A Koala's Playground Posted on August 23, 2023 by ockoalaAugust 24, 2023
K-drama poster featuring two main characters.

Put this is in the no need and even worse case scenario a really bad idea category. C-drama is going to remake critically beloved K-drama Flower of Evil, one of the best dark and twisty melodramas in recent years airing on Youku in 2024. It’s called Deceit and will star Chen Xiao and Yang Zi Shan, so thank god no … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2021 by ockoalaApril 16, 2021
Collection of popular Korean drama thumbnails.

The 2021 Baeksang Arts Award nominations came out five days ago but I didn’t have a chance to write about it since the news was overshadowed by the hullabaloo that was the production of MBC drama Time and things surrounding it. This year’s nominations were solid but still plenty to discuss especially with real life scandal with one nominee. The … Continue reading →

It’s the most influential and mass aggregated site for viewers to rate shows and is actually quite objective as the volume of votes drowns out crazed fans and antis trying to affect ratings.

Three people smiling together in a hospital setting.

Whenever a Lee Jun Ki drama succeeds it brings in droves of new fans, I’ve seen it beforehand so many times in the nearly 15 years since I’ve loved this young man turned really exemplary actor.

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 23, 2020 by ockoalaSeptember 23, 2020
Two people holding magazines outdoors, smiling.

I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth and quibble about the little things that were less than perfect about tvN Wed-Thurs drama Flower of Evil, because this flower was as beautiful and fragrant to behold and getting up and personal to look for imperfection defeats the central theme. The final episode hit a new ratings high of 5.715% … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 18, 2020 by ockoalaSeptember 18, 2020
Dramatic scenes from a tense thriller series.

There is one more week and one more episode left of Flower of Evil and I am going to miss the bloom off this incredibly assembled drama.

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 16, 2020 by ockoalaSeptember 16, 2020
Emotional confrontation between two characters.

Wed-Thurs tvN drama Flower of Evil is in its final bloom, just two more episodes left after today’s episode 14. Truth be told the intensity has waned a bit for, lost the luster of the early Is-He-Isn’t-He mystery along with the conviction that Hyun Soo is the smartest of them all. Episode 14 felt like he was human, just like … Continue reading →

Kim Ji Hoon is Scary Sexy as the Serial Killer in Flower of Evil Whether Digging Holes or Post Coma

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 13, 2020 by ockoalaSeptember 13, 2020
Person sitting in garden, holding a shovel.

I have to commend the casting director of Flower of Evil, to convince a male lead like Kim Ji Hoon to join the cast as the big bad was a stroke of genius because you need an actor that’s able to match Lee Jun Ki‘s intensity and charisma onscreen. Basically all our worries that Hyun Soo was a serial killer … Continue reading →

This week there is only 1 episode of tvN drama Flower of Evil and by the drama gods was it a dooooooozy of a ride.
