Award winners speaking at a ceremony.

It’s only the 2nd year for the Seoul Awards, sponsored by Sports Seoul, but there must either be great marketing or someone knows all the A-listers because this year’s ceremony was nearly as star-studded as the prestigious Baeksang Awards. The big winners were drama My Ahjusshi for television Daesang and the counterpart went to the film The Spy Gone North. … Continue reading →

The conclusion of tvN time-travel and do-over drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) frees up on Wed-Thurs again after being fairly addicted for the past eight weeks. I tried to watch on the days it aired but wasn’t so engrossed that I couldn’t miss a few same day airings and catch up on the weekends. It was much better than I … Continue reading →

Couple walking by the sea, smiling together.

I haven’t been this addicted to a K-drama in awhile and couldn’t have found a more satisfying watch than currently airing tvN Wed-Thurs drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife). Leads Ji Sung and Han Ji Min have crafted characters whose fate and happiness I’m invested in, even when there are flaws and mistakes made and the collateral damage makes me wish … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 28, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 28, 2018

You know you love a drama when it elicits the entire breadth of emotions from anger to happy tears in a single episode. Even more clear how much I’m loving tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) is that I equally love/hate male lead Ji Sung‘s character and can’t wait to see him both suffer for his selfish choices and ultimately … Continue reading →

Historical confrontation with swords at night.

It’s a double leading man treat in upcoming sageuk movie Feng Shui (Myung Dang  also known as Grave Site), the third film in a so-called trilogy of superstition films starting with The Face Reader with the second being Marital Harmony (The Princess and the Matchmaker).

Couple embracing with sparkles and clouds.

The Wed-Thurs time slot for the next month officially belongs to tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife).

After the random negative news about a K-actress dying that wasn’t true, now comes the palate cleanser of happy and true news about a favorite acting couple of mine. K-ent is reporting that Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young are expecting their second child! Woohoo, so so happy for this low key and truly successful married pair of top actor … Continue reading →

tvN Wed-Thurs Drama Knowing Wife with Ji Sung and Han Ji Min Hold Press Conference

Actors posing and making heart shapes together.

There’s a nice pop of color coordination and it’s weird not to be between the OTP. Even then the lead couple look very visually compatible at the press conference of the next tvN Wed-Thurs drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife), taking over next week from the ratings leading predecessor Why Secretary Kim. Ji Sung went with a grey plaid suit which … Continue reading →

Ji Sung and Han Ji Min Convincingly Return to College First Love Days in Drama Stills for Knowing Wife

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 25, 2018
Romantic couple smiling in soft lighting.

I have to commend the production team of tvN late summer drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) for really capturing the warm close vibe of a married couple. Whether it’s the drama posters of leads Ji Sung and Han Ji Min to their latest pre-married college day first love stills, the sincere aura of a couple in for the long haul … Continue reading →

Ji Sung Stays the Same While Han Ji Min and Others Change in Poster for tvN Drama Knowing Wife

Cast portrait of a drama series.

I’m relieved the additional drama posters for tvN‘s choice changing life drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) turned out to also be as good as the initial teaser posters. After the trainwreck cut and paste photoshop of MBC drama Risky Romance, it’s a nice visual palate cleanser to see a drama poster be both pretty and forecast the story. The main … Continue reading →

Han Ji Min Cheerfully Tackles the Day in Official Stills From tvN Drama Knowing Wife

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 10, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 9, 2018
Woman riding a bike in a sunny park.

I’ve given Han Ji Min so much flack for her last drama that it’s only fitting in the drama karma sense to be feeling so conversely charmed by promos alone for her upcoming drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife). She looks so warm and carefree in these stills, I love the greenery in the background to make this drama feel alive. … Continue reading →

Romantic drama promotional images featuring two characters.

The race is on to find his wife for actor Ji Sung in the upcoming tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife), which strikes me as sadly funny that he misplaced her to begin with. I think there’s a what if element about his character making a choice that leads to everyone’s lives being different, and this time around he appears … Continue reading →

This drama lead casting of same generational stars Ji Sung and Han Ji Min as a married couple embarking on an alternative do-over in tvN‘s Knowing Wife continues to look more and more promising. The second official poster following the same blue sky with glowing pinpoint lights flickering around the leads motif, but this time zoomed in whereas the first … Continue reading →
