Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Yong Do the Noona-Dongsaeng Romance in K-drama Now, We Are Breaking Up

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 10, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 10, 2021
Four individuals in a stylish portrait.

The casting musical chairs went around multiple times for upcoming melo-romance Now, We Are Breaking Up and the leading lady ended up being the very first name offered the role. Song Hye Kyo will indeed be the female lead of the drama with the production reportedly heavily persuading her because she was the actress they envisioned for the character. Joining … Continue reading →

First Stills of Jang Ki Yong and Hyeri for tvN Gumiho Romance K-drama Falling Cohabitation

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 4, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 5, 2020
Two young stars posing for the camera.

Okay, this drama sounds like a mash up off Goblin’s cohabitation element and Tale of Gumiho‘s fox bead aspect, and Tale of Gumiho ended up being a stupid and lame mashup of Goblin and Hotel Del Luna. I would castigate this drama for retreading except it’s based on a manhwa as tvN will air the K-drama adaptation of Falling Cohabitation … Continue reading →

Looks like the gumiho is back in the spotlight for the current drama cycle. Another gumiho themed K-drama has finished casting and will be on deck in early 2021 hopefully. Falling Cohabitation (Terrifying Cohabitation) is adapted from the same name webtoon and talks about a girl who swallows a male gumiho’s magical orb and they have to live together.

Three friends taking a playful selfie together.

Talk about a new boyband in the making! K-actor Woo Do Hwan is mere days away from enlisting in the military so better strike while the iron is hot and provide as much goodies to his fans as he can to tide them over.

It’s a busy week with K-drama casting dropping like candy from the sky. First up is veteran Ji Sung who takes on dramas when wifey Lee Bo Young isn’t working as the two top stars switch on and off to be home with their little daughters.

Born Again Ends with Low Ratings and Complete and Utter Narrative Crap as Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk Swan Through the Crazy

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 9, 2020 by ockoalaJune 10, 2020
Three characters expressing emotions in different settings.

If you give Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen the phone book to read the consummate thespians would make it sound interesting. That’s the true test of an actor or actress, to rise above crap and still come out smelling like roses in a terribly written or filmed drama/movie. Such is the case for Born Again, the recently ended KBS Mon-Tues … Continue reading →

KBS Reincarnation Drama Born Again is a Confirmed Clunker with Flat Acting and Abysmally Laughable Story Trying to Be Edgy

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 22, 2020 by ockoalaMay 21, 2020
Dramatic scenes featuring four characters in action.

Well, K-actress Jin Se Yeon continues her own personal curse of sucking in modern dramas and seeing commensurate low ratings while finding success only in sageuks. KBS Mon-Tues drama Born Again maybe should like die again and this time not reincarnate to annoy viewers with it abysmally thin and plot ridden story line. I don’t know if Jin Se Yeon’s … Continue reading →

KBS Mon-Tues Reincarnation Drama Born Again Gets Low Ratings Opposite to High Level of Story Stupidity

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 28, 2020 by ockoalaApril 28, 2020
Students discussing while reading and studying outdoors.

I can’t believe Jang Ki Yong passed on Record of Youth for this drama Born Again, because even if Youth fails and isn’t that good it cannot be as totally and wholly stupid as Born Again hahahah. This drama is so awful and yet it’s awful enough that its entertaining to watch, I can’t explain why logically just that I … Continue reading →

Drama Posters for KBS Drama Born Again Sell the Love Triangle Between Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 15, 2020 by ockoalaApril 15, 2020
Three individuals posing dramatically together.

Dang, I’m getting so excited about KBS Mon-Tues drama Born Again, probably because I think both male leads Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk are so charismatic in different ways. Also I’m not in the camp of thinking Jin Se Yeon is the worst actress to walk the earth, she’s not bad in the right roles and with the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 13, 2020 by ockoalaApril 13, 2020
Couple in a bookstore during rainy evening.

Next week is the arrival of KBS Mon-Tues reincarnation romance thriller drama Born Again, starring Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk. I’m actually quite interested in this drama, the concept has plenty of angst to milk and it’s all coming from male lead Jang Ki Yong based on how beaten down but still smexy he looks … Continue reading →

Woman's face with man in the background.

The premiere date is still on track and fingers-crossed the filming remains smooth for upcoming KBS reincarnation romance and thriller triple feature K-drama Born Again. It’s a bibimbap of K-drama genre ideas smushed together and not clear which element will carry more of the mood but I’m all for the sad sack romance between leads Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 25, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2020
Four stylish individuals in urban settings.

When I see the stills for the modern day versions of the three leads for upcoming KBS drama Born Again, I just marvel at their perfectly tailored outfits and impeccably chic winter coats. Then you plunk the leads into the 80s during their first go-around, before the whole death and reincarnation thingie, and it’s all grungie and dorky. Jang Ki … Continue reading →

Three people posing at an event.

Who knew that nearly ten years later the iconic shag and country boy look of Kim Soo Hyun in early Dream High would be resurrected in its entirety for a new generation of viewers. K-actor Jang Ki Yong‘s first look is out for the drama Born Again, and he clearly has never seen a stylist so perhaps the rebirth is … Continue reading →
