Jung Hae In and Kim Go Eun are Bright-eyed and Bushy-tailed for Romance in Cine21 Spread

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 9, 2019
Couple smiling together in soft lighting.

I’m not quite feeling the onscreen or on print chemistry of Jung Hae In and Kim Go Eun as they promote their upcoming movie Tune in for Love (Yoo Yeol’s Music Album). They kinda have sibling face and the same sweet low key vibe when they act so they at most seem like best platonic friends type, and I felt … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 10, 2019
Three actors posing for a photo together.

The lineup is set for upcoming tvN thriller drama Psychopath Diary, which sounds a lot scarier than the set up seems. Yoon Si Yoon, Jung In Sun, and Park Sung Hoon have signed up for the drama to play a cat-and-mouse game with a mistaken identity twist. Yoon Si Yoon is a mousy, pushover of a stock broker who tries … Continue reading →

Hayami Mokomichi Surprise Marries Same Age J-actress Hirayama Aya

Another one of J-ent’s male leads got hitched and it’s Hayami Mokomichi‘s turn to surprise with a life long commitment. I feel like J-ent goes for the extremes, deny dating or hide to so well until it’s time to get married and them drop a bombshell on fans. Nothing wrong with that, ultimately fans can decide whether to continue to … Continue reading →

If K-ent is having a crazy idol dating week last week, this week C-ent takes the reins with perpetual tabloid target C-actress Yang Mi being front and center for maybe having a new boyfriend. It’s a big deal since she’s divorced from ex-husband HK-actor Hawick Lau and has a 5-year old daughter than the paps are constantly insinuating she’s basically … Continue reading →

Three characters in a romantic drama poster.

I recently had to repaint my house and went to town on paint swatches at my local paint store. It’s insane how many colors and color families there are but a good reminder that what looks good takes coordination and pairing. The drama posters are out for Kim So Hyun‘s Netflix drama Love Alarm adapted from the same name webtoon … Continue reading →

Gong Hyo Jin Starts Filming KBS Drama When Camellia Blooms

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 8, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 7, 2019
Two women sitting at a table in a cafe.

Filming has started for early fall KBS drama When Camellia Blooms and I’m super excited to see leading lady Gong Hyo Jin back on the small screen. With the major networks either ending Mon-Tues dramas or putting it on hiatus, it just means fewer dramas in general and also likely less opportunities to see actors and actresses as often as … Continue reading →

Young warrior dressed in traditional attire.

I wouldn’t be surprised if PD Lee Eun Bok or his casting staff checked out currently airing tvN drama Hotel Del Luna and was compelled to reach out to Lee Do Hyun to snag him for an upcoming drama. The sageuk era cutie in Hotel won prickly Man Wol’s heart and also the audiences with his smirk and smooth flirting … Continue reading →

This sounds like such a cool and learning new experience for K-actress Park Shin Hye. She’s teaming up with MBC to narrate the upcoming documentary series titled Humanimal. No, it’s not some weird Sci-fi movie where a human/animal hybrid is produced, the documentary heads to the wilderness to film animals in their natural habitat and discusses how humans have impacted, … Continue reading →

This is such a cute and interesting update to share on D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) and his military enlistment. He’s finished his basic training and has been assigned to the kitchen army division for the remainder of his service period. It’s nothing to scoff at, imagine cooking three meals a day for hundreds of army guys, starting earlier than wake … Continue reading →

Jang Nara and Kim Nam Gil Deny Dating and Wedding Rumors, Dispatch Confirms it is Not True

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 5, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 5, 2019

This is either a flat out hoax rumor or one of the oddest new romances in K-ent. Jang Nara and Kim Nam Gil started off their week with rumors that Dispatch was planning to run a story of the two dating for 7 years and planning a year end 2019 wedding. Age and visuals wise it’s not a bad pairing, … Continue reading →
