A Koala's Playground Posted on June 8, 2025 by ockoalaJune 8, 2025

NGL, these two contrary to expectations actually look good together. I’m talking about Guan Xiao Tong and Li Yun Rui for the Mango TV and Hunan TV C-drama Dazzling, which formally announced the leads and filming this week. I love getting the casting melons and on-dits before hand otherwise this sounds like any other drama launch announcement except now I … Continue reading →

Good lord what has the costume designer done to poor Li Yun Rui!

Modern Romance C-drama Dazzling with Male Lead Li Yun Rui Changes Female Lead to Zhang Ruo Nan

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 16, 2025 by ockoalaMay 15, 2025

So in drama casting for any star it’s never final until it has started filming, and even then it’s not final what with mid-shoot recastings all the way to post-production AI face swaps. Follow along long enough and I’ve basically seen it all happen lol. The coveted female lead role for the soon to start filming modern C-drama Dazzling with … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 8, 2025 by ockoalaMay 7, 2025

Well this sucks majorly for cutie pie Sun Zhenni! I’m not going to say this doesn’t happen on occasion in C-ent but still sucks to have to happen to an actress that recently had a small breakout thanks to her last drama and was primed for a really great next role. The Mango TV produced modern C-drama Dazzling is scheduled … Continue reading →

Han Ji Min and Kim Hye Ja are Mirror Images in New Promos for jTBC Drama The Light in Your Eyes

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2019 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2019
Two women enjoying nature in vibrant scenery.

Upcoming jTBC drama The Light in Your Eyes (formerly called Dazzling) is rightly focusing all its promos on its two female leads. Han Ji Min and veteran Kim Hye Ja play the same character but forty years apart, with a fantasy conceit that the younger self ages forward and then has the ability to manipulate time. I don’t mind fantasy … Continue reading →

Four people smiling in a cozy setting.

The four leads of upcoming jTBC early 2019 K-drama Dazzling (Brilliant) gathered together as filming has started and I’m cautiously optimistic. The younger man-older woman pairing in currently airing tvN drama Encounter (Boyfriend) is working so beautifully that I hope Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk spark together and bring their own unique onscreen coupling to play. What’s cute … Continue reading →
