A Koala's Playground Posted on February 11, 2024 by ockoalaFebruary 11, 2024

So this looks a lot better from the preview than the posters and stills promos thus far. I was worried Dr. Slump would be like another burn out from job former classmates fall in love drama Law Cafe which was just so stagnant and localized and despite having two leads I love did not create alchemy together.

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 20, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 18, 2023
Two students studying in a school setting.

There is a new poster for jTBC drama Dr. Slump and other than the title that keeps redirecting any searches for it to the famous Toriyama Akira manga of the same name, which annoys me when I can’t find news easily, now the lackluster first promos are annoying me. The drama stars Park Shin Hye and Park Hyung Sik and … Continue reading →

A Koala’s Guide to the Best Japanese Mangas

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 29, 2011 by ockoalaMay 24, 2011

Mangas, or Japanese comic books, were my first source of entertainment. Before I watched my first TV show, I read my first manga.
