Two people taking selfies together, smiling.

It’s a double header for this Throwback Thursday nostalgia, both courtesy of my cutie Lee Jong Seok.

Playing an iconic character, one as distinct and memorable as Lee Jun Ki‘s version of the Bu Bu Jing Xin 4th prince in Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, may make it difficult for audiences to adjust to a transition to another persona. But for the specific career breadth and depth of of Lee Jun Ki, he’s been the master chameleon … Continue reading →

It’s been a well-deserved but now much too long acting break for K-actress Lee Bo Young, going on maternity leave over a year ago after welcoming first daughter with husband K-actor Ji Sung. Last month she was reportedly considering her television return in early 2017 with the K-drama remake of Japanese drama Mother. It’s the story of an elementary school … Continue reading →

Pairing popularity celebrities with philanthropic or social causes is always a smart move, but a triple applause for combining that combo with adorable babies. Cosmopolitan Korea released a new black-and-white but oh so adorable pictorial of Korean stars cradling chubby babies in support of Letters From Angels, a Korean adoption campaign. Previous years have seen the same holidays season pictorials … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 30, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 29, 2016

I feel like the final waves of k-Bu Bu Jing Xin aftershocks have finally subsided, the highs and lows of watching Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo definitely is not for the faint of heart. I’m glad I watched it, the original is beloved to me and the shining star is (re)born performance of male lead Lee Jun Ki validates the … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye may be an all grown up right child actress with nearly two decades in the entertainment industry but her personal convictions are truly commendable despite working superficial surroundings. Park Shin Hye has just been inducted into the Korea Food for the Hungry International (KFHI)’s Philanthropy Club, becoming the 36th inductee after donating over the years over 100 million … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young and Park Jung Min in Elle Korea and Press Conference for Romeo and Juliet

I’m always impressed with stage actors even a step above their screen brethren, it takes an immense amount of confidence and practice to act live in front of an audience. I try to watch as many stage productions as available and always bemoan not living in a city with more offerings. Seoul is vibrant with theater culture in both stage … Continue reading →

What to make of Lee Jun Ki after the debacle that is K-Bu Bu Jing Xin? A new career high due to being the best thing in a complete hot mess? Perhaps, but ultimately he’s carved out a fifteen year plus acting and singing career being so darn optimistic and earnest about each and every endeavor. He’s basically the multi-talented … Continue reading →

The original Hallyu stars were out in force this past weekend – while Kim Tae Hee, Han JI Min and Jang Dong Gun attending one event while across town Ha Ji Won showed up to adoring fans on her solo outing. I’m not a fan of her outfit at all until I realized that the color scheme of the Stylus … Continue reading →

Seeing Hyun Bin looking so dapper fine at a recent bowling event is a nice reminder that screenwriter Kim Eun Sook not only makes stars she can also take top stars and make then even more successful and popular. Binnie had one of the biggest ratings hits in K-drama history with My Name is Kim Sam Soon already under his … Continue reading →

Classic blue becomes Park Shin Hye, much like the way her year long transition into full blown adult roles and mature vibe becomes her. Park Shin Hye has been a spokes model for Bruno Magli accessories in South Korea for the last three years so her presence at a recent brand event was expected. I thought she looked graceful and … Continue reading →

Song Yoona Relaxed for Marie Claire and Lighting the Screen on Fire in The K2

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2016
Person sitting on the floor, natural light.

I have such an unhealthy drama viewer crush on Song Yoon Ah right now, and it’s been years since the Hotelier days. She wasn’t even my female lead crush in On Air, for whatever reason I liked Kim Ha Neul better there even if I liked Song Yoon Ah and Park Yong Ha‘s coupling more. I’m sure Song Yoon Ah … Continue reading →
