A Koala's Playground Posted on August 27, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 26, 2018
Two smiling young men with different hairstyles.

It’s not unusual for top actors and actresses of the same generation to breach their onscreen rivalry for the same roles to a offscreen real friendship. A few come to mind that includes Lee Jong Seok and Kim Woo Bin, that they each costarred with same generation top star Suzy in success dramas validates their position of vying for the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 19, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 18, 2018
Esquire magazine cover featuring a close-up portrait.

When the Korean drama flower boy trend started the early days it was Jung Woo Sung in the mid-90s and in the twenty years since that moniker has been attached to plenty of It Boys. I always felt one of the most apropos use was to describe K-actor Song Joong Ki and not in a pejorative all looks no talent … Continue reading →

The long wait is over the return of one of my fave K-actresses so imma hoping 2018 brings back the other as well, if not in a project that airs this year then at least news that she’s picked her next role.

Song Joong Ki to Hold 10th Anniversary Fan Meeting in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 8, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 7, 2018
Fan meeting celebration with "10" balloons.

It’s been 10 years since K-actor Song Joong Ki debuted and I can’t think of anything he could have done differently to achieve greater success than what he actually accomplished. It was both slow and steady without working nonstop, yet he reached the pinnacle of Hallyu fame and critical acclaim in a pretty short period of time. His agency Blossom … Continue reading →

I know this post is a month late but I’m a month late to see this airport pictures of my baby boy Lee Seung Gi jetting out of Incheon Airport.

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 18, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 17, 2018
Man singing with "Happy Birthday" text.

It’s a good time to check in with K-actor Kim Woo Bin who celebrated his 30th birthday (Korean age) on July 16th. It’s fairly certain this young man, who has been battling nasopharyngeal cancer of the nose and throat, will clearly be exempt from military service and this time the K-netizens will finally not have salty and disapproving commentary. That … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2018 by ockoalaJune 29, 2018
Young woman in black dress, walking outdoors.

It’s fairly clear that after a five year long hiatus from K-ent, once the face of Hallyu dramas Yoon Eun Hye has fallen from the first line media radar that I don’t see reports about her often now in English fandom. She’s also not covered as much by K-media but I’m still firm in my affection for her and really … Continue reading →

Yoon Eun Hye Updates Beautiful Pictures from Skincare Brand Event in China

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 6, 2018 by ockoalaJune 5, 2018
Young woman making peace signs, smiling happily.

I’m trained to accept that my favorite male actors have to serve nearly two years of military duty and be away from the screen during, but the hiatus of an actress rare nowadays especially when married ones keep on working and even the mommy ones come back after maternity leave. It really makes Yoon Eun Hye the outlier in taking … Continue reading →

Leave it to Yoo Seung Ho to look simultaneously like a cute little boy and a very accomplished young actor. It’s a testament to his depth of acting and life experience, with a full child actor resume and having completed his two years of active duty military service all before turning 23 years old.
