tvN Mon-Tues Drama Lovely Runner with Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok Gains Runaway Buzz Higher than its Ratings Around 3% After Two Weeks Airing

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 17, 2024 by ockoalaApril 17, 2024
Collage of romantic scenes in various settings.

So while I have been on a Queen of Tears tear for the last few weeks, the recent arrival of another new tvN drama may be worth picking up now both to join the hype train and to add more dramas to watch during the week between new QoT episodes. tvN released Lovely Runner (Running Away with Sun Jae on … Continue reading →

K-netizens Loving the Height Difference and Chemistry with Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok in tvN Fantasy Romance Drama Lovely Runner

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 24, 2024 by ockoalaFebruary 24, 2024
Students interacting in the rain with umbrellas.

I have a soft spot for K-dramas that deal with time travel or soul switching but used in a way that gives the leads more time with family and resolving unfinished business. 17 Again, Hello It’s Me, and Twinkling Watermelon are a few recent faves of mine. Upcoming tvN drama Lovely Runner (Running Away with Sun Jae on My Back) … Continue reading →

Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok Confirmed for tvN Time Travel Healing Romance Drama Running Away with Sun Jae on Piggyback

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 21, 2023 by ockoalaJuly 22, 2023
Two smiling individuals in stylish outfits.

Wow, I can see this very drama premise triggering since it deals with a very distressing act that sets things in motion. Hopefully there is a trigger warning and then the rest of the drama tries its darnedest to make it not happen. tvN has scheduled a new drama with the literal title Running Away with Sun Jae on Piggyback … Continue reading →

This Friday’s Baeksang Awards in Seoul was probably a night of little to no surprises (just one big one) and a lot of satisfied winner picks.

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2022

Some viewers were perplexed why already female lead status young actress Kim Hye Yoon would take a second female lead role in jTBC drama Snowdrop but I always thought she was aiming to keep challenging herself first and foremost. She’s poised to really breakout in Chungmuro this year following her cult favorite breakout in television three years ago for Extraordinary … Continue reading →

Portraits of four young adults in stylish attire.

Okay, now I’m getting annoyed and I really was fine with Kim Hye Yoon being like a supporting actress role in Snowdrop to newbie Jisoo but now it’s getting ridiculous. On what planet is she is the second lead to Choi Yi Hyun, who granted broke out with All of Us are Dead and prior to that was part of … Continue reading →

Talk about a current IT level casting on all four leads. K-ent has assembled a romance quartet for the upcoming movie Similar (also called Agreement) which will star Yeo Jin Gu and Kim Hye Yoon, earlier confirmed, and this week added Na In Woo and Choi Yi Hyun. That’s all released on the movie so far but with this level … Continue reading →

Jung Hae In and Jisoo Attend Press Conference for jTBC Sat-Sun Drama Snowdrop Ahead of December 18th Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 17, 2021
Romantic scene from the drama "Snowdrop."

Last weekend was the conclusion of two high profile tvN dramas Jirisan and Happiness so it slipped my mind that this weekend is actually the premiere of jTBC period romance Snowdrop. I’m actually nervous about this drama because of all the early furor over the plot by the K-netizens back in March during the Joseon Exorcist debacle, with accusations that … Continue reading →

Romantic scene from the drama "Snowdrop."

Now this is much better! The latest preview dropped for jTBC drama Snowdrop as it starts the two week countdown to premiere day on December 18th. Instead of the cheesy OTP focused earlier previews that made Jung Hae In look like a princely school boy and Jisoo a lovestruck dim school girl, there’s an actual plot with this preview and … Continue reading →

tvN Premieres New Unabashedly Comedic and Earnest Mon-Tues Sageuk Secret Royal Inspector and Joy to 4.961% Promising Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 9, 2021 by ockoalaNovember 9, 2021
Couple in traditional clothing, outdoor setting.

The Mon-Tues time slot for tvN has been weak for the past year, not since Record of Youth has it really delivered solid dramas and/or rating hits. I’ve only liked Awaken (Night and Day) since then but the other dramas in that period include Birthcare Center, LUCA, Doom at Your Service, You are My Spring, Navillera, and most recently High … Continue reading →

tvN Youth Sageuk Secret Royal Inspector Joy Releases More Comedic Stills and Previews as Expectation Set at Silly and Sweet

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 25, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 24, 2021
"Traditional Korean setting with characters in costume."

Expectation will be this drama’s best friend if it succeeds and it has a chance. Upcoming tvN sageuk drama Secret Royal Inspector Joy is giving off full blown comedy vibes, physical, verbal, and supremely silly especially in a sageuk setting almost like a fish out of water. There was the same vibe in the first few episodes of Queen Cheorin … Continue reading →

Taecyeon and Kim Hye Yoon Sparkle with Comedic Chemistry in New Posters and Preview for tvN Sageuk Inspector Joy

Person in traditional attire at celebration.

Every time I see the title of tvN sageuk Inspector Joy I read it as Inspector Gadget which totally dates me but ah those were the idyllic times of after school cartoons. A good hearted bumbling inspector is what I also expect from this sageuk which combines Taecyeon as the titular inspector and Kim Hye Yoon as a woman named … Continue reading →
