Jung So Min and Kim Yo Han in Talks for Revenge Sageuk K-drama Sunrise Moon

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2026 by ockoalaApril 21, 2026

Two unexpected names are being floated together for a new K-drama and I’m oddly okay with this pairing. Jung So Min and Kim Yo Han are in talks for sageuk K-drama Sunrise Moon. It’s a second chance female centric tale of revenge and straight up C-dramas spate of born again female lead dramas. The female lead loses everything and has … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 27, 2025 by ockoalaSeptember 27, 2025
Bride and groom embracing with flowers.

So I’m getting such major deja vu with the promos for upcoming SBS rom-com Will You Marry Me. I love leads Choi Woo Shik and Jung So Min and the premise, and the promos look so good but so did Love Next Door and that drama bamboozled me so hard with how much I loved those leads and wanted to … Continue reading →

So the earlier casting rumors have come true and K-ent is reporting that Jung So Min and Choi Woo Shik will be partnering up onscreen for a new rom-com K-drama. It’s title Will You Marry Me and is a fake marriage set up story. What’s funny is that this casting confirmation led one reporter to write an article with the … Continue reading →

Love Next Door with Jung Hae In and Jung So Min Wraps Underwhelming But Still Worth Watching Run with Lovely Happy Ending

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 7, 2024 by ockoalaOctober 7, 2024
Smiling couple sitting closely together, serene moment.

The experience of watching Love Next Door for me was a frustrating one so having it end this weekend felt like a release of sorts. Now I don’t have to keep waiting each week for the drama to get better as a whole while accepting the little nuggets of satisfying moments and scenes strung between filler. One thing tvN did … Continue reading →

Love Next Door with Jung Hae In and Jung So Min Heads to Finale Weekend with Happier Viewers After the OTP Get Together

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2024 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2024
Couple sharing a moment in a park.

I haven’t written about tvN weekend drama Love Next Door the last few weeks because I did check out from full watching after the narratively frustrating first half of the drama, and the inconsistent chemistry of leads Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, which to date I can’t figure out if it’s their natural chemistry issue or their acting … Continue reading →

Man sitting, woman standing in stylish attire.

I have been through this so many times before that Pepperidge Farm Remembers and I will not fall for this OTP manipulation in real life to buoy a lackluster drama. But then again, if this is true then it would be the best thing to come out of tvN drama Love Next Door. This week K-ent is reporting that leads … Continue reading →

Two posters for a romantic drama series.

So apparently I do have my limited for watching two stars I love in a genre I love if the story and characters are just that frustrating. Such is the case for Love Next Door with Jung Hae In and Jung So Min which hit midway in airing this weekend, with ratings hitting new lows of 3% on Saturday’s episode … Continue reading →

Seo Ji Hye Makes Cameo Appearance in tvN Rom-com Love Next Door as Male Lead Jung Hae In’s Ex-girlfriend

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 30, 2024 by ockoalaAugust 29, 2024
Three people conversing in a stylish room.

There isn’t a lot of story per se with tvN drama Love Next Door, so it rests on the characterizations, interactions, and chemistry. And so far 4-episodes in it’s still a mixed bag for me. I want desperately to love it and find myself working hard to merely like it, if the leads weren’t Jung Hae In and Jung So … Continue reading →

Two posters for a romantic drama series.

This weekend was the premiere of new tvN rom-com Love Next Door (Mom’s Best Friend’s Son) and I went in with exception but also tempered expectations. Starring Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, the drama started with 4.899% and went up to 5.977% in episode 2 so that is a good sign. I watched the first two episodes and … Continue reading →

Smiling young man in casual attire.

I was already interested in upcoming tvN rom-come Love Next Door (Korean title Mom’s Best Friend’s Son) when it was announced with Jung Hae In as the male lead in his first rom-com. Everything since has been adding on more reasons to be excited for this drama especially with Jung So Min as the female lead. The character posters are … Continue reading →

Jung Hae In and Jung So Min Find Love Next Door in First Teaser for tvN Romance Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 19, 2024 by ockoalaJuly 18, 2024
Childhood moments from a Korean drama series.

I like how the first teaser for upcoming tvN drama Love Next Door shows the leads just growing up together in a very lowkey way. Jung Hae In and Jung So Min are coming to the small screen next month on August 17th and we should all be so grateful to have a rom-com on the way especially when there … Continue reading →
