Script Reading and First Teaser for Strong Woman Do Bong Soon with Park Bo Young, Park Hyung Sik, and Ji Soo

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 8, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 8, 2017
Actors holding script copies with smiling faces.

It’s an all-around strong production team and cast for upcoming cable network jTBC drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, one that bodes well for the network delivering something bright and funny rather than it’s usual serious fare. Starring Park Hyung Sik and Park Bo Young, perpetual second male lead and scene-stealer in the right role Ji Soo adds a strong … Continue reading →

Hwarang Flower Boys Revert to Modern Selves in New High Cut Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 14, 2016 by ockoalaDecember 16, 2016
K-pop group posing with musical instruments.

This is so disconcerting to see visual proof that the casting of upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Hwarang may indeed be wholly unsuitable for the sageuk setting and a potential slam dunk if moved to the modern times. The drama premieres next week and will be a chance for the network to replace super low rated The Man Living in Our … Continue reading →

Character Previews for Hwarang Put Goofy Action in Sageuk Setting

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 10, 2016 by ockoalaDecember 9, 2016
Three characters in traditional attire.

The arrival of Shilla flower boys is a little less than two weeks ago and I don’t know if KBS is relieved that the very low rated The Man Living in Our House is ending or worried that it’s sunk cost pre-filmed sageuk Hwarang is still going to have to go up against the tail end of the big Mon-Tues … Continue reading →

Hwarang Drops New Lead Trio Poster and Story Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 5, 2016 by ockoalaDecember 4, 2016
Three characters smiling in historical costumes.

The bar is set high for upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Hwarang, not necessarily because the drama is touting itself high but due to the recent slew of successful hits. There’s sageuk predecessor Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, medical dramas Doctors and Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim, and fantasy dramas Legend of the Blue Sea and Goblin. The drama is fully pre-produced and … Continue reading →

Second Preview for Hwarang Plays Up Shilla Era Warrior Training Hijinks

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 1, 2016 by ockoalaDecember 1, 2016
Korean drama scene with multiple characters.

It’s December which means KBS is mere weeks away from premiering its flower boy sageuk Hwarang in the Mon-Tues time slot. The network hit a homerun this year already with youth romance sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds but this one is different from tone to narrative conceit. Hwarang’s just released second preview makes it seem like a Shilla era army … Continue reading →

Hwarang Leads Looking Colorful and Cheery in Latest Drama Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 27, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 25, 2016
Woman in traditional attire, painting and smiling.

It can’t be just me who thinks that the male cast of upcoming KBS sageuk Hwarang looks like the Shilla power rangers. There’s the different yet fully coordinating awkward hair pieces, followed by the extremely colorful costumes that take flower boy to new heights of flower inspired attire. It’s actually the first sageuk drama for the three leads Park Seo … Continue reading →

First Teaser and BTS Video of Hwarang Filming Continues the Awkward Cringe Factor

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 22, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 21, 2016
Behind-the-scenes moments from a drama filming.

The level of likely fail headed our way with less than a month from the premiere of KBS sageuk Hwarang appears to be inching higher. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want the drama to suck and was quite looking forward to this tale of Shilla era pretty boy warrior scholars, but then it’s become impossible to ignore the ridiculous … Continue reading →

KBS Sageuk Hwarang Obtains Chinese Approval for December Simulcast But Male Leads Still Saddled with Awful Hair

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 15, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 15, 2016
Two characters in traditional attire smiling together.

I’m having a hard time imagining that the costume designers for upcoming KBS sageuk Hwarang all agreed that it was a great idea to buy the wigs used for the male leads. It was with that or everyone is blind on that team because I still can’t get over how collectively hideous the locks are. I mean, Park Hyung Sik … Continue reading →

More Flowery Leads in the Forest as Hwarang Drops Supporting Cast Character Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 9, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 8, 2016
Six characters from a historical drama series.

I certainly hope KBS new what it was doing when it optioned upcoming flower boy sageuk Hwarang: The Beginning earlier this year when it went into pre-filmed development. After the runaway success of the network’s last sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, even more eyes will be on whether Hwarang can bring in the same viewership when it’s brand of pretty … Continue reading →

Literal Flower Boys Stroll Through the Woods in Drama Poster for Hwarang: The Beginning

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 2, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2016
Smiling woman holding a paintbrush outdoors.

Someone in the production team of upcoming KBS sageuk Hwarang: The Beginning took the flower boy in the Korean title much too literally. The Shilla era sageuk is about the well known corps of historical time flower boy warrior scholars who won battles with their collective pretty, or something like that. The newest set of drama and character posters are … Continue reading →

Now this is a thoroughly unexpected but potentially very cute onscreen coupling. Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Sik have just confirmed their lead roles in upcoming cable network jTBC drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. This is great news for Park Bo Young fans as she eschewed dramas for so many years and came back last year with the … Continue reading →
