K-netizens Calm Down About the Adult-Minor Romance in Twenty Five, Twenty One as the Drama Lines Ramps Up the Who is the Baby Daddy Mystery for the Upcoming Finale

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 28, 2022 by ockoalaMarch 28, 2022
Romantic moments between two characters in snow.

This past weekend saw major narrative good stuff with tvN Sat-Sun drama Twenty Five, Twenty One, which remains above 10% ratings and is headed towards a likely highly anticipated finale two episodes next weekend. This drama gets so much news coverage and netizen chatter when it airs that it’s hard not to be spoiled. There was the lovely kiss in … Continue reading →

Kim Tae Ri Tests Positive for COVID-19, Filming Halted on tvN Drama Twenty Five, Twenty One Until She Finishes Quarantine

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 2, 2022 by ockoalaMarch 2, 2022
Smiling woman waving with a phone in hand.

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 →

New Sat-Sun K-dramas Off to Promising Starts as tvN Series Twenty Five, Twenty One Gets 6.370% and Forecasting Love and Weather Brings in 4.514% on jTBC

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 12, 2022 by ockoalaFebruary 13, 2022
Four actors posing, making heart gestures.

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 February 2, 2022 by ockoalaFebruary 2, 2022
Friends walking together down a sunny street.

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 →

Whoever is doing the posters for February 2022 tvN drama Twenty Five Twenty One is going out of his/her way to emulate Start Up in vibe and presentation. The newest poster has leads Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk hanging out against a blue sky backdrop, take out her popsicle and his can of soda and it’s just Dal … Continue reading →

Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk Pursue Their Youthful Dreams Through Ups and Downs in New Preview and Stills for tvN Drama Twenty Five Twenty One

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 15, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 14, 2022
Two people jumping with playful enthusiasm.

I just realized two dramas are premiering in February that have just the age in the title, lol sorry for not making the connection earlier. jTBC‘s Thirty Nine deals with three ladies nearing their forties and the ancillary emotional and life issues, while tvN is bringing Twenty Five Twenty One with the two leads navigating the start of their adulthood. … 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 January 10, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2022
Romantic drama scenes with emotional conversations.

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 →

Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk Go Back to the 90’s in First Look Video at Coming of Age Romance Drama Twenty Five Twenty One

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 30, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 30, 2021
Two young adults interacting in a library.

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. She’s so bright, bubby, radiating optimism as required by her character a fencing prodigy, it feels like her acting career is going backwards in … Continue reading →

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 December 29, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 30, 2021
Portraits of two smiling individuals.

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 →

First Drama Stills for tvN Period Romance Drama Twenty Five Twenty One with Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 24, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 24, 2021
Girl converses with boy at bookstore counter.

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 →

Kim Tae Ri and Jeon Yeo Bin Showcase Same Agency Camaraderie and Charisma in New Pics

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 2, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 3, 2021
Color and monochrome headshots, loose hair

I’m guessing these two talented actresses were already good friends before the recent move under the same agency because I vibe a lot of comfort with each other. Kim Tae Ri and Jeon Yeo Bin are in new pictures together, the agency released duo shot above and Jeon Yeo Bin posting work pics with Kim Tae Ri below. Both are … Continue reading →

When K-ent decides on their buzzy stars it’s always the same names dominating the news cycle for that period. 2021 is heading into the final quarter soon and all the dramas on schedule have been cast and filmed/filming so it’s time to take a look at what is being watched by the industry.
