Hwang Jung Eum Gets a Lucky Romance Love Triangle with Ryu Jun Yeol and Lee Soo Hyuk

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 22, 2016 by ockoalaMay 22, 2016
Three portraits of a smiling woman.

This coming week is the premiere of Lucky Romance now that Goodbye Mr. Black has bid farewell at last to its revenge schemes. GMB was the ratings leader during the Wed-Thurs time slot after Descendants of the Sun ended, but never passed 10% ratings as far as I recall, so it’s not clear if Lucky Romance can strike it lucky … Continue reading →

Hwang Jung Eum is a Spazz Opposite Stoic Ryu Jun Yeol in Second Teaser for Lucky Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 11, 2016 by ockoalaMay 11, 2016
Couple in park during a snow flurry.

Gosh, I wish either Hwang Jung Eum wasn’t playing the leading lady role in Lucky Romance, or the genders were swapped in the drama story so the female lead was the cold stoic one.

Hwang Jung Eum and Ryu Jun Yeol Cross Paths in a Night Club for Lucky Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2016 by ockoalaMay 10, 2016
Group of people in various dramatic scenarios.

There’s been a niggling visual sense of deja vu with upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Lucky Romance. It brings back many reminders of MBC’s unexpected buzzy rom-com last year She Was Pretty, and it’s not just due to both dramas airing on the same network and having the same leading lady in Hwang Jung Eum. She’s sporting the same very short … Continue reading →

Couple in intimate pose, minimal background.

Call it just married glow, the perfect pairing of hair and face, or the unexpect thrill of couple synergy, whatever is going on with the leads of Lucky Romance in the pages of Marie Claire Korea will hopefully be duplictad in the drama itself because it’s awesome. The promotion for Lucky Romance isn’t breaking new ground by having leads Hwang … Continue reading →

Three people posing together at an event.

I’m not sure the buzz is as strong anymore around recently finished tvN drama Answer Me 1988, what with the murmurings of dissatisfaction with the ending from some segments of the viewing audience.

Now that Answer Me 1988 has ended, I can finally marathon this baby and not get sucked into the usual shipping wars. I’ve participated in my fair share and honestly it’s exhausting, but hard to avoid when live watching a drama that’s popular and garners heavy audience involvement.

Answer Me 1988 Breakout Star Ryu Jun Yeol Paired with Kim Woo Bin as the Atypical Goodlooking K-actor

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 13, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 3, 2016
Four stylish men at various red carpet events.

The first time I laid eyes on Kim Woo Bin a few years ago, I thought he was one of the oddest looking Korean entertainers to come around. His hulking frame and strong facial features took awhile to get used to, but once I saw his charisma through his acting then it was easy to get used to his unique looks. … Continue reading →
