A Koala's Playground Posted on February 26, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 26, 2021
Couple sitting together on a wooden bench.

MBC took a break in the Wed-Thurs time slot after The Spies Who Loved Me but next month in March will premiere a new drama called Oh My Ladylord (Oh! Master). I hate the title lol but the cast is promising with leads Lee Min Ki, Nana, and Kang Min Hyuk. However the premise sounds so much like a prior … Continue reading →

The 2020 KBS Drama Awards was a free for all as well, and a mix of face masks, social distancing, and still walking the red carpet. The bulk of the awards went to the various cast members of weekend drama Once Again and daily drama Homemade Love Story, as both were the sole shining ratings lights for the network. Daddy … Continue reading →

Well this is certainly out of left field. MBC has announced an upcoming rom-com titled Oh! Master and confirmed the leads to be Lee Min Ki and Nana. I know Nana is working hard to transform from idol to actress but this will be her fourth drama in two years after Kill It, Justice, and the most recent Memorials. Lee … Continue reading →

Kim Hye Ja and Jung Woo Sung Take Home the Drama and Movie Daesangs at the 2019 Baeksang Arts Award

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 2, 2019 by ockoalaMay 2, 2019
Award winners celebrating on stage together.

The 2019 Baeksang Arts Award was actually good for once, the winners moreso than the fashion which remains an uninspiring and safe sea of black and white gowns. Veteran queen Kim Hye Ja deservingly took home the Daesang (Grand Prize) for the television drama section for her performance as the older female lead in The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). … Continue reading →

Jang Ki Yong and Nana are Killer and Cop Just Walking to Work in New Stills from OCN Drama Kill It

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 11, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 10, 2019
Two people walking with shopping bags.

Just regular folks walking to walk is what the drama production team wants us to believe  when we see Nana and Jang Ki Yong in the latest stills from Kill It. The drab concrete jungle background, the matching serviceable and practical long black coats, she’s even in sneakers to be as just a regular gal as possible. But it’s impossible … Continue reading →

Jang Ki Yong and Nana Will Either Shoot Each Other or Make Out in Drama Posters for OCN Thriller Kill It

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 5, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 5, 2019
Action duo in stylish dark coats.

I’m sure the intention behind the posters for OCN drama Kill It is that the two leads are adversarial and on a cat-and-mouse type game with guns drawn. But I’m totally getting the vibe instead that leads Jang Ki Yong and Nana are thisclose to making out with so much heavy tension between them. He’s the contract killer and she’s … Continue reading →

The drama title for upcoming OCN thriller Kill It may just refer to how visually slaying the two leads are on paper and onscreen. Jang Ki Yong and Nana may not yet have a definitive drama role under their belts but they are exuding confidence and charisma by spades in the promos and now this Marie Claire pictorial promoting the … Continue reading →

First Look at Jang Ki Yong and Nana in OCN Drama Kill It

K-actor Jang Ki Yong is clearly primed to be the next It Boy in drama land and I’m fine with that. He toiled in bit parts and supporting roles for four years before his breakout as one of the antagonists in tvN drama My Ahjusshi and followed that up with his first leading role in the low rated Come and … Continue reading →

K-drama Four Sons Hits Ultimate Roadblock as Male Lead Park Hae Jin Halts Filming After Leading Lady Changes and Salary Snafus

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 26, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 26, 2018
Actors posing together at an event.

If ever a K-drama should just cut it losses I would suggest upcoming intended to be pre-produced Four Sons just call it quits now. The latest filming problem may be its biggest to date with reports that male lead Park Hae Jin has simply stopped showing up on set and not filmed anything since early November. The drama made the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 3, 2018 by ockoalaMay 3, 2018
Couple waving at an event in formal attire.

The fashion do’s and don’ts remain my favorite past time for awards shows, mostly because I can’t bother to care about winners that sometimes feel arbitrary or tied to popularity. The 2018 54th Annual Baeksang Arts Awards took place Thursday night on May 3rd in Seoul and the award winners were actually quite spot on picks for the most part. … Continue reading →

Casting has quietly finished up for the main leads of upcoming pre-filmed K-drama Four Men which was announced as the next Park Hae Jin drama vehicle with a story that is the prequel of sorts to his last drama Man to Man.

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 →
