The first year end awards show took place the night of the 30th over at MBC which didn’t have a lot of dramas to work with in 2022 to fete but still managed to pull off the night. Winning Daesang was Lee Jong Seok for Big Mouth which was as expected. The drama also won Best Drama and Top Excellence … Continue reading →

MBC Sageuk The Forbidden Marriage with Kim Young Dae and Park Joo Hyun Continue to Release Woefully Underwhelming Posters and Promos

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 28, 2022 by ockoalaNovember 29, 2022
Character in traditional attire, aiming bow and arrow.

Normally I say expect the worse so one can hopefully get anything better than that and be happily surprised. But the promos for upcoming MBC sageuk drama The Forbidden Marriage have been just that bad that I’m happy none of my faves are in it. Half the problem is the leads though, with Kim Young Dae wasting an intriguing potential … Continue reading →

I have very low expectations for this upcoming sageuk drama lol but that’s a great thing because it has nowhere to go but up. MBC is readying for the November release of The Forbidden Marriage, taking over the Sat-Sun time slot from Gold Spoon. Based on a webtoon, the drama tells of a Crown Prince still mourning the death of … 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 →

Man with dark hair posing with perfume bottle.

I feel like this casting is ripe for winning the assemblage of leads with no track record of success in one drama but I do want the drama to be worth watching so I will just hope for the best. Casting is done for upcoming sageuk romance Joseon’s Ban on Marriage, adapted from the same name webtoon. Kim Young Dae … Continue reading →

I love a fast and fun heist money, even ones that are not perfect can still deliver a worthwhile two hours of entertainment. A big budget star studded one is coming soon from Netflix which is also expanding its Korean movie production and this one sounds fantastic! The streaming giant is funding the production of Seoul Vibe (Seoul Battle) and … Continue reading →

tvN Wed-Thurs Serial Killer Drama Mouse Ends with Trying to Tie Up Loose Ends But Leaves a Mixed Message

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 19, 2021 by ockoalaMay 20, 2021
"Character examining photos in a mystery theme."

My nearly 3 month long Wed-Thurs date with Lee Seung Gi is over, and zero regrets with the time spent. Unlike some of his stupider drama choices (*cough* Vagabond *cough*) this time tvn drama Mouse was too smart for its own good. It was like a math student who got the answer early on then trying to question and outthink … Continue reading →

2021 Baeksang Awards Releases Votes Received and Informative Behind the Scenes Discussion

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 →

tvN Thriller Drama Mouse Rises in Second Week Ratings to 6.202% as the Story and Characters Start to Coalesce in the Search for the New Serial Killer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 14, 2021 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2021
Cast of a Korean drama series, diverse expressions.

I found tvN Wed-Thurs drama Mouse a bit underwhelming last week, it didn’t grab me as the killings were exceedingly brutal but the characters unknown so it doesn’t emotionally connect. The first and second episodes also didn’t segue well, from the OG serial killer now behind bars to new investigations with some bumbling tone thrown in, I wasn’t quite feeling … Continue reading →

tvN Drama Mouse is Off to a Shaky Serial Killer Chase Premise as First Two Episodes Brings in 4.948% and 4.044% Ratings

Every time there is a Lee Seung Gi drama I’m on pins and needles hoping my boy picked well and doesn’t end up with a narrative stinker. His recently premiered tvN drama Mouse comes with high critical pedigree from the screenwriter of God’s Gift: 14 Days and Black and a lofty premise not just on catching a serial killer but … Continue reading →

tvN Detective Serial Killer Drama Mouse Continues with Gritty Character Posters and Tense New Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 10, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 9, 2021
Dramatic character portraits with red string connections.

Upcoming tvN drama Mouse is certainly marching in a no-nonsense way into its early March premiere, with none of the shiny glitzy promos and an overwhelming sense of dread. The first drama poster was pretty plain featuring male leads Lee Seung Gi and Lee Hee Joon staring at something with a police gaze and now the individual posters take the … Continue reading →
