Lee Min Ho Receives Best Asia Pacific Actor Nod at the Baidu Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 25, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 25, 2013

Did Heirs turn out to be a good drama choice for Lee Min Ho? I’d say there is a good argument on either side that it helped him career and probably hindered his acting development. He’s still young and has plenty of opportunities ahead of him so I don’t begrudge that he picked a flimsy nonsensical idol drama to help … Continue reading →

SETTV Holds Year End Drama Awards and the In A Good Way Cuties Attend as Presenters

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 22, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2013

I wish I could unsee this but it’s seared into my brain now that Lego Lee can clearly self-uglify to the point where I wanted to stage an intervention. This weekend SETTV held its own drama awards to fete its big ratings dramas and popular actors and actresses from 2013. Because In A Good Way just started airing the drama … Continue reading →

Chris Wu Wins Best Actor at the 2013 Asian Television Awards in Singapore

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 7, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 6, 2013

I think there are drama lovers out there who will do collective fist pumps and scream “FINALLY!!!” with me once I share this news. At this week’s 18th annual Asian Television Awards held in Singapore, my man Chris Wu nabbed the Best Actor in a Drama award for his exquisite performance in the 5-episode Taiwanese docu-drama Emerging Light. Oh. Hells. … 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 →

Vic Zhou Wins Best Actor at the 2013 Golden Bell Awards in a Star-studded Ceremony

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 26, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 15, 2013

What is that you said? I can’t hear you over the ear splitting screaming still coming out of my mouth for the last 24 hours, give or take a few. I thought I had long since stopped caring whether deserving actors win awards or getting pissed over undeserving actors snatching a statuette. It’s a popularity context and a crap shoot, … Continue reading →

Popular Hallyu Stars Win 10th Anniversary Entertainment Award in Japan

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 20, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 19, 2013

This picture is so odd from the standpoint of seeing three K-stars that one never would have imagined standing together at an awards ceremony. I finally figured out what award Kim Jae Wook was headed to Japan to receive at the Korean Entertainment 10th Anniversary Awards in Japan. He was getting the special Producer’s Choice award, which in layman’s terms … Continue reading →

Yong Jun Hyung Nabs Best Rookie Actor for Monstar at the Korea Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 13, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2013

How come no one told me my baby Seol Chan won an award! My bad, Seol Chan is just a character, he’s not really real, despite Yong Jun Hyung delivering a stellar rookie actor performance in making him feel so very real. The Korea Drama Awards took place earlier this month on October 2nd and I honestly paid no heed and … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Other Stars Step Out for the Seoul International Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 5, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 5, 2013

The 8th Annual Seoul International Drama Awards took place last night, and it includes winners from around the world in countries where dramas or serials are produced. For the most part it was K-drama centric but it did try hard to acknowledge dramas in other parts of the world while simultaneously promoting K-dramas. Win and Win, I suppose. I’ll only … Continue reading →

Winners and Pretty Outfits from the 49th Baeksang Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 9, 2013 by ockoalaMay 9, 2013

Kim Min Hee is having arguably the best year of her life – she’s the newest Best Actress (Film) winner at the just completed 49th Baeksang Awards, and her newly outed relationship with Jo In Sung lit up the news cycle last month in a burst of chatter. Any thought that she’s not A-list enough for Jo In Sung better … Continue reading →

Kim Tae Hee and Kang Min Ah: The Two Exquisite Jang Ok Jungs

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 3, 2013 by ockoalaMay 3, 2013

I really am controlling myself from over-gushing about Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love. It is beyond anything I expected or could have hoped for, that was how low my expectations were going into this drama. I watched it after recapping episode 1 of Gu Family Book expecting an epic mess and a good laugh, and look where I am … Continue reading →

Koala Faves Rocked the Fashion Red Carpet at the Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2012

First off, Happy New Year to everyone! Of course that also means it’s drama awards time in Korea, with the three big networks trotting out their ratings successes to foist random meaningless awards on. When I first started watching dramas I used to wonder why the winners of the awards have almost zero correlation with the quality of their acting … Continue reading →
