Kwon Sang Woo and Son Tae Young Film CF Together and Celebrate 10th Anniversary

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 26, 2017 by ockoalaMay 25, 2017
Couple posing together, smiling in studio.

I’ve been quietly watching Wed-Thurs KBS noir mystery drama Queen of Mystery and love it very much. It’s got a lovely mellow pace with pleasant quirkiness aplenty, like a warm cup of tea to sip while perusing an esoteric tome. Much props go to both leads Choi Kang Hee and Kwon Sang Woo, and while I loved her once in … Continue reading →

I’m never going to make fun of K-drama’s penchant for noise bleeds to indicate working too hard or closeted illness, because that’s exactly what led Kim Woo Bin to get a physical which diagnosed his ealry stage nasopharyngeal cancer.

Person sitting by a window with dog.

I don’t even have words for this surreal and truly upsetting K-ent breaking news story – Hallyu model-turned-actor Kim Woo Bin has been diagnosed with cancer and has halted his activities to start treatment. It’s shocking to hear that at 27 years old Kim Woo Bin is suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer, but luckily it’s just in the early stages which is … Continue reading →

Ranking information and voting results chart.

This is a rather ignominious list to win but it’s a pretty funny worst list to be on and also plenty of opportunity to improve.

Yunho Returns From Military Service and Drops Manly Arena Magazine Cover and Spread

Magazine cover featuring a man in suit.

I’m not a Yunho fan but any Korean male star who dutifully and earnestly does his military service and comes back yummier is good in my book. DBSK is still short one member with Changmin still in the military but Yunho was discharged from the army a month ago on April 19th and he’s already gracing the cover and pages … Continue reading →
