It’s so great that Im Shi Wan continues to be one of the most diverse and versatile actors of his generation, and still astonishing to take in since he started off as an idol.

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 →

Song Seung Heon Stages Political Comeback Toggling Four Kids in tvN Drama The Great Show

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 22, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2019
Family playing around a large poster.

Oooh, this one looks potentially adorable and hilarious. I’m never in the mood for serious and dark Korean political dramas but tvN‘s The Great Show is a comedic family take on it with Song Seung Heon doing his best smarmy politician impression. He plays a formerly high flying wunderkind politician who loses his re-election and falls back to earth. He … Continue reading →

Actors at a promotional event, smiling.

The first thing that came to mind when I heard this news is what scandal is going on in Korean politics for the timing of this news, lol. Variety show superstar and actor Kwang Soo is confirmed to be dating actress Lee Sun Bin after the two met on his long running hit variety program Running Man when she guested. … Continue reading →

Rain, Lee Dong Gun, Lee Sun Bin and the Cast of jTBC Drama Sketch Attend Successful Wrap Party

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 14, 2018
Three individuals posing for a photo collectively.

Cable network jTBC ended its run of the Fri-Sat thriller police drama Sketch this weekend, averaging ratings in the 2.5% range which qualifies as a solid success for the cast and crew. Lately tvN and even jTBC have seen ratings upwards of 5-6% that it’s easy to forget these are paid cable networks so ratings are lower plus the some … Continue reading →

Historical figures in traditional Korean attire.

All eyes on Hyun Bin lately have been for his filming on upcoming K-drama Memories of Alhambra, but I don’t want to lose sight of the arriving first fall 2018 Joseon thriller action flick Rampant (Outbreak). The movie follows Hyun Bin as a Joseon era prince who also happens to be a kickass martial arts expert, I guess one had … Continue reading →

jTBC Weekend Drama Sketch with Rain and Lee Dong Gun Premieres to Good Cable Ratings and Even Better Audience Reviews

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 26, 2018 by ockoalaMay 26, 2018
Four characters from a drama series collage.

I heaved big sigh of relief with the weekend premiere of jTBC thriller police drama Sketch, for the fact that both male leads are faves of mine and totally due for a drama that audiences like and reward with ratings. Starring Rain, Lee Dong Gun, and Lee Sun Bin, Sketch was under promoted and even I nearly forgot about its … Continue reading →

Rain and Lee Dong Gun Face Off in First Preview for jTBC Thriller Drama Sketch

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 8, 2018 by ockoalaMay 7, 2018
Two serious men in dark clothing.

Please drama gods do not make Lee Dong Gun the bad guy in upcoming jTBC drama Sketch. I can handle him being the antagonist/nemesis to Rain’s male lead but not the ultimate big bad, because I need the two to join forces later on after overcoming initial disagreement with each other. The reunion of the two male leads from Sang … Continue reading →

Casting meeting with actors and crew members.

There’s currently something about noonas and rain going on at jTBC Fri-Sat but come mid-May all the flirting and slice-of-life romance will give way to stopping killers by sketching out the future three days in advance. Filming has started on thriller K-drama Sketch starring Rain, Lee Dong Gun, and Lee Sun Bin along with veteran actor Jung Jin Young. The … Continue reading →

We’ve got a full cast peeps and it’s looking mighty fine, at least on the male leads side. Rain and Lee Dong Gun are teaming up once again more than a decade after Sang Doo, Let’s Go to School and also doing the double male lead drama casting that’s more and more popular lately. Rain plays a detective who pairs … Continue reading →

Young woman with long hair, elegant pose.

Right now I would have trouble picking Lee Sun Bin out of a time up of tall, thin, sleek-faced Korean actresses and idols because I haven’t watched her act other than in dramas I checked out early on. She looks like a mashed up hybrid of Song Hye Kyo, Han Sun Hwa, and Park Han Byul and has done a … Continue reading →
