A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2023 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2023
Two men in tuxedos holding awards.

Alirghty Airens, please explain what the heck is going on with Lee Seung Gi and his shaved head look? Is it a bout of lice, a second go-around in military service, for a new acting projects, or most likely heralding a new year new start? I was mostly interested in how round is head looked (so cute!) to care about … Continue reading →

Joo Sang Wook Radiates Intensity in Posters and Stills for KBS Sageuk Drama Taejong Lee Bang Won

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 25, 2021 by ockoalaNovember 25, 2021
Male character in traditional Korean attire.

Well this certainly isn’t yo momma’s sageuk. Or maybe it is exactly that, the type of more historically accurate and slow burn long form sageuk that moms all over South Korea watched growing up and still have the appetite and patience for. The younger gen have their fusion and youth sageuks with pretty boys and cross dressing so it’s nice … Continue reading →

New Rom-com Touch with Joo Sang Wook and Kim Bora Airs on Channel A

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 8, 2020 by ockoalaJanuary 7, 2020
Five stylish individuals with makeup props.

I totally missed this but Channel A cable premiered the first new K-drama of 2020, rom-com Touch with Joo Sang Wook and Kim Bora. The drama started on January 3 and airs on Fri-Sat, with the first episodes getting 0.847% and 0.907% ratings. It’s not high but Channel A has been one of the smaller niche networks so clearly it … Continue reading →

First Look at Joo Sang Wook and Kim Bora in Channel A Romance Drama Touch

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 2, 2019 by ockoalaDecember 2, 2019
Three scenes featuring two characters in conversation.

I’m cautious about upcoming Channel A romance drama Touch, not cautiously optimistic but straight up wary about this drama due to the lead pairing. Forty-something Joo Sang Wook is playing the romantic male lead opposite 20 year old Kim Bora who looks her age and then some. She would be believable still playing a high school student and for sure … Continue reading →

Two people posing for a photo together.

This is a small fry scandal compared to the last two months of serious misconduct and criminal allegations roiling K-ent, but still worth reporting.

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 26, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 26, 2018
Four characters in a stylish bar setting.

Weekend K-drama melos are like Thanksgiving dinner, it’s so rich and excessive that I only ever crave it once a year, at most.

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 15, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 13, 2018
Couple sharing a moment in cozy studio.

The first teaser and lots of promos are out for upcoming SBS weekend drama Fate and Furies which actually looks surprisingly fantastic. I love the melodramatic moody vibe, it’s intensely dark and makjang romantic, sort of like a non-cheating mc-cheaterson version of Temptation. She’s poor and scrappy trying to escape a shitting life situation, he’s rich and they get involved … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 15, 2017 by ockoalaDecember 15, 2017
Three smiling individuals in various outfits.

It’s funny but the moment I saw the cast, genre, and synopsis it was like a deja vu moment. Cable network Chosun TV has announced a sageuk romance drama for early 2018 called Grand Prince (Daegun which is more accurately crown prince) and has cast Joo Sang Wook, Yoon Si Yoon, and Jin Se Yeon.
