A Koala's Playground Posted on February 6, 2020 by ockoalaFebruary 5, 2020
"Cast of Korean series 'Kingdom' Season 2."

Woo hoo, the zombies are coming back a month from now. Streaming service Netflix announced today that zombie K-drama Kingdom will premiere its second season next month on March 13th.

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 2, 2020 by ockoalaFebruary 2, 2020
Dramatic poster for the show "Hyena."

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander and in this case gender-swapping would make it entirely problematic. New posters are here for upcoming SBS drama Hyena with leads Kim Hye Soo and Joo Ji Hoon playing rival lawyers. The two new posters first show the two tussling, she’s got her hand pulling on his hair with the … Continue reading →

Dramatic poster for the show "Hyena."

SBS is off to a good start with Hot Stove League doing well in Fri-Sat ratings so the stage is set for it’s successor drama Hyena when it takes over in late February. We already have a Shark and a Wolf in K-drama land so of course a Hyena wouldn’t be out of place especially as the predator that scavenges … Continue reading →

Three men in gray layered suits and coats

Every time I scroll down this post I shake my head, each and every new picture I can’t help but shake my head. This is the weirdest collection of so-called couture outfits all courtesy of Louis Vuitton as the brand held an event in Seoul last week.

Woman in pale yellow beside man in white

Woah, this is big potential K-drama casting news and a positive possibility for me. Song Hye Kyo and Joo Ji Hoon are reportedly offered the leads in year end KBS drama Hyena, not to be confused with the same name K-drama from 2006. This Hyena has the two leads playing legal professionals and ones that revolve around them trying to … Continue reading →

Bad Hair and Suits Mar the Usual Handsome Male Leads at Tod’s Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 25, 2019 by ockoalaMay 24, 2019
Two men in stylish suits at event.

The tagline for the Tod’s event in Seoul this week was “No_Code” but it may as well be “No_Style”. I dunno what’s gotten into the male stars in attendance but imma give them all a hard pass when I laid eyes on the lot. There was so much fugly hair on heads and plenty of equally fugly suits whether in … Continue reading →

First Stills From Season 2 of Netflix Zombie Sageuk Kingdom

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 4, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 4, 2019
Samurai figure holding a drawn sword.

The undead are still roaming Joseon Korea at the end of the first season of Netflix K-drama Kingdom, and in fact are getting closer to a widespread attack. The short six-episodes was an appetizer masquerading as a full season, and the corrupt powers that tried to resurrect a dead king to use as a puppet inadvertently creating patient zero of … Continue reading →

Joo Ji Hoon Lounges and Snacks by the Beach for New Arena Pictorial

Man in denim jacket poses by ocean.

If there is ever a K-ent comeback story more affirming that Joo Ji Hoon I’ve yet to see it, but then again he really had some luck coupled with copious amounts of hard work. Ten years ago in 2009 he was arrest for marijuana use and his sky rocketing career after Goong (Princess Hours) and Mawang (The Devil) ground to … Continue reading →

The Well-dressed Cast of MBC Drama Item Hold Press Conference Ahead of Monday Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 10, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 10, 2019
"Group of six people at an event."

If all else fails with MBC Mon-Tues drama Item, at least the entire cast showed up at the press conference dressed to impress. I was legit bowled over by every single main cast member dressing for the occasion, with male lead Joo Ji Hoon even going above and beyond and bringing actual style to the proceedings. I LOVE his soft … Continue reading →

Three dramatic characters in a promotional poster.

While the big three networks got roundly walloped last year by the all the cable networks in ratings and critical acclaim, 2019 is a fresh year and who knows if a resurgence is coming.

Netflix Zombie Sageuk Drama Kingdom Premieres to Great Reviews and Readies for Season 2 Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 28, 2019 by ockoalaJanuary 28, 2019
"Various character posters for a Netflix series."

Netflix premiered the 6-episode K-drama Kingdom this past weekend and I devoured it much like the zombie hordes in the story. It was riveting and fast-paced, and the short 6-episodes flew by ending with a helluva cliffhanger. Thankfully the second season has been green lit with screenwriter Kim Eun Hee also of Signal fame having finished her scripts already in … Continue reading →

"Various character posters for a Netflix series."

I thought I would be all zombie-d out by now with a surfeit of zombie shows from Hollywood to Asia but it appears I have the appetite for one more, namely the upcoming Netflix 8-episode drama Kingdom. Adapted from a manhwa by the screenwriter Kim Eun Hee of Signal, 3 Days, and Sign, the story revolves around Joo Ji Hoon‘s … Continue reading →

Man in a suit looking over his shoulder.

I was late to the blockbuster two-part fantasy movie Along With the Gods, binging both part 1 and 2 last week so now I’m on a Joo Ji Hoon kick. He held his own opposite his A-list top male leads and now I’m keen to see if he can kick start life back into the prime time ratings for MBC … Continue reading →
