Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk Confirmed as Leads for MBC Drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 10, 2019

Lee Sung Kyung is rather polarizing for me to watch as an actress, she’s definitely memorable onscreen but sometimes for the wrong reasons. The same came be said for Nam Joo Hyuk but in the exact opposite way, he’s definitely not memorable onscreen except in rare instances. That’s why it’s entertaining in a potential hot mess way that MBC has … Continue reading →

Official Drama Posters and Third Teaser for Doctors Plays Up the Warm Human Connections

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 13, 2016 by ockoalaJune 12, 2016
Couple relaxing and watching something together.

I see major flashbacks to Park Shin Hye‘s last drama Pinocchio, and it’s not something I sensed in early previews for Doctors but I totally sense it now with the official drama posters. It’s not a bad sort of flashback since I loved Pinocchio and also loved the posters, it just feels lazy that same network SBS resorted to such … Continue reading →

The onscreen face-off of Park Shin Hye and Lee Sung Kyung in Doctors takes shape in the latest drama stills from the arriving soon Mon-Tues SBS drama. Looks like they are friends back in the high school days, and in the present turn into colleagues in the neurosurgery department of the same hospital. First loves in Hallyu dramas are overplayed … Continue reading →

SBS has unveiled the very very attractive main cast of doctors in the upcoming Mon-Tues drama Doctors, putting me in mind to fake and illness to get treated by this bunch of pretties. Starring Kim Rae Won, Park Shin Hye, Yoon Kyun Sang, and Lee Sung Kyung, the drama takes over the time slot from Jackpot (Daebak) and turns the … Continue reading →

Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye Lead the Script Reading for SBS Drama Doctors

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2016 by ockoalaMay 12, 2016
Group of actors during a rehearsal session.

I never thought I’d see Park Shin Hye in a doctor genre drama, and conversely I’ve wondered why Kim Rae Won hasn’t done one yet since all his generational male colleagues have wielded the scalpel already. Filming started on upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors (formerly Female Gangster Hye Jung) last week and now the production has released the script reading stills … Continue reading →

Kim Rae Won the Surprising Pick as Park Shin Hye’s Potential Costar in SBS Drama Doctors

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 15, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 15, 2016
Two people posing confidently for the camera.

This is an interesting casting possibility on top of an already interesting casting discussion surrounding upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors (formerly Female Gangster Hye Jung). The original title had more flavor but I can see the new title being selected for broader inclusion if the drama is about a group of doctors rather than focused solely on the main character. … Continue reading →

Park Hae Jin Missing From the Official Cheese in the Trap OST Drama Pictorial Book

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 9, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 9, 2016
Group of five people looking at a box.

The WTF-ery of the Cheese in the Trap production team apparently refuses to stop even after the drama’s finished airing. One would think the production would do everything possible to avoid further uproar with anything involving male lead Park Hae Jin, but alas that line of thinking appears to be wishful and completely out of reach of an increasingly bizarre … Continue reading →

Usually the casting of male characters garners more buzz since the K-drama audience skews female, but there are three offers out for upcoming dramas that will likely elicit its share of feedback since the actresses in question are popular or currently getting a lot of exposure. Up first is SBS drama Doctors, formerly known as Female Gangster Hye Jung, which … Continue reading →

Woman standing among a busy street crowd.

So do we all get a badge now, one that says “I survived live-watching Cheese in the Trap and lived to tell the tale”. If the only entertaining thing to come out of this drama’s epic meltdown is spurring on the creativity of angry audiences to come up with ways to torture the PD and production, then that’s the vengeful … Continue reading →
