I legit never thought I would see a live-action Surprised Pikachu Face in K-ent but here we are and it’s adorable. The winners at the big three network Year End Drama Awards are usually known in advance, if you show up it means you know you’re winning something. The K-drama On Air went deep in there to start the series … Continue reading →

Man in tuxedo giving an award speech.

The 2021 KBS Drama Awards was the surprising highlight for me of the three network ceremonies, there was so many of my faves in attendance and everyone looked great! Even the black dresses were uniquely cut so it wasn’t so boring, but most of the ladies took bigger fashion chances than the Korean actress contingent usually do. It was a … Continue reading →

I’m sorry but WTF is this? One would not expect newly premiered KBS weekend drama Gentleman and Young Lady to have this type of frankly gross misstep but here we are in 2021 still dealing with really bad set ups. The drama stars Ji Hyun Woo as a widower with three kids who hires a bright young live in nanny … Continue reading →

Ji Hyun Woo and Rookie Leading Lady Park Se Hee to Headline Next KBS Weekend Drama Gentleman and Young Lady

I’ve heard mixed things about KBS weekend drama Revolutionary Sisters so much that my love for Kim Young Nam is still not enough to venture into it (yet). Something about highly unpleasant personalities for the three female leads which sometimes is done on purpose to then later show growth. The network has assembled the leads for the next weekend drama … Continue reading →

Collection of the Tallest K-actors in 2020 for Your Viewing Pleasure

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 15, 2020

I’ve watched K-dramas for so many years I’m almost inured to how insanely good looking the actors are and many who have equal talent to boot as well. Recently two dramas had me doing double takes and marveling at how those actors really filled up the screen with their height in ways that captivated my attention more than before. I’ve … Continue reading →

Ji Hyun Woo and Kim So Eun Both Disdain Romance in First Teasers for K-drama Love is Annoying, But I Hate Being Lonely

I think good things only come with hard work, and that includes romance/life partnership/marriage. It’s not supposed to be easy and that shouldn’t be reason enough to eschew it, especially if the fall back option is being lonely potentially for life. That point of view will be explored in the upcoming MBC Every1 drama Love is Annoying, But I Hate … Continue reading →

Boy does the title of this drama hit on every partnering nerve. I’m sure there are true diehard romantics out there but the thought that Love is Annoying But I Hate Being Lonely driving people to pair up is probably a vast majority. MBC every1 is premiering this August 11th an 1-episode a week drama with Ji Hyun Woo and … Continue reading →

Better Drama Posters for KBS Medical Drama Risky Romance with Ji Hyun Woo and Lee Shi Young

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 17, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 17, 2018
Medical drama poster featuring romance and humor.

Now this is a great leap forward in poster design though I’m still not a fun of the cotton candy bright color scheme. Upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Risky Romance premieres next week now that Partners for Justice has wrapped up, with the network going from serious police drama to lighthearted medical romance. I keep forgetting that this is a reunion … Continue reading →

MBC Drama Risky Romance Drops Colorfully Bad Character Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 11, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 11, 2018
Colorful promotional posters featuring four characters.

I hope the production of upcoming MBC Mon-Tues hospital-based drama Risky Romance spent all its money paying the cast salaries because it certainly didn’t spent any on production and graphic design. The drama stills were already rather flat but now the just released drama characters are just woefully bad. It’s like a kid in high school was given poorly photographed … Continue reading →

Doctors discussing in a hospital setting.

All I know about upcoming summer MBC Mon-Tues drama Risky Romance (Life-and-death Romance) is that it’s set in a hospital about the falling in love of a prickly surgeon and an emotional endocrinologist. That’s as broad strokes as legal dramas being about an underdog fighting the corrupt for justice. The drama stars underrated leads Ji Hyun Woo and Lee Shi … Continue reading →

Coming back from maternity leave fast doesn’t surprise me with K-actress Lee Shi Young. She’s such a hard worker and it’s important to keep up the visibility in the quick moving world of fresh faces in K-ent.
