After releasing the list of current most popular K-dramas in China, polling site Vlinkage is back with the Top 30 list of most popular Korean male and female stars, respectively.

Two people in a romantic, dramatic scenario.

I wonder what the soul swapping mythology of upcoming SBS drama Please Come Back Ahjusshi will be? Does the two dead ahjusshi characters in Kim Soo Ro and Kim In Kwon take over the hottie bodies of Rain and Oh Yeon Seo‘s characters, or are those gorgeous physical shells specifically created for them to finish unfinished life business in grand … Continue reading →

Please Come Back Ahjusshi Releases Hilarious Teaser While K-news Reports Cast Bickering Over Credit Order

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 2, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 3, 2016
Romantic scenes from a Korean drama.

I was all set to root for the various drama setups in upcoming SBS drama Please Come Back Ahjusshi that are outside the norm of typical K-drama tropes. There was going to be co-leads Rain and Oh Yeon Seo, each acting as their own characters and when the souls of veterans Kim In Kwon and Kim Soo Ro are inhabiting … Continue reading →

On paper this drama looks like a stellar arrangement from the leads to the supporting cast, made all the more pressing since there are quite a bit of unknowns on the line. Male lead Rain is making his first television return since the anemic My Lovely Girl, and here’s hoping Please Come Back Ahjusshi finds him returning to suitable form … Continue reading →

I’m way more interested in upcoming SBS drama Please Come Back Ahjusshi (Please Come Back, Mister) now that the actual character backgrounds have been revealed. It’s starting to sound even more like a 49 Days redux, with dual leads and love lines that may not make all audiences happy but certainly adds color to the proceedings. It’s been made clear now … Continue reading →

I don’t recall ever seeing Rain looking as scrumptious as he’s been looking recently. His outfits at his Seoul concert last week was questionable, other than went he went shirtless to get drenched, but from the hair to the bod he’s in tip top shape.
