The Cast of KBS Rom-com Dali and the Cocky Prince Exhibit the Same Joyful Energy in BTS Stills as in the Story as the Drama Heads into Finale Week

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 8, 2021 by ockoalaNovember 8, 2021
Group of friends sharing joyful moments together.

Wed-Thurs has been my happy days of the week for the past two months thanks to KBS rom-com Dali and the Cocky Prince (Dal Ri and Gamjatang). There are already so few K-drama rom-coms these years past and even fewer good ones so this drama has become my unicorn and I treasure it even more for being such a rarity. … Continue reading →

Episodes 13-14 Tease OTP Conflict But Ends with Smexy Boating as Dali and the Cocky Prince Maintains Perfect Rom-com Momentum Heading into Finale Week

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 6, 2021 by ockoalaNovember 6, 2021
Young couple sharing intimate moments together.

In nearly two decades of K-drama watching, the rom-com genre has the most unique Korean flavor (other genres can be similar to non-Korean shows) but is also the one most frequently and easily messed up. It’s the souffle of K-dramas if you well. I feel like most K-drama rom-coms follow the “Don’t F*&k This Up” mentality as I see the … Continue reading →

Intense emotional moment between two characters.

KBS rom-com drama Dali and the Cocky Prince (Dal Ri and Gamjatang) has turned into the opposite of SBS drama Lovers of the Red Sky, and I’m not talking about the genres. It feels comparable solely because I am watching both intently and this week both hit the farthest ends of opposite spectrums – Red Sky fell off a cliff … Continue reading →

Romantic moments between two young adults.

I’ll preface this post by saying it’s going to be long (I have a lot to say) and that I LOVE THIS DRAMA!!! thank you very much. KBS Wed-Thurs rom-com Dali and the Cocky Prince (Dal Ri and Gamjatang) rounded the corner to midway airing this week, with episodes 7-8 staying at mid 5% ratings but taking off in every … Continue reading →

Episode 2 of Dali and the Cocky Prince Maintains the Comedy and Warm Sweet Budding Romance as the Action Moves Back to Korea

Young man in pajamas showing various emotions.

I know the Big Three networks still “try” and produce rom-coms but it’s been a steady stream of lackluster attempts that never capture the early aughts charm of the Hallyu rom-com of that era. I can’t say the just premiered KBS rom-com Dali and the Cocky Prince (Dalri and Gamjatang) will herald a return to form, after all it’s just … Continue reading →

KBS Rom-com Dali and the Cocky Prince Continue to Deliver Colorful and Creative Posters and Teasers

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 7, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 6, 2021
Romantic scene with artwork and two characters.

I wonder if KBS tried to start off so badly that anything after is nothing up better? How else to explain the godawful first poster of Dali and the Cocky Prince (Dalri and Gamjatang) followed by seriously creative and excellent ones? The latest after the character posters paying homage to famous paintings is one where the two leads Park Kyu … Continue reading →

Couple posing in front of colorful paintings.

Okay, not THIS is what I call great drama posters, and what a whiplash spectrum slide from godawful first poster with the weird washed out palette to these excellent memorable gems. The character posters are out for KBS rom-com Dali and the Cocky Prince (Dal Ri and Gamjatang) and features the six leagues in parody paintings of famous portraits. Female … Continue reading →

Four people posing together in formal attire.

The last time I watched a drama set around a family franchise of a famous Korean dish, I was craving Seolleongtang all the time as I was addicted like mad to Brilliant Legacy/Shining Inheritance. Now I’m going to love gamjatang even more than I already to (nomnomnom) thanks to upcoming K-drama Dal Ri and Gamjatang, about a high society art … Continue reading →

Now this is more like it! The opening night red carpet of the 2019 Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) really delivered the wow factor with many famous names and faces showing up to support the local film industry.

Stars posing on the red carpet event.

If this week’s sad showing of mostly second and third tier K-stars at the Korean Drama Awards, then it was the exact opposite at the opening night red carpet of the 2018 Busan International Film Festival where I felt so much high profile faces beaming for the cameras. The hosting MCs Kim Nam Gil and Han Ji Min walked the … Continue reading →

Ji Sung Wins the SBS Drama Awards Daesang for Defendant and Lights Up the Event with Wife Lee Bo Young

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2018 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2018
2017 SBS Drama Awards red carpet highlights.

The year end 2017 SBS Drama Awards was really the Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young show, with the married acting couple basically turning the event into their own lovey dovey showcase and honestly that’s fine with me. They are so low key for so long, let them enjoy the limelight for once when both do deserve it. Ji Sung … Continue reading →

Korean Acting Stars Shine on the MAMA 2017 Hong Kong Red Carpet

Two smiling celebrities at an event.

Since I don’t follow K-pop the interest in the pan-Asian Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) is solely on the attendee star power of many K-stars. The Hong Kong show last night was a total win for me on the actors and actresses who attended and their fashion choices. EVERYONE LOOKED GREAT! Yes, there was the usual black, white/neutral, and red … Continue reading →

Whisper Releases Three Drama Posters Mirroring Dark Intensity from Defendant

Romantic drama poster featuring two characters.

SBS ended Mon-Tues K-drama Defendant on a high note this week, with the final episode taking in 28.5% AGB nationwide ratings, just shy of breaking 30% but a major achievement for the production and the network. Follow up drama Whisper continues in the same intense genre and its just released drama posters are basically derivatives of Defendant’s posters but not … Continue reading →
