Yoon Eun Hye in October High Cut and Organizes Charity Auction at Her Cafe

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 29, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 30, 2014

There’s been a steady stream of upcoming K-dramas that are fun to discuss which established or up-and-coming star would headline it. Sadly there isn’t a female-centric project coming up in sight which means Yoon Eun Hye will probably not be coming back to the small screen anytime soon. When I say female-centric it means the drama revolves around the female … Continue reading →

Cha Seung Won Visits Taiwan for the Third Time to Promote You’re All Surrounded

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 10, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 9, 2014

All the Korean entertainers are making overseas visits to other Asian countries a normal and regular part of their promotional schedules. Taiwan is one hot destination and plenty of variety shows have filmed there recently from Grandpas Over Flowers to Running Man. Cha Seung Won made his third visit to the island this week to promote the upcoming network airing … Continue reading →

Soon to be Discharged Yoo Seung Ho Turns 21 Years Old and is Baby Jailbait No More

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 24, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 24, 2014

I’m grateful for little things in life, and one of them is for being able to blog about Yoo Seung Ho during what will be the prime of his career. My baby boy has been in the army for a year and a half now and is actually coming back in early December. The exact date is December 4th and … Continue reading →

Grown Up Kim Yoo Jung is Gorgeous in Sprawling New BNT International Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 11, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 11, 2014

It has been the utmost pleasure watching Kim Yoo Jung grow up for the last decade before the eyes of K-drama viewers. Unlike child stars like Kim Sae Ron who broke out in high profile Chungmuro with movies like The Man From Nowhere (Ahjusshi), Kim Yoo Jung has been the go-to drama child actress for the better part of her … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye Shines at the China Stops on Her Story of An Angel Fan Tour

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 7, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 7, 2014

I haven’t been following too closely with Park Shin Hye‘s current non-acting activities but this is a good time to check back in with her. She wrapped the sageuk The Royal Tailor weeks ago but since the beginning of this year she’s been heading overseas for a series of fanmeetings which have been leisurely spaced out. I believe she started … Continue reading →

Retrospective: Jo Seung Woo Steals Hearts as a Dashing Theater Leading Man For Scene Playbill Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 6, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 5, 2014

Jo Seung Woo is a beautiful beautiful man. I hope there is unanimous agreement on that point alone, but throw in his immense and wide-ranging talent from movies to theater and now to dramas, this man pretty much can do no wrong in my eyes. I first saw him in The Classic and loved him and he really made Tazza … Continue reading →

Ethan Ruan Mature But Still Offbeat in the July Issue of Yes Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 1, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 1, 2014

I love Ethan Ruan but personally find his career trajectory a good thing for him but not so much for me. It was his drama works that made me a fan but he’s been exclusively movies for the last few years and none are works I consider fun stuff to watch. It’s award-winning to be sure, such as his fierce … Continue reading →

Jang Geun Seok is a Cute Summer Boy-next-door in The Star Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 27, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 26, 2014

I haven’t been following Jang Geuk Seok for the last few months since he doesn’t have an acting project on the horizon. His singing career is the very side of him I can’t stand so whenever he focuses on that is when I tune out for my sanity’s sake. His last acting gig was the unfortunately named and underrated Pretty … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi Bring Their Potent Chemistry to the Pages of Bazaar Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 13, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2014

This post has been long overdue since the gorgeous pictures here were released last month in June prior to the premiere of the currently airing KBS sageuk Joseon Gunman. Leads Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi shot a moody throwback pictorial for Bazaar Korea that takes them out of drama character and plops them into an early twentieth century … Continue reading →

The Charming Leads of Pleasantly Surprised Land the July Cover of S-Pop Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 12, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2014

SETTV doesn’t always have narratively good dramas but it more often than not manages to cobble together great OTP leads to make mediocre dramas a hit and turn crap dramas into a decent outing. It’s landed on the formula of using star appeal and onscreen chemistry to sustain the viewer interest, and no other drama in its recent crop personifies … Continue reading →

Ha Ji Won and Gong Yoo Officially Designated Goodwill Tax Ambassadors for 2014

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 12, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2014

There will likely be more photo opportunities involving Ha Ji Won and Gong Yoo for the rest of 2014 as the two of them were officially appointed the goodwill tax ambassadors for the South Korean National Tax Service. For nearly two decades in the industry these two faves of mine have never worked together until now so I won’t look a … Continue reading →

Lego Lee is the Face of the 2014 Asian Junior Athletic Championships and Has Upcoming TW-movie Release

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2014 by ockoalaJune 30, 2014

It’s almost two months now since In a Good Way ended its half-year long run and I’m feeling nostalgic but not suffering from any withdrawals. The more distance placed between me and the ending, the more it feels just right in bittersweet coming-of-age choices. Plus there’s the movie to look forward to! It’s all good in IAGW fandom. That doesn’t … Continue reading →

Super Stylish Big Man Kang Ji Hwan in the June Edition of Geek Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 14, 2014 by ockoalaJune 13, 2014

The pleasure of watching Kang Ji Hwan act is magnified by how gorgeous this man is. Sometimes it’s easy to forget because he gets so into character and some of his characters are not all that attractively styled. When he’s let out of a role, he returns to being the stylish and chic man’s man he is in real life … Continue reading →
