Descendants of the Sun Special Episode Dominates Wed Ratings with 17.7% and Entertainer Premieres with 6.1%

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 20, 2016 by ockoalaApril 20, 2016
K-drama posters featuring romance and music themes.

I thought the Descendants of the Sun ratings gravy train was over for KBS but apparently not. The production team and network wisely elected not to extend DotS, not that it was realistically even possible anyways since it was fully pre-produced, but still that was a major relief for those watching along. That meant DotS aired it’s final episode 16 last … Continue reading →

Ji Sung and Hyeri Sell their Chemistry and Music Journey Story Line for SBS Drama Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 20, 2016 by ockoalaApril 19, 2016
Two smiling individuals posing together.

SBS premieres new Wed-Thurs drama Entertainer (Ttanttara, a derogatory Korean slang for the title), so get used to hearing it used often in the drama and also get used for a new competitive playing field. With KBS finished with its Descendants of the Sun domination the field is now open again to see if newcomer Entertainer and Master: God of … Continue reading →

Entertainer Makes it Hip to be Square in Official Drama Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2016 by ockoalaApril 18, 2016
K-drama promotional poster with main characters.

There’s a wonderfully comforting vibe about Entertainer and it’s not something easily explainable. I just get the feels with the teasers and stills, and now the official drama posters seal the deal. Love, love, love the slightly retro colors and a square sentiment around it. Ji Sung looks so earnest as the fallen music man trying to reclaim his industry … Continue reading →

Entertainer Looks Vastly Entertaining with Minty Throwback Posters and Dramatic New Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 14, 2016 by ockoalaApril 14, 2016
Cast of the Korean drama "Ddangta."

I’ve definitively found the first choice in my next K-drama to follow and it’s Entertainer thanks to the latest preview showing scenes from the first episode. It looks so earnest and entertaining (pardon the title pun), with Ji Sung owning the screen as he alternates between put upon and extending a life line. With the end of Please Come Back … Continue reading →

Kang Min Hyuk Perfectly Cast as a High School Budding Musician in SBS Drama Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 11, 2016 by ockoalaApril 11, 2016
Young man in a school uniform, looking thoughtful.

Even after Answer Me 1988 I don’t find Hyeri a truly talented actress (yet), but one thing she’s delivering in spades is chemistry with her male leads. She had loads of sizzle with both Ryu Jun Yeol and Park Bo Gum, so it’s not a surprise to see her already looking compatible with both Ji Sung and Kang Min Hyuk … Continue reading →

Ji Sung’s Entertainer Releases More Drama Stills and Second Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 8, 2016 by ockoalaApril 8, 2016
Two men in a beach-side confrontation.

Excited is an understatement anticipating Ji Sung‘s drama land return in over a year since Kill Me Heal Me. He’s the primary reason the music industry drama Entertainer even looks interesting at all for me, him and a side of cutie pie Kang Min Hyuk. The female leads in Hyeri and Chae Jung Ahn are less exciting than watching Ji … Continue reading →

Ji Sung and Hyeri Dance into Audience Hearts in First Teaser for Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 31, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 31, 2016
Two people posing playfully with peace signs.

I don’t know how I feel about the character arrangements in SBS new drama Entertainer, but I do know that I unabashedly love the just released first teaser. Only two of the four leads make their appearance as music agency president Ji Sung vogues and then shimmy and shakes in a convenience store after encountering dance bug bitten Hyeri. Despite … Continue reading →

Entertainer with Ji Sung and Hyeri Release Script Reading Stills and Starts Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 30, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 30, 2016
Group of actors in a script reading session.

It’s a bit of a late start to filming for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Entertainer, but as a modern piece it likely needs less prep work. Starring Ji Sung, Hyeri of Girl’s Day, CNBLUE‘s Kang Min Hyuk, and Chae Jung Ahn, the music industry drama genre isn’t new to SBS as the network attempted it in the summer of ’14 … Continue reading →

SBS Locks Down Entertainer with Leads Ji Sung, Hyeri, Kang Min Hyuk, and Chae Jung Ahn

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 21, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 20, 2016
Three individuals posing for a photo together.

SBS has locked down the cast for its next Wed-Thurs drama and not a moment too soon. Entertainer premieres at the end of April after Please Come Back Ahjussi and even if it’s a modern drama there is still time needed to get ahead of the live filming crush. The drama confirmed male lead Ji Sung last week, a major … Continue reading →

Ji Sung and Kang Min Hyuk Confirmed for SBS Drama Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 17, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 17, 2016
Man in black tuxedo at award ceremony.

At this point SBS needs to look forward to its next Wed-Thurs drama and just ignore the ratings for the next 4 weeks. I’m definitely checking out the scheduled music industry drama Entertainer for sure now that male lead Ji Sung has confirmed his casting. Even if younger male lead hopeful Park Bo Gum turned his role down to headline … Continue reading →

Two women posing for photographs at events.

Usually the casting of male characters garners more buzz since the K-drama audience skews female, but there are three offers out for upcoming dramas that will likely elicit its share of feedback since the actresses in question are popular or currently getting a lot of exposure. Up first is SBS drama Doctors, formerly known as Female Gangster Hye Jung, which … Continue reading →

Man in a stylish black coat, serious pose.

Kyaaaaa, such perfect timing to drop an exhilarating drama casting news to get over the midweek hump. Breaking news is even better in twos, especially if it involves two of my fave actors. Ji Sung and Park Bo Gum are in talks for upcoming SBS drama Entertainer. Ji Sung and Park Bo Gum, now I need to pinch myself. The … Continue reading →
