The Jung Ho Yeon popularity train does not appear to be slowly down in the slightest, nearly six months after Squid Game propelled her from model to worldwide star.

Ro Woon Shines In Front of the Camera Despite Simple Black and White Backdrop March 2022 Bazaar Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Genre hopping seems to be idol-actor Ro Woon‘s current modus operandi and so far so good. He captured my attention in high school fantasy drama Extraordinary You as a character and actor straight out of a manga/manhwa. Next came the swoony younger man romeo in She Will Never Know (Sunbae, Please Don’t Put on that Lipstick). And now it’s the … Continue reading →

Kim Hee Sun Wins the Couture Queen Showdown with Punk Princess Vogue Pictorial Taking Full Advantage of Her Shorn Pink Locks Styled for the Drama Tomorrow

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I know K-actress Kim Hee Sun was already considered TOP of the beauties in her debut decade of the 1990’s but I was never that entranced by her among her same gen leading ladies. My like for her was really the last decade after she got married, had a child, and returned to the small screen with some really good … Continue reading →

Son Ye Jin Brings Her Goddess A-game to B-level Valentino Couture for Elle Korea March 2022 Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

One of the ancillary positives of Crash Landing on You for me was the validation and also outfit feast of seeing K-actress Son Ye Jin showcase her visuals. That she could pull off any outfit the drama put her in, including actual North Korea looks from hair to clothes plus accessories proved the adage that goddesses can wear potato sacks … Continue reading →

Song Hye Kyo Combines Fendi with Fierce in New Bazaar Korea March 2022 Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I found Song Hye Kyo‘s last drama Now, We are Breaking Up a real waste of the fashion industry. I don’t know if I was simply not feeling the fashions and plot lines but I felt the drama could have been set in any other industry and the same issues could apply. I also didn’t deliver the edgy trendy “high … Continue reading →

Not every project was a hit for her but she always came out fine if not better and that’s a sign that she either has … Continue reading →

Suzy Wraps Up 2021 with December Vogue Korea Dior and Decor Themed Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

This year 2021 didn’t see K-actress Suzy in any acting project but she’s bookended it with 2020’s Start-Up and 2022’s The Second Anna. Start-Up was definitely a Suzy type of role, plucky and determined with a down-to-earth charm, but for The Second Anna she’s going to play a woman who lies about her life and ends up living another life. … Continue reading →

Kim Go Eun Sheds Yumi’s Lowkey and Comfortable Image for Edgy Chic Couture in December 2021 Dazed Korea Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I think Kim Go Eun will be Yumi for me for the near future, especially with her going back for season 2 of Yumi’s Cells. She deservingly got praise many years ago for bringing the female lead in Cheese in the Trap to life but the drama was so problematic it doesn’t stand the test of time. If season 2 … Continue reading →

Kim Yoo Jung Stunning in Youthful Couture in Vogue Korea November 2021 Fashion Spread

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

There is something indelible about Kim Yoo Jung that I’m always enchanted by whatever she’s doing onscreen or posing offscreen. She simultaneously looks young, looks her age, but also has this softly mature vibe. Her most recent drama Lovers of the Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) she only looked young though which suited her character as she basically was a … Continue reading →
