Ruler: Master of the Mask Tops Suspicious Couple and Mystery Queen in Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2017 by ockoalaMay 10, 2017
Korean drama posters featuring various characters.

It’s new drama Wednesday, with not one but two new arrivals in the prime time slot. SBS has modern rom-com Suspicious Partner while MBC is offering up classic sageuk intrigue with Ruler: Master of the Mask, both joining KBS‘s quirky noir Mystery Queen which is in the middle of its run. I actually adore Mystery Queen and it’s the drama I … Continue reading →

Nam Ji Hyun and Ji Chang Wook Bring the Romantic Laughs in Posters and New Teaser for Suspicious Partner

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 2, 2017 by ockoalaMay 1, 2017
Drama poster featuring two characters sitting.

I’m getting similar vibes for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner as I did for recently concluding jTBC drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. Peppy posters with a cute female lead and a harangued male lead wrapped in pretty colorful poster wrappings. It’s billed as a rom-com but the central plot has a serial killer danger looming, which was an … Continue reading →

Nam Ji Hyun Beats Up Poor Ji Chang Wook in New Teaser for Suspicious Partner

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 28, 2017 by ockoalaApril 27, 2017
Collage of characters in various dramatic situations.

Slapstick looks to be the dominant element in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner, or at least that appears to be the case judging by all the previews so far. There was the election dance spoof and now there is a beat up the poor besotted male lead moment first teased as a romantic moment. At least female lead Nam … Continue reading →

Nam Ji Hyun and Ji Chang Wook Introduce Suspicious Partner with Election Dance Spoof

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2017 by ockoalaApril 24, 2017
Promotional poster for a Korean drama series.

An election themed dance off on the beautiful balmly spring streets of Seoul is a creative intro for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner. I’m sufficiently entertained by how earnest and into it the entire cast gamely participates in this goofy bit, wringing comedy by committing to the silly. The drama arrives in two weeks after Saimdang: Light’s Diary finally … Continue reading →

Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun Brimming with Chemistry in First Stills From Suspicious Partner

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2017 by ockoalaApril 18, 2017
Happy couple embracing and smiling together.

If I’m going to pre-judge a K-drama OTP based solely on first stills then Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun have just won my heart. Their new drama Suspicious Partner doesn’t arrive until the first week of May, airing on SBS Wed-Thur time slot following Saimdang: Light’s Diary so this is the perfect time to slowly ramp up promos … Continue reading →

Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun are All Smiles at Script Reading for SBS Drama Suspicious Partner

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 12, 2017 by ockoalaApril 12, 2017
Actors engaged in a lively table read.

I’m so excited for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Suspicious Partner, regardless of the leading lady casting carousel and the litany of title changes. I never got invested in currently airing sageuk Saimdang: Light’s Diary and judging from the steady around 10% ratings neither did the audience despite the big name return of Lee Young Ae from a decade long acting … Continue reading →

Nam Ji Hyun in Talks to Join Ji Chang Wook in Suspicious Romance Formerly Called Beware of this Woman

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 29, 2017 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2017

Here’s hoping third time’s the charm in the leading lady casting for upcoming SBS drama Suspicious Romance, formerly called Beware of this Woman or Be Careful of this Woman. Aside from the drama title change, the casting of the female lead is now onto the third iteration and I like this one a lot – Nam Ji Hyun has been … Continue reading →

Triple Fashion Fails Hit the Star Attendees at VIP Movie Premiere of A Single Rider

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 24, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 23, 2017
Woman in leather jacket waving at event.

It’s a sigh of relief to see at least one star presence at the VIP premiere of the movie A Single Rider not look like a fashion victim. Other than Park Shin Hye, low key and effortlessly chic, everyone else got hit with either the clothing fail, the makeup monstrosity, and/or the hair woes. If I add Eom Ji Won … Continue reading →

K-stars Attend 2016 Asia Artist Awards in in Safe and Pretty Fashion Choices

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 20, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 19, 2016
Two women in elegant gowns on red carpet.

Last week was the 2016 Asia Artist Awards, which was by all accounts a giant steaming mess with ceremony glitches and a hodge podge of categories that made the very award seem superfluous. With that said, this awards ceremony managed to get a good showing of popular K-stars that skewed younger, with the biggest ladies being Suzy, Yoona, and Park Shin … Continue reading →

Press Conference and Long Preview for MBC Drama Shopping King Louie Premiering this Wednesday

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 20, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 20, 2016
Four people smiling at an event.

The arrival of MBC‘s new Wed-Thurs drama Shopping King Louie (Shopoholic Louis) snuck up on me, a combination of W: Two Worlds ending so listlessly and this drama not getting overly promoted. I’m totally going to check it out because the two leads Seo In Guk and Nam Ji Hyun are so winning in all the promos, from her patented … Continue reading →

Shopping King Louie Unveils Pretty in Pink Posters and Third Charming Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 12, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 11, 2016
Four main characters from a K-drama series.

The cuteness continues to build for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Shopping King Louie, a drama that didn’t land as leading man Yook Sung Jae but looks like it got an equally perfect casting with Seo In Guk. Both actors have their boyish charm that can get switched on for arrogance as needed, and in this role as the titular shopping … Continue reading →

Seo In Guk and Nam Ji Hyun are Sweet and Airy in First Couple Promos for Shopping King Louie

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 5, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 5, 2016
Couple in a shopping cart against pink background.

The promos for MBC drama Shopping King Louie are making me itch for a drama spree all thanks to the comfortable cuteness of leads Nam Ji Hyun and Seo In Guk. With currently airing MBC Wed-Thurs drama W: Two Worlds going off the narrative rails even with the whole fantasy sci-fi grain of salt, I’m so ready for something silly and … Continue reading →

Seo In Guk Luxuriates in Mega Riches and Nam Ji Hyun is a Super Country Girl in First Stills From Shopping King Louie

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 25, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 25, 2016

Uber rich chaebols or country girls are not a dime a dozen, not even in K-dramas even if it feels that way, so it’s going to be amusing to see the contrasting lifestyle sparks fly in upcoming MBC drama Shopping King Louie. I’m less into the concept as I am amused by how great leads Seo In Guk and Nam Ji … Continue reading →
