The counterpart to the Joynews insider poll on the Best Dramas of 2021 is also here, the same group of over 200 K-ent professionals were asked what their pick for Worst Drama of the year was.

SK Government Relations Dept Responds to Citizen’s Petition on Snowdrop and Joseon Exorcist Distorting History

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 14, 2021 by ockoalaMay 14, 2021
"Promotional images for drama 'Snowdrop.'"

Oh thank god there are sane people in the government in South Korea. Despite it happening just two months ago, I feel like the news cycle has churned countless bigger scandals since SBS zombie sageuk Joseon Exorcist got yeeted out of existence after airing two episodes. The bruhaha was over the fictional portrayal of the famous King Taejong as suffering … Continue reading →

Lead Stars and Production Team of Joseon Exorcist Pen Apology as K-netizens Judge Each One on How Sincere it is

Young woman with long dark hair smiling.

I feel like I’m in a Twilight Zone with what’s happening around Joseon Exorcist. Having not lived through the censorship terrors in various countries through modern world history doesn’t mean I didn’t learn my history and further cherish the freedom of democratized cultures for the seemingly inviolable protections of differences in opinion and creative exploration in the arts. The cast … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 25, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 25, 2021
Traditional Korean artwork and food scene.

There are too many different elements at play with the controversy around Joseon Exorcist, some understandable and others just nonsense of letting the jingoistic minority perform cancel culture on things that likely happened in history they simply don’t like/accept. After airing only 2 episodes, SBS has announced that it will be cancelling the remainder of the drama after first considering … Continue reading →

Cancel culture has come to South Korean dramas not just on the behavior of actors and actresses in real life but on scenes, props, and narratives in the show itself. SBS premiered highly publicized zombie sageuk Joseon Exorcist this Monday and immediately the drama descended into controversy. I haven’t watched the show yet, planning to binge this weekend, but when … Continue reading →

Dramatic poster collage of historical characters.

I’m so looking forward to SBS sageuk Joseon Exorcist less for the zombie aspect but solely for the amazing cast and to find a good sageuk. I’m super sad my most anticipated River Where the Moon Rises didn’t have a strong script or directing and now further falls apart with the replacement of the male lead. I’m a tad worried … Continue reading →

I love Jang Dong Yoon but it feels like his three most recent K-dramas are venn diagrams. Tale of Nokdu he played an discarded prince in a Joseon, Search he’s a soldier hunting zombies in the DMZ, and now in upcoming Joseon Exorcist he’s a prince hunting zombies in Joseon. Despite his baby face he’s quite suitable for action pieces … Continue reading →

While COVID-19 has been in the news for a full year now there are ebbs and peaks depending on so-called spikes which seems to be like Groundhog’s Day.
