It’s a bad week to be Ro Woon but this too shall pass as it’s not the biggest faux pas. The actor attended and co-hosted the 2023 KBS Drama Awards and received criticism for both. For the hosting, he was dogged for being stuff and reading off the teleprompter when his other co-hosts were natural and conversational with this hosting. … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 30, 2023 by ockoalaMarch 31, 2023
Four close-up portraits of a man.

I’m so excited that there is not just one but two Kim Dong Wook dramas scheduled for this year. The first one to arrive is KBS Mon-Tues romance drama with a time-travel and mystery twist called Run into You (Korean title Met You By Chance).

Kim Dong Wook Surprises Moon Ga Young as Guest at Her Fan Meeting Continuing the Most Candy-strewn Drama CP Streak for Find Me in Your Memory

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 26, 2023 by ockoalaFebruary 25, 2023
Two people speaking on stage at event.

This sweetness could not have come at a better time to wash away the acrid taste that was The Interest of Love from my palette. Moon Ga Young did her best with a thoroughly frustrating character who created her own misery time and again and I’m glad to bounce back to what is my favorite character and performance from her … Continue reading →

"Two characters in a snowy, dramatic scene."

There is a Chinese saying of “tossing the dog treats” when it comes to a couple dropping cuteness whether real life or reel life. The two leads Kim Dong Wook and Moon Ga Young went above and beyond during the filming of Find Me in Your Memory in tossing the dog treats and even after the drama wrapped they still … Continue reading →

Man with various expressions in different settings.

After the delayed surprise that was my watching Find Me in Your Memory a good two years late, I decided no more passing up on Kim Dong Wook romance dramas even if the premise doesn’t sound all that interesting off the bat. Sadly You are My Spring was meh but at least I tried to power through it, but his … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 25, 2022 by ockoalaMay 26, 2022
"Two characters in a snowy, dramatic scene."

There are plenty of good (and bad) K-dramas that slip through my cracks, even ones I intend to watch. It’s a thing called real life other stuff and timing, and sometimes I’m glad I avoided a hot mess. This weekend I learned in this case goodness I missed out on TWO YEARS of the best most nnnnnnggggg where have you … Continue reading →

Kim Dong Wook and Moon Ga Young Make Cameo as Their Characters in Find Me in Your Memory for tvN Drama Shooting Star as Favor to PD

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 14, 2022 by ockoalaMay 14, 2022
Romantic interactions between three characters.

This may end up being the highlight of this drama, lol, what with the complete disappointment so far in not getting either ratings or buzz. tvN Fri-Sat entertainment industry drama Shooting Star (or Sh**ting Stars) started with ratings of 1.632% and has stayed in that range with a slow slide even with the most recent episode 7 dropping to a … Continue reading →

tvN Mon-Tues Drama You Are My Spring Hits Another New Ratings Low of 1.940% in Episode 11 as Viewer Confusion Bucks Up Against Artistic Merit

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2021 by ockoalaAugust 9, 2021
Couple sharing an intimate moment outdoors.

I remember reading so many novels growing up, I was basically an English major in literary consumption but chose another bachelor of arts discipline for more practical purposes. Novels are a funny thing, as an voracious reader I was able to discern what was good (i.e. well-written) but didn’t suit my tastes and what was trashy but oh so delicious … Continue reading →

tvN Mon-Tues Drama You Are My Spring Drops Below 2% Ratings Midway Through Airing as Audiences Find the Schism Between Healing and Suspense Drama Not Well Bridged

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 29, 2021 by ockoalaJuly 28, 2021
Romantic scene between two young adults.

It’s another disappointment in terms of ratings for tvN in the Mon-Tues time slot, after Doom at Your Service now You Are My Spring is underperforming in terms of rating and critical feedback though the reasons differ. While Doom was a vacuous pretentious nothing burger, Spring comes across like there is too much going on under the surface and yet … Continue reading →

Couple lying on grass, smiling together.

Newly arrived tvN drama You are My Spring is……interesting to say the least. I watched episode 1 and can’t for the life of me decide if I like it or dislike it. If it wasn’t for leads Seo Hyun Jin and Kim Dong Wook both of whom I love, I probably would lean towards dislike but it’s not because the … Continue reading →
