First Poster for jTBC Weekend Drama A Virtuous Business with Kim So Yeon and Yeon Woo Jin About Housewives Selling Adult Products in a Small Village

So this drama actually sounds interesting in that it’s ripe for a lot of sexual innuendo jokes coupled with a more low brow countryside setting. The next jTBC weekend drama is A Virtuous Business with a very strong cast of Kim So Yeon, Yeon Woo Jin, Kim Sung Ryung, Kim Sun Young, and Lee Se Hee. The drama is set … Continue reading →

Fantasy and Lush Period Backdrop Abounds in New Posters for tvN Season 2 Drama Tale of Gumiho: 1938

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 22, 2023 by ockoalaApril 21, 2023
Group of characters from "Guimiho 1938" drama.

The gumiho brothers and another gumiho femme fatale are going to wreak havoc, or restore order maybe, back in 1938 era Korea (not North and South yet) and as much as I was sorely letdown by season 1 I’m like a dog to a bone and curious enough to check out season 2 Tale of Gumiho: 1938. It helps that … Continue reading →

I’m such a sucker for a good period costume and the ones on display for upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho 1938 are right up my alley. Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum are back as the gumiho brothers this time they cross paths with Kim So Yeon with Ryoo Kyung Soo as this story’s chief antagonist.

The gumihos are going back in time as the second season of tvN fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho takes the two gumiho brother male leads to 1938 and follows their adventures.

Filming Kicks Off for Tale of Gumiho: 1938 Telling the Story Gumiho Brothers Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum Time-traveling to 1938 and Solving a Mystery with Kim So Yeon

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 4, 2022 by ockoalaMay 4, 2022
"Upcoming TV series featuring four actors."

This isn’t a sequel and now it’s not even a true prequel to tvN 2021 fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho (Tale of the Nine-tailed). It’s called Tale of Gumiho:1938 and from the date everyone thought it would deal with the lives of immortal gumiho leads Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum from that era. Now the spoiler is out that … Continue reading →

Kim So Yeon Confirmed as New Female Lead for Tale of Gumiho 2 with Returning Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 23, 2022 by ockoalaFebruary 23, 2022
Woman in a white shirt, thoughtful expression.

I feel like this second season or prequel to tvN drama Tale of Gumiho seems rather superfluous in that it doesn’t address what the diehard fans want in terms of continuation and/or closure. tvN has announced that it will be producing another installment of Tale of Gumiho (Tale of the Nine-tailed) but it won’t be a follow up to where … Continue reading →

Well this is going to be a tight two lady race for the winner and it’s trending nearly evenly split among the K-netizens commentary.

Hhhmmm, this drama offer seems totally not worthy of her but if she accepts she can only make the drama better. K-actress Kim So Yeon has been tapped as the female lead of the second second of tvN fantasy horror drama Tale of Gumiho, and her agency says she is still considering it. I still can’t imagine anyone other than … Continue reading →

The Forbes 2021 ranking of Power Celebrity is out for South Korean entertainment and it includes not just actors and actresses but all celebrities including sports stars and MCs. This remains more a snapshot of who had popular/breakout/buzzyworthy projects in that year than the overall popularity and power status in the industry, though it is worth noting if star stays … Continue reading →

The 2021 Baeksang Arts Award nominations came out five days ago but I didn’t have a chance to write about it since the news was overshadowed by the hullabaloo that was the production of MBC drama Time and things surrounding it. This year’s nominations were solid but still plenty to discuss especially with real life scandal with one nominee. The … Continue reading →
