2014 Drama Reviews: Enjoyment in the Good and the Inexplicably Bad

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 30, 2014

Year end drama reviews always starts off like a looming chore, telling me to wash the dish one more time even though I’ve washed it thoroughly already. But then I grow to appreciate it, the added step may yield a dirty spot I missed before, or even the chance to slow down and enjoy the process rather than bemoan the … Continue reading →

Shin Sung Rok Sings for the Lovers of Music OST as the Drama Plot Heads into the Amnesia Crapper

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 29, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 29, 2014

I feel for viewers of Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) that are still watching because of genuine love for this drama. Up until this point it’s been middling but enjoyable, the stuff that I watch with judicious use of the FF-button and deriving decent kicks from scenes here and there. The most decent and rootable character remains Jung Eun Ji‘s … Continue reading →

Lovers of Music Off to a Shaky Start with Not Enough Rom or Com in the OTP Chemistry

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2014 by ockoalaJune 23, 2014

I checked out Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) today and there was more wrong and right to make a positive first impression. On the upside being a rom-com is like an oasis in the parched desert right now so I’ll probably check out tomorrow’s episode to see if it flips the switch. I enjoy trot music enough that the musical … Continue reading →

Lovers of Music Holds Press Conference and Unveils Slapstick 5-minute Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 21, 2014 by ockoalaJune 20, 2014

The first big music-themed K-drama is right around the corner as Big Man wrapped up this week and Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) readies itself for an upcoming Monday night premiere. KBS has been doing a decent job of toggling around genres when lining up its dramas and a fun rom-com will be a nice treat from the mostly serious … Continue reading →

Second Slapstick Teaser for Lovers of Music Plays Up More Comedy than Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 16, 2014 by ockoalaJune 15, 2014

I smell the whiff of bromance ahead in the upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) judging by the buddy-buddy official drama stills of the two leading men Ji Hyun Woo and Shin Sung Rok. Throw in a third wheel in Son Ho Joon and this movie might dispense with the ladies and be about three musically inclined … Continue reading →

Lovers of Music Abounds with Bad Fashion and Concept Teaser Cheesy Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 9, 2014 by ockoalaJune 9, 2014

The concept teaser is out for the upcoming music-themed K-drama Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) and I have to say it’s interesting. I like how some K-dramas prepare concept teasers which don’t contain footage from the actual drama but instead might be like a tiny MV of sorts where the lead(s) act out a heightened scenario of what the drama … Continue reading →

Seeing the official stills of all the leads in the upcoming Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) makes me want to yell “Avengers Assemble”, with music lovers substituting for Avengers of course.

When a giant lot of brand spankin’ new pictures of the gorgeous leads of the most anticipated Summer dramas falls into my lap, I can’t be faulted for combining it into one post for convenience sake. Right? Now you’re one click away from Nam Sang Mi in her first sageuk Joseon Gunman starring Lee Jun Ki, whose first official stills … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 26, 2014 by ockoalaMay 26, 2014

Guh, I can’t stand it! How can the main cast of the upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Lovers of Music (literal Korean title Trot Lovers) look this cute already in the script reading stills? This one is promising on the very premise that it’s both a rom-com (yay!) and one of those underdog success stories (double yay!) and even better that … Continue reading →

This is supremely good news and a boon for drama lovers everywhere if the casting is indeed confirmed. Ji Hyun Woo is coming out of the army in mere days and KBS clearly knows a good thing (man) when they see one because they’ve extended an offer for him to star in its upcoming Mon-Tues drama Trot Lovers.
