Medical drama collage featuring intense scenes.

Last year 2022 was an extraordinarily good year for K-dramas but so far in 2023 we haven’t had a big yet hit, The Glory doesn’t count since it technically is considered a 2022 drama premiering at the end of December. SBS had a solid hit with Taxi Driver 2 and may even improve on that with the follow up drama … Continue reading →

Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3 Confirmed for Early 2023 with Leads Han Suk Kyu, Lee Sung Kyung, and Ahn Hyo Seob All Returning

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 16, 2022 by ockoalaSeptember 16, 2022
Medical drama characters in various scenes.

It’s weird that season 1 of Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim had the two younger leads not return for season 2 but now the 3rd season will continue with the same cast as season 2. I guess Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok were just too big at that point for another subordinate still learning the ropes role but much … Continue reading →

Four people posing for a group photo.

I’m glad that SBS is still holding its year end SBS Drama Awards and that its decided to forgo tradition that makes it like a year end party and do it social distanced in a time of increasing yet again COVID counts. The network will not have all the attendees sit in round tables below the stage and instead winners … Continue reading →

I’m in K-drama heaven right now with two weekend dramas capturing all my attention so I’m not as anxiously awaiting the upcoming releases.

Han Suk Kyu doesn’t look either either a doctor or a teacher in his first stills for SBS medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2, more like he’s auditioning for the fisherman killer in I Know What You Did Last Summer lol. It was a fairly routine type of blah year for the network in 2019 in terms of ratings … Continue reading →

Actors reading scripts in a group setting.

The doctor + teacher is bad in the house, or hospital, as filming as kicked off for season 2 of Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim. The first one with Han Suk Kyu, Yoo Yeon Suk, and Seo Hyun Jin got good ratings so it’s reasonable SBS would bank on the same formula for a second go-around. It works because only Han … Continue reading →
