A Koala's Playground Posted on June 25, 2020 by ockoalaJune 24, 2020

Awwww, long live friendships in K-ent and I feel like Yoo Ah In has really nestled himself in tight with so many top stars and maintained that friendship through the years.

I just realized a funny connection moment, Park Shin Hye played a recluse and near shut in female lead in drama Flower Boy Next Door and now nearly 10 years later she’s the same character but in a different genre and with higher stakes. In upcoming zombie movie #Alive she’s still alive during the early onslaught of a zombie apocalypse … Continue reading →

Two characters surrounded by zombies in a building.

The genre of zombie shows is like the zombies themselves, every time a pundit declares the genre dead the is yet another one waiting in the wings to pop out. I skipped what is now being called the interminable The Walking Dead so I’m not yet tired of this genre, and the Korean production teams have been doing their own … Continue reading →

K-ent is reporting that upcoming gritty K-movie Bogota starring Song Joong Ki may not see the light of day.

The first teaser trailer is out for sci-fi swashbuckling Korean film Space Sweepers (Korean title Victory Ship) and I already hate the stupid English title. It’s so hokey and I’m sure the movie is not intended as tongue-in-cheek entertainment so bad its bad Starship Troopers so the name could just stick … Continue reading →

The original cast of hit sageuk swashbuckling 2014 movie Pirates have jumped ship for the long in the works sequel but the new cast isn’t shabby at all.
