A Koala Reminisces: 2011 Year End Drama Reviews

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 17, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2011

Going into this year end review, I wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic as I was last year. I can’t pinpoint why, other than perhaps I simply wrote so much I wore myself out. All my drama writing in the 365 days since the 2010 year end review did make my fingers consider going on strike. My brain wasn’t that far behind … Continue reading →

Finally! MBC’s currently airing Mon-Tues drama The Duo is heading into the adult story proper next week. After eight episodes of solid sageuk fare, with plenty of angsty, secrets, and stakes, the drama finally introduces the adult leads next week. I’ll miss the kids, who were by and large good actors, and had nice chemistry with each other. For anyone … Continue reading →

On the heels of its upcoming Monday premiere, MBC released a full three and a half minute trailer for its upcoming sageuk The Duo. We don’t see any of the adult leads Chun Jung Myung, Han Ji Hye, or Lee Sang Yoon, except via snap shots of their characters. This drama looks like it will have a pretty substantial childhood/teenage portion (rather than told … Continue reading →

MBC’s upcoming sageuk drama The Duo held its shooting session for its poster yesterday, and the three leads Chun Jung Myung, Han Ji Hye, and Lee Sang Yoon were all dressed in their sageuk costumes for the first time. I totally want PIE’s hair to be in a mane of glory instead of tied up in a bun. But he … Continue reading →

The Duo, SBS’s upcoming fusion sageuk, has commenced filming already. Production is currently filming the children portion of the story, which includes teen actors playing the teenage version of the lead characters. The Duo is hands down my most anticipated drama of early 2011, since I have been dreaming of lead actor Chun Jung Myung doing a sageuk since he … Continue reading →

I spent the better part of 2010 chanting “please let PIE‘s next project be a sageuk drama” over and over again. Apparently that works, guys! I suggest you start chanting your most fervent wishes, because mine just got granted. Chun Jung Myung aka PIE, is doing his first ever sageuk in early 2011, the switched-at-birth in the Joseon-era drama The Duo. Today … Continue reading →
