A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2019 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2019

Okay, the netizen pundits got two out of three right so that’s not bad. The Big Three network year end Drama Awards took place last night for MBC and tonight on the 31st for both SBS and KBS.

It’s that time of the year for the television networks to reward the successful dramas and shows for 2019. I have a sense of who is going to win the Daesang (Grand Prize) but it’s interesting to see what the domestic viewers are polling. K-netizens think that Gong Hyo Jin will win for KBS drama When the Camellia Blooms, Han … Continue reading →

I really a bipolar reaction to recently concluded successful in ratings KBS drama When the Camellia Blooms. Maybe a rewatch in one go will help me fully love it like many viewers seemed to with the drama finally bringing back higher ratings to the prime time slot. Leading lady Gong Hyo Jin was one-half the recipe, male lead Kang Ha … Continue reading →

When the Camellia Blooms Ends with Over 23% Ratings, Highest Prime Time Drama of 2019

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 22, 2019 by ockoalaNovember 21, 2019
Group of smiling people in various settings.

I’m going on a limb and sharing a completely contradictory opinion – I think When the Camellia Blooms is a very cohesive and well-written and acted drama but it’s just not an engaging watch. I think a lot of South Korea disagrees because the final episode broke 23% ratings and honestly any prime time that drama breaks 10% nowadays is … Continue reading →

Two characters share emotional moments outdoors.

My feelings about KBS Wed-Thurs drama When the Camellia Blooms is ambivalent hence the lack of posts on it. K-viewers are really enjoying it outright and ratings have gone one way up since it premiered with the most recent episode reaching 16.9%, the first for a prime time drama this year. I think the drama is very well written, with … Continue reading →

There’s a whole lotta camaraderie and cheer at the press conference for When the Camellia Blooms, a great sign for sure and definitely makes for a bright vibe. The three leads Gong Hyo Jin, Kang Ha Neul, and Kim Ji Suk were on hand to pose for pictures and answer press questions, goofing off comfortably with each other in contrast … Continue reading →

The first OTP-centric poster is out for KBS drama When the Camellia Blooms and it’s daring and sweet. Leads Gong Hyo Jin and Kang Ha Neul are shown from behind as they sit on steps talking happily to each other, with the port in the distance beyond their neighborhood. She runs a homely restaurant/bar, he’s the local police officer, and … Continue reading →

The metaphor for Gong Hyo Jin‘s character name Dong Baek being the camellia flower is carried over in the drama title When the Camellia Blooms. She’s not very confident and rather unsure of herself so her blooming happens after she gets involved with the three male leads in various ways, with Kang Ha Neul based on the first teaser being … Continue reading →

It’s been 16 years since Kim Rae Won and Gong Hyo Jin were together onscreen and the years have been kind to them. Both are still at the top of their careers while their long ago project the K-drama Snowman can’t be rewatched now since the other leading man was Jo Jae Hyun who got his comeuppance with the reveal … Continue reading →

I know Kang Ha Neul went to the military for two years and just got back but he totally threw me for a loop in the first teasers for the upcoming drama When the Camellia Blooms by looking just like his dorky character in the coming-of-age movie Twenty. In the first teaser, he runs and runs and arrives at Gong … Continue reading →

Gong Hyo Jin Starts Filming KBS Drama When Camellia Blooms

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 8, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 7, 2019

Filming has started for early fall KBS drama When Camellia Blooms and I’m super excited to see leading lady Gong Hyo Jin back on the small screen. With the major networks either ending Mon-Tues dramas or putting it on hiatus, it just means fewer dramas in general and also likely less opportunities to see actors and actresses as often as … Continue reading →
