Two people in a car, rain outside.

I feel like every few years I see a post as angry and filled with lots of participation because it just takes everyone down memory (headdesk) lane. The ending this weekend of Penthouse with the everyone dies AND two of the dead people get married in the afterlife really triggered folks and I don’t blame them.

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 3, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 2, 2019
Behind-the-scenes of a film production.

This is legit the lamest yet sweetly funniest shit I’ve seen in awhile. I can’t deny that a younger and more fervently drama addicted Koala wouldn’t have participated in a like minded activity for a drama I love.

Sorry I haven’t been covering jTBC Fri-Sat drama Sky Castle, it’s purely due to not watching (yet) though I’m fascinated by the meteoric ratings rise and viewer chatter about the drama developments.
