Energy and Intensity Ratchets Up Between Suzy and Kim Woo Bin in Third Preview of Uncontrollably Fond

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 16, 2016 by ockoalaJune 16, 2016
Two characters in a dramatic scene.

Well that went south really fast, and by that I’m referring solely to the tone and not the narrative quality. The third preview is out for Uncontrollably Fond, which used to seem so far away but is now only three weeks out from its premiere date on July 6th on KBS Wed-Thurs taking over for Master: God of Noodles. The … Continue reading →

The Charismatic Four Leads of Uncontrollably Fond Attend Drama Wrap Party and Share Selfies

Acting chemistry aside, Suzy does look good with any leading man by her side. Here she is sharing the latest selfie from the set of upcoming KBS drama Uncontrollably Fond, and whether it’s with leading man Kim Woo Bin or second leading man Im Joo Hwan there’s no worry about any visual mismatch. The drama wrapped filming a week ago … Continue reading →

Uncontrollably Fond with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy Sets Premiere Date of June 29th

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 23, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 22, 2016

Details are coming together for my next most anticipated K-drama now that Descendants of the Sun has premiered. That would be Uncontrollably Fond, or Arbitrarily Fond as I’ve been calling it before but now will switch to Uncontrollably Fond as that’s the official English title KBS is going with. The drama is still filming with the main cast of Kim … Continue reading →

News Coverage of Arbitrarily Fond Shows Script Reading with Suzy, Kim Woo Bin, and Im Joo Hwan

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 13, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2016
Group of people studying at a table.

It feels like KBS drama Arbitrarily Fond has been filming for quite a long time but it’s actually only been a few months. The transition from live-filming to pre-produced isn’t new to other drama countries but for K-dramas it still takes some getting used to in expecting teasers and stills and whatnot. Arbitrarily Fond would seem like the perfect drama … Continue reading →

Im Joo Eun and Im Joo Hwan Join Kim Woo Bin and Suzy in Arbitrarily Fond

Four actors posing for promotional photos.

Next year K-drama Arbitrarily Fond just turned into the mashup of a Heirs reunion with a What’s Up? with the casting of one new female lead. Im Joo Eun has been confirmed as the second female lead in the drama, which makes it the second time she’s done a drama with the similar sounding in name Im Joo Hwan, who … Continue reading →

Arbitrarily Fond Scheduled for June of 2016, KBS May Slot Another Drama After Descendants of the Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 4, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 3, 2015
Three stylish individuals at a film event.

There’s a new latest and maybe not so greatest news about next year 2016’s K-drama Arbitrarily Fond. I have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes but this is one slippery eel in terms of locking down a time slot. Of course when it comes to K-dramas, stuff like casting, network, and time slot are all subject to constant … Continue reading →

Im Joo Hwan in Talks for Arbitrarily Fond and the Drama Will Premiere in China Exclusively on Youku Tudou

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 31, 2015
Man in tuxedo and woman in red dress.

Is it me, or is upcoming KBS drama Arbitrarily Fond getting a lot of media coverage? It’s not just in Korea, China is covering more on this drama than its same network and arguably even bigger budget and scope Descendants of the Sun. I’m equally excited about both from a screenwriter and cast stand point, but am wondering if Kim … Continue reading →

Oh My Ghost Readies for Friday Premiere and Looks Funny and Soulful in Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 2, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 2, 2015
Five people making heart shapes together.

I’m quite looking forward to upcoming tvN Fri-Sat night spiritual possession romantic comedy Oh My Ghost. It’s the first horror-tinged K-drama this year and airing a bit earlier than the usual lunar new year 8th month of ghost month, which usually falls around mid-July through early-August. This one looks less scary and more melancholy, with both female leads Park Bo Young and … Continue reading →

Oh My Ghost Continues to Deliver the Sweet and Sassy Drama Poster and Teaser

I’m really looking forward to upcoming tvN Fri-Sat drama Oh My Ghost with a low key anticipation, which is the best attitude to have these days when it comes to dramas mostly being a disappointment. I’m a little tired of judging whether dramas are qualitatively good or not, which is also subjective, I just want a drama to hook me … Continue reading →

Running Man Cast Snap Epic Selfies with Surprise Visitors Jo In Sung, Song Joong Ki, and Im Joo Hwan

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 14, 2015 by ockoalaJune 14, 2015
Group selfies with smiles and laughter.

Not every celebrity selfie is equal, and the adage is probably the more the merrier as solo shots can come off a bit self-absorbed. That’s why the Running Man casts selfie with recent surprise guests Song Joong Ki, Jo In Sung, and Im Joo Hwan are the very definition of total wins. The giddiness is through the roof at the … Continue reading →

Friends enjoying time outdoors together.

Looks like Song Joong Ki and Jo In Sung took their bromance with Kwang Soo to new levels prior to jetting off for an overseas vacation together. On the upcoming episode of Running Man, where Kwang Soo is a current cast member and Song Joong Ki a former cast member, Jo In Sung and Song Joong Ki will be guest … Continue reading →

Oh My Ghost Adds Im Joo Hwan, Kwak Si Young, and Park Jung Ah to the Already Awesome Cast

Three people posing for photographs together.

YES! I don’t know who to thank for this casting perfection but you have my deepest gratitude. Upcoming tvN drama Oh My Ghost finished casting this week with quite a flourish, rounding out the cast not with big flashy names but with genuine talent that is a pleasure to watch onscreen. That’s the opinion for me at least, but honestly this … Continue reading →

Dull and Lifeless Drama Posters for Shine or Go Crazy Does the Opposite of Impress

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 13, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 13, 2015

I gotta give MBC credit for the level of epic fail on the promos for upcoming fantasy fusion sageuk Shine or Go Crazy. Remember well that this meshed genre was also used to describe last year’s laughable mess Records of a Night Watchman, which let’s not forget also aired on MBC. Sure ROTC led the ratings for a very weak … Continue reading →
