Woman points at man holding a glowing sword.

TGIF takes on new meaning for me for the next 7 weeks as tvN airs the fantasy drama Goblin on Fridays, and with the college football season done for the year then Saturdays is also devoted to another helping of Goblin in the weeks to come. The network dropped two sets of new drama stills for this Friday’s episode 3, … Continue reading →

Episode 2 of Goblin Hits All the Right Narrative Notes and Ratings Rise to 7.9%

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2016 by ockoalaDecember 3, 2016
Three scenes from a romantic drama series.

So what’s so good about Goblin? Oh, how about everything so far. Sure the drama has a long ways to go, hence a long trip in which to potentially falter, but the first two episodes have been sheer perfection for me and that’s high praise indeed with no other drama in recent memory being this good all around. I can … Continue reading →

Two men in long coats walking in fog.

Goblin held it’s press conference last week earlier than usual so it’s been an additional week wait for the drama to arrive this Friday December 2nd. Only thing will tell if screenwriter Kim Eun Sook will hit her usual ratings gold moving over to cable network tvN, and whether she has once again crafted characters and narrative that will get … Continue reading →

It’s been four years since Gong Yoo‘s last drama, the high profile Hong sisters rare flop that was Big. But apparently it’s been five years of repeated wooing from screenwriter Kim Eun Sook to get Gong Yoo to accept her drama, which in essence means he was offered A Gentleman’s Dignity, Heirs, and Descendants of the Sun before he finally … Continue reading →

Goblin Holds Pretty Press Conference and Releases Stunning 6-minute Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 22, 2016
Two men engaged in a friendly conversation.

Oh my gosh does Goblin look ahhhhhmazing in the long 6-minute preview. I was making nnnngggg incoherent noises at every mesmerizing frame and couldn’t look away for a second. Whatever Kim Eun Sook has up her sleeve I’m certain it’s worth a first look on visuals alone rather than outright dismissiveness over some of her flaws in narrative and characterization. … Continue reading →

Two Sets of Goblin OTP Present Contrasting Charms in New Drama Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 15, 2016
Two people walking in autumn park.

Gosh, both sets of OTP in upcoming fantasy drama Goblin certainly are looking mighty cute together. Well, the main leads Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun are more professor and student cute, and I mean that not as a taboo teacher-student romance and more Rex Harrison professor in My Fair Lady with his pygmalion Eliza Doolittle. The 900 year old immortal … Continue reading →

Goblin’s Four Leads Offer Up Different Visual Charms in New Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 3, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 3, 2016
Young woman reading a letter thoughtfully.

The promos for Legend of the Blue Sea feature leads Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Hyun solely to the point that it feels like they are the only characters in that drama. It’s an approach different than tvN is doing for it’s own fantasy themed tale Goblin, presenting the four leads with varying auras and charms for the audience … Continue reading →
