Both Couples in Upcoming jTBC Drama Run On Sparking with Restrained Chemistry in New Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 8, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 7, 2020
Couples' interactions in various night settings.

I feel like upcoming jTBC drama Run On is the palate cleanser after the unnecessary shipping wars in recently finished tvN drama Start-Up. This one not only doesn’t even have the suggestion of a love triangle, the drama is actively promoting the two sets of OTP and I love it! The first couple is Im Shi Wan and Shin Se … Continue reading →

Im Shi Wan and Shin Se Kyung Generate Sparks in Cute Poster and Teaser for jTBC Drama Run On

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 2, 2020

This drama looks so bright and cheerful it’s almost the wrong season to release it right into the Christmas holidays and winter. Call it counter programming I guess, but the warm spring vibe and adorableness of the leads Im Shi Wan and Shin Se Kyung are really brightening my spirit every time I see a new promo for jTBC drama … Continue reading →

jTBC Drama Run On Releaes New Posters and Stills of Two Sets of Equally Charming OTP

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 28, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 28, 2020
Two characters promoting the show "Run On."

The last K-drama I’m anticipating for 2020 is the jTBC romance Run On, arriving on December 16th just in time to add to my roster for my usual holiday binge. The first posters featured the first OTP set with Shin Se Kyung and Im Shi Wan against a beautiful blue sky backdrop, very outdoorsy and fitting since he’s a runner. … Continue reading →

First Teaser for jTBC Drama Run On with Im Shi Wan and Shin Se Kyung

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 5, 2020 by ockoalaNovember 5, 2020
Couple sitting under a tree, sharing moments.

The first teaser preview is out for jTBC drama Run On and I love the warm outdoorsy vibe. Lead Im Shi Wan is a runner and seeing him outside jogging with such energy and positivity was so nice, and then juxtaposed with Shin Se Kyung as a movie subtitle translator with a quiet job. They look really cute together and … Continue reading →

First Posters of Run On Flash the Brilliant Blue Sky of Optimism with Leads Im Shi Wan and Shin Se Kyung

These drama posters are boring but very very pretty, which accounts for something. Upcoming jTBC drama Run On has an airing date finally of December, after already having two separate 2-week filming shutdowns due to COVID-19 positive testing in the production team. It’s been filming since early summer so I think it could have enough footage in the tank by … Continue reading →

jTBC Releases Script Reading Stills of Run On With Im Shi Wan, Shin Se Kyung, Sooyoung, and Kang Tae Oh

Oh gosh this drama has so much potential, I do hope the twice now filming shut downs due to COVID-19 didn’t impact the production chemistry. jTBC has released script reading stills from earlier in the summer showing the cast of upcoming K-drama Run On sitting down for the table read. Starring Im Shi Wan, Shin Se Kyung, Kang Tae Oh, … Continue reading →

Production on jTBC Drama Run On Halted Again Due to COVID Positive Crew Member, Leads Im Shi Wan, Shin Se Kyung, Sooyoung, and Kang Tae Oh Go Back to Two Week Quarantine

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 28, 2020 by ockoalaSeptember 28, 2020
Four stylish portraits of young adults.

Well this certainly will delay yet again the premiere of a drama I’ve been highly anticipating. Again, not complaining, safety above all, but it’s got to be hard for the entire cast and crew to go back to two week quarantine yet again. A month after production was first halted on jTBC winter 2020 drama Run On, along with other … Continue reading →

jTBC Drama Run On Filming with Two Sets of Drama Couples Im Shi Wan with Shin Se Kyung and Kang Tae Oh Paired with Sooyoung

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 19, 2020 by ockoalaAugust 19, 2020
Four portraits of young adults in various poses.

Cable network jTBC hit a grand slam home run this year with The World of the Marriage but the magic didn’t continue with successor drama Graceful Friends. The weekend time slot feels like the new Wed-Thurs prime time days, where the competition is at, and I won’t be surprised if the network schedules currently filming K-drama Run On for that … Continue reading →

Kim Yoo Jung the First Pick of Netizens for Female Lead of Sageuk Drama Hong Chun Gi with Ahn Hyo Seob by the Writer of The Moon Embraces the Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2020 by ockoalaJune 30, 2020
Young woman smiling in a blue vest.

I always felt that Han Ga In was not right for the female lead role in hit sageuk The Moon Embraces the Sun, the age gap with Kim Soo Hyun, her acting limitations (he was acting circles around her), and that the age of the character really suited a early 20s actress. There’s a chance to cast right for Hong … Continue reading →

Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung Debuts with Low Ratings as K-netizens Eviscerate Cha Eun Woo’s Limited Acting

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 17, 2019 by ockoalaJuly 17, 2019
Surprised expressions of a historical character.

Oh bummer, I was hoping new Wed-Thurs sageuk Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung would get positive reviews, and definitely improved opinions on the acting ability of relative rookie actor Cha Eun Woo making his second drama lead appearance. I don’t know him to like or dislike him since I skipped his first drama but I have a feeling he’s being … Continue reading →

Shin Se Kyung Fresh in New Multi-colored Summer Pictorial

I feel like I’m running out of the current crop of actors and actresses to write about, what with scandals and even simply falling off the popularity wagon. It’s that attrition which makes K-actress Shin Se Kyung‘s leading lady perch for the last decade impressive in light of her not having a single definitive drama or performance in her resume. … Continue reading →

Gorgeous Color Saturated Posters for MBC Drama Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2019 by ockoalaJune 29, 2019
Two characters in traditional Korean attire.

Let’s end the downer news week on a high note, shall we? MBC romance sageuk drama Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung released drama and character posters that tickle my fancy bone with a shot of creative pretty. I’m so enamored of the colors in this drama, pastels that aren’t washed out and plenty of artistic touches and details in the … Continue reading →

I think it’s pretty incredible that K-stars Cha Eun Woo and Shin Se Kyung are so pretty that they look good in any type of visuals. Some stars have modern features and don’t suit sageuks well and others seem to fit into period dramas seamlessly and are less impressive in modern roles. These two look perfect in their roles for … Continue reading →
