Kim Young Dae in Talks for ENA Fantasy Time-travel Period Drama Midday Moon

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2023 by ockoalaJanuary 22, 2023
Young man in traditional royal attire, contemplative.

So those of you watching the romance sageuk The Forbidden Marriage will have to tell me how male lead Kim Young Dae is doing. I watched the first episode, didn’t like or dislike it, but didn’t feel the urge to continue. He wasn’t bad in the first episode but it’s just set up and everyone was more or less serviceable. … Continue reading →

MBC Sageuk The Forbidden Marriage with Kim Young Dae and Park Joo Hyun Continue to Release Woefully Underwhelming Posters and Promos

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 28, 2022 by ockoalaNovember 29, 2022
Character in traditional attire, aiming bow and arrow.

Normally I say expect the worse so one can hopefully get anything better than that and be happily surprised. But the promos for upcoming MBC sageuk drama The Forbidden Marriage have been just that bad that I’m happy none of my faves are in it. Half the problem is the leads though, with Kim Young Dae wasting an intriguing potential … Continue reading →

Three portraits of a woman in traditional attire.

I have very low expectations for this upcoming sageuk drama lol but that’s a great thing because it has nowhere to go but up. MBC is readying for the November release of The Forbidden Marriage, taking over the Sat-Sun time slot from Gold Spoon. Based on a webtoon, the drama tells of a Crown Prince still mourning the death of … Continue reading →

I feel like this casting is ripe for winning the assemblage of leads with no track record of success in one drama but I do want the drama to be worth watching so I will just hope for the best.

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 14, 2022 by ockoalaMay 14, 2022
Romantic interactions between three characters.

This may end up being the highlight of this drama, lol, what with the complete disappointment so far in not getting either ratings or buzz. tvN Fri-Sat entertainment industry drama Shooting Star (or Sh**ting Stars) started with ratings of 1.632% and has stayed in that range with a slow slide even with the most recent episode 7 dropping to a … Continue reading →

Couple sharing a moment on set.

The star falls in love with someone in his/her entourage has been done to death in K-dramas but when done right remains a compelling well to mine interesting situations and dynamics. One of the best was On Air, one of the underrated Kim Eun Sook dramas, and one of the OTPs was the top actress and agency president. It sounds … Continue reading →

Young couple holding nail polish together.

Seeing Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae collaborating in a new fashion pictorial, it’s clear both have model backgrounds because it’s a visual lesson in how to pose and preen, Models have one second to deliver an impression whereas acting is longer and more varied, so some models suck at acting because every image appears stiff and posed.

I’m on such a happy light drama buzz thanks to the early half of Forecasting Love and Weather and now A Business Proposal that this good vibe is extending to a lot of optimism for upcoming tvN drama Shooting Star.
