A Koala's Playground Posted on May 7, 2024 by ockoalaMay 7, 2024
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!

Characters reacting to a quirky food situation.

So I would never be interested in this K-drama but for the cast and director involved, I love every one of them SO MUCH. The upcoming Netflix drama Chicken Nugget with Ryu Seung Ryong and Ahn Jae Hong premiering on March 15th released the first poster and teaser and I was just basically teleported back to one of my favorite … Continue reading →

Disney+ Capitalizing on Hit K-drama Moving with Continuous Release of New Stills and Promo Materials

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2023 by ockoalaAugust 29, 2023
Two people connected in a surreal setting.

I can’t get over the irony of Disney+ finally having a massive hit with Moving in everything (casting, directing, writing) when there feels like a downtown in K-drama trends overall. This week there are new really charismatic and strong visual stills of the three older parent gen leads Jo In Sung, Ryu Seung Ryong, and Han Hyo Joo. I’m finally … Continue reading →

Buzzy Superpower Family Story Moving Becomes Highest Watched K-drama on Disney+

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 25, 2023 by ockoalaAugust 25, 2023
Group photo at a fan event celebration.

It’s clear now that Moving is the biggest K-drama for Disney+ and getting confirmation that it has the highest viewership of any K-drama on the platform is just perfunctory. If this drama aired on Netflix it would be HUGE based on how much people are talking about it, from the story to the acting to the execution and both the … Continue reading →

First Look at Sci-fi Disney+ K-drama Moving with Jo In Sung, Han Hyo Joo, and Ryu Seung Ryong

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 27, 2023 by ockoalaJanuary 26, 2023
Man crouching in a dark, outdoor setting.

I still think Disney+ despite getting some promising K-dramas in the last two years has a LONG way to go to catch up to Netflix in terms of international access to K-dramas on streaming. Even Viki is bigger. That’s why I get nervous when a high profile K-drama is produced and will stream solely on Disney+, it feels like it’s … Continue reading →

Historical drama scene with intense emotions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has lead to lots more Netflix and chilling but I’ve actually been busier than ever remote working because now I don’t even have the separation between work and home ha. I’ve only watched one episode of the cracktastic Tiger King and didn’t even remember to watch zombie K-drama Kingdom 2 until I saw an interview with Samuel … Continue reading →

"Various character posters for a Netflix series."

Netflix premiered the 6-episode K-drama Kingdom this past weekend and I devoured it much like the zombie hordes in the story. It was riveting and fast-paced, and the short 6-episodes flew by ending with a helluva cliffhanger. Thankfully the second season has been green lit with screenwriter Kim Eun Hee also of Signal fame having finished her scripts already in … Continue reading →

"Various character posters for a Netflix series."

I thought I would be all zombie-d out by now with a surfeit of zombie shows from Hollywood to Asia but it appears I have the appetite for one more, namely the upcoming Netflix 8-episode drama Kingdom. Adapted from a manhwa by the screenwriter Kim Eun Hee of Signal, 3 Days, and Sign, the story revolves around Joo Ji Hoon‘s … Continue reading →
