Woman smiling in a professional setting.

Lee Bo Young and Lee Chung Ah are double up for a thriller investigative K-drama along with Lee Moo Saeng for what will be a prestige production that will hopefully also be very entertaining.

Couple admiring an aquarium together.

There weren’t a lot of people that watched tvN drama Awaken (Night and Day) but I was hella hooked thanks to the initially very intriguing sci-fi plus procedural mystery. Then it was the Namgoong Min and Lee Chung Ah show as the two riffed off one another and build this simmering incredible chemistry that works as police partners and as … Continue reading →

Namgoong Min Appears Stylish and Snazzy in BTS Pics for SBS Drama Thousand Won Lawyer and Awaken Costar Lee Chung Ah to Guest Star for Reunion

Fitness enthusiast training in gym environment.

This is totally night and day for Namgoong Min, to borrow the Korean title of Namgoong Min’s sci-fi tinged thriller drama Awaken which had the title Day and Night. He looked so serious and dare I say it a bit morose looking in his early filming stills for his last dram The Veil (Black Sun), and who can blame him … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2021
Three women smiling in varied styles.

I’ve seen folks asking about the 2022 Netflix produced K-dramas and there hasn’t been that many announced yet. So here’s one more to start expanding that short list – Netflix is producing the 12-episode K-drama Celebrity which is called a social and psychological thriller about fame. It will star Lee Chung Ah, Park Kyu Young, Jeon Hyeseong, and Kang Min … Continue reading →

Couple joyfully posing by a bicycle.

Fans of Yoo Yeon Seok or Lee Chung Ah already know that the two talented stars are good friends in real for going on 18 years. They are also so visually compatible and coupled with their BFF chemistry it’s no wonder sportswear brand Eddie Bauer selected them for the brand a few years ago and continues to use them. Their … Continue reading →

tvN Mon-Tues Drama Awaken Finishes with Excellent Episode 16, Another Indelible Performance by Namgong Min, and Solid Average Ratings of 4.543%

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2021
Four characters in a dramatic, moody setting.

It’s weird, after watching both Kairos and Awaken (Night and Day) back to back, Kairos is a better written and executed drama but I’m way more emotionally invested in Awaken due to the jaw dropping acting show put on by Namgong Min for the entire 16-episodes. This was his playground and we’re all just lucky to be along for the … Continue reading →

Episode 15 tVN Drama Awaken Drops Major Reveals Like Whatevs on the Way to Finale

Group of people in dramatic expressions.

Okay, I can’t stop watching Awaken (Night and Day) even though I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS and I know most won’t be answered by the end. This drama is so weird, building a conspiracy on perhaps the most horrific power grab ever explored by a K-drama, where rich people (or person) seeks eternal life and in the process uses actual … Continue reading →

tvN Thriller Drama Awaken with Namgong Min Heads into Final Stretch with Interesting Idea and Flawed Execution

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2021
Drama poster featuring four characters in night setting.

After MBC underrated gem Kairos ended, I’ve migrated to tvN thriller Awaken (Night and Day) to satiated the who-dun-it craving in me. When I’m in the mood for procedures then I’m all in, and thankfully Awaken has been there to fill the Kairos sized hole in my drama brain. It’s aired 12-episodes so far so two more weeks left to … Continue reading →

The Cast of tvN Mon-Tues Procedural Thriller Drama Awaken Hold Press Conference Ahead of November 30th Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 26, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 24, 2020
Man in a tuxedo at a red carpet event.

Cable network tvN pulled a switch up this month, airing Birthcare Center in the Mon-Tues slot after Record of Youth but it was only an 8-episode drama. My mental scheduling was thrown off track but it’s back on my radar now that the cast held the press conference for the next drama Awaken (Night and Day). Starring Namgong Min, Seolhyun, … Continue reading →

Namgong Min is Ready to Take Care of Business in New Poster for tvN Drama Awaken

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 10, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 9, 2020
Drama poster featuring four characters in night setting.

The Korean title for upcoming tvN drams Awaken is Night and Day, so the new poster is actually juxtaposing night and day. Except the day seems more like overcast pre-dawn and more hilariously male lead Namgong Min is exactly the same IDGAF attitude and expression. Whereas female leads Seolhyun and Lee Chung Ah actually changed from light colored outfits to … Continue reading →

Cast reading scripts in a group meeting.

tvN’s final Mon-Tues drama of 2020 is ready to start filming and the time slot is going to go from aspirational Record of Youth to medical miracle heartwarming Birthcare Center to dark procedural Awaken (Night and Day). The leads of Awaken held their script reading earlier this month led by Namgong Min, Seolhyun, Lee Chung Ah, and Yoon Sun Woo. … Continue reading →

Namgong Min, Seolhyun, and Lee Chung Ah Confirmed as Leads for tvN Procedural Drama Awaken

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 6, 2020 by ockoalaOctober 6, 2020
Three stylish portraits of young adults.

This is one casting combo where I think the two female leads should be swapped. tvN has confirmed the main cast of upcoming Mon-Tues procedural mystery drama Awaken (Korean title Night and Day) with Namgong Min, Seolhyun, and Lee Chung Ah. Seolhyun remains such an unimpressive actress and I never feel she’s substantively improving, whereas Lee Chung Ah has grown … Continue reading →
