The Smiling Cast of SBS Weekend Drama Let Me Introduce Her Color Coordinated at Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 13, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 13, 2018
Group of people taking a selfie together.

I’m a sucker for a good group selfie and this is just adorable as the cast of weekend drama Let Me Introduce Her (About Her) showed off their brightest smiles and best knee bends for the ladies. Even better is how perfectly the cast is color and outfit coordinated, this was a concerted group effort to dress in different colors … Continue reading →

Makjang Mood Permeates Dramatic Teaser for Weekend Drama About Her with Nam Sang Mi and Kim Jae Won

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 6, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 5, 2018
Dramatic scenes from a romantic drama series.

There is already so much makjang slathered on upcoming SBS weekend drama About Her it might be the reason the background color looks so grey and overcast in the teaser preview. While normally the love story between a plastic surgeon and his patient under the knife feels rather icky, this time Nam Sang Mi’s character goes for a full facial … Continue reading →

Nam Sang Mi Looks Prettily Confused in First Stills for SBS Weekend Drama About Her

I’m glad that I can still get excited for a K-drama based on casting, I was feeling burnt out a few years ago but then found a new balance on how to keep watching dramas and write about it without it turning into a monotonous chore. That reset has kept the fire alive and it feels like a throwback to … Continue reading →

SBS Weekend Drama About Her with Nam Sang Mi, Kim Jae Won, and Jo Hyun Jae Round Out Decent Supporting Cast

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 8, 2018 by ockoalaJune 8, 2018
Three people posing for a photo together.

The moving parts that went into assembling the next SBS weekend drama unexpectedly rounded up not just leads I like but a supporting cast that’s also quite solid. Currently SBS drama Secret Mother is piling on the lies, makjang, and conflict, but once it wraps the next drama About Her will pull a plastic surgery and memory loss double whammy … Continue reading →

Jo Hyun Jae Joins Kim Jae Won and Nam Sang Mi in Weekend Drama If It Is Her

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 23, 2018 by ockoalaMay 23, 2018

Growing older can be a fight against the tides or the accepting of something that feels inevitable and rather heartfelt. I subscribe to the latter which means I’m happy to hear that Jo Hyun Jae is joining the weekend drama If It is Her along with confirmed leads Nam Sang Mi and Kim Jae Won. It’s like all my favorite … Continue reading →

Kim Jae Won and Nam Sang Mi Cast as Leads for SBS Mystery Romance If It Is Her

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 20, 2018 by ockoalaMay 18, 2018
Young man and woman in stylish outfits.

Ooooh, I like this casting very much especially for a weekend drama. SBS has cast Kim Jae Won and Nam Sang Mi as the leads for its next weekend drama called If It Is Her, taking over the time slot in early July from Secret Mother. The drama sounds melo but in a throwback hilarious face-changing way. Nam Sang Mi … Continue reading →

Press Conference Fashion Fails From Hyun Bin, Shin Mina, and Nam Sang Mi

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 25, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2017

It’s a bit of an unfortunate coincidence to have three instances of fashion heresy on the same week, and in this case one offender did it twice with two different fugly outfits. Lots of premieres are coming in dramas and movies which affords fans the opportunity to see oppa and unni doing press conferences, and also the opportunity to see … Continue reading →

Previews and Stills of Namgong Min as Gangster Turned Chief Kim in New KBS Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 12, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2017
Office scene with three people interacting.

Of the upcoming Wed-Thurs K-dramas, I’m most keen to check out Chief Kim on KBS, taking over on January 25th after Oh My Geum Bi ends this week followed by a short drama Naked Fireman. Missing 9 will depend on how the drama navigates the suspense element where the viewer is told the ending and work backwards to trace how … Continue reading →

2014 KBS Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2014

Despite being the perennial prime time ratings loser in 2014, the KBS Drama Awards was heads and tails better than what MBC put on the night before in both fashion, star power, and actually awarding quality acting. Of course not every deserving performance got recognized but the network tried and didn’t pander as much to promoting the young and pretty. Veteran … Continue reading →

KBS in Lurch with Iron Man: Lead-in Joseon Gunman Extended 2-episodes and Follow-up Healer Complete Main Cast

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 4, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 4, 2014

There’s a storm brewing in the KBS Wed-Thurs time slot and hopefully this week will iron (har har) things out fully. Joseon Gunman has been leading the ratings but it’s a nominal victory since all three dramas including It’s Okay, It’s Love and Fated to Love You are are so close together and have plenty of buzz. I like it … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi Bring Their Potent Chemistry to the Pages of Bazaar Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 13, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2014

This post has been long overdue since the gorgeous pictures here were released last month in June prior to the premiere of the currently airing KBS sageuk Joseon Gunman. Leads Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi shot a moody throwback pictorial for Bazaar Korea that takes them out of drama character and plops them into an early twentieth century … Continue reading →

Joseon Gunman Gears Up for Premiere this Week with Press Conference and More Teasers

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2014 by ockoalaJune 22, 2014

The Wed-Thurs time slot has been devoid of a K-drama that really connects with me ever since Miss Korea wrapped up. Many were watchable like A New Leaf or Sly and Single Again, and others totally a pass such as Golden Cross or Three Days. I had hoped You’re All Surrounded would live up to the hype but its sadly lived … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi Shine in First Couple’s Stills for Joseon Gunman

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 17, 2014 by ockoalaJune 17, 2014

The two cuties of Joseon Gunman have unleashed their adorableness on the drama world and seriously brightened up what was an otherwise crazy start to the drama week. Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi are seen together in the first ever couple stills for the upcoming sageuk drama in what looks like the pre-gunman days. Wearing various pretty outfits, … Continue reading →
