International Viewers Upset Over Depiction of Middle Eastern Culture and Muslim Faith in MBC Drama The Man Who Dies to Live

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 21, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 21, 2017
Four characters posing at a beach setting.

Holy epic fail on the part of MBC with it’s latest Wed-Thurs offering The Man Who Dies to Live, a drama I wasn’t even planning on watching until the uproar over the first two episodes elevated interest. Now I still don’t want to watch it but for a different reason, the reason behind so much anger and offense taken by … Continue reading →

Park Kwang Hyun Returns to TV with Face-swapping Makjang Daily Ruby’s Ring

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 14, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 14, 2013

Sometimes it takes a whole lotta crazy and some tangential love to get my attention for a drama and by golly the upcoming KBS daily drama Ruby’s Ring hits it out of the park. I’ve been waiting for Park Kwang Hyun to come back to the small screen ever since he was seriously one of the few highlights of Cheongdamdong … Continue reading →

Snap Judgment on the Weekend Showdown of A Gentlemans Dignity versus Dr. Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 28, 2012 by ockoalaMay 30, 2012

Oh boy. This isn’t going to be pretty. On a fairly flawless weekend where I wandered around the City in magnificent late Spring weather, eating and loling around to my heart’s delight and only stopping to girl talk left and right, the only blemish came in the form of electing to watch the newly premiered weekend dramas. I started with … Continue reading →

Bromance Rules at the Time Slip Dr. Jin Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 20, 2012 by ockoalaMay 20, 2012

Drama press conferences are good for two things – snarking/admiring the outfits and checking out if the leads evidence any chemistry together. When its a sageuk drama, I usually eschew the former since the leads typically appear in character wearing their saguek outfits, and its almost always suitable for showcasing the drama but not much dissection involved. The press conference … Continue reading →

Meet the Sageuk Ladies of Time Slip Dr. Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 15, 2012 by ockoalaMay 15, 2012

I know 99% of the people checking out Time Slip Dr. Jin is there for one of the three main male leads Song Seung Heon, Lee Bum Soo, and Jaejoong. But I’d be remiss not to mention the ladies Park Min Young and Lee So Yeon, both of whom have done sageuks before and actually are decent in them. I … Continue reading →

Time Slip Dr. Jin Releases First Teaser Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2012 by ockoalaMay 12, 2012

The first teaser trailer is out for Time Slip Dr. Jin. It’s too fast and short to get much out of it – a bit hokey, but not flat out dreadful (so far). I dunno what to think, I think it wants to be more Queen In Hyun’s Man but might end up more Rooftop Prince. I laughed so hard … Continue reading →

Part I and II of Allure Korea’s Peek Into Actresses Prepping for Year End Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 6, 2011 by ockoalaFebruary 6, 2011

The 2010 Year End Drama Awards for the major Korean networks were just a scant month ago, yet somewhere it feels like a year has passed. Allure Korea did a photospread on various actresses as they primped and prepared for attending one of the three awards shows. While I didn’t like all the dresses on these ladies the night of … Continue reading →
