K-netizens Wonder if Reborn Rich Will Join the Pantheon of Event K-dramas in the Last Five Years Kicked Off by Sky Castle

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 14, 2022 by ockoalaDecember 14, 2022
Three scenes featuring dramatic character interactions.

High ratings usually means buzz but it takes an extraordinary set of circumstances to become a breakout so-called Event K-drama. That’s been the trend in recent years after the overall ratings decrease across the board in K-drama viewing with audiences going online rather than surrounding the television as a family in the evenings. K-ent is watching closely whether jTBC weekend … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 23, 2021
Four scenes featuring couples and families together.

Opinions are just that, subjective and definitely not meant to be taken so seriously that one gets offended by an opinion that is different. I never take myself seriously, what I like today can even be different tomorrow lol. This week South Korean entertainment website FeeLM released the results of a reader poll on Best Drama Couple of 2021 and … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 19, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 19, 2021
Black and white portrait of two actors.

I feel like SBS only had surface skimmings when it came to picking the 5 sets of 2021 K-drama OTPs for it’s Best Couple Award nominees at the upcoming Year End Drama Awards. I don’t know who will win but none stand out as OMG such amazing chemistry and/or such a memorable and meaningful love story. One is even so … Continue reading →

Historical drama poster with three characters.

The counterpart to the Joynews insider poll on the Best Dramas of 2021 is also here, the same group of over 200 K-ent professionals were asked what their pick for Worst Drama of the year was. I was not expecting to see this drama make the list since it aired only 2-episodes before it was yanked but by a Titanic … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 12, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 12, 2021
Two people in a car, rain outside.

I feel like every few years I see a post as angry and filled with lots of participation because it just takes everyone down memory (headdesk) lane. The ending this weekend of Penthouse with the everyone dies AND two of the dead people get married in the afterlife really triggered folks and I don’t blame them. Is Penthouse up there … Continue reading →

Four people in elegant attire, discussing.

SBS Friday mega makjang drama Penthouse, currently in the 3rd and last season, is one of those dramas I feel like nobody needs to watch but everyone can figure out simply by following along with news coverage and more important K-netizen rage commentary.

Netizens Still Tune in for the Comedic Absurdity of Penthouse Season 3 as Mummified Logan Lee is Resurrected Looking Like the Villain of Inuyasha

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 16, 2021 by ockoalaJuly 18, 2021
Emotional scenes of grief and mourning.

I’m glad SBS Friday night drama Penthouse season 3 is still a hit and that I’ve never been inclined to watch it, because that means all I consume are the brilliant/absurd nuggets from each new episode as viewers watch and rail at each successively more crazy development. This week Logan Lee is resurrected after being BLOWN UP in a car … Continue reading →

Viewers Are Hate-watching Season 3 of SBS Mega Makjang Drama Penthouse as It Keeps Jumping the Shark

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 3, 2021 by ockoalaJuly 3, 2021
Emotional scenes of grief and mourning.

If I thought the SBS hit drama Penthouse was a makjang fest from the beginning clearly the screenwriter was all “hold my beer” and primed to keep one upping herself in crazy/bizarre/absurd plot developments. Season 2 was a bigger hit that season 1 with extra high ratings but now season 3 has dropped off a ratings cliff thanks to the … Continue reading →

Penthouse 3’s Offensive and Absurd Use of Park Eun Seok Playing a Gangster Older Brother Unites Every Drama Fandom in Anger, Indignation, and Now Mockery

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 13, 2021 by ockoalaJune 13, 2021
Four scenes featuring diverse characters interacting.

SBS hasn’t been quick on the draw in defusing the collective angry reaction from drama viewer’s to the Penthouse season 3 twist that Park Eun Seok the actor would be back on the show but not as Logan Lee instead as his bomb ass rich gangster brother Alex Lee. Usually drama twists elicit differing opinions but I yet to come … Continue reading →

SBS Hit Drama Penthouse Season 3 Brings Back Park Eun Seok as Racially Offensively Styled Twin Brother Character to Logan Lee

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 11, 2021 by ockoalaJune 11, 2021
Two characters in a dramatic outdoor scene.

I still don’t know why viewers enjoy watching SBS drama Penthouse which has been the biggest hit on South Korean television in years and is now on season 3. It just feels like a star-studded makjang-ier version of hit cable drama Sky Castle, rich people in-fighting with a sprinkling of death and tsunamis of betrayal. With that said, my perplexation … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 1, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 1, 2020
Korean drama posters for "Start-Up" and "War in Life."

I haven’t checked in on the weekly Good Data rankings on the television side for a few months, during the fall it was basically unchanged from Record of Youth and Park Bo Gum topping the chart. Lots of new dramas have arrived since then so taking a fresh look it’s nice to see lots of new names on the list. … Continue reading →

Group of characters from a drama series.
