Sliding Scale of When Lead Onscreen Chemistry Saves or Sinks Preposterously Plotted K-dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 26, 2020 by ockoalaApril 26, 2020
K-drama scenes with romance and royalty themes.

Four episodes into watching K-drama The King: Eternal Monarch and it’s a steady stream of “buh” and “huh” and “snooze…..” The story may be disjointed but there have been way worse written K-dramas that have worked better thanks to the onscreen romantic chemistry of the leads – not talking about acting ability, just whether the two leads make the viewer … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won Both Up for 2013 MBC Drama Award Daesang

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2013 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2013

Just the mere thought that I get to see Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won at the same place, attending the year end MBC Drama Awards, makes me giddy with excitement. It’s been a year and a half since they worked together in The King 2 Hearts, also a MBC drama, and to date in 2013 I still haven’t … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2013

Guh, every time I see Lee Seung Gi with Ha Ji Won my heart gets stuck in my throat and I have this urge to start babbling like an idiot. I still love The King 2 Hearts so so much, far and away my favoritest drama of 2012. I thought I’d seen and found all there was involving this drama … Continue reading →

2012 Year End Drama Reviews: Something Fun for Everyone

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 19, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2012

Another year, another year end review. For me the year end review contextualizes the dramas watched on three levels – its own merits, how it stacks up against its compatriots, and how the year measures up against previous years. If I wanted to add an additional intangible factor, then it would be how happy or frustrating it was for me … Continue reading →

A Countdown and Poll of the Best and Worst K-drama OTPs of 2012

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2012

I was wondering if I should do this post next month but I know I’ll get too busy with year end work crunch plus the holiday prep not to mention this year I’m traveling again back to Asia the last two weeks of December. It’s better to start now and I’m sure this will be fun for everyone. I always … Continue reading →

Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi Back Together for The King 2 Heart Promotions

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 21, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 22, 2012

I knew it was only a matter of time before my exceptional OTP of Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi from The King 2 Hearts reunited to promote the drama, and lo and behold, they did a photoshoot for a Japanese magazine where I immediately flash back to Hang Ah and Jae Ha. I haven’t got around to rewatching … Continue reading →

Official MV of Lee Seung Gi Performing Love is Crying from Budokan Concert

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 17, 2012 by ockoalaJuly 16, 2012

Do you all remember when I posted about Lee Seung Gi performing K-Will‘s “Love is Crying” from The King 2 Hearts OST at his Budokan concert in Japan last month? The ripped version we got to hear is in no way, shape, or form able to capture the sheer raw emotion of the song as recorded properly. Luckily for us, … Continue reading →

The King 2 Hearts MV Set to Lee Seung Gi Singing Love is Crying

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 9, 2012 by ockoalaJune 8, 2012

Oh The King 2 Hearts, I miss you so much! I try to move on, and other dramas will engage my interest, but you’ve managed to worm your way into a corner of my heart forever. I imagine Hang Ah and Jae Ha somewhere being all happy and fearless together. At Lee Seung Gi‘s Budokan concert last week, he sang … Continue reading →

The Cast of The King 2 Hearts Attend End of Drama Celebration

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 26, 2012 by ockoalaMay 25, 2012

Nothing quite says “it’s over” like pictures from the end of drama banquet celebration. The cast and crew of The King 2 Hearts happily gathered to eat and toast a job well done. And filming must’ve really been on a bearable schedule because no one showed up looking exhausted and about to topple over, as is the case in many … Continue reading →

The King 2 Hearts Episode 20 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 24, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 21, 2016

So close, but not quite there. The King 2 Hearts won’t make my top-10 favorites list, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. Ultimately enough hiccups here and there accumulated that it weighed down the story in parts and stretched credulity in others. But that is the only rub in an otherwise magnificent drama watching experienced. I laughed, I cried, … Continue reading →

MBC Releases Adorable Official Stills from the OTP Date in Episode 19

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 24, 2012 by ockoalaMay 24, 2012

A balm for the teary soul is always a little bit of cheer. MBC released a veritable treasure trove of BTS pictures from episode 19 of The King 2 Hearts, Jae Ha and Hang Ah’s night out at the amusement park. The OTP was at times cheesy, at times strangely fast-paced, but almost always there was a palatable energy, chemistry, … Continue reading →

The King 2 Hearts Episode 19 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 23, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 9, 2014

There is very little I can write here that won’t completely spoil episode 19 of The King 2 Hearts, so I’ll keep it short. This drama continues to climb towards a climax when most other dramas are crawling to a whimpering conclusion. A few more twists and turns are revealed, and the road to ever after for a King and … Continue reading →

Filming Wraps on The King 2 Hearts and Latest Spoilers from the Set

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 22, 2012 by ockoalaMay 22, 2012

The final crew of The King 2 Hearts finished filming just hours ago on Tuesday night, and below are the cast and crew commemorative pictures. Not having this drama filming hours before the final episode broadcasts on Thursday is already a herculean feat I need to applaud. *clap clap clap* This drama has thus far exceeded every expectation I had, … Continue reading →
