Third Preview for Legend of the Blue Juxtaposes Sageuk Seriousness with Modern Hijinks

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 2, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2016
Collage of scenes from a Korean drama.

Yay, new preview for Legend of the Blue Sea! Anything to wash away the muck and grime from the disappointment that is recently concluded Moon Lovers is fine by me. The third teaser is out and this one takes a contrasting vibe – showing us serious Lee Min Ho as a Joseon magistrate before abruptly cutting away to his modern day … Continue reading →

Portraits of a rider and a woman in nature.

I never expected a mermaid themed K-drama could be so enthrall me to the point of avid anticipation. I chalk it up to Jeon Ji Hyun, she’s beautiful enough to portray a fantasy mermaid of lore, and has the indelible screen presence to sell a character grounded in extreme possibility. New stills are out for the leads of Legend of the … Continue reading →

Jeon Ji Hyun Gets Tied Up by Lee Min Ho in Legend of the Blue Sea First Meeting

Much can be said about Legend of the Blue Sea being over-hyped, and certainly it’s harder to meet expectations when the interest is so high. I was underwhelmed by most of the writing in You From Another Star but I did appreciate that it took risks and went for a story about a top star in love with an immortal … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho Stares Out to Sea and Jeon Ji Hyun Gazes Towards Land in Character Posters for Legend of the Blue Sea

The beauty of Jeon Ji Hyun is going to be tested or affirmed once again in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Legend of the Blue Sea. And the answer is fast pointing to the latter, since playing a mermaid requires much salty water basking and so far she’s managed the feat of looking both ethereal and sultry. The teaser character posters … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 27, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2016

Popular things cost more and are reasoned to be worth the price premium, so said premium would conceivably be doubled if it’s double the popularity to be acquired. News out of China says that upcoming SBS drama Legend of the Blue Sea is reportedly opening the bid for Chinese streaming rights at a whopping half a million per episode, with … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho Turns Hypnotist Conman in New Legend of the Blue Sea Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 27, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2016
Person holding a lighter with intense expression.

The cosplaying of Lee Min Ho in Legend of the Blue Sea continues, and this latest batch of character stills shows him being a hypnotist of sorts. I feel like Lee Min Ho has done this sort of role before, when he was in City Hunter and being covert and able to blend in seamlessly, or maybe it’s the black … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 25, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 25, 2016
Young man focused at a desk with computer.

I figured Legend of the Blue Sea would be Jeon Ji Hyun‘s chance to cosplay as a mermaid. It’s not the first time K-dramas have presented this fantasy role, Jo Boa did a wonderful mermaid job in the wacky Surplus Princess,but that was cable and this is taking mermaid K-drama style to the big leagues in a prime time SBS … Continue reading →

Casting Jeon Ji Hyun as the spoiled top star in You From Another Star turned out to be a match made in casting heaven, and even seemed that way from the outset when it was announced. Her turn as the centuries old last mermaid on earth in upcoming SBS drama Legend of the Blue Sea is way more of a … Continue reading →

Whatever fountain of youth and happiness former Miss Korea winner and established veteran actress Kim Sung Ryung is bathing in, she should bottle and sell immediately to better the world. Fifty year old (forever whut?) Kim Sung Ryung was spotted at the airport recently with her adorable younger son who looks the epitome of well mannered and amiable rather than surly … Continue reading →

I’m getting really familiar with Lee Min Ho‘s casual light blue cotton tunic top and white linen pants, what with the steady stream of fan snapped pictures of him filming Legend of the Blue Sea in Spain wearing that outfit in what appears to be scene after scene. Good news is that he looks great in it, and it makes … Continue reading →

It’s pretty amazing how mainstream and widespread K-dramas have become in the nearly two decades since it started proliferating beyond the domestic borders of South Korea. Last year the Greek newspapers covered the overseas filming of Descendants of the Sun when the production chose the country as a stand-in for the fictional war torn Urk, and now the Spanish newspaper … Continue reading →
