18 Again is the Feel Good K-drama of 2020 with Breakout Star Lee Do Hyun and Heartfelt Performances by Leads Kim Ha Neul and Yoon Sang Hyun

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 15, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2020
Three characters promoting a drama series.

I haven’t written about jTBC drama 18 Again since it premiered but I’ve been watching weekly, addicted and totally won over by this underrated gem. The feels it delivers is similar to the second chances sincerity in Thirty But Seventeen and the catharsis of Knowing Wife, with the entire cast giving it their all and bringing to life this complete … Continue reading →

Two stylish individuals posing for a photo.

Cable network jTBC‘s current Fri-Sat night new drama Falling for Innocence (Falling for Soon Jung) just started last week but the network is nearly done casting for the next drama to take over this time slot. My Love Eun Dong stars Joo Jin Mo as a man who can’t let go of his first love played by Kim Sa Rang, who … Continue reading →

Long Preview for Kill Me Heal Me Impresses with Energy and Intensity

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 6, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 6, 2015

Tomorrow is the first test for Kill Me Heal Me as it premieres to start off the 2015 K-drama year after a ratings dismal 2014 year for prime time dramas. The toughest competition in Pinocchio heads into the final few episodes which may leave an opening for audiences to migrate over to KMHM for something to pick up after Pinocchio … Continue reading →

Press Conference and Preview for Episode 1 of Kill Me Heal Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 5, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 5, 2015

Kill Me Heal Me finally arrives this week after a production process akin to that recent news story of a family finding grandpa expired and was just about to bury him when he revived hale and hearty. I’m so ready for the fresh blood infusion so bring it on, 7 personalities and medical ethics boundary crossing and all! The cast … Continue reading →

Kill Me Heal Me Hits a Total Win on Four Different Pretty Drama Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 4, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 4, 2015

The first new prime time K-drama out of the gate in 2015 is really starting off on the right foot by tantalizing with so many pretty drama posters. I get the impression that effort has been taken to portray a warm loving mood with Kill Me Heal Me and the results make me want to watch the drama more. That, … Continue reading →

Kill Me Heal Me Keeps on Dropping Promising Character Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 28, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 28, 2014

I have to give Kill Me Heal Me credit for fixing the leak on a sinking ship. Or perhaps MBC pulled some strings to get leads Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum onboard so late in the game to spice up the joint. The first stills are also unexpectedly decent, all in all this hot mess is looking like it … Continue reading →

Jo In Sung Wins the Daesang at the 2014 APAN Star Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2014

I posted two weeks ago about the nominees for the 2014 APAN Star Awards and how some choices were pretty legit while others strangely unfathomable. Pretty much the usual when it comes to acting awards in Korean drama entertainment. Last night the ceremony was held and this time I totally approve as Jo In Sung walked away with the Daesang … Continue reading →

Sleek Action-packed Second Teaser for Full Sun with Yoon Kye Sang and Han Ji Hye

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 30, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 30, 2014

While folks watching KBS on Mon-Tues may be hand wringing over next week’s ending to Prime Minister and I, I’m taking a break from over-analyzing that drama with a breather to check out the just released second teaser for its follow up drama Full Sun (Beyond the Clouds). Still not feeling the English title one whit. With this drama heading … Continue reading →

Full Sun Gets English Title Beyond the Clouds and One Week Delay Due to Olympics

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 25, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2014

More than the other networks, it’s KBS that loves to give its dramas titles that are not literal translations of the Korean title. Recent ones include Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice), The Fugitive of Joseon (Mandate of Heaven), Bel Ami (Pretty Boy), The Innocent Man (Nice Guy) et. al. It’s doing it again for the upcoming Mon-Tues melodrama … Continue reading →

Full Sun Heads to Thailand with Main Cast for Pivotal Overseas Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2014

Currently the cast of the upcoming KBS melodrama Full Sun is in Bangkok, Thailand filming the overseas shoot portion of the drama. Based on the synopsis the location shoot will be integral to the central plot. K-dramas are no strangers to overseas shoots and last year in 2013 there were some high profile such eye candy filming. IRIS 2 had … Continue reading →

Yoon Kye Sang and Han Ji Hye Headline KBS Mon-Tues Melodrama Full Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2014

Despite my love for Prime Minister and I, its single digit ratings is clearly not bringing the happy for KBS and also for the rom-com genre in general. No wonder KBS is reaching back to its tried and true formula of melodramas for the post-PM slot called Full Sun clearly hoping to follow in the footsteps of Nice Guy and Secret. The drama … Continue reading →

The Master’s Sun Releases Stills of Guest Star L and Second Lead Kim Yoo Ri

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 6, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 6, 2013

I noticed the Hong sisters have a hot streak of finding some really gorgeous pretty boys that are relative newbies to the small screen and then giving them good characters to build their buzz. There was Jung Yong Hwa in You’re Beautiful as the perfect oppa, No Min Woo in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho as the hunter turned mentor, … Continue reading →

The Master’s Sun Releases Possibly the Best Long Preview EVER

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 31, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2013

Yup, there is no mincing words here, gotta call it like I see it. The Master’s Sun held a press conference yesterday and released a long 12-minute preview for the drama. I was all ready to write about the sartorial misses of the cast, but then I watched the long preview and every single thought flew out the window other … Continue reading →
