A Koala's Playground Posted on February 16, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 15, 2019

I find the drama title rather random but the casting sounds promising enough. Park Hae Jin and Jo Boa will be pairing up for upcoming rom-com drama Secret set in the world of a 119 emergency hotline special rescue team. It will be Park Hae Jin’s first rom-com drama since his debut if you count Famous Chil Princesses as a … Continue reading →

When I heard of this remake it was the rare instances where I think it’s a good idea. Korean has bought the rights to hit 2007 Taiwanese time-travel high school romance movie Secret starring Jay Chou and Gwei Lun Mei. The remake will hit the theaters in 2018 with the setting changed from high school to college. The movie not … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 3, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2015
Four dramatic portraits of characters in suspense.

The line-up for KBS 2016 dramas is pretty jam packed already, with high profile dramas Descendants of the Sun and Arbitrarily Fondly leading the media coverage. That doesn’t mean the network isn’t continuing to ready additional dramas that has the hallmarks of being a potential hit, and one way is to go back to work with screenwriters and PDs who … Continue reading →

KBS 2013 Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 30, 2014

It’s time for the KBS 2013 Drama Awards and this one was once again a mixed bag. I was expecting the Daesang to go to Lee Bo Young since she headlined the biggest ratings drama of the year with My Daughter Seo Young for KBS but its airing dates may have worked against it since it started in September of … Continue reading →

Angsty Revenge Melodrama Returns with the Premiere of Secret with Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 24, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 24, 2013

I just know I’m probably going to loathe all the main characters in the upcoming KBS melodrama Secret (English title Secret Love) starring Ji Sung as an emotionally dysfunctional second generation chaebol, Hwang Jung Eum as the girl who he thinks killed his girlfriend, Bae Soo Bin as a prosecutor and douchebag boyfriend to Hwang Jung Eum, and Lee Da … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 4, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 14, 2014

As The Blade and Petal wraps up this week, next week KBS presents what feels like an old-fashioned four corner melodrama into the mix. I like the cast so I’m going to check it out Secret, but the sensation that this drama is playing catch up from the get go leaves me worried about its quality.

Upcoming Wed-Thurs Drama New Stills: Joo Ji Hoon in Medical Top Team and Ji Sung for Secret

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 2, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 1, 2013

Joo Ji Hoon cannot catch a break when it comes to drama hair-dos. I can’t even wrap my mind around his hair for the role of the antagonist doctor in Medical Top Team. It’s slicked back, which usually denotes an ambitious suit-and-tie corporate raider type character. The slicked back I can handle, what’s destroying my eyes is how flat it … Continue reading →

Oh my god, give me a moment here. I need to not go with my gut reaction upon seeing the very first official still from the upcoming revenge melodrama Secret, which shows male lead Ji Sung choking female lead Hwang Jung Eum around the neck and then a fist right next to where her head is. My gut reaction would … Continue reading →

Secret Holds Script Reading with Ji Sung, Hwang Jung Eum, Bae Soo Bin, and Lee Da Hee

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 13, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 12, 2013

I guess it’s a good thing the upcoming KBS drama Secret is a modern story otherwise I can’t imagine how the production would fare if it was a sageuk and there is four weeks remaining before it’s scheduled to premiere after the end of The Blade and Petal. I never procrastinate and it’s actually a pet peeve of mine to … Continue reading →
