Top Stars Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Jung Jae, Jung Woo Sung and Many More Attend VIP Premiere for Big Budget Fantasy Movie Alienoid

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 20, 2022 by ockoalaJuly 19, 2022
Cast posing at movie premiere event.

So things are not exactly off to a glowing start for high profile K-movie Alienoid (Alien+Human Part 1), which held a media premiere last week on July 13th and got back mixed reviews. There were a lot of critics grumbling that the movie has too many characters and is rather disjointed, but the good reviews are that the movie is … Continue reading →

Im Joo Hwan and Lee Ha Na to Headline Next KBS Weekend Drama Three Brave Siblings

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2022 by ockoalaApril 20, 2022
Smiling man in a suit at event.

I liken doing a weekend drama to having a safe paycheck and a steady gig for six months, with the bonus if the drama is a total success then it’s another popularity boost much like recent hit Young Lady and Gentleman gave Ji Hyun Woo back his mojos and cemented rookie Lee Se Hee as a leading lady. KBS is … Continue reading →

Park Hae Jin Wins the 2020 MBC Drama Award Daesang for Kkondae Intern in Socially Distanced Ceremony

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 30, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 30, 2020
Person speaking at an awards ceremony stage.

I searched and there are no pictures of the actors and actresses attending the 2020 MBC Drama Awards with their face masks off so kudos for the production really sticking with proper protective gear and social distancing. Everyone even wore gloves too! Too bad they all decided to do only black and white for their outfits, like the fight with … Continue reading →

Eric, Yoo In Ha, and Im Joo Hwan Navigate Awkwardness of First and Current Husband Love Triangle in Promos for The Spies Who Loved Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2020 by ockoalaOctober 19, 2020
Romantic moments between two characters.

I feel like Im Joo Hwan was hired to be the sacrifice in upcoming MBC drama The Spies Who Loved Me as the barrier between ex-spouses Eric and Yoo In Na getting back together. That’s fine as long as he has a great role and interesting narrative, but ooomph is it going to hurt to watch. Eric is so good … Continue reading →

Yoo In Na Romances Both Eric and Im Joo Hwan in New Posters and Stills for The Spies Who Loved Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 9, 2020 by ockoalaOctober 8, 2020
Romantic poster featuring two couples embracing.

The upcoming MBC drama The Spies Who Loved Me is totally going to put us in leading lady Yoo In Na‘s shoes as she navigates from spy ex-husband Eric and spy current-husband Im Joo Hwan. This is like the K-drama version of Spy v. Spy and may the best smexy secret agent win, though all signs point to Eric. It’s … Continue reading →

Posters and Stills for The Spies Who Loved Me Feels Like a Retread of Past Eric, Yoo In Na, and Im Joo Hwan Dramas

You watch K-dramas long enough, and blog about it long enough, then inevitably it’s like deja vu happening right before your eyes in slow motion. More posters and stills are out for MBC spy thriller romance The Spies Who Loved Me with Eric, Yoo In Na, and Im Joo Hwan. The leads are nicely selected to match well visually, age-bracket, … Continue reading →

Eric, Yoo In Na, and Im Joo Hwan Make Striking First Impression in Poster and Teaser for MBC Drama The Spies Who Loved Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 17, 2020 by ockoalaSeptember 18, 2020
Three characters from a spy drama series.

Oooooh, I really love this poster. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s very striking and frames the leads beautifully in gorgeous primary colors. MBC‘s next romance drama will be The Spies Who Loved Me, taking over the time slot from When I was Most Beautiful. I haven’t heard much about it as it was quietly filming last few months but it … Continue reading →

Im Joo Hwan Joining Eric and Yoo In Na in K-drama The Spy Who Loved Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 18, 2020 by ockoalaJune 18, 2020
Person in a light suit smiling confidently.

I get a kick not from watching every K-drama Im Joo Hwan is in, despite really loving him as an actor, but from seeing what he does next because this man certainly jumps roles like a jack rabbit. In second leads alone he plays nice guy, clingy guy, weird guy, silent guy, and then super baddie guy, it’s like he’s … Continue reading →

Script Reading for MBC Drama The Game: Towards Zero with Taecyeon, Lee Yeon Hee, and Im Joo Hwan

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 15, 2019 by ockoalaDecember 14, 2019
Actors participating in a script reading.

And they’re off the races, or at least racing towards zero whatever that means in the drama. Script reading pictures have been released for early January 2020 MBC drama The Game: Towards Zero, starring Taecyeon, Lee Yeon Hee, and Im Joo Hwan. Seeing the two leads together made me realize that I actually forgot that Taec and Lee Yeon Hee … Continue reading →

MBC Drama The Game: Towards Zero with Taecyeon, Lee Yeon Hee, and Im Joo Hwan Confirms January 2020 Broadcast

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 9, 2019 by ockoalaDecember 8, 2019
Promotional image for a 2020 drama series.

The first new drama to arrive in 2020 sounds like it will be The Game: Towards Zero, or towards hopefully a good year for K-drama ratings. The drama is scheduled to air in January 2020 on MBC Wed-Thurs and stars Taecyeon in his acting comeback after two years in the military. He plays a prophet who can look into people’s … Continue reading →

OMG, please don’t make Im Joo Hwan into secretly the serial killer baddie in his next drama. Sorry I’m worried but this cutie pie keeps getting short shifted and honestly he’s better off being the nicest man in the world as he’s often been playing. Im Joo Hwan is currently in political family drama The Great Show but has lined … Continue reading →

Song Seung Heon Stages Political Comeback Toggling Four Kids in tvN Drama The Great Show

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 22, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2019
Family playing around a large poster.

Oooh, this one looks potentially adorable and hilarious. I’m never in the mood for serious and dark Korean political dramas but tvN‘s The Great Show is a comedic family take on it with Song Seung Heon doing his best smarmy politician impression. He plays a formerly high flying wunderkind politician who loses his re-election and falls back to earth. He … Continue reading →

First Look at Lee Yo Won and Yoo Ji Tae as Korean Independence Fighters in MBC Period Drama Different Dreams

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 16, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 16, 2019
Dramatic scenes from a Korean drama series.

MBC is borrowing a theme from last year 2018’s highest rated K-drama Mr. Sunshine, going back in history to the days of fighting for independence and Korean pride. Upcoming period drama Different Dreams (Yimong) is getting closer to its May premiere so time to check it out. I initially heard about this drama as a potential Lee Young Ae vehicle … Continue reading →
