This is as powerhouse a K-drama as it gets with two Baeksang besting acting award winners and also an award winning screenwriter in Kim Eun Hee. SBS premiered Revenant (The Devil or The Demon) this weekend on the Fri-Sat time slot starring Kim Tae Ri and Oh Jung Se with what feels like a full length drama version of true … Continue reading →

K-actor Lee Min Ho really seems at ease playing an OB/GYN doctor in his next upcoming K-drama, fully comfortable with the purple scrubs and Crocs lol. The drama When the Stars Gossip (Korean title Ask the Stars) has wrapped filming and this week Lee Min Ho shared pictures from the set of him hanging with his costars. There is Gong … Continue reading →

Writer Kim Eun Hee Preps Early 2023 Horror Drama The Demon with First Casting News of Kim Tae Ri, Oh Jung Se, and Hong Kyung

Smiling woman waving with a phone in hand.

I applaud writer Kim Eun Hee for continuing to challenge herself and this genre of horror is in she’s been tangentially dabbling with in her recent dramas. Jirisan had spooky bits and zombie sageuk Kingdom was scary as heck at times though zombie occupies its own genre outside of just pure supernatural horror. Her upcoming early 2023 SBS drama The … Continue reading →

Netflix Drops First Poster and Trailer for Heist Delivery Movie Seoul Vibe with Yoo Ah In, Go Kyung Pyo, Park Joo Hyun, Lee Kyu Hyung, and Ong Seung Woo

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 30, 2022 by ockoalaJuly 29, 2022
Car driving on a highway with city view.

Recently Netflix has been getting flack for its self-produced shows and movies, namely that there hasn’t been as good a quality as previous years and the hits from this year come from licensed shows that stream on the platform. I wouldn’t signal the death knell on Netflix anytime soon but I’m selfishly wishing all its new movies and dramas are … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 9, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2022
Man and boy share a meaningful gaze.

I’m glad it’s not all underwhelming or controversial dramas going on in K-ent right now, there is a big positive K-drama development that is finally getting mainstream recognition. Small cable network TV Chosun premiered the K-drama Uncle last month in December right before the holiday season ramp up and it started with 2.351% ratings. Not horrible for TV Chosun actually … Continue reading →

Four actors holding awards at an event.

Well this will put naysayers and conspiracy theorists to rest (I hope). The 2021 Baeksangs Awards released tons of behind the scenes information related to the voting for the winners and hold your horses because this stuff is super illuminating. Yoo Jae Suk was given the Daesang with 6 votes in the fast voting time this year in any category, … Continue reading →

Beyond Evil Wins Best Drama at 2021 Baeksang Awards with Shin Ha Kyun and Kim So Yeon Taking Home the Best Acting Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 13, 2021 by ockoalaMay 13, 2021
Four actors holding awards at an event.

A nicely laudatory ceremony for the 2021 Baeksang Awards wrapped up tonight in South Korea and I’m pretty happy with the results. The Daesang went to Yoo Jae Suk for his continued exemplary work as a variety star and host, so it wasn’t given to the drama side. Beyond Evil took home Best Drama and male lead Shin Ha Kyun … Continue reading →

The 2020 SBS Drama Awards are in the bag and boy was it a stuffed bag. The stars didn’t do the red carpet, only hosts Kim Yoo Jung and Shin Dong Yeop was masked and met the media. The attendees from presenters to winners were segregated in rooms in the back and only came out to accept awards so this … Continue reading →

It’s Okay to Not be Okay Ends with Episode 16 Ratings High of 6.224% and 7.348% and a Perfect Complete Story With Heart and Soul

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2020 by ockoalaAugust 10, 2020
Romantic moments between two characters.

Two decades of Hallyu dramas under the belt leaves me a bit jaded and always guarded for the other shoe to drop, namely a really crappy ending. Not that an ending is unhappy for the OTP, even happy endings have been crappy because it’s unsatisfying in tying up loose ends and giving the characters their proper conclusion. Everything about the … Continue reading →

The Cast of It’s Okay Not be Okay Get Ready to Say Goodbye with Final 2 Episodes This Weekend

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 7, 2020 by ockoalaAugust 7, 2020
Collage of dramatic scenes from a television series.

It’s finale weekend for weekend drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay, and it’s been a fantastic ride even with the rather unorthodox turn in last weekend’s episodes. Since it’s live streamed on Netflix I watch it on TV rather than my computer and oftentimes Mr. Koala and the Koala Teens wander by and watch a few minutes and ask … Continue reading →

Man and woman in a dimly lit room.

This was a rough episode of It’s Okay to Not be Okay to watch, probably as dark as it gets with both the narrative and the title fairy tale written by Moon Young of The Hand, The Monkfish,. There is usually some levity in each episode, and a sense of hopefulness, but episode 14 was the hammer dropping of both … Continue reading →
