Five individuals at a promotional event.

With a movie titled The Witch Part 1: The Subversion, it’s already primed for a sequel so thankfully the movie was good and a sequel is coming.

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 5, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 5, 2020
Young woman in various casual settings.

RACOI is a kind of system for value analysis in South Korea, achieved by estimating the value of broadcast program contents based on not only viewing rates combined with viewers’ responses from lots of social media activity (i.e. search, mentions, etc.). Since it’s a combo method, an actor or actress with a highly rated drama but not a lot of … Continue reading →

Short Hair Entertainment Goddesses Entice with Breezy Beauty Perfect for the Summer Heat

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 17, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 15, 2020
Two portraits of a woman with short hair.

I recently noticed that TW-actresses Janine Chang and Annie Chen cut off their decades long hair recently for new acting roles and it totally changes their aura and visuals. It’s been hot as Hades where I live and have been experiencing the usual summer pangs of desire to cut off all my hair, but I always resist because I’m a … Continue reading →

Jinyoung in Talks to Join Kim Da Mi and Jeon So Ni in Remake of C-movie Soulmate

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 2, 2020 by ockoalaApril 17, 2025
Young man in a black leather jacket.

Okay, this is so not fair to one female lead and tips the romance pre-release in favor of the other just by casting alone, lol. K-actor Park Jin Young is considering the male lead role in the female-centric best friends for live K-movie remake of the hit C-movie Soulmate (Qi Yue Yu An Sheng). The female leads are Kim Da … Continue reading →

jTBC Drama Itaewon Class Ends with 16.548% Along with Park Bo Gum Cameo and A-list Arrival for Park Seo Joon

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 21, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 21, 2020
Collage of emotional restaurant scenes and interactions.

There’s no denying it now, K-actor Park Seo Joon is officially an A-lister and totally deserving of it. His headlining jTBC drama Itaewon Class finished this Saturday with a ratings high 16.548% which is a series high though not a network high as Sky Castle retains both the jTBC crown and the cable networks crown. The final episode seemed to make … Continue reading →

Kim Da Mi Shines in Peachy Joy for Cosmopolitan Korea Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 6, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 5, 2020
Model with playful expression against pink background.

I find Kim Da Mi a revelation. She is so so good as an actress for someone so young and with so few projects on her resume. But what she has done she’s picked smartly, with her most current drama the incredibly successful Itaewon Class. She’s the new face of Benefit cosmetics in the latest Cosmopolitan Korea pictorial and I … Continue reading →

Hyun Bin Leads February 2020 K-star Brand Rankings Followed by Park Seo Joon and Kim Da Mi

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 2, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 1, 2020
Two characters from a Korean drama series.

The leads of Crash Landing on You and Itaewon Class dominated the February 2020 actor/actress brand rankings in South Korea. But the three youngsters of Itaewon played spoiler to keeping the OTP of crash apart on the poll position, lol. First place is the North Korean officer himself Hyun Bin, followed by all three Itaewon leads Park Seo Joon in … Continue reading →

Itaewon Class Hits 14.760% in Episode 10 and Holds Mid-airing Press Conference to Showcase Main Cast

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 1, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 2, 2020
Two people in separate indoor settings.

I haven’t seen the mid-premiere press conference these days, years really, as drama ratings are mostly so level or low there’s no point in trotting out the leads for a meet-and-greet with the press if there is no way to gain more ratings for the second half. jTBC phenom Itaewon Class definitely breaks lots of records and molds so makes … Continue reading →

Park Seo Joon’s jTBC Drama Itaewon Class Premieres to High Ratings of 4.983%

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 1, 2020 by ockoalaFebruary 1, 2020
Two characters standing in a lively street.

Woah, this was unexpected but then again probably make sense considering the source material. Newly arrived jTBC Fri-Sat drama Itaewon Class arrived this Friday and dropped nearly 5% ratings in its first episode, taking in 4.983%. That’s nearly 2% higher than predecessor Chocolate’s premiere episode. Audience and critic feedback has been positive and strong as well so this drama looks … Continue reading →

Rising Film Actress Kim Da Mi Cast in K-movie Remake of Chinese Film Soul Mate

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2019 by ockoalaJuly 24, 2019
Person standing by a door, wearing white.

When I say the movie title Soul Mate it sounds so generic and I’m not sure if many readers know which movie I am referring to. The original Chinese language title is so much more intimate Qi Yue Yu An Sheng (七月与安生), referring to the names of the two girls turned women of this movie. It’s a movie about two … Continue reading →

2018 Grand Bell Awards Fetes Burning as Best Film and Departed Kim Joo Hyuk Wins Best Supporting Actor

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 23, 2018 by ockoalaOctober 22, 2018
Smiling woman in a red dress outdoors.

I can’t say the 2018 Grand Bell Awards (Daejong Awards) were all that exciting mostly because K-movies haven’t really excited me in recent years. There is still envelope pushing and creativity for sure but the days of Old Boy and The Host feel in the rear view mirror. The Best Film winner this year was actually a film that got … Continue reading →
