A person has a right to earn a living and with that K-star Park Yoochun can continue to scrounge up an entertainment career where and how he can.

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 11, 2022 by ockoalaSeptember 11, 2022
Action movie poster featuring three men.

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 →

Okay, this surprisingly sounds really interesting and a way to take both the Taiwanese love of supernatural movies dealing with Chinese cultural superstitions and the continued growth of the BL genre. A new Taiwanese movie is heading to the theaters and has recently gotten the honor to be the closing movie at the 2022 Golden Horse Film Festival. It’s titled … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 13, 2022 by ockoalaAugust 14, 2022
Action movie poster featuring three men.

Haha, maybe the graphic designer on the movie Confidential Assignment 2: International Cooperation heard all the complaints about how low budget and dumb the official movie posters were. So for the individual movie character posters at least each character looks less stiff albeit three dudes are literally doing the exact same pose. It’s the gun drawn one of course, with … Continue reading →

I mean, this movie is high profile, no? A sequel to a box office hit original and starring three movie star male leads and another movie star lead as the baddie and toss in an idol-actress for eye candy, it’s basically a box office guarantee.

Shin is back! And he’s leveled up to a smexy little low pony to boot lol. Now that he’s grown up since Kingdom the original first move in the adaptation of the same name shonen manga, I guess he’s no longer going to be screaming “HYO!” all day long and now focus his attentions on helping new bestie and young … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 1, 2022 by ockoalaAugust 1, 2022

That’s exactly what’s happening with upcoming K-movie Confidential Assignment 2, the sequel to the 2017 flick and this time two male leads in Hyun Bin … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 1, 2022 by ockoalaAugust 1, 2022
"Silhouette of armored knight against starry background."

It’s hilarious that I found out this news after I wrote the article about the upcoming Netflix live action drama adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho, where people groan about Netflix ruining their childhood memories, because THIS is what would ruin my childhood memories. I’m talking about the upcoming Hollywood movie live action adaptation of shonen manga Saint Seiya, which dominated … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 30, 2022 by ockoalaJuly 29, 2022
Car driving on a highway with city view.

Recently Netflix has been getting flack for its self-produced shows and movies, namely that there hasn’t been as good a quality as previous years and the hits from this year come from licensed shows that stream on the platform. I wouldn’t signal the death knell on Netflix anytime soon but I’m selfishly wishing all its new movies and dramas are … Continue reading →

Cast posing at movie premiere event.

So things are not exactly off to a glowing start for high profile K-movie Alienoid (Alien+Human Part 1), which held a media premiere last week on July 13th and got back mixed reviews.

Man with a cross symbol on his head.

If you’re allergic to Joo Won (I used to be!) or dislike angry bloodied men with a gun this this is clearly NOT for you. But for the rest of us it’s like the logical next step after Joo Won did Alice. Make him angrier (haha) and take away his memory and see what havoc he wreaks. The first stills … Continue reading →
