Two action-packed movie posters featuring intense scenes.

The 2024 Baeksang Arts Awards took place this Tuesday May 7th in Seoul and it was also the 60th year of the event so a milestone for sure. There is a lot to digest so let’s get to it!

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 8, 2023 by ockoalaJune 8, 2023
Cast portraits from a Korean drama series.

Congrats to the Bad Mom (The Good Bad Mother) and her complicated loving relationship with her son as the jTBC weekday drama ends with this Thursday’s episode 14. Most K-dramas are 16-episodes, some 20 and a few even 12-episodes but this is an odd length as I can recollect. Other than that the drama was a one way success train, … Continue reading →

Cast portraits from a Korean drama series.

I was just writing about weekend jTBC drama Doctor Cha which has broken 13% ratings and is a massive hit for the cable network with many more episodes left. Then I looked over and the same network has another hit in the Wed-Thurs time slot, the same time slot that tvN announced it was abandoning and the other three network … Continue reading →

Ra Mi Ran and Lee Do Hyun Get a Second Chance at Familial Love in jTBC Drama The Good Bad Mother

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 24, 2023 by ockoalaMarch 23, 2023
Two characters standing in a barn setting.

I loved 18 Again and Hello, Me! and this one sounds right up the same alley. The do-over or second chance drama especially if it’s about familial ties just tugs at my heartstrings, it’s deeper and more poignant than just lovers and romantic love and also gives veterans and youngsters both equal chance to shine. Upcoming jTBC drama The Good … Continue reading →

Cast posing at movie premiere event.

So things are not exactly off to a glowing start for high profile K-movie Alienoid (Alien+Human Part 1), which held a media premiere last week on July 13th and got back mixed reviews. There were a lot of critics grumbling that the movie has too many characters and is rather disjointed, but the good reviews are that the movie is … Continue reading →

Collage of actors in monochrome portraits.

Here comes the first look at some of the ladies in the Korean Actor 200 list and hoo boy it’s a great cross-section of age, experience, and charisma. The actresses in the first batch of stills include living legend Youn Yeo Jung and Ssangmyundong cheetah Ra Min Ran and with these two I’m already swooning.

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 24, 2019 by ockoalaNovember 24, 2019
Two women interact in a stairwell setting.

tvN is putting more genre and serious fare in the Mon-Tues time slot, there’s subway cop investigative drama Catch the Ghost right now and next comes teaching school drama Black Dog in early December. Black Dog reminds me so much of J-doramas as the teacher inspiration and growth genre is done much more frequently there, and of course remade to … Continue reading →

Elegant woman in black dress at event.

Screenwriter Baek Mi Kyung can wear the achievement of lifting cable network jTBC to new drama heights after doing successively bigger hits there from My Love Eundong to Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and the latest with Women of Dignity. Unlike Park Hye Ryun who I finally concede sticks with what works and has grown progressively lackluster, Baek Mi Kyung’s … Continue reading →

Fierce Ladies Turn the Tide in tvN Wed-Thurs Drama Avengers Social Club

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 9, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 8, 2017
Three women in suits, dramatic perspective.

I joked recently that Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won achieved freedom after they wrapped tvN Wed-Thurs drama Criminal Minds, because the K-version was so mediocre and a big disappointment vis-a-vis the talented cast and copious amounts of money and publicity tossed at it. The network gets to reset this week with the start of Avengers Social Club (Buamdong … Continue reading →
