Moon Geun Young Showcases Her Usual Excellent Acting in Hellbound 2 Playing a Cult Leader Supporting Role

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 27, 2024 by ockoalaOctober 27, 2024

It’s been so disheartening to see some of the online netizen mean spirited mockery of K-actress Moon Geun Young and her weight gain visuals at the drama press conference in her first acting return in 5 years with Hellbound 2. Thankfully it’s only a section of the online commentary and there remains a lot of positive support and excitement to … Continue reading →

Well this is a blast from the past! A good one at that, and I hope she’s back on a more consistent cadence now.

The career trajectory of K-actress Moon Geun Young hasn’t gone into hibernation like Won Bin or slow slide into being forgotten like Yoon Eun Hye, but she’s definitely someone I didn’t think would be working this infrequently in dramas and movies. I thought she would do at least 1 a year but now it’s more like 1 every three years. … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 20, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 18, 2021

When I saw this post circulating among K-netizens it was such a walk down memory lane. Both dramas aired in 2010 and then it felt like such hope for the new creative and emotional heights for K-dramas in the start of that decade. Netizens decree that two dramas Cinderella Unni (Cinderella’s Stepsister) and Will it Snow for Christmas are both … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young Leaves Namoo Actors After 16 Years and Looks for New Agency

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 30, 2020 by ockoalaSeptember 30, 2020

Wow, 16 years is a loooong time and K-actress Moon Geun Young went from late teen to mature actress in that span of time she was with agency Namoo Actors. Her last 5 years in acting projects hasn’t been the most high profile of her career so a fresh reboot is not a bad decision. She’s amicably parting ways with … Continue reading →

In a bit of clumped together news update, Lee Jun Ki has had a quiet acting summer but was in the news recently for both professional and personal reasons. He recently landed the spokesperson role for Westin Chosun Hotel, part of the Marriott formerly Starwood chain and quite a luxurious property in Seoul. He’s also been his usual caring and … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 21, 2019 by ockoalaOctober 21, 2019
Detectives investigating a crime scene together.

The scheduled press conference for K-drama Catch the Ghost was postponed due to ill tidings in K-ent and a sad passing so the drama held its press conference today hours before the drama premiered as the new Mon-Tues tvN offering.

Moon Geun Young and Kim Sun Ho Tame the Subways in New Teaser and Stills for tvN Drama Catch the Ghost

Woman at subway station with a police officer.

It’s October, yay, which means it really does feel like fall and I’m ready for something new again. The change of pace catching my eye is Catch the Ghost on tvN, doing the police procedural but without the politics and darkness. Instead the darkness comes from the subway tunnels where the metro squad keeps law and order, and does so … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young and Kim Sun Ho are Beat Up and Worn Out Subway Cops in Posters for Catch the Ghost

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 26, 2019 by ockoalaSeptember 27, 2019
Two transit officers in a subway train.

I don’t think one needs to be specifically a subway cop to be totally beat (har har) at the end of the day working that job. Kudos to anyone working along the vast transportation system that keeps people moving. With that said, the latest drama posters for Catch the Ghost highlight the after effects on the job for subway cops … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young and Kim Sun Ho Keep the Subways Safe in Poster and First Teaser for tvN Drama Catch the Ghost

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 22, 2019 by ockoalaSeptember 21, 2019
Group of people on a subway train.

Those who take subways daily know there is an inherent risk of it being late, dirty, and perhaps a tiny sliver of danger. But that’s subways in wild NYC and I honestly can’t see the subway system of well-run South Korean infrastructure teeming with danger. But that’s the premise which grounds upcoming tvN drama Catch the Ghost with Moon Geun … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 1, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 1, 2019
Two smiling individuals in stylish outfits.

There’s a switcheroo with the tvN Mon-Tues K-drama airing time slot. The network is delaying subway police drama Catch the Ghost until October rather last minute and and will family political drama Great Show first in August after Designated Survivor. So Moon Geun Young and Song Seung Heon are switching spots and I’m good with that. The reason given is … Continue reading →

tvN Releases First Teaser for Subway Procedural Drama Catch the Ghost with Moon Geun Young and Kim Sun Ho

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 28, 2019 by ockoalaJuly 27, 2019
Urban subway scenes with characters and statistics.

The idea of a K-drama set around subway cops does sound rather dull, or more accurately not very compelling with the crime elements. I’m only interested in upcoming tvN drama Catch the Ghost for lead Moon Geun Young despite the premise but then I watched the just released teaser and found it way cooler than expected. Moon Geun Young’s narration … Continue reading →

The Cast of tvN Drama Catch the Ghost Transform into Adorkable Subway Cops in First Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2019 by ockoalaJuly 25, 2019
Six police officers posing for a photo.

My long time fave Moon Geun Youn is returning to drama land at the end of the summer and has picked an interested and rather unflashy project with tvN investigative drama Catch the Ghost. The title is a pun on her character’s name Yoo Ryung which also means ghost/spirit, so I don’t think there is anything supernatural in this story … Continue reading →
