Young man in a black shirt, serious expression.

I knew it wasn’t just me that so many articles I write in the last year or so keep including the same stars frequently. A recent K-ent post (article click here) discusses what is going on right now – there are so many K-dramas in production due to the new popularity on Netflix, more streaming sites getting into producing their … Continue reading →

Song Kang and IU Tops K-netizens Poll of Male and Female Star Most Suitable for Spring, Followed by Jimin of BTS and Han So Hee

Two individuals attending a press event.

Much has been discussed about how K-actor Song Kang has become the It Boy the last two years and especially on Netflix where all his recent dramas have streamed. Agencies and production companies can push him for sure but it sure seems K-netizens are really warming/warmed to him. This week there was a new poll of K-netizens on the topic … Continue reading →

Success of Forecasting Love and Weather Leads K-ent to Notice that Song Kang’s Last Drama Nevetherless Did Very Well in Japan Opposite the Lackluster Domestic Reception

After jTBC drama Nevertheless finished airing I forgot about it and it felt that the domestic audience did as well. The drama averaged about 1.4% ratings and was considered a disappointment for the network despite having buzzy IT leads Song Kang and Han So Hee. I did remember was it in the Netflix top 10 in various Asian countries at … Continue reading →

Song Kang and Park Min Young Actually Look Good Together For the First Time in Netflix Pictorial Promoting jTBC Romance Forecasting Love and Weather

The bar was set so low for the pairing of younger actor Song Kang and noona actress Park Min Young that the positive premiere ratings for jTBC drama Forecasting Love and Weather must’ve been a relief for the network and their fans. It is also good news for Netflix which has the streaming rights and the platform released a set … Continue reading →

The Premiere Weekend Promising Ratings for Twenty Five, Twenty One and Forecasting Love and Weather Portends Well for Nam Joo Hyuk and Song Kang in Delivering a Win

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 14, 2022 by ockoalaFebruary 15, 2022
Two young men in different scenes.

It’s a sigh of relief after the weekend premieres of two new cable dramas, and probably the biggest winners from opening weekend’s good ratings and good reviews (critics and K-netizens) are the young male leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Song Kang. They even give off similar auras as tall, boy-next-door type male actors and I can see them being up … Continue reading →

Romance Between Park Min Young and Song Kang in Forecasting Love and Weather Moves at the Speed of Sound as They Steam Up the Screen in Episode 2

Two young adults exchanging emotional moments.

Well this is unexpected! I’m still waiting to binge both episodes of jTBC drama Forecasting Love and Weather, since it’s Superbowl Sunday and all and priorities, m’kay. That’s why I don’t know what led up to what may be the fastest workplace romance development in the history of K-drama rom-coms but it was hard not to be spoiled by viewers … Continue reading →

New Sat-Sun K-dramas Off to Promising Starts as tvN Series Twenty Five, Twenty One Gets 6.370% and Forecasting Love and Weather Brings in 4.514% on jTBC

Four actors posing, making heart gestures.

It’s important to preface that the two new Sat-Sun K-dramas are NOT directly competing with each other for eyeballs. For tvN drama Twenty Five, Twenty One, it airs at 9:10 pm, and over at jTBC the drama Forecasting Love and Weather comes on at 10:30 pm. That makes for what I love most, each drama really competing with itself, does … Continue reading →

K-netizens Disagree with Reporter Article on Nam Joo Hyuk Needing to Redeem Himself with Next Drama After Start-up But Agree that Song Kang Still Needs to Prove Himself

Two men posing with heart shape and greeting.

This coming weekend two new K-dramas are premiering, with Twenty Five, Twenty One on tvN and over at jTBC it’s Forecasting Love and Weather. The two dramas will not be going head-to-head, Twenty Five airs at 9:10 pm and Forecasting takes over the 10:30 pm time slot, but a K-ent reporter is noting that the two dramas have younger leading … Continue reading →

The great Song Kang experiment of the last year and a half continues with his upcoming male lead role in jTBC weather station romance Forecasting Love and Weather (Office Romance Cruelty). While viewers may feel female lead Park Min Young has been playing the same role for many dramas in a row now, the capable office worker, Song Kang feels … Continue reading →

Song Kang Looks Distractingly Like a College Intern Character in New Stills from jTBC Romance Forecasting Love and Weather

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 24, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 24, 2022
Four romantic scenes from a Korean drama.

Once the leads are cast in dramas its out of my hands and I just pray it all works out. For age difference gapped leads I also hope the drama explains why their characters fall for each other (personality and situation) and also style them to look visually compatible. With upcoming jTBC drama Forecasting Love and Weather (Office Romance Cruelty), … Continue reading →

Song Kang is Intrigued by Capable Sunbae Park Min Young in New Preview for jTBC Romance Forecasting Love and Weather

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2022
Two people smiling at each other at night.

This drama gives off exactly the same vibes as last year’s jTBC Romance Sunbae Please Don’t Put on That Lipstick (She Will Never Know) just with a different workplace setting and different OTP leads. Change out the cosmetics office space for the weather forecasting meteorological bureau in upcoming Forecasting Love and Weather (Office Romance Cruelty) and it’s the same chemistry … Continue reading →

New Substantive Previews for jTBC Drama Weather People Shows Subdued Park Min Young and Spirited Song Kang Connecting with Each Other

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2022
Group of people working in a high-tech office.

So this is a much better preview for upcoming jTBC drama Weather People, I’ve also seen it called Forecasting Love and Weather which I like a whole lot better. The first previews were boring and weirdly anemic in showcasing any chemistry between leads Park Min Young and Song Kang. The age gap showed less that she looks old(er) but more … Continue reading →

Park Min Young and Song Kang Showcase Sweet Romantic Gestures in First Teaser Previews for jTBC Drama Weather People

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 6, 2022 by ockoalaJanuary 5, 2022
Four romantic scenes from a Korean drama.

First off, I hate this new English title for the jTBC drama Office Romance Cruelty. I didn’t like the Korean title either but Weather People is way worse, I’m half expecting the characters to have weather related superpowers or turn into a weather horror drama ala Cat People and Lizard People. But Weather People it is but despite the whole … Continue reading →
