Young man in a white shirt, thoughtful expression.

Looks like someone never missed arm day during military service lol. Not complaining whatsoever and just happy to see L (Kim Myung Soo) back on the promo circuit. He finished his service last August 2022 and signed on for a drama set in the world of accounting called Numbers but hasn’t been promoting. Then last month in March it was … Continue reading →

Choi Jin Hyuk and L Partner Up for MBC Drama Accounting Firm

Man in a checked suit waving hello.

While K-dramas, and J-doramas too, often pick a profession and milk it to death for an entire dramas, there have been times when the profession sounds dull as beans on paper but the series manages to wring out either humanistic stories that connect or actual nuggets of excitement within what is a fairly bland profession. With that said, the upcoming … Continue reading →

Poster, Teaser, and New Stills for Secret Royal Inspector with L, Kwon Nara, and Lee Yi Kyung

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 22, 2020
Three characters peering from behind straw.

I’m not holding high high hopes for upcoming KBS sageuk Secret Royal Inspector as it seems to be taking a more light and hokey approach than I would have preferred but low expectations means this drama need only be pleasantly non-sucky and it would be a win. I do like the first drama poster, definitely different from the usual pose … Continue reading →

New Stills of L and Kwon Nara in Sageuk Drama Secret Royal Inspector

The Secret Royal Inspector will start his secret inspecting this December 2020 on KBS Mon-Tues taking over from Zombie Detective. It’s one of the last premieres of this wild and discombobulating 2020 though K-dramas have provided more solace and entertainment for me than normal years due to the consistency and routine in my life. Watch and blog, then blog and … Continue reading →

Young man in traditional Korean attire.

The role of the historical Secret Royal Inspector has always been rich with fictional fodder for dramas and movies whether in Korea, China, or even Japan. It’s the fail safe for citizens to know there is someone who can stop governmental misconduct and corruption, and ideal to believe in so to speak.

Netizens Have Fun with Top K-ent Actors and Idols with Face Swap App Turning into Beautiful Women

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 6, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 6, 2020
Four male celebrities posing for portraits.

Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions. The popular face changing app that swaps genders is all the rage last month and while some stars have actual female dopplegangers, namely V from BTS looks just like Suzy and Cha Eun … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2020 by ockoalaApril 18, 2020
Cozy scene with two people reading together.

It’s kinda telling that the three lowest rating single episode ratings for a Big Three network K-drama are all with KBS. There may be a new champion in highest rated cable drama soon if The World of the Married continues its trajectory with the chance to surpass Sky Castle, but the other way has a new champion this week.

L and Shin Ye Eun are Adorably Quirky in Marie Claire Pictorial Promoting New KBS Drama Welcome

Couple photoshoot featuring two actors.

I totally forgot there was a drama coming up where idol-actor L (Kim Myung Soo) was playing a cat who transforms into a human. He’s the human version, of course, though I totally want to see the cute white cat used in the drama as well. He’s starring opposite Shin Ye Eun in the KBS drama Welcome based on a … Continue reading →

Shin Hye Sun is a Cold Ballerina in First Stills for KBS Fantasy Romance Dan, Only Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2019 by ockoalaApril 16, 2019
Group of people focused during a meeting.

The first thought I had when I saw the drama stills for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Dan, Only Love is that it was just good enough but not wholly believable. Ballet is an entire body dance form not just going en pointe but from the shoulders to the arm lines to the fingertips, a ballerina lives ballet in her every … Continue reading →
