When the Stars Gossip Episode 2 Goes Off the Rails in Bizarre Plot Points as Characters Remain Difficult to Connect With

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 7, 2025 by ockoalaJanuary 7, 2025
Two astronauts interact in a spacecraft.

When the Stars Gossip with Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin Premieres to 3% Ratings on tvN with Mixed Reviews

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 6, 2025 by ockoalaJanuary 6, 2025

The stars are aligning at last for tvN drama When the Stars Gossip (Ask the Stars), and in pretty early fashion to boot.

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 19, 2024 by ockoalaNovember 19, 2024
Male character in dramatic conversation, intense expression.

If I didn’t know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama style I would have thought it was a mashup of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Alien. What’s with all the sus staring and mentally plotting intensity in the first new set of drama stills for When the Stars Gossip (Ask the Stars) … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 15, 2021 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2021
Black and white drama poster with two characters.

Upcoming tvN Fri-Sat drama feels like a good combination of momentum, pairing up leading man Lee Dong Wook with rising star actor Wi Ha Joon in a drama synopsis that reads a bit like Fight Club. I’m not saying one character doesn’t actually exist but the whole premise is two opposites suddenly coexisting in the same world to cause change … Continue reading →

Group of people posing together, smiling.

Count me in among the group of Kim Soo Hyun fans who are happy that the insane hype around him is slowing down. Even if he’s still crazy popular in Korea and overseas, the intense scrutiny over his next project after the astronomical success of You From Another Star was basically setting him up to not reach anyone’s expectations. Except … Continue reading →
