SBS Zombie Sageuk Joseon Exorcist Releases Movie Quality Character Posters and New Gory Action Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 14, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2021
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 →

There’s a whole lot of new casting news around upcoming SBS K-drama Joseon Exorcist which had earlier confirmed male leads Jang Dong Yoon and Kam Woo Sung, with Park Sung Hoon as the third male lead.

Manhole’s Episode 4 Drops to 2.0% and Enters Top Three Lowest Rated Prime Time Ratings of Last Two Decades

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 18, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 17, 2017
Four characters featured in stylish promotional posters.

If something doesn’t succeed then sucking so badly as to enter infamy may be a viable alternative to paddling in the middling center of mediocrity. Recently premiered Wed-Thurs KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feel or Feels So Good) is sliding into so bad it’s memorable for being that bad territory whether it was intentional or note, and frankly judging from the … Continue reading →

KBS Wed-Thurs Manhole Drops to 2.8% Ratings Lowest of All KBS Primetime Dramas in 2017

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 12, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 12, 2017
Collage of romantic scenes from a drama.

What a bummer for the cast and crew of newly arrived but likely DOA Wed-Thurs KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feel or Feels So Good). Episode 1 premiered with an anemic 3.1% AGB nationwide ratings but episode 2 managed to fall from even that low bar dropping to 2.8%. Ouch and kinda not a surprise, I figured this type of trendy … Continue reading →

Four characters featured in stylish promotional posters.

Even if KBS funky drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) turns out to be awful I will always remember enjoying the promos and always being taken off kilter in a good way. The individual posters are out featuring the lead foursome of Jaejoong, UEE, Jung Hye Sung, and Baro, with the unique casting coincidence of having three out … Continue reading →

KBS Drama Manhole Plays Up Weirdness with Tongue-in-Cheek Humor

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 28, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2017
Four people walking against a bright backdrop.

The more promos I see from upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) the more I think the production is as aware of the title puns as the English speaking audience and is just running with it. The whole thing is screwball and that works well to humanize Jaejoong who typically comes across as a too … Continue reading →

Jaejoong Encounters the Titular Manhole in New Drama Stills and Second Wacky Teaser

Man in suit emerging from the ground.

Whether KBS produces an actual good drama with Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good), it’s produces the most unintentional sniggers in recent memory with the English title alone and that’s a whole lotta good fun to be had. Now we get the first look at said manhole, a time-traveling one at that, and the man who will be time-traveling … Continue reading →

There’s the case of seeing something out of context so it makes no sense until it gets placed in the bigger picture. Then there’s the case of seeing the bigger picture and still it befuddles with weirdness. Maybe that’s what the production of upcoming KBS drama Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) is going for. I saw fan snapped … Continue reading →

Jaejoong and UEE Lead Script Reading for KBS Wed-Thurs Drama Manhole: Wonderland’s Feels

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 7, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 7, 2017
Four people making heart gestures together.

  I’ve seen my share of cringe-worthy English versions of K-drama titles due to the translation bloop of language terms but this one takes the punny cake. Upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Manhole: Wonderland’s Feels (or Manhole: Feels So Good) has got to undergo a title change, please KBS! I know tittering over manhole is so juvenile since it’s a perfectly … Continue reading →

The VIP movie premiere for the Yoo Hae Jin and Lee Joon identity swapping movie Luck-Key is a quite a treat for the adoring fans in attendance as many big names showed up.

The Happy Playful Cast of Thriller Drama Remember Attend Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 3, 2015
Couple posing romantically in the sunlight.

The press conference for Yoo Seung Ho‘s upcoming SBS drama Remember wasn’t nearly as cute-inducing as his press conference last week for MBC cable drama Imaginary Cat. But then again, Imaginary Cat trotted out a real life “I could give a fug” squirming fat cat and deposited him in Seung Ho’s arms, so that’s a huge wall of awwwwwww to … Continue reading →
