First Teaser for Glamorous Temptation Piles on the Idyllic Romance with Kim Sae Ron and Nam Joo Hyuk

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 15, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 15, 2015
Romantic moments from a Korean drama series.

The upcoming Mon-Tues time slot is going to be up for grabs in a few weeks, once Mrs. Cop wraps up on SBS and doddering Splendid Politics (Hwajung) finally shuffles off after it 100 50 episode run on MBC. There’s also Eccentric Daughter-in-law ending on KBS, but that one never made any headway and its successor the cheerleading high school drama … Continue reading →

Two school students smiling outdoors.

At first glance, I thought a newspaper had just spliced an old picture of Kim Sae Ron in Hi! School: Love On next to a still of Nam Joo Hyuk from Who Are You: School 2015, that’s how much each looks like a character from their previous dramas. A closer look reveals them to be wearing the same school uniform, … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 30, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 30, 2015
Actors engaged in a script reading session.

There’s nothing wrong with deciding to watch a drama for any personal reason, however big, small, or totally nonsensical. In the case upcoming MBC 50-episode weekend drama Glamorous Temptation, my decision to watch for the first ten episodes featuring the teen portion for Kim Sae Ron seems like a perfectly legit and safe choice. Usually dramas start off better than … Continue reading →

Regardless of the varying opinions on rising young actor Nam Joo Hyuk‘s acting talent, or lack thereof, he continues to get prime acting gigs one after another this year. On the heels of being the male lead in the KBS teen identity mystery drama Who Are You: School 2015, then landing a supporting role in the much talked about drama adaptation … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun and Nam Joo Hyuk Join Park Hae Jin in Cheese in the Trap

Three smiling individuals in casual outfits.

One casting was confirmed last week and the other just dropped, but since I didn’t get around to writing about the former then it’s more efficient to just lump it with the latter for the purpose of this post. Upcoming tvN drama Cheese in the Trap gets more mouse in its clutches with the addition of a leading lady in … Continue reading →

Nam Joo Hyuk In the Pages of Tenasia for Post Who Are You: School 2015 Interview

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 29, 2015 by ockoalaJune 29, 2015

The curious case of model-actor Nam Joo Hyuk in his first leading man stint in just finished drama Who Are You: School 2015 is sure to incite heated debates. I fall in the camp of liking him in School 2015, he is easy on the eyes with a great leading man build that fills up the camera screen, followed by … Continue reading →

I’m going to have to commend InStyle Korea for having good taste and plenty of insightful predictive ability. Back in December 2014, the magazine did a spread on four rising acting talent to watch in 2015, and now five months into 2015 the magazine appears to have hit the nail on the head. InStyle Korea featured Yoon Kyun Sang from … Continue reading →

Who Are You: School 2015 Gears Up for Premiere Next Week with New Posters and Previews

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 22, 2015 by ockoalaApril 22, 2015
Three characters by the water, romantic setting.

Each installment in the School series of K-dramas is its own entity, with a different screenwriter, PD, and cast. That means the recent success of School 2013 can’t and won’t provide any clue as to the ultimate fate of upcoming Who Are You: School 2015. With Blood all wrapped up School 2015 takes over the KBS Mon-Tues time slot starting … Continue reading →

KBS Releases Script Reading Stills for Upcoming Dramas Producer and School 2015

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 5, 2015 by ockoalaApril 5, 2015
Actors reading scripts during a group meeting.

Ready or not, two new K-dramas are coming and both share the common thread of starting filming recently and being produced by KBS. The network kicks the new week into gear by releasing script reading pictures from both dramas. The more high profile one oddly gets the less high profile time slot – Producer starring Cha Tae Hyun, Gong Hyo … Continue reading →

Three young people posing for photos.

I wouldn’t call the casting process for upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Who Are You: School 2015 beleaguered exactly, but it certainly wasn’t as slam dunk as one would think considering the School drama franchise has kick-started so many acting careers in the past. The drama is a short month away from its premiere and finally has the leading cast confirmed … Continue reading →

Korea’s Fashionable Best and Brightest Out for 2014 Style Icon Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 29, 2014

The 2014 Style Icon Awards took place in Seoul yesterday and I’ll admit this whole excuse for celebs to get dressed up would have bypassed my interest but for Kim Soo Hyun winning yet another award there. I can’t believe his year of winning every single award even managed to transcend over to style and fashion categories. This recently created … Continue reading →
