A Koala's Playground Posted on September 28, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 28, 2013

Kim Bum may be wasting his time in the currently airing sageuk Goddess of Fire, but unlike leads Moon Geun Young and Lee Sang Yoon, he can swan off and get less screen time (win and win) because he needs to do promotions for the upcoming big-budgeted Hong Kong period fantasy movie Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon. … Continue reading →

Official Movie Posters and Long Trailer for Star-studded Detective Dee Prequel

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 8, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 7, 2013

The ingenuity and heart from the heydays of the wuxia or period movies are long gone and even the famed directors from that era have taken to substituting special effects and intricate fighting for good storytelling. I still watch them because it’s the equivalent of a popcorn flick, but I do miss the days when such flicks could actually be … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 21, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2013

The netizens in South Korea are notoriously judgmental and not afraid to unleash their ire at whatever is the hot topic du jour.

Song Seung Heon Considers Adult Rated Sensual K-movie as Next Project

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 15, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 15, 2013

Go ahead, judge me all you want. The appreciation for male beauty needn’t be a shameful thing, as along as its acknowledged thusly and no further validation is added thereto. I’ve wondered why its taken so long since Song Seung Heon started his acting career for him to strip away any pretense that he can act and just let his … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 22, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 21, 2013

It’s a sad state of affairs that Kang Ji Hwan is in the States and so close yet still so far away because I’ve no time to go stalk him. Boo hoo to that. Since wrapping the weekend drama The Incarnation of Money in early Spring, Kang Ji Hwan took a short break and then quietly jetted to Los Angeles … Continue reading →
