The fantasy genre in K-dramas continues to go strong and up next is streaming platform TVING with Welcome to Witch’s Restaurant.

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 20, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 18, 2021
Woman walking in snow, man approaching behind.

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 →

One good thing that came out of the brain hurty jTBC drama Sisyphus: The Myth was discovering a new talent. I was like Park Hyung Sik’s character in Heirs when he first meets female lead Cha Eun Sung and he swans over with a cheeky “Dugu, new face?!” I’m talking about Chinese restaurant boy Sun played by rookie actor Chae … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 30, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 30, 2020
Person speaking at an awards ceremony stage.

I searched and there are no pictures of the actors and actresses attending the 2020 MBC Drama Awards with their face masks off so kudos for the production really sticking with proper protective gear and social distancing. Everyone even wore gloves too! Too bad they all decided to do only black and white for their outfits, like the fight with … Continue reading →

Kim Yoo Jung the First Pick of Netizens for Female Lead of Sageuk Drama Hong Chun Gi with Ahn Hyo Seob by the Writer of The Moon Embraces the Sun

I always felt that Han Ga In was not right for the female lead role in hit sageuk The Moon Embraces the Sun, the age gap with Kim Soo Hyun, her acting limitations (he was acting circles around her), and that the age of the character really suited a early 20s actress. There’s a chance to cast right for Hong … Continue reading →

MBC still hasn’t found the ratings mojos that some of the other networks have managed to scrounge back and I’m not sure this next Mon-Tues drama will bring in tons more viewers even if it’s good. I’m totally watching 365: Repeat the Year because I love both leads Nam Ji Hyun and Lee Joon Hyuk, and knowing these two likely … Continue reading →
