Three individuals posing together.

I’m still sad that rising young actor Ahn Hyo Seob, who is currently nailing it in SBS drama Thirty But Seventeen, turned down the male lead role in upcoming teen romance Love Alarm. The pairing of him with Love Alarm confirmed leading lady Kim So Hyun seemed like a match made in drama casting heaven and now the male leads … Continue reading →

Who Are K-dramas Best Ugly Criers – Past, Present, and Future

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Crying young man in traditional attire.

Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it. Over the years the crying has gone from contrived parental disapproval and/or terminal illness to a plethora of reasons to milk those ducts dry. … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 29, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 30, 2018
Two framed portraits of renowned women.

The list is subjective of course but I’m always curious to see if the populace views beauty how I may perceive it. The 2018 list of 30 Top Korean Beauties of All Time and I foresee debate over the top 2 position, from whether either lady deserves to be there and whether their ranking should be switched. The number 1 … Continue reading →

Kim So Hyun in Talks for tvN Rom-com Drama Ring When I Like You

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 13, 2018
Woman making a heart shape with hands.

I’m ambivalent about Kim So Hyun‘s last drama Radio Romance, despite liking both the story and male lead Yoon Doo Joon the romance didn’t fully gel for me. She really works best playing female leads closer to her age, early twenties, and less full grown professionals in the workplace. Her next drama sounds a lot more suited to her, a … Continue reading →

Smiling woman with long brown hair.

Styling still matters even with preternaturally beautiful people and I was not a fan of young actress Kim So Hyun‘s style in recently ended drama Radio Romance. She was playing older opposite male lead Yoon Doo Joon but she just looked like a little high school girl playing dress up. I guess even her swell acting can’t sell me that … Continue reading →

Posters and More Previews for KBS Workplace Rom-com Radio Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2018 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2018
Two hosts in a radio studio setting.

The last I watched a broadcast workplace drama with romance in it was the epic flaming fail of Marry Him if You Dare, and the only reason I even mention that when seeing new promos for upcoming KBS drama Radio Romance is all thanks to leading lady Kim So Hyun‘s curly hairstyle.
