A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The fallout from the Li Yi Feng solicitation of prostitution arrest is still reverberating in C-ent. Overnight he lost all 13 of his endorsement deals and the next day workers were spotted in store windows, on subway platforms, and on buildings removing any billboard or poster with him on it. He’s already been scrubbed from his drama and movie pages … Continue reading →

Producers of Along with the Gods Manhwa Planning K-drama Adaptation and Deciding Between Network Airing or Streaming Only

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Normally I think a hit movie should just stay in that medium and not get a television version (and vice-versa) but I’m actually game for a K-drama adaptation of Along with the Gods. I didn’t read the original source manhwa but I loved loved loved the two K-movies that were massive box office hits. I always recommend it to viewers … Continue reading →

Xianxia C-drama The Longest Promise with Xiao Zhan and Ren Min Release New Stills for Mid-Autumn Festival with No Airing Date in Sight

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The title for The Longest Promise may end up prescient if this drama keeps on never having an air date. There are plenty of long shelved C-dramas but so far this one doesn’t have a scandal and the topic isn’t (yet) contain anything the C-government wants to discourage from being shown. The drama released two new stills last weekend with … Continue reading →

Netflix A-lister Packed K-drama Narco-Saints with Ha Jung Woo, Hwang Jung Min, and Park Hae Soo Premieres to Mixed Reviews But Solid Viewership Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

This K-drama is like made the exact opposite of what would interest me lol. No offense but I’ve still not watched Breaking Bad so Narco-Saints can pack itself with as many A-listers as it has and I’ll still nod appreciatively that this drama exists while having no urge to watch. It’s going to appeal to Mr. Koala for sure and … Continue reading →

Two Upcoming C-dramas with Xu Kai Release New Stills for Moon Festival – Modern Romance She and Her Perfect Husband with Yang Mi and Period Drama Wonderland of Love with Jing Tian

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

It’s weird, I’m not a Xu Kai fan probably because I won’t touch his breakout drama Story of Yanxi Palace with a ten foot pole (allergic to palace dramas and Yumama), but I am oddly super looking forward to both of his upcoming dramas. For She and Her Perfect Husband (爱的二八定律) with Yang Mi, the preview really hooked me. It’s … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I feel like there is so much going on in entertainment news these days that the Fall Fashion show season which is usually more prominent in news reports is getting below the fold treatment. But fans of stars in attendance definitely can enjoy their baes decked out and more than ever getting prime billing in the front row. K-actor Lee … Continue reading →

Zhao Li Ying and Lin Geng Xin Still Gots the Chemistry in New Moon Festival Still for C-drama The Legend of Shen Li

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I really love the ordinary people feel of The Legend of Shen Li promo stills so far. It’s a xianxia drama but it doesn’t make it so over-the-top with bright colors and overly accessorized. A new still is out of leads Zhao Li Ying and Lin Geng Xin in warmer embrace standing in front of a country estate wearing muted … Continue reading →

Beijing Police Confirm Li Yi Feng has Been Detained for Solicitation, His Name Erased From All Drama and Movie Pages, and Over a Dozen Brands End Endorsements

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

There is a Chinese saying “If you know/knew what will happen, why act like that back then?” (早知如此 何必当初), and it tells people that one should know the consequences will come of actions and yet people still misbehave. With the cancellations of so many Chinese actors (Kris Wu, Deng Lun, Zhang Zhe Han, Li Yun Di) and actresses (Fan Bing … Continue reading →

Confidential Assignment 2 a Hit After Netting 2 Million Tickets Sold in Just 6 Days After Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Aside from the cheesy low budget early posters for Confidential Assignment 2: International, I figured this movie would appeal to the general public and be a moneymaker and good buzz for all involved. Then the last two weeks the cast and crew went all out on the promo circuit, I counted at least four different press conferences and events and … Continue reading →
