A Koala's Playground Posted on November 27, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 26, 2016
Dramatic historical scene with four characters.

Upcoming tvN fantasy drama Goblin is either playing the long con or the smart tease with me, and I definitely prefer it to be the latter. The days drama press conferences are held mere days or even hours before the drama airs but Goblin is still a week away from airing and the photogenic cast already met the press and … Continue reading →

It’s been four years since Gong Yoo‘s last drama, the high profile Hong sisters rare flop that was Big. But apparently it’s been five years of repeated wooing from screenwriter Kim Eun Sook to get Gong Yoo to accept her drama, which in essence means he was offered A Gentleman’s Dignity, Heirs, and Descendants of the Sun before he finally … Continue reading →

Goblin Holds Pretty Press Conference and Releases Stunning 6-minute Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 22, 2016
Two men engaged in a friendly conversation.

Oh my gosh does Goblin look ahhhhhmazing in the long 6-minute preview. I was making nnnngggg incoherent noises at every mesmerizing frame and couldn’t look away for a second. Whatever Kim Eun Sook has up her sleeve I’m certain it’s worth a first look on visuals alone rather than outright dismissiveness over some of her flaws in narrative and characterization. … Continue reading →

This is a first for me with respect to a Kim Eun Sook penned drama – I love the drama posters for Goblin! Like, love love love them all! A few are weird and random and just the thing to capture the attention, the like one above with male leads Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo battling over a pepper … Continue reading →

Hul, this is going to be even more awesome that I expected if Goblin is tripling up on the bromance aspect. The production has dropped various combination of stills – Gong Yoo the lonely immortal Goblin, emo grim reaper Lee Dong Wook, the male leads with their respective OTP in Kim Go Eun and Yoo In Na, and now comes … Continue reading →

Two Sets of Goblin OTP Present Contrasting Charms in New Drama Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 15, 2016
Two people walking in autumn park.

Gosh, both sets of OTP in upcoming fantasy drama Goblin certainly are looking mighty cute together. Well, the main leads Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun are more professor and student cute, and I mean that not as a taboo teacher-student romance and more Rex Harrison professor in My Fair Lady with his pygmalion Eliza Doolittle. The 900 year old immortal … Continue reading →

Gong Yoo Share Scenes with Goblin Male Leads Lee Dong Wook and Yook Sung Jae

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 9, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 8, 2016
Two men in a park discussing seriously.

K-actor Gong Yoo may be playing an immortal mystical Goblin in the titular fantasy tvN K-drama but he’ll be having male competition from both the human and inhuman sides. His roommate in the drama will be played by Lee Dong Wook, who isn’t your average roomie and in the just released stills above show a contentious first meeting with Gong … Continue reading →

Goblin’s Four Leads Offer Up Different Visual Charms in New Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 3, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 3, 2016
Young woman reading a letter thoughtfully.

The promos for Legend of the Blue Sea feature leads Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Hyun solely to the point that it feels like they are the only characters in that drama. It’s an approach different than tvN is doing for it’s own fantasy themed tale Goblin, presenting the four leads with varying auras and charms for the audience … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2016
Young man in stylish outfits, urban background.

Whatever screenwriter Kim Eun Sook has in store for her first cable network drama in tvN‘s Goblin (The Lonely Shining Goblin), I’m fully onboard with the dreamy melancholy vibe. It feels otherworldly which is exactly the mood to go for, and the four newly released character teaser videos don’t tell much in terms of narrative but sell tons of atmospherics. Gong … Continue reading →
