A Koala's Playground Posted on August 18, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 19, 2016
Casting meeting with various actors and crew.

The stellar cast of tvN‘s next Fri-Sat drama The K2 has assembled for script reading, but one pretty young face is conspicuously missing. Present for the table read is leading man Ji Chang Wook, making his K-drama return after the cult hit drama Healer, but his leading lady Yoona of SNSD was not able to attend since she had not … Continue reading →

There’s a drama casting news dump to liven up a Monday, and this one has all the signs of hitting the spot for me. Upcoming tvN thriller K2 is drumming up additional big name actors and actress to join Ji Chang Wook and Song Yoon Ah, and the biggest of the casting is the leading lady role that seeks revenge … Continue reading →

Final Batch of Iron Man Stills as the Drama Premieres Wednesday on KBS

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 9, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 9, 2014

I’m getting so pumped for Iron Man (Blade Man) which premieres tomorrow on KBS. Once in a blue moon does a drama come along this over-the-top in concept. It requires hand-rubbing glee to welcome its arrival rather than indifferent waiting. I still think it looks like a hot mess in the making from the previews and stills but occasionally even … Continue reading →

Age of Feeling Releases Official Posters and Intense Sprawling Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 2, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 2, 2014

Next week Pretty Boy ends which means the long in production Age of Feeling (Inspiring Generation) with Kim Hyun Joong finally sees the light of day. I’m actually very intrigued both in terms of the story as well as whether this drama has a chance to put a dent in the runaway success of You From Another Star. Normally big-budget … Continue reading →

KBS Releases First Character Stills for the Cast of Age of Feeling

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 14, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 14, 2013

The cast of the upcoming 1930’s period K-drama Age of Feeling (Inspiring Generation) held a press conference last weekend to start drumming up positive interest early for the big-budgeted drama and I can’t say it was a bad idea. Even if it turns out to be a hot mess if more people tune in to check it out the odds … Continue reading →

KBS Holds Early Drama Press Event for Age of Feeling as the Cast Heads to China for Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 6, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 5, 2013

I’m pleasantly surprised by how good the cast of the upcoming period K-drama Age of Feeling (Inspiring Generation or Generation of Youth) looks in character. KBS trotted out the sprawling cast yesterday for a drama promotional press conference, which is about 5 weeks too early compared to normal pre-premiere drama press conference schedules. This early launch of promotion for this … Continue reading →

IRIS 2 Ends in Explosive Hilarity and Cast Attends Happy Wrap Party

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2013 by ockoalaApril 18, 2013

There have been plenty of disappointments this year already in the K-drama world, but none quite reach the level of IRIS 2. The biggest budget in the history of K-drama (consider it inflation from the IRIS and Athena: Goddess of War days), a sprawling cast, a hopping location shoot, and a franchise that is far from storied but did bring … Continue reading →
