At this rate I think the majority of K-ent stars are going to get COVID-19, I barely even cover the stars who have gotten it in the last few months since the Omicron spike starting in November but it’s just nonstop the news about testing positive. Today it’s K-actress Kim Tae Ri, who is reportedly doing fine and just in … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

It’s important to preface that the two new Sat-Sun K-dramas are NOT directly competing with each other for eyeballs. For tvN drama Twenty Five, Twenty One, it airs at 9:10 pm, and over at jTBC the drama Forecasting Love and Weather comes on at 10:30 pm. That makes for what I love most, each drama really competing with itself, does … Continue reading →

Twenty Five, Twenty One with Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim Tae Ri Captures the Chill 90’s Feels in New Poster and Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I feel like this drama is more suited to air in the summer, or perhaps since it’s telling a time spanning story through four years then it will also cycle through the seasons as the story ebbs and flows so it’s suitable to air anytime and still deliver the feels. Twenty Five, Twenty One is slated to drop next week … Continue reading →

Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk Bring the Push and Pull of a Youthful Romance in New Poster and Preview for Twenty Five Twenty One

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m in the minority as never having a problem with K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk in his dramas, sometimes he’s just passable but other times he’s perfectly cast and delivers. But he’s never bad to me ever since his School 2015 breakout. So having him cast with movie actress Kim Tae Ri who is one of the shining-est actresses of her … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Seeing the making of video with so many BTS moments released by tvN as the first look at February 2022 drama Twenty Five Twenty One, I get a Memento moment with female lead Kim Tae Ri.

Gong Yoo and Kim Tae Ri Offered Leads in Jirisan, Kingdom, and Signal Screenwriter Kim Eun Hee’s Next Drama The Devil

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I would say screenwriter Kim Eun Hee played a meaningful part in why tvN big budget big name cast K-drama Jirisan was a relative failure in bringing in the ratings. There was wonky directing in the beginning but it settled down reportedly, and leads Jeon Ji Hyun and Joo Ji Hoon while not getting lauded as deserving awards for their … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Setting a drama in a past real life time frame is a delicate thing, to capture that experience and weave it into a fictional story well plus doing justice to those who lived through it. It’s a reason the Answer Me series is so beloved and highly rated when it aired, nostalgically using fictional characters to remind everyone of the … Continue reading →
