Netflix Hit K-drama Hellbound to Get Second Season and Hopefully It Answers Questions and is Less Wearisome and Dreary

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 28, 2021 by ockoalaNovember 29, 2021
"Dark fantasy series poster featuring monstrous figures."

I said I was going to use Thanksgiving weekend to catch up on dramas and in a case of eeny-meeny-miny-mo I landed on Netflix K-drama Hellbound. I should have finished Squid Game instead, because oh my god was I bored but also like a runner in a marathon stuck with it trying to get some answers and satisfaction. Sadly I … Continue reading →

"Dark fantasy series poster featuring monstrous figures."

Get ready to be scared, but maybe not of what’s out of this world but what’s even scarier in this world. The official preview is here for the next Netflix Kdrama Hellbound (To Hell), adapted from the same name manhwa. The first teaser I loved for legit showing the demons from Hell appearing on the announced day and time to … Continue reading →

You Cannot Escape the Angels of Death in New Tense Electrifying Teaser for Netflix Drama Hellbound

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 25, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 25, 2021
Suspenseful moments from a Netflix series.

If some viewers have issues and rightly see similarities to Netflix recently premiere K-drama Squid Game to other prior works, the story and concept of upcoming Netflix drama Hellbound (To Hell) appears solely original. I do not recall any other story like it based on the concept and now the first preview. The first teaser for Hellbound dropped this weekend … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 15, 2021 by ockoalaAugust 14, 2021
"Netflix series poster featuring dark themes."

Okay, me so not likey this. My affinity and appetite for horror keeps going down year after year and it’s currently at zombie flicks okay but creepy kid killing shows no okay. Netflix has released the poster and a few promo stills for its upcoming K-drama Hellbound, adapted from the webtoon To Hell. The show has been selected to show … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 26, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 25, 2020
Six people posed for a group photo.

Making this story into a drama sounds way better to give enough time to fully tell the tale. Yoo Ah In‘s upcoming K-movie The Hell is being changed into a 6-episode K-drama airing on Netflix, which is becoming the streaming platform of choice for trendy K-dramas. The cast will also include Park Jung Min, Yang Ik Joon, Kim Hyun Joo, … Continue reading →

Kim Hyun Joo to Headline SBS Medical Drama I’m a Nurse, And a Human Too

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2020 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2020
Woman in a suit taking notes on set.

K-actress Kim Hyun Joo always gives off the impression that she can kick any profession in the butt and succeed. She’s just got this can do and no nonsense vibe that comes across as an actress in whatever role she tackles. Up next will be donning a nurse’s uniform as she’s in talks for the SBS adaptation of popular novel … Continue reading →

Tense and Atmospheric Teasers and Posters for OCN Drama Watcher Ramp Up Excitement for Early July Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 16, 2019 by ockoalaJune 16, 2019
Three characters featured in "Watcher" series.

The Sat-Sun time slot was supposed to be owned by tvN this summer with Arthdal Chronicles but unfortunately the writing and directing is just weird and not engaging so the viewership at 6% averaging has been a disappointment for the massively budgeted production. OCN has always done darker far and now its upcoming Watcher has a good shot at carving … Continue reading →

First Look at Han Suk Kyu, Kim Hyun Joo and Seo Kang Joon in OCN Police Drama Watcher

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 4, 2019 by ockoalaJune 4, 2019
Three people in an office setting.

For a drama packed with big leads the upcoming OCN procedural Watcher feels remarkably low key. Veteran leading man Han Suk Kyu makes his drama return opposite Kim Hyun Joo and the always hustling Seo Kang Joon. The two men are cops in the internal affairs investigation unit of the police force and further team up with Kim Hyun Joo’s … Continue reading →

jTBC Drama Fantastic with Joo Sang Wook and Kim Hyun Joo Drops Exquisite Posters and Funny New Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 28, 2016

There’s plenty that is fantastic about upcoming jTBC drama Fantastic, starting off with the beautifully designed and rendered set of drama posters. It’s rare that I love the entire poster collection, usually one or two at most stand out, but here the OTP romance one is warm and loving in a way that already sells the central romance. The way … Continue reading →

Life Stirring Feels and Laughter Aplenty in New Stills and Preview for Fantastic with Kim Hyun Joo and Joo Sang Wook

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 20, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2016
Characters in tense indoor confrontation scenario.

Hoo boy, this is going to be one complicated watch for me with upcoming jTBC drama Fantastic. In paying homage to it’s title, the previews indeed look absolutely fantastic, with great music and visuals and tons of charm. But then the looming threat of the female lead starting off with a terminal illness diagnosis can’t be overlooked, and feels so … Continue reading →

Joo Sang Wook is a Charismatic Narcissistic Star in First Stills from jTBC Drama Fantastic

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 11, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 10, 2016
Man exercising in gym, looking at phone.

I love the first character stills of male lead Joo Sang Wook in upcoming jTBC drama Fantastic, right now if I elect to check out the drama it’s all on account of him. Joo Sang Wook is going back to his unexpected comedic roots, playing a self-absorbed top Korean actor who sucks at acting but doesn’t know it, lol. The … Continue reading →

Joo Sang Wook, Kim Hyun Joo and Ji Soo Lead Script Reading for jTBC Drama Fantastic

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 5, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 5, 2016
Four people holding scripts, smiling together.

Kim Tae  I so want to give this upcoming jTBC drama the benefit of the doubt that it’ll live up to it’s name and actually be Fantastic, because it certainly has a fantastic main cast in Kim Hyun Joo, Joo Sang Wook, Kim Tae Hoon, and Ji Soo. But it’s hard to remain optimistic when the glaring word in the … Continue reading →

Smiling woman with long, flowing hair.

Main leads are set for the next big jTBC drama to take over the Fri-Sat time slot from female empowerment and growth series Age of Youth. Entertainment industry drama Fantastic has inked veteran leading lady Kim Hyun Joo and leading man Joo Sang Wook in their first coupling and first jTBC drama. I hope it’s funny rather than too serious because … Continue reading →
