A Koala's Playground Posted on March 30, 2024 by ockoalaMarch 30, 2024
Two hosts engaged in lively conversation.

My hats off to the MBC Fri-Sat drama Wonderful World for being a slow and sure storyteller and getting the recognition. The drama debuted with 5% ratings and the most recent episode 11 got over 11%, doubling the ratings with even room for further growth.

Actors making a heart shape together.

So I think the best way to approach this weird casting trio is to keep and open mind and a “surprise me!” approach. The leads are set for upcoming K-drama Wonderful World, with Kim Nam Joo, Cha Eun Woo, and Kim Kang Woo. She plays a successful newswoman who loses her young son and cannot deal with the perpetrator getting … Continue reading →

Okay, I think K-netizens are freaking out about this casting for the wrong reason because I don’t think there will be a love line coming.

K-stars Attend Louis Vuitton and Omega Events in Seoul with Mixed Fashion Results

Man with stylish hair gestures confidently.

I feel like K-actor Joo Ji Hoon has been not just starring in multiple K-dramas in 2019 thus far he’s also prominent at many fashion events more often than not looking like fashion roadkill. It’s not just him, so many events lately yield really awkward looking PR shots and make me wonder if it’s worth the celebs attending if it … Continue reading →

Award winners speaking at a ceremony.

It’s only the 2nd year for the Seoul Awards, sponsored by Sports Seoul, but there must either be great marketing or someone knows all the A-listers because this year’s ceremony was nearly as star-studded as the prestigious Baeksang Awards. The big winners were drama My Ahjusshi for television Daesang and the counterpart went to the film The Spy Gone North. … Continue reading →

I feel like I can start copying and pasting from my last two drama award nomination posts since it’s the same few drama names, actors, and actresses making the list. The 2nd annual Seoul Awards assembled by Sports Seoul released the list of nominees at the end of last week and this one gives the Daesang to dramas rather than … Continue reading →

Following behind the nominations for the Korean Drama Awards come the nominations for the 2018 APAN Star Awards which is on its 6th year now. It’s skewed towards the popular more than elite selection metrics but as always an interesting take on what dramas and actors/actresses are getting recognition in a drama year.

The fashion do’s and don’ts remain my favorite past time for awards shows, mostly because I can’t bother to care about winners that sometimes feel arbitrary or tied to popularity. The 2018 54th Annual Baeksang Arts Awards took place Thursday night on May 3rd in Seoul and the award winners were actually quite spot on picks for the most part. … Continue reading →

The 2018 54th Annual Baeksang Awards nominees are out and honestly each year I care a smidge less because I watch less of all the offerings and also the older one gets the less emotionally invested in these show affairs. On the television side which I at least watched more than the K-movies, the Best Drama nominees were led by … Continue reading →
