Jung So Min Releases Fresh and Gorgeous New Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 1, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2018
Young woman sitting with a thoughtful expression.

It’s normal for K-netizens to note when a celeb couple involves  the male star heading off to military service soon. If it’s active service then the couple will only be able to see each other on furloughs and that’s naturally hard to keep the connection strong and the feeling ongoing. With that said, I sure hope the new couple of … Continue reading →

A successful drama run these days is rarer than ever especially in the romantic comedy genre where it’s basically a unicorn. Just wrapped tvN Mon-Tues romance drama This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life), with less comedy than expected but still chuckles aplenty, held a much deserved cast drama wrap party this week as the final … Continue reading →

I spent last weekend catching up on OCN fantasy thriller procedural Black and gushing all over it, but that’s like one amazing meal compared to the consistent afternoon snack that has been sustaining me for the last five weeks in tvN rom-com This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life). Last week’s episode 10 broke 4% ratings … Continue reading →

My favorite new K-drama is here and Mon-Tues will be owned by tvN‘s cohabitation rom-com This Life is Our First. As suspected when I heard the premise and saw the first promos, this is the K-version of hit J-dorama Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (We Married as a Job or the literal translation title of Runaway is Ashamed But … Continue reading →

Short Hair Definitely a Trend in 2017 with K-actresses in Real Life and Drama Roles

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 23, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 23, 2017
Person in a red shirt smiling warmly.

When coincidences hit a certain number is when a trend emerges and 2017 definitely smells of short hair with K-actresses. I don’t mind but this time around with the short hair trend I’m not feeling most of the looks. Idol-actress Krystal is the latest to get onboard this train and is doing it in real life and not for a … Continue reading →

Script Reading for tvN Fall Drama This Life Is Our First with Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 29, 2017
Cast reading script at a group meeting.

Cable network tvN is now no longer the sole player in the paid to watch market with rival jTBC making huge strides in the last two years in airing popular and critically well received dramas. That doesn’t mean tvN is on the downward trajectory and I hope the network continues to churn out interesting dramas without succumbing to the fallacy … Continue reading →
