New Legend of the Blue Sea Stills Show Childhood Counterparts Laying the Foundation for OTP Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 3, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2016
Four portraits of young adults in nature.

I’ve tried not to make too many comparisons of Legend of the Blue Sea with screenwriter Park Ji Eun‘s last mega hit drama You From Another Star, but with the latest drama still release it fairly echoes a major plot point of YFAS. Leads Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho narratively spend most of the drama in the modern … Continue reading →

Third Preview for Legend of the Blue Juxtaposes Sageuk Seriousness with Modern Hijinks

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 2, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2016
Collage of scenes from a Korean drama.

Yay, new preview for Legend of the Blue Sea! Anything to wash away the muck and grime from the disappointment that is recently concluded Moon Lovers is fine by me. The third teaser is out and this one takes a contrasting vibe – showing us serious Lee Min Ho as a Joseon magistrate before abruptly cutting away to his modern day … Continue reading →

Joseon Magistrate Lee Min Ho Crosses Paths with Mermaid Jeon Ji Hyun in Legend of the Blue Sea Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 1, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 31, 2016
Portraits of a rider and a woman in nature.

I never expected a mermaid themed K-drama could be so enthrall me to the point of avid anticipation. I chalk it up to Jeon Ji Hyun, she’s beautiful enough to portray a fantasy mermaid of lore, and has the indelible screen presence to sell a character grounded in extreme possibility. New stills are out for the leads of Legend of the … Continue reading →

Jeon Ji Hyun Gets Tied Up by Lee Min Ho in Legend of the Blue Sea First Meeting

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 31, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 31, 2016

Much can be said about Legend of the Blue Sea being over-hyped, and certainly it’s harder to meet expectations when the interest is so high. I was underwhelmed by most of the writing in You From Another Star but I did appreciate that it took risks and went for a story about a top star in love with an immortal … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho Stares Out to Sea and Jeon Ji Hyun Gazes Towards Land in Character Posters for Legend of the Blue Sea

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 29, 2016
Young man in shirt, standing on balcony.

The beauty of Jeon Ji Hyun is going to be tested or affirmed once again in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Legend of the Blue Sea. And the answer is fast pointing to the latter, since playing a mermaid requires much salty water basking and so far she’s managed the feat of looking both ethereal and sultry. The teaser character posters … Continue reading →

Legend of the Blue Sea Reportedly Asking for $500,000 Per Episode Sale Price in China

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 27, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2016
Man in stylish outfit poses on stairs.

Popular things cost more and are reasoned to be worth the price premium, so said premium would conceivably be doubled if it’s double the popularity to be acquired. News out of China says that upcoming SBS drama Legend of the Blue Sea is reportedly opening the bid for Chinese streaming rights at a whopping half a million per episode, with … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho Turns Hypnotist Conman in New Legend of the Blue Sea Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 27, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2016
Person holding a lighter with intense expression.

The cosplaying of Lee Min Ho in Legend of the Blue Sea continues, and this latest batch of character stills shows him being a hypnotist of sorts. I feel like Lee Min Ho has done this sort of role before, when he was in City Hunter and being covert and able to blend in seamlessly, or maybe it’s the black … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho Turns into a Prosecutor in Stills for Legend of the Blue Sea and Second Teaser Ramps Up the OTP Cuteness

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 25, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 25, 2016
Young man focused at a desk with computer.

I figured Legend of the Blue Sea would be Jeon Ji Hyun‘s chance to cosplay as a mermaid. It’s not the first time K-dramas have presented this fantasy role, Jo Boa did a wonderful mermaid job in the wacky Surplus Princess,but that was cable and this is taking mermaid K-drama style to the big leagues in a prime time SBS … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho is a Perfectly Coiffed Trickster in New Teaser Still for Legend of the Blue Sea

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 24, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 23, 2016
Magazine cover featuring a young man.

The mania stemming from Gu Jun Pyo in Boys Before Flowers feels so long ago, and it actually was as the drama aired way back when in 2009. Seven years is a long time to ride on iconic popular performance and to give Lee Min Ho credit he’s done many dramas and movies since to keep his popularity high. I’ve … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun and Park Bo Gum are Top K-stars Who Elicit Female Viewers Motherly Instincts

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 21, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 20, 2016
Two young men posing at events.

I gotta give polling site Moolmong credit for even coming up with this particular poll topic, but then again it’s probably run out of more mainstream subjects to inquire about. Korean ladies were polled on which K-star elicited their most motherly instincts, which seems anathema that viewers would want to mother the hotties in question rather than dream of them … Continue reading →

Dramatic scenes from a romantic Korean drama.

It’s here! After months of anticipation since the casting was announced, the first teaser has arrived for Legend of the Blue Sea pairing up Hallyu superstars Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Hyun. The first teaser is a veritable cornucopia of colors and quick cuts to whet the appetite. There are plenty of glimpses of Jeon Ji Hyun as the titular … Continue reading →

Filming has already started for the next SBS Wed-Thurs drama the high profile Legend of the Blue Sea, what with fan snapped pictures of leads Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Hyun filming overseas in picturesque Spain. The drama premieres in early November which isn’t that far away anymore as the middle of October just passed. Regardless of anyone’s personal … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho in Modern and Sageuk Garb in Latest Filming Stills for Legend of the Blue Sea

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 25, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 26, 2016
Person riding a blue bicycle outdoors.

I’m getting really familiar with Lee Min Ho‘s casual light blue cotton tunic top and white linen pants, what with the steady stream of fan snapped pictures of him filming Legend of the Blue Sea in Spain wearing that outfit in what appears to be scene after scene. Good news is that he looks great in it, and it makes … Continue reading →
