MBC to Preempt Well-reviewed New Fri-Sat Drama Tracer with Im Shi Wan, Go Ah Sung, and Son Hyun Joo for 3 Weeks to Air the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 25, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2022
Four characters posing from a drama series.

I feel like all K-dramas are going to get shafted for the first three weeks of February once the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics kicks off. That’s fine its the prerogative for the networks to air what they wish but for viewers it really does stem any momentum. On the heel of SBS preempting its Fri-Sat drama Through the Darkness (Those … Continue reading →

Okay, I totally had a deja vu moment when I heard this drama synopsis and wondered if I was back in January 2021 when Hometown Cha Cha Cha was cast. K-ent is reporting that Im Shi Wan and Seolhyun have been tapped as the leads for the countryside romance drama Summer Strike, which legit sounds like Hometown Cha Cha Cha … Continue reading →

Airplane flying above city in clouds.

The first stills are out for upcoming high profile big budget air disaster movie Emergency Declaration and it’s just a collection of huge stars which is nothing wrong to enjoy the assemblage. The movie premiered last month at Cannes Film Festival and will get a theatrical US release after an early 2022 South Korea premiere. The premise is that an … Continue reading →

The child actors of hit MBC sageuk The Moon Embraces the Sun were the shining stars of the cast, getting a long 6-episode run to set the stage and since then each and every one has gone on to success.

Looking Into the Rearview Mirror as jTBC Drama Run On Jogs Off into the Sunset

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 6, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 5, 2021
Romantic conversations in cozy cafe setting.

Another drama ended this week, and from the buzz (or lack thereoff), it appears jTBC Wed-Thurs romance Run On elicited audience interaction as light in touch as the slice-of-life it was presenting. This one I watched two episodes of and enjoyed it well enough and felt like I would like it more if I marathoned it since there wasn’t anything … Continue reading →

Couple gazing at each other in romantic setting.

I’m so annoyed to be sooooo busy right now with work that I’m still behind on newly aired dramas, including the one I’m most excited about this December the double dose of OTP jTBC drama Run On. The network aired one of my favorite dramas of this year in 18 Again (so many tears and feels!) and Run On just … Continue reading →

Both Couples in Upcoming jTBC Drama Run On Sparking with Restrained Chemistry in New Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 8, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 7, 2020
Couples' interactions in various night settings.

I feel like upcoming jTBC drama Run On is the palate cleanser after the unnecessary shipping wars in recently finished tvN drama Start-Up. This one not only doesn’t even have the suggestion of a love triangle, the drama is actively promoting the two sets of OTP and I love it! The first couple is Im Shi Wan and Shin Se … Continue reading →

This drama looks so bright and cheerful it’s almost the wrong season to release it right into the Christmas holidays and winter. Call it counter programming I guess, but the warm spring vibe and adorableness of the leads Im Shi Wan and Shin Se Kyung are really brightening my spirit every time I see a new promo for jTBC drama … Continue reading →

Two characters promoting the show "Run On."

The last K-drama I’m anticipating for 2020 is the jTBC romance Run On, arriving on December 16th just in time to add to my roster for my usual holiday binge. The first posters featured the first OTP set with Shin Se Kyung and Im Shi Wan against a beautiful blue sky backdrop, very outdoorsy and fitting since he’s a runner. … Continue reading →

Come one, come all, come get all your oppa and dongsaeng childhood pictures galore and marvel at how everyone grew up into the hotties we know today.

The first teaser preview is out for jTBC drama Run On and I love the warm outdoorsy vibe. Lead Im Shi Wan is a runner and seeing him outside jogging with such energy and positivity was so nice, and then juxtaposed with Shin Se Kyung as a movie subtitle translator with a quiet job. They look really cute together and … Continue reading →

These drama posters are boring but very very pretty, which accounts for something. Upcoming jTBC drama Run On has an airing date finally of December, after already having two separate 2-week filming shutdowns due to COVID-19 positive testing in the production team. It’s been filming since early summer so I think it could have enough footage in the tank by … Continue reading →
