Usually fashion events in K-ent have a handful of stars attending, if I see six or more then it’s a solid event but this weekend’s Christian Dior soiree in Seoul had easily a dozen probably more big name and popular stars in attendance for a full fete. There were actual drama reunions such as Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk, so … Continue reading →

Ha Ji Won, Kang Ha Neul, and Jung Hae In Confirmed for Big Budget K-drama Curtain Call Formerly Titled Tree Dies on Their Feet

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 25, 2022 by ockoalaApril 26, 2022

Well this new drama title certainly captures the “hire an actor to play a fake grandson” central plot a whole lot more. The K-drama formerly titled Tree Dies on Their Feet is now called Curtain Call and has secured the actors and actress who will be taking their curtain call once the drama is all over. Ha Ji Won has … Continue reading →

Well this is a curveball but one that I’m ready to hit out of the park as well. K-ent is reporting that Ha Ji Won has been offered the female lead in the upcoming big budget K-drama Tree Dies on Their Feet. The male leads are going to be Kang Ha Neul and Jung Hae In, with veteran Youn Yuh … Continue reading →

Jung Hae In Signs on as Second Male Lead to Join Kang Ha Neul and Son Ye Jin in K-drama Tree Dies on Their Feet

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 6, 2022 by ockoalaMarch 6, 2022

Holy hot cakes this is absolutely the wildest casting of 2022, and maybe of the last few years. When have I ever seen a male lead reunite with his female lead but then as the second male lead. Like, whut? K-ent is reporting that Jung Hae In will be joining the cast of K-drama Tree Dies on Their Feet, but … Continue reading →

Snowdrop Ends with Second Highest Ratings of 3.393% in Episode 16 and an Ending that Likely Pleases No One

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 31, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 31, 2022
Dramatic scenes featuring intense character interactions.

The entirety of jTBC drama Snowdrop‘s existence felt like someone intentionally set out to create a drama that can upset the most amount of people while actually thinking it was doing a work of art. Even to the very end, the story conclusion was as expected to the veteran drama watchers (there was no other ending possible), but for those … Continue reading →

jTBC Drama Snowdrop Ends This Weekend and So Does My Regular Date with Jung Hae In’s Biceps and Emotive Eyes

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 28, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 28, 2022

It’s kinda ironic that after all that hullabaloo around jTBC Sat-Sun drama Snowdrop it will likely end with a whimper and a sigh. No one protesting and not much people watching left. It’s okay though, the ardent fans can still cheer on their Jisoo and the casual fans hopefully get a satisfying ending for those who like the story. I’ve … Continue reading →

K-netizen Sentiment Finally Turns Back Towards jTBC Drama Snowdrop After Multiple Episodes Reveal it’s a North Korean Hostage Drama and Not Distorting the History of the Student Democracy Movement of the late 1980’s

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 22, 2022
Two people in a church, emotional conversation.

The saga of jTBC drama Snowdrop will be one for the history books in terms of it being a Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride sort of misconception combined with miscommunication. After 7-episodes worth of storytelling showing that the drama is really a North Korean soldiers hostage taking of a female student dorm combination with politics as a backdrop, there can be … Continue reading →

Jisoo and Jung Hae In Snapping Pics of Each Other on a Rooftop is the Cutest Thing in Snowdrop So Far

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 14, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 14, 2022
Intense gaze between two characters.

Man, I like just one thing about Snowdrop and it’s probably the least likely to happen thing, which is the OTP having a happy ending. It’s a turd bucket of a drama in terms of set up and story line and characterization but after watching the first half the two leads Jung Hae In and Jisoo are actually quite cute … Continue reading →

Jung Hae In is the Main Good Thing in a Perplexingly Mediocre Drama Catching Up on jTBC’s Snowdrop Through Episode 9

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 10, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 9, 2022

So I’m all caught up on Snowdrop through this weekend’s episodes 8-9, which helps now to review the drama on its actual narrative, acting, and directorial merits rather than following along with the controversy. Main takeaways are that Jisoo is not good enough at acting to carry a serious drama as the female lead but nowhere near abysmally awful, her … Continue reading →

jTBC Drama Snowdrop Controversy Appears to be Petering Out with K-netizens as the Series Starts to Gain Traction on Disney+ with Asian Viewers

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 6, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 7, 2022
Intense gaze between two characters.

It’s only the third week of airing for jTBC Fri-Sat period romance and spy drama Snowdrop but goodness it feels like a lifetime’s worth of controversy and news ink spilled on said controversy. There was even a lawsuit and an injunction ruling all in the span of one week! I haven’t heard anymore complaints from K-netizens domestically this week but … Continue reading →

Seoul Court Denies Injunction Request in Lawsuit Filed by Korean Civic Rights Group to Stop jTBC From Airing Snowdrop

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 29, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 29, 2021
Couple in dimly lit room sharing a moment.

I think jTBC did not set out to give a different take on the late 1980’s student democracy protests and the actions of the military government in cracking down but it ended up shooting itself in the foot regardless with Snowdrop. By combining that real life era and events with a made up North Korean spy in South Korea fiction, … Continue reading →

Beleaguered jTBC Drama Snowdrop Ratings Fall to 1% Range in Episodes 3-4 as Acting Criticism of Female Lead Jisoo Rises

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 26, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 26, 2021
Man and woman on bicycle, romantic scene.

So this weekend there are new topics to discuss about jTBC weekend drama Snowdrop outside of K-netizens wanting to yeet it out of existence for distorting sensitive aspects of modern South Korean history on the student democracy movement of the 1980s. The first is the ratings, which appear to be in a freefall, or as the very glib K-netz say … Continue reading →

jTBC Issues Statement Saying Allegations of Distortion of History are Not True in the Plot and Further Episodes Will Clarify It and Vows Not to Cancel the Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 21, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 21, 2021

Hahaha, talk about doubling down HARD! After four days of media and netizen bashing on the first two episode plot and set up of 1980’s romance drama Snowdrop being exactly what it was feared to be, a distortion of the events of the 1980’s democracy movement where the male lead is actually a North Korean spy and the second male … Continue reading →
