Minds hasn’t really resonated with the local audience. Episode 1 did a promising and high for cable 4.187% AGB nationwide ratings but has then fallen to the 2% range with a few episodes going back up past 3% but nowhere … Continue reading →

New Stills with Lee Jun Ki, Moon Chae Won and Son Hyun Joo Ramp Up Excitement for K-drama Criminal Minds

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 13, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 14, 2017
Two characters in tense conversations.

The July heatwave is on and I’m looking for the intensity chill of upcoming K-drama Criminal Minds to deliver a refreshing dose of procedural kicks. Starring Lee Jun Ki, Son Hyun Joo, and Moon Chae Won, I love all three and am happy to see the collaboration on a drama that hopefully will mine the US version of the show … Continue reading →

First Preview for K-remake of Criminal Minds with Lee Jun Ki, Moon Chae Won, and Son Hyun Joo

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 5, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 5, 2017
Group of diverse characters in dramatic poses.

It’s probably good that Lee Jun Ki picked the K-drama remake of Criminal Minds as his next drama after the high profile flop that was Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo. It’s a modern day procedural and world’s away from sageuk where he’s done so many outings in period garb, not to mention all the shipping with his previous leading lady … Continue reading →

Criminal Minds K-drama Remake Leads Lee Jun Ki and Son Hyun Joo in Vogue Korea July Edition

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2017 by ockoalaJune 22, 2017
Two men seated at a table in suits.

The look may be dark and mildly sinister but the talent and aura of actors Lee Jun Ki and Son Hyun Joo is bright burning charisma. That the K-drama remake of Criminal Minds pairs the two together is a masterstroke and I can’t to see how they spur each other on to greater intensity. Sometimes Jun Ki does need to … Continue reading →

Criminal Minds Moves to tvN Wed-Thurs Late Night and Premiering in July

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 26, 2017 by ockoalaMay 26, 2017
Person wielding a gun and smiling.

The time slot got changed but the K-drama remake of Criminal Minds is still barreling towards audiences with a July 2017 premiere date. The drama remains airing on tvN but the cable network has moved it from a weekend late night slot to a middle of the week late night slot, airing on Wed-Thurs at 11 pm. I get goosebumps … Continue reading →

First Look at Lee Jun Ki, Moon Chae Won, and Son Hyun Joo in K-drama Criminal Minds

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 7, 2017 by ockoalaMay 6, 2017
Two men in a dark forest with weapons.

Ooooooh this looks fantastic, or at least the lead cast does on first impression. Filming is underway for the K-drama remake of hit US procedural Criminal Minds, and if this is a hit expect more where that remake train is coming. The drama is scheduled to air on cable network tvN in July but is well underway with filming, which … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won’s K-drama Criminal Minds Scheduled for July 2017 tvN Late Night Broadcast

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 6, 2017 by ockoalaApril 5, 2017
Two celebrities at a film premiere event.

I’m actually relieved that Lee Jun Ki isn’t doing a rom-com or romance based K-drama as his next project, let’s keep him out of fan shipping cross hairs for the time being. He’s confirmed for the upcoming Korean remake of hit US procedural show Criminal Minds, and so is his leading lady Moon Chae Won. I’ve never envisioned this onscreen … Continue reading →

Moon Chae Won in Talks to Join Lee Jun Ki in K-remake of Criminal Minds

Two individuals posing for a photo.

I let out a small yelp of excitement and shock when this casting news first flickered across my screen, and had to rub my eyes to make sure it wasn’t my imagination. K-actress Moon Chae Won has been offered the leading lady role in the K-drama remake of US show Criminal Minds, which if she accepts will mean acting opposite … Continue reading →

KBS Prepares K-drama Remake of Criminal Minds and Offers Lead Roles to Lee Jun Ki and Kim Ah Joong

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 10, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2017
Smiling man in a tuxedo at event.

I won’t question the decision to do another US show K-drama remake despite the spotty track record last year. The Good Wife did relatively well in ratings but not the hit that was expected, and the less said about the abysmal ratings failure of Entourage the better. Third time may be the charm, at least I hope so if my … Continue reading →
