A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2016 by ockoalaApril 20, 2016
K-drama posters featuring romantic scenes.

With the conclusion of Descendants of the Sun it’s a perfect time to check in with the popularity of K-dramas in China and see where this newest ratings breaker resides. Polling website Vlinkage just released the Top 30 Most Popular K-dramas in China list as of April 2016 and it’s rare for me to feel like this is one accurately … Continue reading →

2012 Year End Drama Reviews: Something Fun for Everyone

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 19, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2012

Another year, another year end review. For me the year end review contextualizes the dramas watched on three levels – its own merits, how it stacks up against its compatriots, and how the year measures up against previous years. If I wanted to add an additional intangible factor, then it would be how happy or frustrating it was for me … Continue reading →

Retrospective on the OTP Cuteness from Rooftop Prince

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 18, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 18, 2012

Both Han Ji Min and Yoochun had two dramas apiece this year, and both of them picked well in terms of doing something diverse and different. Han Ji Min started off the year with Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat with Jung Woo Sung and afterwards rolled right into Rooftop Prince with Yoochun. He took a break … Continue reading →

A Countdown and Poll of the Best and Worst K-drama OTPs of 2012

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2012

I was wondering if I should do this post next month but I know I’ll get too busy with year end work crunch plus the holiday prep not to mention this year I’m traveling again back to Asia the last two weeks of December. It’s better to start now and I’m sure this will be fun for everyone. I always … Continue reading →

Recess: One Shot Drop Dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 15, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 16, 2012

You know, I’m going to have trouble convincing people that I really like Lee Min Ho, given that it’s pretty much three-for-three in me striking out with his dramas. I finally watched Faith yesterday, both episodes at once, and the verdict is a solid “dislike”. It would veer into hate but for the fact that I like Min Ho’s character, … Continue reading →

Second Impressions and Quickcap of Rooftop Prince Episode 2

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 22, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 22, 2012

Ah, what a shift in focus and a realignment of expectation can do for drama watching enjoyment. While some dramas just objectively suck or rock, a few straddle that nebulous region where pleasure can be derived as long as what the viewer wants coincides with what the drama delivers. I still stand by my first impression that episode 1 of … Continue reading →

First Impressions and Quickcap of Rooftop Prince Episode 1

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 21, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 21, 2012

You all know how excited I was for Rooftop Prince, so it’s with a heavy heart that I have to share my first impression that episode 1 was derivative and lackluster. The characterizations were painted in painfully broad and extreme strokes, the narrative was choppy, and the acting was overall pretty flat. The story actually reminds me of a mash … Continue reading →

Rooftop Prince Releases Character Descriptions in English and Third Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 13, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 13, 2012

Come to me, my pretties. Don’t worry, I won’t bite. I’ll just paw you to my heart’s delight. Grah, having to wait an entire week for the premiere of Rooftop Prince just chafes. Especially since it’s all due to MoonSun, as if I’m not already annoyed to the nines with that silly dully excuse of a sageuk. RP, on the … Continue reading →

Rooftop Prince Releases Perfect Long Trailer and Holds Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 5, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 5, 2012

Ahhhhh, Rooftop Prince, you are so diabolical! How can you release this fantastical and tempting long trailer and then tell me I have to wait 10! more days to sample your delicious goodness? The cast held a press conference yesterday where the main leads showed up looking dashing and fashionable, with the ladies continuing the now extended trend of going … Continue reading →

Rooftop Prince Drops Fabulously Entertaining Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 1, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 1, 2012

I regret having doubts about Yoochun and Han Ji Min together, or even making fun of the concept of Rooftop Prince. This drama may still suck, but I am now totally obsessed with watching it. It looks promising in a fish-out-of-water way and with tons of wiggle room for real emotional development. It’s like a reverse Bu Bu Jing Xin, … Continue reading →

Rooftop Prince Releases Cute New Stills and First Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 25, 2012 by ockoalaFebruary 25, 2012

Rooftop Prince might be the surprise of 2012 for me thus far, what with the inexplicablye ascent from meh drama prospect to salivating over every little tidbit of juicy goodies. I love how the drama seems both slightly serious but more just charmingly goofy. Yoochun and Han Ji Min continue to be so cute they give me cavities, while the … Continue reading →

Rooftop Prince and The King 2 Hearts Unveils Latest Drama Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 22, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 21, 2012

Man, being mopey sucks. Even cool things only elicit an “eh” from me, and maybe a taut eyebrow raise before I go back to pitifully pouting in the corner. Two of the bigger-named upcoming K-dramas continues to slowly release teaser bits and pieces. The King 2 Hearts starring Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi dropped the first still of the … Continue reading →

First Peek at Upcoming K-dramas Rooftop Prince and Fashion King

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 3, 2012 by ockoalaFebruary 3, 2012

The upcoming K-drama season is going to be littered with Kings and Princes, as if the current runaway hit The Moon that Embraces the Sun didn’t already have enough of an angsty King plus and angsty Prince. I remember K-dramas always trending the same topics, whether it was a slew of sports, medical, or music dramas in short order. While … Continue reading →
