Talks Back on for Shim Eun Kyung as K-Nodame as Yoona Declines to Film Korean-Chinese Rom-com Movie with Eddie Peng

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 14, 2014

I was probably on a happy deserted island all by myself when the news broke of the casting of Yoona as Joo Won‘s leading lady in the K-remake of Nodame Cantabile. I honestly thought neither of them were the perfect fit so might as well go with the flow since I like her well enough after Prime Minister and I and … Continue reading →

Roy Qiu is a Dashing Airline Pilot for C-movie Love Falls From the Sky

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 9, 2014

There was a whole year when there was a Roy Qiu generated post at least once a week here. He had two successive SETTV hit dramas in Office Girls and Miss Rose, and I recapped the former midway until almost the end and recapped the latter from the beginning and dropped it when it dragged. He was the best thing … Continue reading →

Joseon K-movie Update: The Royal Tailor Wraps Filming While Sado Starts Shooting

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 7, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 6, 2014

It’s probably pure happenstance that one big-budget sageuk K-movie wrapped filming the exact same time another big-budget sageuk K-movie started filming. Hopefully the premiere dates won’t be in direct competition because I’m sure there’s enough audience members fans of each cast to go around. The Royal Tailor (Sanguiwon) starring Han Suk Kyu, Go Soo, Park Shin Hye, Yoo Yeon Suk, … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 5, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 5, 2014

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 3, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 3, 2014

The remake of hit movies and shows are nothing new across different entertainment industries. Sometimes it works and there is room for another version, other times one wishes the original would be left well enough alone. This year’s hit K-movie Miss Granny starring Shim Eum Kyung, which won her a Best Actress Baeksang, will be getting a C-movie version to … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 2, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 1, 2014

It’s been five-years since the critically acclaimed TW-drama Black & White, which spawned talks of a sequel or even movie reuniting the cop partner duo of Vic Zhou as Pi Zi and Mark Chao as Ying Xiong. For various reasons that never materialized and two years ago Director Tsai and Mark did reunite for the first movie prequel called Black … Continue reading →

J-movie Lupin the Third with Oguri Shun, Jerry Yan and Kim Joon Drops Kickass Official Movie Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 1, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 1, 2014

By all that is holy in the realm of fan-fiction, how the hell did this cast get assembled for the upcoming live-action adaptation of the classic shonen manga Lupin the Third? I posted the teaser trailer and first character posters a few months back and it already looked so fabulous I was ready to don my burgundy velvet jacket and … Continue reading →

Former EXO Member Kris is the Leading Man for C-movie Somewhere Only We Know

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 1, 2014 by ockoalaJune 30, 2014

I don’t know if the loss of one member from the dozen member boy idol group EXO has ended up making a difference in musical output or fan affection, but the departing member Kris has certainly moved on. The leader of the sub-unit EXO-M, Kris now officially goes by his full Chinese name Wu Yi Fan for his Chinese entertainment … Continue reading →

Second Movie Sequel Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno Releases Gripping Official Trailers

One woah momma isn’t enough for the just released official movie trailer for this Summer’s epic two-part sequel to the blockbuster and critically well-reviewed Rurouni Kenshin movie. It was a no-brainer for the studio to green light a sequel almost immediately after the movie opened to stellar reception both domestically in Japan as wells as overseas. What was unexpected was … Continue reading →

Filming Starts on C-movie Heirs From Another Star Mashing Up Two Popular K-dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 8, 2014 by ockoalaJune 8, 2014

In what might be perfect as a parody project but is instead a serious undertaking, China is capitalizing on the success of the two biggest K-dramas last year by mashing the the two together into a nugget of sure-to-be pure awful. Filming begun last week on a C-movie called Heirs From Another Star (來自星星的繼承者們) which is literally the spliced together … Continue reading →

Posters and Movie Trailer with Kim Nam Gil and Son Ye Jin Leading a Rollicking Band of Joseon-era Pirates

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 4, 2014 by ockoalaJune 4, 2014

Now this looks like a great Summer popcorn flick! The first teaser trailer has dropped for the upcoming Korean movie Pirates, which of course garners the immediate association that it’s going to be a Korean version of Pirates of the Caribbean. A bit of yes and no in that connection, yes it has Joseon era pirates but no it doesn’t … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 28, 2014 by ockoalaMay 27, 2014

Casting has been confirmed and is complete for the next big sageuk movie to start production shortly. It’s not a new story by any means and the movie Sado will instead be yet another dramatic re-telling of the infamous life of Crown Prince Sado of the Joseon era.
