Honey Lee and Gong Myung Reunite After Extreme Job for K-movie Killing Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 14, 2020 by ockoalaApril 13, 2020
Two smiling individuals in cozy sweaters.

There are so many starts and stops right now in K-movie land thanks to COVID-19. Some movies had to halt filming, others delayed start, and even more movies were supposed to premiere in February and March and have been delayed. A movie further out in the horizon has my attention thanks to the cast: Honey Lee will be the female … Continue reading →

All Employees Wants to Kill Boss Kang Ji Hwan in Previews for KBS Office Drama Feel Good to Die

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 4, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 3, 2018
Romantic comedy scene in an office setting.

The posters and teasers for KBS Wed-Thurs drama Feel Good to Die actually look good but I’m not terribly optimistic about the drama getting high ratings. Recent office dramas have been middling to flops and this one looks a tad too quirky. The drama posters are super fun, one with the leads Kang Ji Hwan in Baek Jin Hee‘s arms … Continue reading →

Every Employee Wants to Kill Boss Kang Ji Hwan in KBS Office Drama Feel Good to Die

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 19, 2018 by ockoalaOctober 19, 2018
Office scene with multiple characters interacting.

This actually looks interesting and may be the first office-based K-drama I’ve checked out in awhile. KBS is readying Feel Good to Die (Happy if You Died) to take over the Wed-Thurs time slot from The Ghost Detective and will serve up a dish of revenge best served everyday. Apparently the premise is that Kang Ji Hwan‘s arrogant horrible boss … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan, Baek Jin Hee, and Gong Myung Lead Script Reading for KBS Wed-Thurs Drama Happy if You Died

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 5, 2018 by ockoalaOctober 5, 2018
Group of people in a meeting setting.

The Wed-Thurs time slot remains a ratings depressed zone and I’m not feeling optimistic that the upcoming KBS drama Happy if You Died will inject a boost to the proceedings even if I love the dark humor of its drama title. Happy if You Died is an office drama with Kang Ji Hwan playing an arrogant awful boss that all … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan, Baek Jin Hee, and Gong Myung in Talks for Office K-drama Happy to Die

Smiling person in a cozy, bright space.

KBS had one of the better received in ratings and audience feedback office type dramas in recent years with Chief Kim so it’s possible this upcoming office drama from the network may also resonate with the viewers. KBS is casting for the fall 2018 drama Happy to Die adapted from a popular webtoon centered around an exacting and arrogant company … Continue reading →

First Drama Poster and New Stills for tvN Rom-com Revolutionary Love with Choi Si Won and Kang Sora

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 29, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 30, 2017
Man and woman having a serious conversation outdoors.

With how hard Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) flopped recently on KBS Mon-Tues, there is a reasonable concern that similarly quirky rom-com feel upcoming tvN drama Revolutionary Love may be coming at a time without the audience for this type of drama fare. The two drama’s even have titles based on a pun of the male lead’s name, which of course … Continue reading →

Teaser and Confirmed Casting for tvN Drama Byun Hyuk’s Love with Choi Siwon, Kang Sora, and Gong Myung

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 7, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 6, 2017
Three people posing in stylish outfits.

Hopefully this will be one of tvN‘s solid romantic drama outings rather than one of it’s flat footed fails, for some reason the network is pretty extreme in either direction when it comes to rom-coms. In terns of now confirmed casting for upcoming Byun Hyuk’s Love it’s definitely picked right, scooping up just out of the military idol-actor Choi Siwon … Continue reading →

Nam Joo Hyuk Trades in Laughable Fantasy for Modern Good Looks in New Stills and Preview for Bride of the Water God

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 29, 2017 by ockoalaJune 29, 2017
Four characters in distinct styles and settings.

Nam Joo Hyuk was one of those who made it out alright in the hot mess K-drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, looking a dash more modern as the 13th prince but still suitably decked out. He should be the most relieved that the upcoming drama adaption of manhwa Bride of the Water God moved the setting from the fantasy … Continue reading →

Bride of the Water God Releases Moody Drama Poster Contrasting with Slapstick Episode 1 Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 24, 2017 by ockoalaJune 24, 2017
Fantasy drama poster featuring four characters.

Talk about whiplash in moods as the first group drama poster for Bride of the Water God arrives followed by a completely different tonal one for the episode 1 preview teaser. It’s like the static posing of the cast promises a dark ethereal gothic drama but then the viewer watches the episode 1 preview full of straight up humor and … Continue reading →

The Drama Cast of Bride of the Water God Goes All White for Poster Shoot

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 17, 2017 by ockoalaJune 17, 2017
Group of five people in a green field.

  Whatever the quality ends up being with the drama adaptation of Bride of the Water God, it’s looking like the drama has enough fan base and the cast buzzworthy to bring in the viewership curious to check it out. I guess casting idols and younger leads has that upside, and I for one am genuinely interested to see how … Continue reading →

Woman in red dress, looking contemplative outdoors.

We’ve only see the water god and the bride in all the previews so far for upcoming tvN drama adaption of Bride of the Water God, which is fine for fans of leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung, but clearly it takes more than the two leads to make a compelling story. Now we finally get to see … Continue reading →

Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung Lead Cast Script Reading for Bride of the Water God

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 25, 2017 by ockoalaMay 26, 2017
Actors in a script reading session.

The upcoming K-drama adaptation of manhwa Bride of the Water God has many unknown elements from cast to narrative conversion from period fantasy to modern times. It’s the kind of unknowns that have sunk many a K-drama in the past but when everything clicks can create a wondrous and unexpected treat. I never warmed to the original source material the … Continue reading →
