Official Drama Posters and Third Teaser for Doctors Plays Up the Warm Human Connections

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 13, 2016 by ockoalaJune 12, 2016
Couple relaxing and watching something together.

I see major flashbacks to Park Shin Hye‘s last drama Pinocchio, and it’s not something I sensed in early previews for Doctors but I totally sense it now with the official drama posters. It’s not a bad sort of flashback since I loved Pinocchio and also loved the posters, it just feels lazy that same network SBS resorted to such … Continue reading →

Second Teaser for Doctors Plays Up the OTP Romance Potential, Then and Now

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 6, 2016 by ockoalaJune 6, 2016
Romantic moments between two characters in nature.

The second teaser is out for the next SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, and so far the drama hasn’t actually shown any doctoring in either of the teasers unless you count pretty people wearing white doctor coats. This new teaser switches the tone and perspective, from reformed former high school gangster Hye Jung to her mentor Dr. Hong Ji Hong. While … Continue reading →

The Shiny Pretty Neurosurgeons Hang Out at the Park in First Character Stills From SBS Drama Doctors

SBS has unveiled the very very attractive main cast of doctors in the upcoming Mon-Tues drama Doctors, putting me in mind to fake and illness to get treated by this bunch of pretties. Starring Kim Rae Won, Park Shin Hye, Yoon Kyun Sang, and Lee Sung Kyung, the drama takes over the time slot from Jackpot (Daebak) and turns the … Continue reading →

Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye Glow with Chemistry in New Official Stills From Doctors

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 2, 2016 by ockoalaJune 1, 2016
Two people reviewing a camera setup.

I LOVE Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Seok together onscreen, with their mutual last K-drama Pinocchio being one of my top faves in recent years. It’s present tense love since neither has done a K-drama since, but both are coming back with new works shortly, and right now Park Shin Hye has the head start in timing and incredible … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won are a Visual Match in First Drama Still and Teaser for Doctors

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 30, 2016 by ockoalaMay 30, 2016
Man in suit with woman making peace sign.

Even expecting Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won to be a good drama lead coupling in upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, even I’m surprised at how compatible and complementary they look onscreen in the first official still of the pair. Kim Rae Won looks mature in a youthful way while Park Shin Hye is older enough now to be … Continue reading →

Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye Lead the Script Reading for SBS Drama Doctors

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2016 by ockoalaMay 12, 2016

I never thought I’d see Park Shin Hye in a doctor genre drama, and conversely I’ve wondered why Kim Rae Won hasn’t done one yet since all his generational male colleagues have wielded the scalpel already. Filming started on upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors (formerly Female Gangster Hye Jung) last week and now the production has released the script reading stills … Continue reading →

For those waiting for Park Shin Hye‘s return to drama land, the wait is over as the pretty and talented young actress is confirmed for upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors (formerly known as Female Gangster Hye Jung). The good casting news comes in doubles today as rumored male lead Kim Rae Won has also confirmed, making this an early head … Continue reading →

Kim Rae Won the Surprising Pick as Park Shin Hye’s Potential Costar in SBS Drama Doctors

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 15, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 15, 2016
Two people posing confidently for the camera.

This is an interesting casting possibility on top of an already interesting casting discussion surrounding upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors (formerly Female Gangster Hye Jung). The original title had more flavor but I can see the new title being selected for broader inclusion if the drama is about a group of doctors rather than focused solely on the main character. … Continue reading →

Gangnam 1970 Adds Lee Min Ho Scenes and Changes Ending for March Premiere in China

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 8, 2015 by ockoalaFebruary 8, 2015

I feel bad for Kim Rae Won that the noir gangster movie Gangnam 1970 has basically become the Lee Min Ho show with the lopsided fan promotion of the movie from his much larger fanbase. The plus side is that more people see the movie and that’s good for the entire production, yes? I haven’t watched the movie but the … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho Costars and Good Friends Turn Out En Masse for Gangnam 1970 VIP Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 22, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2015

The upcoming gangster noir period film Gangnam 1970 has basically turned into the Lee Min Ho show even if the movie has him co-headlining along with Kim Rae Won. If I were Kim Rae Won I wouldn’t let this bother much – he currently has the number one drama on the Mon-Tues time slot with Punch and has been garnering … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won’s Gangnam 1970 Releases Movie Posters and Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 16, 2014

The entertainment news cycle has been busy with big name drama castings and considerations lately but one name hasn’t been raised in the mix. Lee Min Ho delivered one of the highest rated K-dramas last year in Heirs, which is still minting money by staying hot on many large streaming portal rankings, but doesn’t appear to be in a rush … Continue reading →

First Stills of Gangsters Lee Min Ho and Kim Rae Won in K-movie Gangnam Blues

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 7, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 7, 2014

The first official look at the upcoming period noir Korean gangster movie Gangnam Blues is out. It likely wouldn’t be high on most viewers’ radar if the drama wasn’t starring Lee Min Ho and would marked a major shift in his acting repertoire. But for fans of K-cinema this movie is high on the must-check-out list because it’s helmed by … Continue reading →

Thieves Holds Star-Studded Movie Premiere in Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2012 by ockoalaJuly 14, 2012

The star-studded caper movie Thieves held its media movie premiere in Korea this week, and in attendance was a coterie of K-stars even more high wattage than usual. That’s not surprising since the movie cast itself consists of some top-notch star power – Kim Yoon Seok, Lee Jung Jae, Kim Hye Soo, Jeon Ji Hyun, Kim Hae Sook, Kim Soo … Continue reading →
