Lee Yoo Bi Turns Down School 2015, Same Agency Kim So Hyun in Talks for the Role

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 23, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 23, 2015
Two young women smiling at events.

Erm, is anyone else worried that Who Are You: School 2015 having casting troubles may portend bigger problems behind the scenes, beyond the general casting roulette that goes on with almost every single drama production whether the public hears about it or not. While recent hard-to-cast DID drama Kill Me Heal Me proved that nothing was wrong with the script, … Continue reading →

Drama Script Reading Double Dose: The Girl Who Sees Smells and Splendid Politics

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 6, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 7, 2015
Cast members at a table reading session.

With winter wrapping up, spring-like warm weather is a-coming and so are two new prime time K-dramas. To save me the hassle of doing separate posts on them, MBC‘s upcoming 50-episode long sageuk Splendid Politics (Hwajung) held its first cast script reading on the same week as SBS‘s trendy The Girl Who Sees Smells (formerly known as Sensory Couple but … Continue reading →

Kim So Hyun Joins Sensory Couple as Yoochun’s Beloved Younger Sister

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 2, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 2, 2015

This is comforting drama casting news which helps to alleviate some of the earlier disappointment. Upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Sensory Couple, based on the webtoon The Girl Who Sees Smells, starts filming next week with leads Yoochun and Shin Se Kyung confirmed. Today comes the addition of rising child actress Kim So Hyun playing the critical supporting role of the … Continue reading →

Chun Jung Myung’s Busy May: Dated and Broke Up with New Girlfriend and Headlining Cable Drama Reset

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 5, 2014 by ockoalaJune 4, 2014

The month of May was chock full of K-ent dating and break up shockers but Chun Jung Myung‘s situation was a whole side dish of weirdness. PIE was spotted out on a date with a non-celebrity by Sports Seoul and his agency promptly admitted that the baby-faced actor was indeed in a newly developing relationship with a lady love that he met earlier … Continue reading →

The Current Crop of Korean Child Actors Grow Up Talented and Thriving

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 14, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2013

Precocious and preternaturally talented child actors appears to be a dime a dozen in the world of K-dramas, in breadth and depth easily surpassing the other Asian countries and their stable of kid actors. In the modern era of K-dramas since the dawn of Hallyu, there have been a handful of faces seen as the child counterpart of famous leads … Continue reading →

The Suspicious Housekeeper Looks Intriguing as the Remake of Monster Hit Kaisefu no Mita

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 15, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 14, 2013

There aren’t that many Korean drama remakes of J-doramas, and vice-versa. Sometimes both crib from the same source material, but direct remakes don’t happen often. I chalk that up to the drama storytelling style being very different in the two countries. Some think there are more and more remakes recently which is true. A few recent ones are Queen of the … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Other Stars Step Out for the Seoul International Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 5, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 5, 2013

The 8th Annual Seoul International Drama Awards took place last night, and it includes winners from around the world in countries where dramas or serials are produced. For the most part it was K-drama centric but it did try hard to acknowledge dramas in other parts of the world while simultaneously promoting K-dramas. Win and Win, I suppose. I’ll only … Continue reading →

Winners and Pretty Outfits from the 49th Baeksang Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 9, 2013 by ockoalaMay 9, 2013

Kim Min Hee is having arguably the best year of her life – she’s the newest Best Actress (Film) winner at the just completed 49th Baeksang Awards, and her newly outed relationship with Jo In Sung lit up the news cycle last month in a burst of chatter. Any thought that she’s not A-list enough for Jo In Sung better … Continue reading →

Koala Faves Rocked the Fashion Red Carpet at the Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2012

First off, Happy New Year to everyone! Of course that also means it’s drama awards time in Korea, with the three big networks trotting out their ratings successes to foist random meaningless awards on. When I first started watching dramas I used to wonder why the winners of the awards have almost zero correlation with the quality of their acting … Continue reading →

K-drama Breakouts and Un-breakouts of 2012

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 3, 2012

In an attempt to procrastinate starting my year end reviews, I started wasting time pondering random thoughts concerning the 2012 K-drama landscape. Aside from good and bad dramas, I realized I could actually pinpoint the breakouts of this year (and the un-breakouts, those who were flying high only to hit a dud this year), which actually were quite a few. … Continue reading →

First Teaser for Missing You with Yoon Eun Hye and Yoochun

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 18, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 18, 2012

The first teaser is out for Missing You, which makes sense since Arang and the Magistrate ended today though the drama won’t premiere for another two weeks. Still, it’s nice to get an inkling as to what to expect. Can I sound like a crazy Koala broken record and remind the producers that there is still no second male lead … Continue reading →

First Official Stills from Missing You Show Young Lovers Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 11, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 11, 2012

Man, just seeing the first official stills from Missing You gave me a good laugh. Don’t get me wrong, the stills are gorgeous, the two young leads Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun are gorgeous, and the entire mood of the two teenage lovers frolicking in the rain and looking all moony at each other is gorgeous. But can … Continue reading →

Yoon Eun Hye Signs on for Missing You Premiering on October 31st

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 8, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 8, 2012

Okay, let’s do some math here, even though I suuuuuuck at math. Just so you know, the irony of being an Asian who can’t do math has haunted me my entire life. Arang and the Magistrate has aired 16 episodes and has 4 more left. Including this week, it’s wrapping up next week on October 18th. Its follow up drama … Continue reading →
