A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2021
Couple sharing a romantic moment.

This post doesn’t need any editorializing, and really just needs to be viewed and savored. A talented and oh so generous K-netizen (doing the drama gods service!) created a one picture image for some of the most popular and beloved K-drama romances in the last two decades that captures the beginning and end.

jTBC Mon-Tues Drama The Light in Your Eyes with Han Ji Min, Kim Hye Ja, and Nam Joo Hyuk Sure to Wring Tears

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 10, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 9, 2019
Two women waving on a sunny street.

Han Ji Min and Kim Hye Ja are Mirror Images in New Promos for jTBC Drama The Light in Your Eyes

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2019 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2019
Two women enjoying nature in vibrant scenery.
