A Koala's Playground Posted on August 21, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 24, 2016
Three friends taking a selfie together.

Three out of six hotties isn’t a bad get for SBS variety show Running Man, especially if it’s three goofy and talented actors who have built up a bromance over the last six months playing onscreen brothers. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) is about to premiere on August 29th on SBS and the promo circuit is now crossing … Continue reading →

Man in a cozy sweater, thoughtful expression.

The evolution of Lee Jun Ki continues with the upcoming K-drama version of Bu Bu Jing Xin, and despite this being his nth sageuk role in both drama and film I’m expecting to be wowed once again. The promotional circuit for Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) has been nothing short of a full court press, with the entire … Continue reading →

There’s finally an update on K-actress Yoon Eun Hye, and sadly it’s not an activity or event in Korea that may herald her return to K-ent. Yoon Eun Hye was in China last week attending a L’Oreal beauty launch event, dressed way too somber for a summertime fete with a black long sleeved dress with subtle contrasting panels in front. … Continue reading →

Wallace Huo Remains Super Popular after Slew of Hit C-dramas in Recent Years

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 28, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 27, 2016

I’ll always differentiate between B-PC and A-PC when it comes to my opinion of Wallace Huo. B-PC stands for before-Perfect Couple when he was best known to me as his Chinese Paladin 3 nickname of white tofu, inoffensively decent but rather bland. Then A-PC happened and I doubt there is anyone out there who doesn’t adore him to pieces after … Continue reading →

Young man smiling in graphic tee.

This week’s episode 5 of the surprisingly fantastic tvN ghostly drama Let’s Fight Ghost was about domestic child abuse. It totally made me cry since a mom’s biggest fear is any injury to her child, and in serendipitous timing of things comes news that K-actor Lee Jong Seok is partnering with popular Korean fashion designer Ja In Song for a … Continue reading →

Eric Deservingly Hits K-drama Daebak with Oh Hae Young Again

Smiling person in colorful cardigan and jeans.

There are certain drama fails that hit too hard and reside too long with me, and one such epic fail is the 2011 K-drama Spy Myung Wol. Conceptually it should have worked but it was poorly written with very unpalatable characters and chemistry, leading to an onset meltdown by the female lead and a near disaster in airing for the … Continue reading →

It’s a big get for the organizers of KCON Los Angeles, now in it’s fifth year and still rocking and rolling out the Hallyu. This year’s special guest is none other than Lee Min Ho, in a role occupied by Kim Soo Hyun last year and Lee Seung Gi the year before. By this trajectory I’m expecting to see Song … Continue reading →

Man in black jacket at red carpet event.

It’s a welcomed long time no see to spot Hallyu superstar Kim Soo Hyun out and about last week at the VIP premiere for blockbuster K-movie Train to Busan. He was soooooo over exposed in 2014 with You From Another Star, still too much everywhere in 2015 thanks to Producer, and now finally in a nice spot in 2016 with … Continue reading →
