Popular Dramas and High Profile Stars Like Lee Byung Hun and Son Ye Jin Lead 2018 APAN Star Award Nominations

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 27, 2018 by ockoalaSeptember 27, 2018
Two elegantly dressed people at an event.

Following behind the nominations for the Korean Drama Awards come the nominations for the 2018 APAN Star Awards which is on its 6th year now. It’s skewed towards the popular more than elite selection metrics but as always an interesting take on what dramas and actors/actresses are getting recognition in a drama year. The notable names up for the Daesang … Continue reading →

Temperature of Love Screenwriter Teases that Drama Ending Could be Different than Book in Who Female Leads Ends Up With

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 5, 2017 by ockoalaNovember 5, 2017
Various characters expressing emotions in different scenes.

I’m ready to put K-drama screenwriter Ha Myung Hee on my shit list now, I’ve concurred with a lot of the criticism lobbed at her for her previous dramas Doctors, High Society and even her earliest works One Warm Word and Can We Get Married. But being flawed doesn’t mean she’s completely sucky but now her attitude makes me think of … Continue reading →

Jang Geun Seok Provides Coffee Truck to Temperature of Love and More Park Shin Hye Cameo Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2017
Two professionals in a modern office setting.

I continue to follow along to the increasingly morose romantic travails of SBS Mon-Tues drama Temperature of Love. I get why certain viewers loved it from the start and continued to champion the drama even as my initially like turned to dislike fast. But now I really can’t see how viewers are still sticking with the story short of being … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye Plays Top Hallyu Star Opposite Kim Jae Woon in Temperature of Love Cameo

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 24, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 25, 2017
Two professionals in a modern office setting.

Whether or not Park Shin Hye‘s cameo in SBS drama Temperature of Love moves the dropped ratings back up again is beside the point for me, I’m just relieved to have a positive and non-frustrating reason to keep watching the drama. At this point it’s not quite hate-watch yet, that would require more emotional attachment and even the characters I … Continue reading →

KBS Drama Witch’s Court Hits 12.3% Ratings as Temperature of Love is Preempted Due to Baseball

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 17, 2017
Two characters in a tense conversation.

When lady luck adds an extra boost it’s best to run with it, so it’ll be interesting to see if KBS Mon-Tues drama Witch’s Court continues with the unexpected momentum boost from this Tues. The legal drama broke double digits with 12.3% ratings for Tuesday’s episode 4, thanks in no part due to the unexpected cancellation of Temperature of Love‘s … Continue reading →

Witch’s Court Wins Mon-Tues Slot as Temperature of Love Drops Further in Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 16, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 16, 2017
Two characters in a dramatic scene.

It’s hard to pinpoint the stronger reason for why there has been a Mon-Tues ratings reversal this week but it’s easy to acknowledge that the viewers have spoken. Time slot ratings leader SBS romance drama Temperature of Love ceded the lead to newcomer KBS legal drama Witch’s Court in the second week of the latter’s premiere. Witch’s Court won Monday … Continue reading →

Second Episode of Witch’s Court Catches Up to Ratings Leader SBS Drama Temperature of Love

Two Korean drama posters featuring different couples.

There’s been interesting movement in the Mon-Tues time slot competition and in a way I didn’t expect. The second episode airing of KBS legal drama Witch’s Court garnered 9.5% AGB nationwide ratings, putting it basically neck-to-neck with ratings lead Temperature of Love on SBS which got 8.8% and 10.3% respectively for episodes 15 and 16. MBC preempted new arrival 20th … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye to Make Cameo in SBS Mon-Tues Drama Temperature of Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 10, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 10, 2017

The somnambulant progress of SBS Mon-Tues drama Temperature of Love is about to get a much needed but likely too brief sizzle shot. Actress Park Shin Hye will be making a cameo appearance in the drama as a favor to screenwriter Ha Myung Hee after they worked on the highly rated Doctors together last year. Park Shin Hye will be rearranging … Continue reading →

Temperature of Love Lead Mon-Tues Ratings Over New Arrivals Witches Court and 20th Century Boy and Girl

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 10, 2017 by ockoalaOctober 9, 2017
Korean drama posters featuring young adults and themes.

Two new Mon-Tues dramas are here and neither appear to make a strong splash and definitely nowhere near contending with time slot leader Temperature of Love. Witches Court on KBS nearly doubled the ratings at 6.6% over MBC‘s 20th Century Boy and Girl which aired two hours of new episodes to make up for the preemption last week. 20th Century … Continue reading →

Temperature of Love Remains Lukewarm in Second Week Ratings Even in Weak Competition

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 25, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 25, 2017
Two people happily talking on the phone.

The best way to describe Mon-Tues SBS romance drama Temperature of Love is room temperature, that horrible in between state of being not cold enough to be a refreshing gulp or hot enough to be a sizzling sip. Week 2 started off with episodes 5 and 6 taking in 8.2% and 10.4% ratings, this is pretty uninspiring considering that rival … Continue reading →

Viewers Not Feeling the Many Noona-Dongsaeng Romances on Current K-dramas Hospital Ship and Temperature of Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 22, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 22, 2017
Romantic moments between two characters.

Being bummed with something I wanted so badly to love really sucks, and even worse is not even dropping from love to like to salvage things a bit. This week K-netizens are really not feeling it for the saturation of noona-dongsaeng romances on prime time dramas. There’s Seo Hyun Jin and Yang Se Jong on Mon-Tues with Temperature of Love … Continue reading →

Temperature of Love Premieres to Mon-Tues Ratings Win Despite Not Breaking 10% Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 18, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 18, 2017
Two people standing in the rain, conversing.

A win is a win so I’m sure SBS is happy that it’s latest Mon-Tues offering continues the network dominance in that time slot. With that said, Temperature of Love premiered with 7.1% and 8.0% AGB nationwide ratings in the first two episodes, enough to lead the competition but it’s a sad state of affairs when none of the prime … Continue reading →

Press Conference for SBS Drama Temperature of Love is all Hearts and Smiles

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 16, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 16, 2017
Four people making heart shapes with hands.

I’m ready to test the temperature this Monday for new SBS Mon-Tues drama Temperature of Love, changing the mood on the network from serious dark subject matter to seemingly light airy romance. Starring Seo Hyun Jin, Yang Se Jong, Kim Jae Wook, and Jo Boa, the leads attended last week’s press conference in a fantastic show of camaraderie, chemistry, and … Continue reading →
