Two women smiling in fashionable outfits.

So this drama sounds exactly like an aged down Thirty-Nine two years ago about three girlfriends nearing the cusp of 40 and their life and loves. The webtoon The Year We Turned 29 will be adapted into a drama and offers are out to Kim Hye Yoon and Joy as two of the three female leads. It’s about three besties … Continue reading →

Oh this is a cute real life coupling, and seems so uneventful and sweet in a month full of wildly negative news in the entertainment world.

Joy and Kim Sa Rang Swallowed by Solid Colors at Valentino Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 15, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Woman in red outfit with fashion accessories.

I applaud couture brand Valentino for having a clear vision for its fall 2018 collection, too bad it’s a pretty badly designed one that piles on when it should be pared down. Korean stars Joy of Red Velvet and actress Kim Sa Rang attended the brand’s Seoul event this week modeling two different outfits clearly from the same fashion collection. … Continue reading →

2018’s Lowest Rated and Critically Panned K-drama The Great Seducer Mercifully Ends

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 1, 2018 by ockoalaMay 1, 2018
Four people in various expressive poses.

I gotta give credit to the cast and crew of MBC drama The Great Seducer for working so hard despite the awful to watch results. I give it an A for effort (I think) and only ask that the failed elements from writing, directing and acting not participate in future dramas. Perhaps leading lady Joy is the easiest target, the … Continue reading →

MBC Mon-Tues Drama The Great Seducer is the Great Dud with Super Low Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 4, 2018 by ockoalaApril 4, 2018
Four characters in a dramatic floral setting.

There’s serious contention for the 2017 KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels) for worst rated and audience received prime time K-drama in recent memory. The currently airing MBC drama The Great Seducer with Woo Do Hwan and Joy is a massive ratings disappointment and garnering horrible reviewers from viewers. Other than Joy and/or Woo Do Hwan fans I can’t imagine any … Continue reading →

Romantic drama promotional poster with two characters.

I can’t help but feel the first sweet stirrings of young love memories whenever I see new updates from upcoming tvN drama The Liar and His Lover (She Fell in Love with His Lies).

Two men in stylish outfits, engaged in conversation.

This drama continues to look more and more promising, and makes me remember that I enjoyed the source manga when I read it years ago. tvN‘s youth music drama The Liar and His Lover (She Fell in Love with His Lies) released another batch of drama stills along with a longer preview for episode 1 which arrives on March 20th. … Continue reading →

Lee Hyun Woo, Joy, and Lee Jung Jin Cast in K-drama Adaptation of Manga She Loves Lies

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2017
Two stylish individuals at an event.

Casting proceeded rather quickly from when tvN announced that it was adapting music themed manga She Fell in Love with My Lie into a K-drama She Loves Lies. The manga had a successful J-movie adaptation The Liar and His Lover starring Sato Takeru so I am a little underwhelmed with the casting of Lee Hyun Woo as the musician male … Continue reading →
