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 →

K-media Discusses How Descendants of the Sun is the Only Ratings Success Pre-produced K-drama in 2016

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 25, 2016 by ockoalaDecember 25, 2016
Collage of popular Korean drama scenes.

K-media is taking stock of 2016 and the results are not exactly promising for the future of pre-producing K-dramas. What was once a rarity such as the mega budget Legend felt like a norm in 2016 with a slew of fully pre-produced K-dramas aimed at being simulcast in China and further recoup costs. I don’t know which of the pre-produced … Continue reading →

A great and satisfying ending for a drama affects me way more than an impressive start, it’s the last thing to cross my eyes and mind and with it the lingering effects leave a swelling crescendo. KBS Wed-Thurs drama Uncontrollably Fond ended its 20-episode run today, with an ending that was narratively expected but an emotional payoff way better than … Continue reading →

Summer Romance K-dramas Pile on the OTP Kisses in Doctors, Uncontrollably Fond, and W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 27, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 27, 2016
Romantic moment between a couple outdoors.

There’s been a whole lotta of kissing going on in prime time K-dramas, specifically in the three trendiest and buzzed about dramas on air right now. Doctors holding down the Mon-Tues slot had one terrible rainy kiss a few weeks ago that needs to be permanently deleted from audience memories, but made up for it with another kiss and comforting … Continue reading →

Suzy Jump Starts the Next Season in Autumnal Colored Pictorial for Grazia Magazine

Young woman in elegant dress, posing thoughtfully.

The dichotomy of KBS drama Uncontrollably Fond is easy to explain but hard to quantify objectively. I love the drama but find both leads Kim Woo Bin and Suzy‘s acting woefully inconsistent and way to frequently comes across as them acting like themselves. So far their chemistry isn’t even all that great, he’s got better chemistry with Jin Kyung as his … Continue reading →

The ratings have shaken out for the current Wed-Thurs prime time drama slate and it’s a continuing win for KBS and Uncontrollably Fond. The first episode premiere of W: Two Worlds settled into a comfortable middle spot – UF took the lead with its episode 5 garnering an increase to 12.9% AGB nationwide and 14% AGB Seoul, while W’s first … Continue reading →

Couple gazing lovingly at each other.

It’s likely a sigh of relief over at Chinese internet behemoth Youku, which bought the rights to exclusively live-air K-drama Uncontrollably Fond and paid big bucks to get it. The live-airing ability is only available to paid subscribers of the site while those wanting to watch for free with commercials will have to wait an additional day, still not a … Continue reading →

OTP Romance Set as Uncontrollably Fond Remains Consistent in Second Episode Rating of 12.5% AGB Nationwide

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 8, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 8, 2016
Two characters standing on snowy landscape.

I’m relieved the second episode of Uncontrollably Fond built nicely on the introductory first episode, and got better in all ways narrative, chemistry, and acting. It’s even more of a relief that the ratings stayed exactly the same, with episode 2 also garnering 12.5% AGB nationwide ratings. This drama was so broadly touted and discussed I prefer the viewing base … Continue reading →

Four celebrities holding signed notebooks.

Today saw the premiere of fully pre-produced KBS prime time melodrama Uncontrollably Fond by screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee, arriving on a hot July Wednesday while shelling freezing winter temperatures onscreen. I didn’t know for certain whether domestic Korean viewers had the appetite for an old school type melo romance even with well known big name stars Suzy and Kim Woo … Continue reading →

Anticipation High After Long Drama Preview and Cute Cast at Uncontrollably Fond Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 6, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 6, 2016
Smiling man and woman at event.

The cast of premiering KBS Wed-Thurs melodrama romance Uncontrollably Fond is certainly acting uncontrollably cute at the press conference to primp out the highly anticipated drama to fans. Kim Woo Bin definitely resembles a lumbering dinosaur type beast man but manages to act boyish cute whenever he’s joking around, and he certainly looks like he’s comfortable with costar Suzy the … Continue reading →
