A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2025 by ockoalaMay 10, 2025
Two people posing at separate events.

In the annals of short celebrity marriages this isn’t even the shortest but not getting past the one year mark is a good sign if you ask me. Rather than trying hard to make a union work for longer before calling it quits, this celeb couple went from married to divorced in a blink of an eye. K-actress Kim Bora … Continue reading →

The future is constantly used as a subject matter of sci-fi shows and movies because there is much to mine in the unknown, and the known about how we think our society will evolve. The drama comes in projecting how humans will adapt and change with the evolution of technology and life spans and world expansion/contraction. Upcoming anthology drama series … Continue reading →

It’s Many Weddings and a Funeral for the Attendees at the 2020 Grand Bell Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 3, 2020 by ockoalaJune 3, 2020
Four women in elegant white dresses.

A woman wearing wedding white ball gowns can’t all be going to the same wedding, unless I suppose it’s a Reverend Moon officiated one. But the funeral black can definitely be attending the same one funeral, and honestly the general blahness at this event it might as well be for someone as obligatory as such events. The 2020 Grand Bell … Continue reading →

First Look at Joo Sang Wook and Kim Bora in Channel A Romance Drama Touch

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 2, 2019 by ockoalaDecember 2, 2019
Three scenes featuring two characters in conversation.

I’m cautious about upcoming Channel A romance drama Touch, not cautiously optimistic but straight up wary about this drama due to the lead pairing. Forty-something Joo Sang Wook is playing the romantic male lead opposite 20 year old Kim Bora who looks her age and then some. She would be believable still playing a high school student and for sure … Continue reading →

I found the nominees released last week for the 2019 Korean Drama Awards already super meh and now the winners mostly meh as well. The only worthwhile wins went to veteran leading man Choi Soo Jong for SBS hit weekend drama My One and Only taking home the Daesang Award and to ratings smashing cable drama Sky Castle in winning … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 26, 2019 by ockoalaJuly 27, 2019
Thoughtful person seated on stairs.

The casting is on a one-two punch speed and I’m oddly liking the leads chosen. Rising young actress Kim Bora is in talks to be the titular K-drama version of Jane the Virgin, which will place her opposite confirmed male lead Jaejoong. K-netizens seem to have a bone to pick with her based on her SNS profile, updates, and personal … Continue reading →
