Jang Dong Yoon, Nana, and Park Ki Woong Confirmed for Rom-com Drama My Man is Cupid

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 27, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 26, 2022
Two portraits of young adults, side by side.

This is definitely new year new start for K-actor Jang Dong Yoon. He was supposed to have had a fantastic 2021 with the highly anticipated big budget zombie sageuk Joseon Exorcist and that turned into him taking an extended hiatus until the whole cancellation brouhaha died down. This year he’s coming back with the rom-com drama My Man is Cupid … Continue reading →

Gorgeous Color Saturated Posters for MBC Drama Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2019 by ockoalaJune 29, 2019
Two characters in traditional Korean attire.

Let’s end the downer news week on a high note, shall we? MBC romance sageuk drama Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung released drama and character posters that tickle my fancy bone with a shot of creative pretty. I’m so enamored of the colors in this drama, pastels that aren’t washed out and plenty of artistic touches and details in the … Continue reading →

Jin Goo and Park Ki Woong Also Drop Out of K-drama Prometheus Following Ha Ji Won’s Exit

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 27, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 27, 2018
Two stylish men smiling at the camera.

The successive jumping off the side of the ship definitely feels like it’s sinking and it may be for the best. Massive thriller action K-dramas like IRIS and Athena are not easy to pull off and upcoming Prometheus seemed to have bit off more than it can chew. It was a political action conspiracy thriller spanning multiple overseas location shoots … Continue reading →

Cheese in the Trap Movie an Editing Mess and Brings in Paltry 228K Admissions

Some things are better left alone even if it wasn’t done properly, especially if the second go-around is going to be even worse in a different way. The Cheese in the Trap movie with returning male lead Park Hae Jin with new costars Oh Yeon Seo, Park Ki Woong, and Yoo In Young has spent three weeks in the Korean … Continue reading →

New Stills for Movie Cheese in the Trap Showcase Second Leads Visually Nailing Their Roles

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 3, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 1, 2018
Four illustrated characters promoting a drama series.

I haven’t read Cheese in the Trap webtoon so I can’t say whether the lead characters are less interesting than the second leads the way things played out in the live-action K-drama version that aired in 2016 on tvN. I do have a feeling that the second leads for the upcoming movie version may steal the show, for the drama … Continue reading →

Cheese in the Trap Movie with Park Hae Jin Along with New Cast Gets Valentine’s Weekend 2018 Premiere Date

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2018 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2018
Young man and woman smiling together, casual setting.

I’m not sure who the target audience is for the Cheese in the Trap movie but if there are any then the film has been confirmed to hit the theaters on Valentine’s Day weekend of 2018. That’s less than a month away and there hasn’t been any promos yet so that’s not going to bring in the audience by stealth. … Continue reading →

K-movie Version of Cheese in the Trap Holds First Cast Meeting and Readies for Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 26, 2017 by ockoalaMarch 25, 2017
Group of friends enjoying a meal together.

The reboot or continuation of K-drama Cheese in the Trap has kicked off as the movie cast gathered for their first production meeting. The only returnee from the drama is male lead Park Hae Jin, while the rest of the well-cast drama leads Kim Go Eun, Seo Kang Joon, and Lee Sung Kyung are all out. I don’t have a … Continue reading →

Cheese in the Trap Movie Finalizes Female Leads Casting of Oh Yeon Seo and Yoo In Young

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 17, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 16, 2017
Four celebrities at a promotional event.

The casting of the movie version of Cheese in the Trap would be considered perfect, if it was ten years ago for all four leads. The movie finished casting today with the additional of Yoo In Young as second female lead Baek In Ha, joining already confirmed female lead Oh Yeon Seo as Hong Seol. Oh Yeon Seo was hilarious … Continue reading →

Park Ki Woong Cast as Baek In Ho in Movie Version of Cheese in the Trap with Park Hae Jin

This year is off to a high profile casting start for Park Ki Woong – he’s just been confirmed to play the second male lead role of Baek In Ho in the movie version of Cheese in the Trap. It feels like eons ago when the drama aired early last year to tons of praise and then massive disappointment. I’m … Continue reading →

MBC’s Monster Gets Ready to Dish Out Revenge and Redemption

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 24, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2016
Five characters posing in a dramatic setting.

There is a major sense of deja vu when I look at anything related to upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Monster (Tyrant). Thankfully it’s not a negative emotion but some fondness for positives from the past. There’s leads Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri working together for the third time after Hong Gil Dong and Runway Cop, both moderately successful projects … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan Looks Diabolic in New Poster for MBC Drama Monster

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 20, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 21, 2016
Couple embracing with an emotional backdrop.

I think audiences who are going to tune in for upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Monster (Tyrant) will be doing so for the screenwriter as much as the talented cast. Writer Jang Young Chul rocketed to fame thanks to Giant and since then has penned a slew of well-received dramas from Incarnation of Money, History of the Salaryman, and Empress Ki. This … Continue reading →

MBC Plays Up Male Lead Bromance and Rivalry in New Stills for Monster and Goodbye Mr. Black

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 8, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 8, 2016
Two men examining a casket at a funeral.

MBC is going to face tough competition when it premieres two new prime time dramas in the coming weeks. First is Goodbye Mr. Black on Wed-Thurs, going up against runaway hit Descendants of the Sun and lowly rated but getting good audience feedback Please Come Back Ahjusshi. I think Mr. Black has a steeper climb compared to its same network sibling … Continue reading →

The Rest of the Leads of MBC Drama Monster Make Official Drama Stills Debut

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 5, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 6, 2016

With main lead Kang Ji Hwan out of the bag for upcoming MBC drama Monster (Tyrant), it’s nice of the production to keep up the trickle of goodies to hopefully maintain momentum. The drama is airing on Mon-Tues after Glamorous Temptation wraps up so won’t be landing in the crowded competitive time slot that is Wed-Thurs where Descendants of the … Continue reading →
