MBC Mon-Tues Drama Two Cops with Jo Jung Seok and Hyeri Hold Script Reading

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2017
Two smiling individuals giving thumbs up.

I see the casting for the upcoming MBC drama Two Cops and deciding to be optimistic I notice the reunion of a bunch of Answer Me alums. Leading lady Hyeri from Answer Me 1988 gets to work with supporting leads Hoya and Lee Si Eun from Answer Me 1997. If all three bring the same level of heart and acting … Continue reading →

Go Ah Sung and Ha Suk Jin Get Ready to Bicker and Banter in MBC Drama Radiant Office

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 12, 2017 by ockoalaMarch 10, 2017
Two professionals in an office setting.

It will be office to office next Wed-Thurs as MBC trades low rated castaway mystery thriller Missing 9 for gung ho workplace success drama Radiant Office. There’s already a workplace drama dominating that time slot in Chief Kim on KBS so Radiant Office can either get blocked by lack of interest in the same genre or buoyed by overflowing interest in … Continue reading →

MBC Releases Stills and Previews for Upcoming Drama Radiant Office with Go Ah Sung and Ha Suk Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 1, 2017 by ockoalaMarch 1, 2017
Woman aiming a bow, man reading documents.

March is here so what better time to preview the upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Radiant Office, which takes over from Missing 9 on March 15th. It will go up against time slot leader Chief Kim but may actually want to cheer Chief Kim on as Radiant Office also tells the workplace underdog success story so audiences may have room for … Continue reading →

MBC Holds Script Reading for Radiant Office Led by Leads Go Ah Sung and Ha Suk Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 4, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 4, 2017
Actors reading scripts during a rehearsal.

Script reading commenced last week upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Radiant Office (Glowing Office), the drama by newbie screenwriter Jung Ho Hyun that won a MBC script writing competition. The most memorable competition winning drama script to be made into a hit drama in recent years remains KBS drama Secret (Secret Love), though having bailed midway through I can’t opine as … Continue reading →

Infinite Members Holding their Own in Hi School: Love On and My Lovely Girl

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2014

Four out of seven is a majority so it’s only fitting I write about certain members of the K-pop boyband Infinite now that four are currently gracing the airwaves and doing so in a rather enjoyable manner for me. L and Hoya are starring in the SBS primetime Wed-Thurs drama My Lovely Girl while Woohyun and Sungyeol are over on … Continue reading →

Happy Mid-autumn: My Secret Hotel Preempted and My Lovely Girl Prepares for Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 8, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 8, 2014

Happy Zhong Qiu/Chuseok everyone! It’s the annual mid-autumn festival in the Asian countries that still celebrate it, namely Korea and Greater China (Mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) for us following along with its dramas. Japan celebrates it as Tsukimi or the moon viewing holiday, and the mid-autumn festival is always the 15th day of the 8th month on the lunar … Continue reading →

New Stills From My Lovely Girl Show Rain and His Dog Bestie along with Partying Idols

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 1, 2014

I love dogs and I very much like Rain, so these new stills of the upcoming SBS drama My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) are a good thing, yes? Too bad I still have major reservations about this drama, but at the same time the reservations don’t rise to the level of the bracing for an immediate impact stance that … Continue reading →

Rain and Krystal Lead the Script Reading for My Lovely Girl

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 11, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 10, 2014

There’s a genuine nerve-wracking frisson of worry that flits by anytime I come across updates for the upcoming SBS music rom-com My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl, She’s So Lovable). A rom-com always gets my interest purely because I’m always hopeful that this could be the elusive one that will get it right. When Rain signed on to the drama … Continue reading →

My Lovely Girl’s One-name Wonder Cast: Alex and Hoya Join Rain, Krystal, and L

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 8, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 7, 2014

I’m reserving the right to end up loving My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) but right now it keeps looking like a major hot mess in the making. The casting of much younger idol-actress Krystal with only three dramas under her belt makes for valid concerns about whether she’s ready in skill and charisma to be a leading lady in … Continue reading →
