K-netizens Target Shin Hye Sun Leading to Mask and Fried Chicken CFs Dropping Her After Being Swept Up Tangentially in the Joseon Exorcist Controversy

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

This is why K-ent has such a high rate of suicide people, what we’re seeing happen in real time with the angry furor over fictional entertainment products is a big part of why the industry so problematic with the pressure to always be on the side of what the public deems is right. The Joseon Exorcist controversy, itself a whole … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Well well well, the ending is here for Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) and I’m not sure if I should talk about the ending or just let it rip in the comment section. I don’t want to “spoil” any plot point but this ending is really quite special, as in I think it would take a really special viewer to find … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Being active on the internet sometimes makes one believe that information being shared and discussed online would have real life impact. But it’s just a vocal minority sounding louder than actually is and real life has its own reactive beats. tvN Sat-Sun drama Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) was quite the topic of conversation since it’s premiere a week ago, from … Continue reading →

Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun are Opposites Attract(?) in New Posters for tvN Drama Queen Cheorin

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I liked the premise of C-drama Go Princess Go better than the execution, because goodness was it so low rent it was basically rent-a-costume with whatever haphazard acting could be summoned up for the plot. But the “what if” was so fun to ponder – a modern day playboy male transported in soul back to the past into the body … Continue reading →

tvN Sageuk Queen Cheorin Releases New Poster and Stills of Leads Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m so excited for tvN sageuk Queen Cheorin that I’m not even annoyed it can’t settle on an English drama title. I think using the Korean title would be best but first it went with No Touch Princess and now it’s going to be Mr. Queen. That’s a little to cheeky and I won’t want to run afoul of the … Continue reading →

Shin Hye Sun Hits Every Comedic Beat in First Teasers and Lead Character Posters for tvN Sageuk Queen Cheorin

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I first noticed K-actress Shin Hye Sun‘s underrated comedic ability in Legend of the Blue Sea, she turned a stock clingly second female lead into a layered and endearing role. She’s great playing the straight woman in lead roles but I love when she acts out in immature ways that we can all relate to lol. She’s going to have … Continue reading →

Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun Lead Script Reading for tvN Sageuk Queen Cheorin

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

tvN hasn’t had a true saguek in the Sat-Sun time slot and the last sageuks it aired in a different time slot were The Crowned Clown and 100 Days My Prince. It’s time to bring the gravitas and the upcoming Queen Cheorin seems like the comedy soul-swap element will merely be an appetizer comedy before it gets into the heady … Continue reading →

Shin Hye Sun, Kim Jung Hyun, Bae Jong Ok, and Kim Tae Woo Confirmed for Comedy Sageuk Drama Queen Cheorin

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’ve long thought the ridiculously low budget and slap stick period Chinese drama Go Princess Go was perfect for a K-drama version and could be done so much better. I don’t think the upcoming sageuk drama Queen Cheorin is announced and an official adaptation of GPG but it’s totally the same plot. Shin Hye Sun is confirmed to play the … Continue reading →

Shin Hye Sun in Talks for Sageuk K-drama Queen Cheorin Which Sounds Like a Remake of C-drama Go Princess Go

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I feel like I saw this story already and also wondering why it took so long for a K-drama version. K-actress Shin Hye Sun is in talks for a tvN fusion sageuk drama Queen Cheorin scheduled for November 2020 so plenty of ways away. It tells the story of a modern day man named Bong Hwan who time travels back … Continue reading →

Shin Hye Sun is a Cold Ballerina in First Stills for KBS Fantasy Romance Dan, Only Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The first thought I had when I saw the drama stills for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Dan, Only Love is that it was just good enough but not wholly believable. Ballet is an entire body dance form not just going en pointe but from the shoulders to the arm lines to the fingertips, a ballerina lives ballet in her every … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

A sweet and optimistic K-drama sounds like a nice escapist getaway for viewers currently bombarded with terrible real life news in South Korea. Leading lady Shin Hye Sun is following up a heartwarming drama in Thirty But Seventeen with another equally heartwarming sounding one Dan, Only Love. She plays a cold ballerina who doesn’t believe in love who is the … Continue reading →
