Yoon Park Tests Positive for COVID-19, Heads into Quarantine But Has Completed All His Filming for jTBC Drama Forecasting Love and Weather

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’ve never liked actor Yoon Park, but more accurately I’ve never liked any character he’s played and that’s influenced how I associate with him, e.g. smarmy asshole types. But then he’s doing such a great job of being exactly that in Forecasting Love and Weather, but with more vulnerability and weakness and also great subtle comedic timing. He’s definitely a … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I personally did an eeny-meeny-miny-mo in deciding which of the two new weekend K-dramas to watch first, I didn’t want to watch both and compare as the two are competing with each other in ratings due to different time slot and also I wanted to just enjoy one drama and soak in the vibe for the time being.

It’s a sigh of relief after the weekend premieres of two new cable dramas, and probably the biggest winners from opening weekend’s good ratings and good reviews (critics and K-netizens) are the young male leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Song Kang.
