Only a few days away from the July nuptials of Eugene and Ki Tae Young, and the ravishingly in love couple have released a few of their wedding pictures. Supposedly the majority of their wedding pictures will be shot during their European honeymoon as the couple wanted a natural backdrop for their sure-to-be-gorgeous pictures. I can’t wait to see the … Continue reading →
When I was watching episode 1 of Spy Myung Wol today, I noticed TPTB (The Powers That Be) not only made recently released from the military Eric do the obligatory shirtless shower scene, it also made him do an even more gratuitous swimming scene. All in the same episode. Considering second male lead Lee Jin Wook is also freshly six-packed … Continue reading →
La La La, this is a nearly incoherent post. Unlike esteemed Daheefanel and her gut-busting drunken posts (which are literally works of art), I don’t do drunk posts, even on days like this when I am totally wiped out mentally and physically. Food, what is that? Rest, where art thou? Sanity, come back here. But I am still able to … Continue reading →
Every time there is a sparkling, sizzling, scorching new onscreen pairing, drama viewers of various persuasions suddenly feel this uncontrollable urge to scream at the screen: Just Date Already! I’ve been there, done that. It’s often exhilarating, but mostly painful since the number of co-stars who ended up dating is a tiny fraction of the amount of acting couplings out … Continue reading →
In the blink of an eye, I’ve been blogging at the playground for a year now. June 8th is also another personal moment for me, but in the blog world it’s considered a bloggerversary. Over the past year, it’s been a pleasure sharing thoughtful and enthusiastic discourse about dramas and other sundry entertainment-related topics with new and old friends alike. … Continue reading →
It’s a sure sign that Summer is here (for the Northern Hemisphere at least) and love is in the air when suddenly K-entertainment explodes in one week with news that 3 separate star couples have gone public. Not 1, not 2, but 3! First up we have my sweetie pie Nam Sang Mi and her Life is Beautiful co-star Lee … Continue reading →
After sharing the happy news of their engagement two weeks ago, Eugene and Ki Tae Young held a press conference this week for the first time as a public couple, answering questions about their courtship, sharing news about their wedding, and generally being so stunningly happy I’m sure anyone in the vicinity of them must be bathed in their bliss. … Continue reading →
WAAAAAA, such great news! And no one knew they were even dating! Bravo to Eugene and Ki Tae Young, for having a normal relationship and finally deciding to tie the knot. News just broke that actress (and former S.E.S. member) Eugene is tying the knot with Ki Tae Young, her boyfriend of over a year, and also her co-star and … Continue reading →
I’ve been writing for only a short period of time, but I’ve discovered that drama lovers from around the world come and make friends and have fun at the playground. I’ve been asked to do things to make the blog more functional and easier to navigate, but all of that requires that I leave wordpress and migrate to a self-hosted … Continue reading →
Recently a panel of experienced entertainment veterans ranging from the former head of SBS to an acting professor at Seoul University got together and critiqued the pure acting ability of the top-paid stars in Korean entertainment. I found all the criticisms valid, the rankings based on acting ability pretty much dead on, and some of the critiques so funny I … Continue reading →
I’m too lazy to translate the world of fanfiction about the Geun-Geun Couple or stories continuing where Mary Stayed Out All Night left off. But when I came across this brilliant and ROFL picture story book, it begged me to take the time to share it. Bringing you a what-if scenario of: Mae Ri runs over Mu Gyul, sending him … Continue reading →

You can find all the current batch of headers in this post. … Continue reading →
