Ahn Eun Jin and Jang Ki Yong Simmer in Fall Looks for Elle Korea Pictorial Promoting Rom-com K-drama Dynamite Kiss

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 31, 2025 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2025

The diss on Jang Ki Yong is that he has the whole visual package but his acting remains very rote and average. With that said, he always exhibits onscreen romantic chemistry with any female lead and any time I see him do a couple’s pictorial it’s always A+++ level. That means something right lol? He along with female lead Ahn … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 27, 2025 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2025

It’s nearing the end of the year already and for K-dramas there are only a few left that will premiere in the next two months. I’m looking forward to SBS rom-com K-drama Dynamite Kiss (She Shouldn’t Have Kissed) with Ahn Eun Jin and Jang Ki Yong, a totally unexpected onscreen pairing but one that could work.

Oh this sounds cute and a great pairing as well! Since there aren’t as many K-dramas being produced anymore I feel like each project needs to have the best casting ever just to keep me interested beyond just the story which frankly these days in any genre is shades of been there done that. A new romance K-drama is in … Continue reading →

I felt like K-actor Jang Ki Yong hasn’t been gone for military enlistment for that long but that’s due to him having a drama air months after he enlisted, namely Now, We are Breaking Up. That one was a raging snoozer but I did enjoy the one before My Roommate is a Gumiho. Maybe fantasy is his genre so this … Continue reading →

PD Lee Gil Bok has worked on many big K-dramas but only recently got to the head PD chair and I think he’s a formidable talent. He directed Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2 and most recently Now, We are Breaking Up, the directing was one of the most consistent positives in that drama.

There are hot mess dramas and the just concluded SBS Fri-Sat romance drama Now, We are Breaking Up is definitely not that. It’s big problem was that it was pretentiously boring, it thought it was more than it was trying to be, and less than it actually delivered. It’s the even more heightened gap between expectation and reality. This weekend … Continue reading →

It’s nearing the end of the run for SBS drama Now, We are Breaking Up and at this point I’m just wondering how much lower the ratings will go.

Thinking of Breaking Up with Now, We are Breaking Up Midway Through the Drama Which Continues to See Ratings Decline and Lack of Buzz

So I’ve been stuck on episode 9 of Now, We are Breaking Up from three weeks ago, and the fact that I haven’t the inclination to keep watching speaks volumes.

Last week I marathoned 7 episodes of Now, We are Breaking Up to catch up on the drama since I watched the first episode and left the rest on read. I read all the complaints, everything actually felt valid but also personal, the same criticisms could lead to someone not wanting to continue and another not being too bothered by … Continue reading →

Man, I haven’t onscreen couple shipped in like a decade but I still remember how fun it can be when one is super into the onscreen story, romance, and chemistry.
