A Koala's Playground Posted on October 16, 2020 by ockoalaOctober 16, 2020
Smiling young man in a formal outfit.

I wonder if its time to change the name of upcoming jTBC drama Run On, to Run Stop Run Stop. It’s unfortunate because I’m really looking forward for this drama starring Im Shi Wan, Shin Se Kyung, Sooyoung, and Kang Tae Oh with a refreshing two sets of OTP structure. The filming stopped once in August due to an actual … Continue reading →

Four stylish portraits of young adults.

Well this certainly will delay yet again the premiere of a drama I’ve been highly anticipating. Again, not complaining, safety above all, but it’s got to be hard for the entire cast and crew to go back to two week quarantine yet again. A month after production was first halted on jTBC winter 2020 drama Run On, along with other … Continue reading →

Cable network jTBC hit a grand slam home run this year with The World of the Marriage but the magic didn’t continue with successor drama Graceful Friends. The weekend time slot feels like the new Wed-Thurs prime time days, where the competition is at, and I won’t be surprised if the network schedules currently filming K-drama Run On for that … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 31, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2020
Young man in royal attire, contemplating deeply.

I realized that nearly all of the most popular younger generation K-actors have had a chance now to play a sageuk king, prince, or even fictional modern day Korean king/emperor.

He’s confirmed for the OCN thriller-mystery drama Other People are Hell (Strangers From Hell) based on the same name webtoon.

It’s quite a feat to pull off for a star to look better completed laid bare than fully decked out, so kudos to Im Shi Wan for leaving on such a visual high note.

Three characters in a floral setting.

It’s a relief to finally have a positive response to a promo from upcoming MBC sageuk A King Loves, too bad the network nearly negated it with another dose of terrible visuals. The cast held a press conference last week with leads Im Shi Wan, Yoona, and Hong Jong Hyun, releasing a long 4-minute preview that was unexpectedly intriguing. Im … Continue reading →
