A successful drama run these days is rarer than ever especially in the romantic comedy genre where it’s basically a unicorn. Just wrapped tvN Mon-Tues romance drama This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life), with less comedy than expected but still chuckles aplenty, held a much deserved cast drama wrap party this week as the final … Continue reading →

My favorite new K-drama is here and Mon-Tues will be owned by tvN‘s cohabitation rom-com This Life is Our First. As suspected when I heard the premise and saw the first promos, this is the K-version of hit J-dorama Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (We Married as a Job or the literal translation title of Runaway is Ashamed But … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 29, 2017
Cast reading script at a group meeting.

Cable network tvN is now no longer the sole player in the paid to watch market with rival jTBC making huge strides in the last two years in airing popular and critically well received dramas. That doesn’t mean tvN is on the downward trajectory and I hope the network continues to churn out interesting dramas without succumbing to the fallacy … Continue reading →

tvN Deciding Between Time-traveling Drama with Lee Min Ki and Shin Mina or Action Drama K2 with Ji Chang Wook

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 16, 2016 by ockoalaJune 16, 2016
Two people posing at an event.

Woah, now this is what I call a double whammy. Not only is casting a shocker but even the decision between two dramas comes as a surprise for me. Cable network tvN is dealing with what must be a decision of greats, namely that either seems promising and inking both would be the smart movie. The network is scheduling its … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ki is a Quirky Preppy for Menswear Brand The Class

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 8, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 8, 2012

Pair that with a quirky personality and some great acting choices, he’s definitely an actor to follow and appreciate. He’s the spokesperson for the menswear … Continue reading →
