Drama Posters and Long Preview for School 2017 with Kim Se Jung, Kim Jung Hyun, and Jang Dong Yoon

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 11, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 11, 2017
Group of students sitting against a wall.

Next Mon-Tues is the premiere of not just one but two new K-dramas so that’ll shake things up a bit. MBC will be airing sageuk A Kings Love, going up against the midway point of the earlier arriving sageuk My Sassy Girl on SBS, leaving KBS the outlier option as the network premieres the latest iteration of the well received … Continue reading →

Kim Yoo Jung Declines School 2017 and Drama Casts Idol Kim Se Jung From Second to Lead Actress

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 6, 2017 by ockoalaJune 5, 2017
Four smiling individuals in a collage.

I don’t have much of an opinion about the sudden casting news around School 2017, but I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. If casting newbies is what KBS wanted that would be fine but I’m getting whiplash feeling like the network couldn’t even decide which direction it wanted to go. The drama had been … Continue reading →

MBC Long Sageuk Splendid Politics Starts Filming with Epic Cast

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 4, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 7, 2015
Three stylish individuals at a public event.

Currently MBC‘s Mon-Tues fusion sageuk Shine or Go Crazy is comfortably leading the ratings for its time slot, but fifty episode long sageuks don’t just materialize out of thin air so all eyes are on followup drama Splendid Politics (Hwajung, or could be called Princess Jungmyung). Usually MBC does its long sageuk earlier in the year but Splendid Politics won’t … Continue reading →

Joseon Gunman Gears Up for Premiere this Week with Press Conference and More Teasers

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2014 by ockoalaJune 22, 2014

The Wed-Thurs time slot has been devoid of a K-drama that really connects with me ever since Miss Korea wrapped up. Many were watchable like A New Leaf or Sly and Single Again, and others totally a pass such as Golden Cross or Three Days. I had hoped You’re All Surrounded would live up to the hype but its sadly lived … Continue reading →

Joseon Gunman Keeps the Excitement High with More Teaser Treats and Cast Interview

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 15, 2014 by ockoalaJune 15, 2014

If something quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, walks like a duck, then it is most definitely a duck. Same does not go for dramas as plenty of dramas have looked good and sounded good only to end up horribly off-the-mark. Like a supposed ace pitcher getting on the mound and throws a wild pitch that lands somewhere … Continue reading →

Jaw-dropping Evocative Individual and Group Posters for Joseon Gunman with Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 11, 2014 by ockoalaJune 11, 2014

It will be a travesty of everything good in drama land if Joseon Gunman turns out to be a dud after dropping the most ridiculously gorgeous and eye-catching promotional materials in all of K-drama fare this year. I suppose the consolation prize is knowing that even if the drama sucks leading man Lee Jun Ki will be bringing it in … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi Lead the Talented Cast of Joseon Gunman at the KBS Script Reading

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 17, 2014 by ockoalaMay 17, 2014

Can I have a moment here to just soak in this dream come true? Seeing Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi adorably posing together for the script reading stills just released by KBS for the upcoming drama Joseon Gunman (The Joseon Shooter) leave me making incoherent noises that would alarm a seal. I’ll confess to not watching the current KBS Wed-Thurs … Continue reading →

First Peek at Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi in Character on the Joseon Gunman Set

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 11, 2014 by ockoalaMay 10, 2014

Last week was fantastic for a K-drama fan, so many new dramas premiering with many quite watchable. I remember dry spells when nothing beckoned other than lackluster dramas one would watch because nothing else was on. Even if the Spring arrivals have mostly met expectations, that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start looking forward to the Summer fare. My … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye Rumored to Join Lee Jun Ki in Joseon Gunman Along with Jeon Hye Bin and Han Joo Wan

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 6, 2014 by ockoalaApril 6, 2014

I’ve heard the unconfirmed murmuring from KBS insiders since early March about Lee Jun Ki taking the titular role in Joseon Gunman, then the media picked it up around middle of March when both the network and the agency released the news. I’ve also heard about the rumored leading lady pairing up with Jun Ki on this project since the … Continue reading →
