KBS is prepping for a late summer 2023 K-drama Pure Boxer which was announced earlier in the spring starring Lee Sang Yeob and Kim So Hye.

Park Byung Eun Upends His Life for Seo Ye Ji as Part of Her Revenge Plan in New Preview and Stills for tvN Melodrama Eve

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 11, 2022 by ockoalaMay 11, 2022
Emotional scenes from a dramatic TV series.

Revenge is a dish best served cold but try as I might this entire plot just sounds absurdly implausible and therefore comes across as silly. Upcoming K-drama Eve sells itself with overwrought visuals and intense emotions on everyone’s faces but the core revenge that sets the train in motion is predicated on the thin possibility that a cold, calculating billionaire … Continue reading →

Namgoong Min Takes Home the Daesang at the 2021 MBC Drama Awards for The Veil and the Cast of The Red Sleeve Cuff Wins Big Across Multiple Categories

The first of the three network drama awards was the 2021 MBC Drama Awards which was less about the depth and breadth of offerings (slim pickings this year) but about the veteran versus the youngster for Daesang. It was a genuine competition with two very compelling acting performances that were nevertheless a comparison of a great orange with a great … Continue reading →

The 2020 KBS Drama Awards was a free for all as well, and a mix of face masks, social distancing, and still walking the red carpet. The bulk of the awards went to the various cast members of weekend drama Once Again and daily drama Homemade Love Story, as both were the sole shining ratings lights for the network. Daddy … Continue reading →

Man in tuxedo speaking at award ceremony.

Aaaaahhhhh this feels nice, a sense of normalcy and nostalgia for how big this awards got in recent years and perhaps a nice slimming down to focus on just the core competencies. The 2020 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) went off this weekend with a huge red carpet and many stars walking it in person. This is foremost a music … Continue reading →

Wowser, consider me surprised but also believing that this could have happened. New SBS Mon-Tues drama Good Casting, which takes over from Nobody Knows, rather impressed with a nobody could have expected surprising ratings. Episode 1 notched 9.5% and 12.3%, making it easily the time slot ratings leader over low single digit competitors Born Again and 365: Repeat the Year. … Continue reading →

Lee Min Jung, Lee Sang Yeob, and Oh Yoon Ah Headline Cast for KBS Weekend Drama I’ve Returned After One Marriage

Collage of six diverse individuals posing differently.

Weekend dramas have been quiet on the big three network front as cable networks have been really on fire in that time slot. But when the prime time dramas faltered in recent years the big three always had their weekend stalwarts and I’m just waiting for something to stir my interest and bring me back to the world of big … Continue reading →

Three men in stylish outfits posing together.

A bunch of dudes are going to take the train and hopefully it ends up better for them than for Gong Yoo in Train to Busan, or for the poor souls in the rear of the Snowpiercer. Leading men Lee Seon Kyun, Kim Nam Gil, and Lee Sang Yeob, along with stars Kim Min Sik and Go Gyu Pil, all … Continue reading →

Lee Sang Yeob and Park Ha Sun Change Up Their Image with Steamy Romance Drama Love Affairs in the Afternoon

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 27, 2019 by ockoalaMay 27, 2019
Intimate moment between two close individuals.

Consider me pleasantly surprised and curious about upcoming cable network Channel A drama Love Affairs in the Afternoon. The literal title is translated as Weekday at 3PM Lover and is the remake of the same name J-dorama. It’s pretty illicit and steamy based on the story synopsis alone, a housewife and biology teacher start an adulterous affair living in the … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok and Shin Hye Sun Show Off Script for Short Drama Death Song

Two actors holding scripts and smiling.

I totally forgot that Shin Hye Sun was also a student in School 2013 which launched the careers of Lee Jong Seok and Kim Woo Bin, so this is a reunion for her to do the short drama Death Song (Hymn of Death) with Lee Jong Seok. It’s an added reunion as Lee Sang Yeob is also joining the cast … Continue reading →

Ji Sung Wins the SBS Drama Awards Daesang for Defendant and Lights Up the Event with Wife Lee Bo Young

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2018 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2018
2017 SBS Drama Awards red carpet highlights.

The year end 2017 SBS Drama Awards was really the Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young show, with the married acting couple basically turning the event into their own lovey dovey showcase and honestly that’s fine with me. They are so low key for so long, let them enjoy the limelight for once when both do deserve it. Ji Sung … Continue reading →

SBS Drama While You Were Sleeping Wraps Up in Tidy Bow with Plenty of Could Have Been Betters Regrets

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 17, 2017 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2017
Couple portraits: joyful and romantic moments.

I’m not angry or upset that SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping didn’t end up meeting expectations. Unlike other K-dramas which vexed me so, this one was just placid enough I watched with increasingly detached interest and was even pleasantly surprised that the final two episodes managed to wring a tear out of me. But it was never about … Continue reading →

Cast of SBS Drama While You Were Sleeping Show Off Plenty of Friendship Goal Snaps

It’s been a good streak for me, if you consider two straight K-dramas that I love a streak. Sadly the quality of K-dramas has gone down overall in the recent years and with it comes lower expectations. So to have followed tvN drama Live Up to Your Name avidly in the end of summer rolling straight into loving SBS drama … Continue reading →
