TW-actor Austin Lin Second to Venture into K-ent Joining K-movie Sad Tropics with Kim Myung Min and Lee Shin Young

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 7, 2024 by ockoalaOctober 7, 2024
Man in suit with stylish blue shirt.

One of the more entertaining movies I watched in 2022 was TW horror-comedy Marry My Dead Body, which I checked out for Greg Hsu (Hsu Guang Han) and the premise but left with a new appreciation for second male lead Austin Lin (Lim Bo Hong). It was a brilliant casting of the two very similar looking actors in straight/gay and … Continue reading →

Choi Ji Woo to Make K-drama Comeback in Comedy Family Romance Drama Double Spy with Kim Myung Min

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 19, 2023 by ockoalaApril 20, 2023
Woman smiling at a dining table.

Oh man this sounds potentially amazingly entertaining. A new K-drama is coming that will make K-actress Choi Ji Woo‘s return to acting after a few year’s hiatus post marriage and having a baby, though she had a few cameos. The drama is called Double Spy and will costar Kim Myung Min, with the two playing ex-lovers who join forces to … Continue reading →

jTBC Wed-Thurs Drama Law School with Kim Myung Min, Lee Jung Eun, Kim Bum, and Ryu Hye Young Release Studious Posters and Teasers

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 5, 2021 by ockoalaApril 4, 2021
Group of people posing for a law school drama.

Ratings in the 4-5% for jTBC cable drama isn’t bad at all but for the fact that the drama cost like multiples what the network spends compared to its usual fare so then that type of reception is less than expected. I’m talking about Sisyphus: The Myth, which after I stopped writing about it but continued to watch has unfortunately … Continue reading →

After Her Private Life and Kim Jae Wook, Park Min Young Reigns as the K-drama Female Lead Racking Up Successive Chemistry Wins

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 21, 2019 by ockoalaJune 20, 2019
Romantic moments between two characters.

I’m having a hard time thinking of another K-drama actress with as many romance dramas under belt as Park Min Young AND has also delivered performances that generated strong chemistry with her male lead(s). In some dramas she even sparks with the male lead and second male lead alike! Her hit rate is just too high to be a coincidence … Continue reading →

Kim Myung Min and Hyeri in Joseon Creature Feature with K-movie Monstrum

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 3, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Dramatic scenes from a historical film.

This looks like the perfect movie for long flights, the kind of mindless and hopefully fun entertainment to help pass two hours quickly. Next week is the premiere of K-movie Monstrum with Kim Myung Min as a Joseon government official and warrior sent to slay an aquatic and land monster terrorizing the commoners and causing unrest for the nobles and … Continue reading →

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon Writer Lines Up Choi Ji Woo, Kim Myung Min, and Ra Mi Ran for Next KBS Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 18, 2017 by ockoalaNovember 18, 2017
Elegant woman in black dress at event.

Screenwriter Baek Mi Kyung can wear the achievement of lifting cable network jTBC to new drama heights after doing successively bigger hits there from My Love Eundong to Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and the latest with Women of Dignity. Unlike Park Hye Ryun who I finally concede sticks with what works and has grown progressively lackluster, Baek Mi Kyung’s … Continue reading →

Hyeri Confirmed for Joseon K-movie Water Monster with Kim Myung Min in Talks as Male Lead

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 21, 2017 by ockoalaMarch 21, 2017
Person in light blue coat smiling softly.

This sounds like a potentially fun new K-movie in the works, even if the casting keeps with the current trend of pairing together an established critically acclaimed veteran with a popular young thing still learning the acting ropes. Girl’s Day‘s Hyeri is making her big screen debut in a splashy way with the sageuk supernatural comedy movie Water Monster (Mulgae). … Continue reading →

Drama Posters and Character Previews Showcase the Sleek Visuals of Six Flying Dragons

Historical drama poster featuring two characters.

SBS is getting a lot more buzz on the Wed-Thurs time slot with Yongpal, but Mrs. Cop on Mon-Tues is also leading the ratings against its competition. Hopefully the buzz will come back once Mrs. Cop ends this week and Six Flying Dragons start next week. There are new posters and character teaser aplenty for Six Flying Dragons, clearly SBS … Continue reading →

Six Flying Dragons Unfurls Visually Captivating Drama Poster and Main Cast Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 13, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 13, 2015
Five characters in a dramatic, historical setting.

Now this is what I’m talking about when I ask for an intense drama to live up to it’s visual awareness. More often than not drama productions produce posters that are merely serviceable and do nothing in service of selling an experience that viewers will want to check out. A good drama poster can be such a powerful took in and … Continue reading →

Six Flying Dragons Unveils Imposing and Charismatic Drama Stills of All the Male Leads

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 9, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 9, 2015
Person in traditional attire with a sword.

SBS promised me Six Flying Dragons, but from the completed set of drama stills of all the leading men I only count five. Which leads me to assume Shin Se Kyung‘s female lead is the sole lady of the bunch and the final dragon, which is cool by me. After swooning over sexy in black Yoo Ah In as Lee … Continue reading →

Yoo Ah In is Intense and Kingly in First Stylish Teaser for Six Flying Dragons

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 25, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 24, 2015
Historical drama promotional images and text.

SBS doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to sageuks, with rival network MBC always putting out at least one long sageuk a year and KBS doing well with shorter and buzzier fusion sageuks. Keeping that in mind, I am so so soooooo excited about upcoming Mon-Tues long sageuk Six Flying Dragons, which will take over for Mrs. … Continue reading →

SBS Sageuk Six Dragons Flying Courting Kim Myung Min to Play Jeong Do Jeon

Man in striped sweater outdoors, thoughtful pose.

In less than 24-hours, SBS has declared a serious intention to make a sageuk statement this year. The network has started preparing for upcoming 50-episode long sageuk Six Dragons Flying by first making waves with the casting. The first named attached to the drama is young actor Yoo Ah In, who is considering the offer to star in what may … Continue reading →

Lawyer Redemption Drama A New Leaf with Kim Myung Min Premieres this Wed on MBC

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 29, 2014 by ockoalaApril 29, 2014

I love Kim Myung Min’s acting and in dramas alone he’s tackled so many indelible archetypes and made each on completely different. It’s high time he’s played a lawyer and tomorrow MBC premieres it’s transformed-man-legal-drama A New Leaf (Repentance). Co-starring Park Min Young, Kim Sang Joong, Chae Jung Ahn, and fresh off Empress Ki playing fan favorite Tal Tal Jin Yi Han, … Continue reading →
