High Society Drops More Deliciously Pretty Drama Previews

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 2, 2015 by ockoalaJune 2, 2015
Romantic drama scene with two couples.

With Heard it Through the Grapevine wrapped up this week, I can devote all my attention on the next SBS Mon-Tues drama High Society (formerly Chaebol’s Daughter). It is reportedly getting an English title of The Privileged, which sounds like a horror show circa The CW, so I’ll stick with calling it the translation of the Korean title of High … Continue reading →

High Society with UEE and Sung Joon Release Creatively Eye-catching Drama Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 30, 2015 by ockoalaMay 30, 2015
Four characters with contrasting moral messages.

I was planning on checking out upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama High Society (formerly Chaebol’s Daughter) no matter what. I loved the teaser promos with leads UEE and Sung Joon making out with youthful tenderness, not to mention the first drama previews looked interesting on the narrative front. UEE is a chaebol’s youngest daughter who goes undercover as a market clerk, hiding … Continue reading →

The Leads of High Society Continue to Bring the Pretty Youthful Energy in Latest Preview and Stills

This probably doesn’t bode well on the quality predictor scale that I’m this excited about upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama High Society (formerly Chaebol’s Daughter and briefly flirted with being called True Romance). And then I realize that plenty of dramas I’ve loved have been less than stellar fare but simply delivered a stirring romance. With that fallback option available, I can … Continue reading →

High Society Teases with First Cast Poster and Sparks Flying First Meeting of UEE and Park Hyung Sik

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 21, 2015 by ockoalaMay 20, 2015
Four stylish individuals at a fancy party.

I’m getting way too excited about High Society based on all the teaser material, when experience reminds me that good promos do not guarantee good drama and dull teasers similarly doesn’t mean a drama is dead on arrival. With that said, I just want to soak up the teaser excitement for a little while longer, I really love the way … Continue reading →

The Casts of Scholar Who Walks the Night and High Society Get Busy Script Reading

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 17, 2015 by ockoalaMay 17, 2015
Group script reading session with actors and crew.

The work week is off to a nice start in drama land with the release of script reading stills from two upcoming dramas that I’m looking forward to. Even better is that these two dramas aren’t competing against each other in the same time slot so I can enjoy both without feeling like I’m picking between favorites. MBC is prepping … Continue reading →

Four individuals posing for photos.

I’m not always right when I post casting rumors and speculations based on industry chatter, sometimes it falls through and other times it was industry just wishful thinking. But putting the caveat in front of all those maybe, could be, might happen drama casting posts allows for early discussion on upcoming dramas and that’s something I find totally fun to … Continue reading →

SBS Looks for New Leads as Both Moon Geun Young and Park Seo Joon Decline Chaebol’s Daughter

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 9, 2015 by ockoalaApril 9, 2015
Two portraits of stylish young actors.

I hope SBS didn’t snigger too much when it saw the casting woes lately over on MBC with both Scholar Who Walks the Night and Feeling Good and Warm and also befalling KBS with Who Are You: School 2015. If SBS felt like gloating then it’s time for some humble pie as karma just arrived to smack upcoming SBS Mon-Tues … Continue reading →

Cute Drama Couple Nam Ji Hyun and Park Hyung Sik Showcase Affection at CF Event

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 5, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 4, 2015

I’m still happily watching the KBS hit weekend drama What’s with the Family but I’ve lost that feverish fervor for it. That invariably happens when following along with something so long running, not to mention a story with so many stages would be hard pressed to connect with me every step of the way. No knock on WWTF as it … 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 →

Bike Repair Shop Drops Insanely Cute Hug CF with Nam Ji Hyun and Park Hyung Sik

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 23, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 23, 2014

I’m pleased my pimp post for What’s With The Family got some folks to check it out. Hopefully everyone likes this easy-watching weekend family drama enough to continue on with 30 more episodes to go. I’m certainly in it for the long haul, though my interest will obviously wax and wane depending on what the current story line is involving … Continue reading →

Eric Comes Out on Top of Korean TV Critic Assessment of Recent Idol Acting Performances

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 18, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 18, 2014

This is a worth reading commentary from a veteran Korean television critic on the recent batch of idols acting in K-dramas. Published in entertainment news MBN, the critic rated the performances from the August-September dramas where veteran to newbie idol-actors were given roles of varying prominence. To now one’s surprise, and I’ll even argue there can be no disagreement here, … Continue reading →

Nam Ji Hyun Gets Some Park Hyung Sik Oppa Affection in New Couples Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 13, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2014

After 17-episodes my heart is won and the Dal Bong-Seo Wool ship in What’s With the Family is one of my favorite drama pairings of the year. They are so age-appropriately darling it makes my heart hurt when either or both so much as sniffle. Park Hyung Sik is 22 year old while Nam Ji Hyun is 19 years old, … Continue reading →
