Smiling man in a stylish gray coat.

The latest episode 10 of Memories of Alhambra hit its highest ratings ever with 9.207% and its weekly buzz ratings also jumped to right below Sky Castle so it’s the perfect time for the cast to celebrate with the drama wrap party. The drama started filming in the summer with an extended location shoot in Spain covering scenes from the … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye Elegant in Blue and Crystals at Swarovski Event in Hong Kong

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 27, 2018 by ockoalaDecember 26, 2018
Young woman in blue dress, looking thoughtfully.

Earlier this month Park Shin Hye jetted to Hong Kong for what I thought was the MAMA ceremony but in actually to attend a store opening CF event for the jewelry brand Swarovski which she has repped for many years in South Korea. I got sidetracked by following along with the fun and frustrating watch of her currently airing tvN … Continue reading →

Episodes 7-8 of Memories of Alhambra Stays Ratings Steady as Jin Woo’s Quest Remains the Central Focus

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2018 by ockoalaDecember 24, 2018
Dramatic scenes from a romantic thriller series.

This weekend’s episode 7-8 of Memories of Alhambra got me interest back fully and completely building upon the better episodes 5-6 from last week. But the caveat is that this drama no longer has any hope of a meaningful romance for me and the sole narrative is Jin Woo’s quest – his mistakes and the need (literally his life is … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye and Hyun Bin in New Media Stills for Memories of Alhambra

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 21, 2018 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2018
Couple posing closely in elegant attire.

It took me six episodes to get invested in Memories of Alhambra but better late than never. I really do love episode 6, it’s the only one I’ve felt the urge to rewatch and got more out of it the second time around especially the visceral fear yet tight control Hyun Bin is showcasing as Jin Woo. I hope the … Continue reading →

Memories of Alhambra Wraps Up Spain Scenes in Episode 6 as Ratings Goes Back Up to 7.863%

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2018 by ockoalaDecember 16, 2018
Four scenes from a Korean drama series.

I legit breathed a sigh of relief after nervously hitting play on episode 6 of tvN Sat-Sun drama Memories of Alhambra. If it continued to stay narratively and emotionally limpid I was tempted to cut my losses despite Hyun Bin killing it (pun intended) in his role of Jin Woo. Thank goodness episode 6 righted the ship and not a … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye is Tres Chic Heading to Hong Kong for the Swarovski Event

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 11, 2018 by ockoalaDecember 12, 2018
Woman with long hair in stylish jacket.

Oooooh, I so love Park Shin Hye‘s head to toe look at Incheon airport today leaving South Korea for Hong Kong to attend a Swarovski event as she reps the brand. She looks relatively comfortable with a black tunic dress paired with thigh high soft suede stiletto boots and a leather biker coat with sherpa lining. The hair is casually feminine … Continue reading →

The drama finally reversed a two episode slight ratings dip since it’s premiere episode as this past Sunday’s episode 4 rose to 8.154%, a notable increase from episode 3 which was in the 6% range.

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 6, 2018 by ockoalaDecember 7, 2018
Four scenes featuring characters in various settings.

There’s a delicate balance when doing a drama with a mysterious element in doling out the reveals without leaving viewers too confused and in the dark. So far tvN Sat-Sun drama Memories of Alhambra is doing a solid job at that, we know Park Shin Hye‘s character’s younger brother played by Chanyeol wrote a AR quest game set in Granada, … Continue reading →

Two characters in a tense conversation.

The second episode of tvN Sat-Sun drama Memories of Alhambra got 7.363% AGB nationwide ratings, a slight drop from the premiere episode but still very strong for a cable drama. I know folks will compare with the premiere two episodes earlier this week of the other high profile tvN drama Encounter (Boyfriend), in the Wed-Thurs slot doing over 8% in … Continue reading →

There’s double the star power and excitement at the press conference for weekend tvN fantasy romance drama Memories of Alhambra, with leads Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye looking as good together in person as they have in the previews so far.

VR and Fantasy Collide in Spain in New Previews for tvN Romance Memories of Alhambra

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2018
Man looking worried; woman with roses smiling.

I think anticipation among K-drama viewers is neck-and-neck between two tvN dramas Memories of Alhambra and Boyfriend. They don’t compete with each other in time slot but the high profile lead casting is certainly generating fandom excitement. I’m personally more interested in Memories, with the cool VR/AR concept, action-hero (or anti-hero?) Hyun Bin, and hostel owner and guitar playing Park … Continue reading →
