Watch an Entire Drama Love Story in One Picture: A Visual Homage to Some of the Best K-romances

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2021
Couple sharing a romantic moment.

This post doesn’t need any editorializing, and really just needs to be viewed and savored. A talented and oh so generous K-netizen (doing the drama gods service!) created a one picture image for some of the most popular and beloved K-drama romances in the last two decades that captures the beginning and end. It’s called “Watch an entire K-drama in … Continue reading →

Jo In Sung in Talks for New Noh Hee Kyung Penned Drama After Doing It’s Okay, It’s Love and That Winter, the Wind Blows with Her

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 24, 2019 by ockoalaJuly 24, 2019
Man in black sweater waving at event.

Three time will once again be the charm, I’m confident of it, with the reported reunion of K-actor Jo In Sung with his now drama muse screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung. Or maybe he’s her muse, because the two have done two well-received dramas together already and is in talks for another collaboration. They first worked together in That Winter, the … Continue reading →

Screenwriters of Pinocchio and It’s Okay It’s Love Preparing New Dramas for 2015

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 15, 2015 by ockoalaJune 16, 2015
Four characters from a Korean drama series.

While it’s not a surprise to hear that popular or well regarded screenwriters have pending dramas in the works, it’s always a relief to get some concrete information to look forward to. The Girl Who Sees Smells is a perfect example of everything clicking but for the writing of the drama, and in that case that everything else managed to … Continue reading →

Korean drama posters featuring various characters.

I often get asked to recommend dramas but its so hard to gauge what others like or are in the mood for, whereas I watch what floats my boat sometimes in line with the consensus on quality and other times personally enjoying admittedly crappy dramas. Those wanting rec’s for recent K-dramas are in luck as TV Report just released an … Continue reading →

Smiling couple sitting on an elegant sofa.

I’m so over the Kill Me Heal Me vs. Hyde, Jekyll, Me fan wars, which thankfully died down now that one is considered a success while the other a failure after all was said and done. That doesn’t influence how I much I’m personally got some enjoyment out of both dramas, which skews towards liking each for different reasons and … Continue reading →

Three smiling men at a public event.

Stickiness has long been used as yet another barometer to assess a drama, performance, or character. Some successes vanish soon after while other less immediate wins steadily remain for much longer. It’s hard to say which one is preferable, ultimately even the most sticky works fade from memory as the fickle audience mind continues to look to the latest and … Continue reading →

Gong Hyo Jin is Lovely in First Visit to Taiwan to Promote It’s Okay, It’s Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 6, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 5, 2015

It’s wonderful to see Gong Hyo Jin pop up looking so radiant and rested. The last time I saw her was right after It’s Okay, It’s Love wrapped and she needed rest and recuperation for her arm injury and an emotionally grueling and physically taxing drama shoot. IOIL is one of my favorite K-dramas from 2014 and it’s finally hitting … Continue reading →

You From Another Star and Misaeng Top CPI Rankings for Most Influential K-drama of 2014

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 20, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2014

Television boxtop ratings are still important but less so now that online streaming of television shows, not to mention the ease of DVR recording and other alternate forms of consumption. The changing landscape means the unlikelihood of K-dramas garnering 50% ratings ever again, and honestly most are now averaging in the low teens to high single digits during its run. … Continue reading →

2014 Drama Reviews: Enjoyment in the Good and the Inexplicably Bad

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 30, 2014

Year end drama reviews always starts off like a looming chore, telling me to wash the dish one more time even though I’ve washed it thoroughly already. But then I grow to appreciate it, the added step may yield a dirty spot I missed before, or even the chance to slow down and enjoy the process rather than bemoan the … Continue reading →

Red Hot Lee Jun Ki Fields Offers as Joseon Gunman Leads the Chinese Online Viewcount of Summer 2014 K-dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 19, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 19, 2014

It was a great summer for Lee Jun Ki as his sageuk drama Joseon Gunman was the top-rated prime time drama for its time slot. Overall the ratings were down to the low teens or high single digits across all the networks but this summer did see three solid dramas in the Wed-Thurs offering.

Never have I felt so happy with the decision to stick with It’s Okay, It’s Love. When I hit the cross roads of whether to continue watching or not, right around the time Hae Soo got over her intimacy aversion in whiplash speed after being the most asinine travel partner ever, there was still this kernel of beauty in this … Continue reading →

It’s Okay, It’s Love Signs Off this Week After a Memorable and Aggravating Run

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 10, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 10, 2014

It’s Okay, It’s Love ends this week, a brisk 16-episodes that packed a lot in (some can say too much) and never left one feeling indifferent. This latest drama from writer Noh Hee Kyung, regardless of its shortcomings in accurate medical knowledge and forging realistic and/or likable characters, remains a revelation for me to watch. I seesawed from loving it … Continue reading →

I feel so lucky to have fantastic K-dramas to watch on Wed-Thurs this month. Joseon Gunman has another ten episodes to go and that’s five more weeks to spend with my beloved Soo In and Yoon Kang, not to mention all sorts of memorable antagonists and hilarious sidekicks. It’s Okay, It’s Love just started but four episodes in I’m already … Continue reading →
