If there is a lull in your drama watching right now with currently airing K-dramas, this is a great list to go look for some oldies but goodies. Even I skipped a few of these listed when it first aired and always meant to go back and watch after hearing good reviews. K-netizens have assembled six K-dramas that were all … Continue reading →

MBC Drama Kairos Ends as a Perfect Puzzle, Leaving the Marvelously Constructed Story and Execution for Future Drama Fans to Discover

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2020
Group of friends enjoying a cozy evening outdoors.

My Mon-Tues found an unassuming gem that is MBC drama Kairos and my appreciation for its magnificence really hits home today knowing that it’s over. This is less missing a drama I loved for more emotional reasons and more missing a great story, a consummate storyteller, knowing that I won’t have another installment next week. The low ratings don’t bother … Continue reading →

Kairos Heads into Final Episode 16 Still as Tightly Written and Tautly Executed in Near Perfect Dramatic Form

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 21, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2020
Dramatic scenes from a suspenseful television series.

I have recommended plenty of K-dramas that started off well and fell apart, and sometimes so horribly it’s like falling off a cliff, getting revived only to be smashed to pieces again. It’s just the worst because you invest so much so the disappointment is magnified. This year’s most underrated drama is likely going to be MBC Mon-Tues thriller Kairos, … Continue reading →

K-ent Reports on Legendary Supporting Male Lead Performances in 2020 with Kim Sun Ho in Start-Up and Ahn Bo Hyun in Kairos

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 19, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 16, 2020

This article is literally the most obvious topic with zero surprise but it’s still nice to acknowledge the well-earned success of both talented actors. K-ent this week wrote an article on the “legendary level” of supporting male lead performances turned in by two actors in 2020: Kim Sun Ho in Start-Up and Ahn Bo Hyun in Kairos and Itaewon Class. … Continue reading →

MBC Preempts Kairos Again this Monday Due to Baseball and Will Air Two Episodes 7-8 on Tuesday

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2020
Dramatic scenes from a suspenseful television series.

I want to put MBC in the corner because they keep screwing the excellent Mon-Tues drama Kairos and thereby screwing themselves for ever trying to regain viewers. The network is preempting the show AGAIN this Monday, due to a baseball game, but will air two episodes tomorrow 7-8 rather than just one episode like they did the last two weeks. … Continue reading →

K-netizens Consider MBC Drama Kairos the Best Quality Drama Airing Now, Frustrated with Repeat Preemptions and Low Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 19, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 19, 2020
Man looking at phone, dramatic scene unfolding.

Okay fellow Kairos addicts, who screamed at the end of episode 6 and then wanted to throw something at the TV because the next episode was preempted due to baseball and we had to wait another week. Maybe just me but I definitely have kindred spirits in K-netizens, the MBC portals comment boxes have lit up with fans praising how … Continue reading →

Excellent MBC Mon-Tues Drama Kairos is the Dark Horse Tightly Plotted Thriller Sliding Under the Radar

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 15, 2020
Drama poster featuring three characters from "Kairos."

MBC has been bottom of the ratings barrel for so long that I’ve really stopped paying much attention to its ability to deliver dramas worth watching. Consider me even more impressed with recently premiered Mon-Tues drama Kairos, currently with 5-episodes aired. It’s so good, like a tightly plotted thriller I would expect to find on OCN mixed with the layer … Continue reading →
