The Red Sleeve Cuff Releases New Poster of Junho and Lee Se Young in a Restrained Intimate Moment

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 15, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2021
Historical drama poster featuring two characters.

There is a new poster and preview out for MBC sageuk The Red Sleeve Cuff that will join the other sageuks airing with SBS in Lovers of the Red Sky and KBS with The King’s Affection. It’s so rare these days to have the Big Three all have simultaneously airing sageuks which was more common a decade ago when there … Continue reading →

Junho and Lee Se Young Find Subtle Romantic Connection in New Posters for MBC Sageuk The Red Sleeve Cuff

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 5, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 5, 2021
Two characters in traditional attire, emotional scene.

Sageuk romances are by nature restrained and less is said/done is more presentation due to the characters living in an historical era of emphasis on etiquette and form. The upcoming MBC drama The Red Sleeve Cuff seems to be taking that to the extreme, it’s sooooooo implied that the new poster above seems to have court lady Lee Se Young … Continue reading →

First Stills of Junho and Lee Se Young in Traditional MBC Sageuk The Red Sleeve Cuff

Man in traditional attire being dressed.

The fall of sageuk has officially started this week with the premiere of SBS drama Lovers of the Red Sky (Red Sky) which is NOT a traditional sageuk in any sense of the genre, but up next is MBC drama The Red Sleeve Cuff which looks super traditional. It deals with the love story and politics behind King Jeongjo and … Continue reading →

KBS had a sageuk this year with River Where the Moon Rises and SBS is preparing to air Hong Chun Gi (Red Sky) in the summer, not to be left out MBC is prepping a traditional sageuk drama adapted from a novel.

MBC Drama Kairos Ends as a Perfect Puzzle, Leaving the Marvelously Constructed Story and Execution for Future Drama Fans to Discover

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2020
Group of friends enjoying a cozy evening outdoors.

My Mon-Tues found an unassuming gem that is MBC drama Kairos and my appreciation for its magnificence really hits home today knowing that it’s over. This is less missing a drama I loved for more emotional reasons and more missing a great story, a consummate storyteller, knowing that I won’t have another installment next week. The low ratings don’t bother … Continue reading →

Kairos Heads into Final Episode 16 Still as Tightly Written and Tautly Executed in Near Perfect Dramatic Form

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 21, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2020
Dramatic scenes from a suspenseful television series.

I have recommended plenty of K-dramas that started off well and fell apart, and sometimes so horribly it’s like falling off a cliff, getting revived only to be smashed to pieces again. It’s just the worst because you invest so much so the disappointment is magnified. This year’s most underrated drama is likely going to be MBC Mon-Tues thriller Kairos, … Continue reading →

Excellent MBC Mon-Tues Drama Kairos is the Dark Horse Tightly Plotted Thriller Sliding Under the Radar

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 15, 2020
Drama poster featuring three characters from "Kairos."

MBC has been bottom of the ratings barrel for so long that I’ve really stopped paying much attention to its ability to deliver dramas worth watching. Consider me even more impressed with recently premiered Mon-Tues drama Kairos, currently with 5-episodes aired. It’s so good, like a tightly plotted thriller I would expect to find on OCN mixed with the layer … Continue reading →

tvN Drama Memorist with Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Se Young Premieres to Decent 3.272% Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 12, 2020 by ockoalaMarch 12, 2020
Man in hoodie walking on city street.

Life’s been insanely crazy for me work wise and news wise around the world, I totally forgot that this Wednesday was the premiere for my baby boy Yoo Seung Ho‘s new police thriller drama Memorist. I’ll rectify that this weekend with a catch up of the first two episodes but for those who checked out episode 1, how was it? … Continue reading →

Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Se Young Have Their Game Faces on in Stylish Posters for tvN Drama Memorist

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 20, 2020 by ockoalaFebruary 20, 2020
Man in suit sitting on a red chair.

My memory gets worse with age, sigh, so how nice would it be to have a photographic memory. But not so good what Yoo Seung Ho‘s character has in the upcoming tvN drama Memorist – he can see the memory of any person he touches. That’s way too much information and a conceit done in K-dramas before but with different … Continue reading →

First Tense Teaser for tvN Drama Memorist with Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Se Young

Two people in colorful lighting, side profiles.

My boy Yoo Seung Ho is coming back to the small screen next month, woo hoo! This time he’s playing both a detective and a mind reader, the latter of which is definitely useful for being the former. tvN Wed-Thurs drama Memorist released the first teaser this week showing some swat team action, beat down, Yoo Seung Ho saluting his … Continue reading →

Actors participating in a script reading session.

Grown up child actor Yoo Seung Ho is checking off nearly every next gen K-drama leading lady. His next drama Memorist will costar Lee Se Young and the two look intense during the script reading. He’s also worked with Jo Bo Ah for My Strange Hero, Chae Soo Bin in I’m Not a Robot, and Kim So Hyun in the … Continue reading →

Lee Se Young Joins Yoo Seung Ho in Police Investigative Drama Memorist

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 21, 2019 by ockoalaNovember 20, 2019
Woman in off-shoulder top at event.

I don’t think they look alike or even have the same acting styles but in the early days of their career I kept getting Lee Se Young and Chae Soo Bin confused. Probably because they were always playing the bitchy or mean second female lead around the same time period, but now both have gotten their female lead breaks and … Continue reading →
