tvN Holds Press Conference with Three Ladies Kim Go Eun, Nam Ji Hyun, and Park Ji Hoo Headlining Sat-Sun Mystery Thriller Drama Little Women

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

My initial interest in this drama is from the casting of the three female leads but reading more about it ahead of this weekend’s premiere made me realize there is way more critically acclaimed reasons to check out tvN drama Little Women. Aside from the title borrowed from the classic novel and the story also has sisters, nothing else is … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun and Lee Do Hyun are the young leads with veteran Choi Min Shik alongside, playing a group consisting of a female shaman, a feng shui master, and a funeral director tasked … Continue reading →

First Posters and Teaser for September 2022 tvN Drama Little Women with Kim Go Eun, Nam Ji Hyun, and Park Ji Hoo

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I wish this drama didn’t call itself Little Women but then again quite a few Korean dramas have used famous Western work titles and it didn’t create confusion, thinking of Pinocchio and While You Were Sleeping among others. Perhaps this is using that classic novel set up of four sisters as an inspiration, but this time its just three sisters … Continue reading →

Revisiting Yumi’s Relationship with Woong and Babi Ahead of Her Second Chance Choice with Both in Yumi’s Cells 2

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m surprised that I liked Yumi’s Cells 2 this much, I thought it would be a nice watch but never expected to be so emotionally invested. All praise not just to Kim Go Eun‘s delicate and lovely acting but to how the production continued to develop her cells and take us along that emotional journey. New stills are out for … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells 2 Sets Up Two Ex-boyfriends Vying for Her Heart Starting in Episode 11 with Four More Episodes to go

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Chingus! I’m so shook! Like, I love both guys for Yumi and I know my heart will break for one (or both) but at the same time happy with whatever choice Yumi makes (either guy or herself). This is the magic of Yumi’s Cells 2, with the second season continuing the wonderful storytelling of the first season with a new … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun and Jinyoung Perfect Capture Their Playful Chemistry From Yumi’s Cells 2 for Elle Korea Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The story of Yumi’s Cells is already writ in stone, at least in the webtoon. There are three male leads and the current season of Yumi’s Cells 2 is only on the second man in her life. But rather than feel like a placeholder, Jinyoung‘s Yoo Babi makes it feel like a natural and so sweet progression for Kim Go … Continue reading →

Yumi’s Cells 2 with Kim Go Eun and Jinyoung Premieres Exclusively on Streaming Platform TVing for Second Season

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Oh, I hope there is an English-based streaming platform that will pick this up otherwise it won’t get as much exposure and audience access as the first season. Yumi’s Cells 2 premiered last week on June 10th Friday and for some reason I thought it would follow the first season which aired on tvN and then streamed on TVing. But … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun and Jinyoung’s Romance Gears Up in Yumi’s Cells 2 Showing Sweet Chemistry in New Poster and Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I think if I didn’t watch and enjoyed so much the first season of Yumi’s Cells I would probably not be feeling the pairing of Kim Go Eun and Jinyoung in the upcoming Yumi’s Cells 2. There is a noona romance vibe from the stills but in the drama they are colleagues (I think same age) and their chemistry is … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun Blossoms Under a New Romance in First Posters for Yumi’s Cells 2 with Elevated New Male Lead Jinyoung

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

From last summer as a surprise treat what was the K-drama adaptation of Yumi’s Cells comes this summer a new treat with Yumi’s Cells 2 premiering in early June 2022. The first season was an adaptation that stayed true to the original webtoon in both story line and vibe with both leads Kim Go Eun and Ahn Bo Hyun bringing … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun is Pretty and Pissed Off in April 2022 Edition of Harper’s Bazaar

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Seeing this new pictorial with Kim Go Eun confirms why she has been so polarizing for K-drama viewers in her decade long television foray. She is a great actress in ability but she’s not a seamless chameleon who can play any role well. My favorite is when she’s got edges, is sharp, and definitely not asked to do cute unless … Continue reading →

2010 College Grad Classmates Lee Sang Yi, Kim Go Eun, Ahn Eun Jin, Lee Yoo Young, Park So Dam, and Kim Sung Chul Form Legendary Line of Current Hot Acting Talent

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Running this blog for so long there are times I still think the era is X when it’s really moved on to Y. It happens fast in K-pop more than K-dramas and definitely K-movies rarely move the top line. But for actors and actresses there are generational shifts and formerly it was the ’87 line that K-ent kept a close … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun Sheds Yumi’s Lowkey and Comfortable Image for Edgy Chic Couture in December 2021 Dazed Korea Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I think Kim Go Eun will be Yumi for me for the near future, especially with her going back for season 2 of Yumi’s Cells. She deservingly got praise many years ago for bringing the female lead in Cheese in the Trap to life but the drama was so problematic it doesn’t stand the test of time. If season 2 … Continue reading →
