Han Hyo Joo and Bae Soo Bin Reunites for Fan Meeting and Dong Yi Promotions in Japan

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 14, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 14, 2011

Who second lead shipped in Brilliant Legacy/Shining Inheritance? That would be me, and what appears to be the vast majority of the drama viewing populace. Setting aside Lee Seung Gi’s hairstyle which ought to be banned, second male lead Bae Soo Bin’s Park Jun Se oppa was so darn oppariffic (new word I just coined) that all of us wanted … Continue reading →

Take that, Canon: A Kyoya and Haruhi MV for the Ouran Fan

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 6, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 6, 2011

How many times have I watched this video? Thank to the awesomer than awesome EternallyxShade, too many times to count, and I’m not even done yet. This just might be the single best Ouran High School Host Club live-action drama MV I’ve watched. Clearly I’m not over my KyoHaru fixation, but from the popularity of this video and the comments … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young Studying Abroad in New York City for Two Months

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 15, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 15, 2011

So near, yet still so far away. Namoo Actors just issued a press release that basically confirms the fan speculation in recent days that the ever lovely Moon Geun Young has left Korea for a short study abroad experience. She’ll be in New York City until mid-November as she takes English classes and does what any twenty-something living in Manhattan … Continue reading →

Daito Shunsuke: My Gift from the J-dorama Gods

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 5, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 4, 2011

While it may seem like I’ve got dibs on so many charismatic and talented young actors, it’s totally not so. Everyone feel free to MINE someone first, but it’s not my fault I locate hidden gems before everyone else. For example, I plucked Li Yi Feng out of English viewer obscurity and mined him in my first ever Sunny Happiness … Continue reading →

Ariel Lin Announces Retirement from Dramas for the Foreseeable Future

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 3, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 3, 2011

Damn those Taiwan tabloids and their propensity to sensationalize everything. Since news broke of Ariel Lin‘s new romance back in May (though the romance started earlier than that), the TW-media has been keen on conjuring up salacious gossip on the set of In Time With You between Ariel and her second male lead Sunny Yang, simply because they have quite … Continue reading →

Jung Woo Sung Reunites with Kim Tae Hee for LG Dios

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 2, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 1, 2011

Jung Woo Sung and Kim Tae Hee prove, for me at least, the adage that great onscreen pairings isn’t always about talent or acting ability as it is about the ephemeral thing called chemistry. LG Dios has teamed them up again (after they collaborated on the big budget movie The Restless) to sell it’s new line of kimchee fridges. They … Continue reading →

Ultimate Bromance: Yamapi and Ryo-chan

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 1, 2011

Wut wut? Koala wants to write about Ryo but she feels guilty because she’s promised her love forevermore to her Pi and she’s only allowed to love one NEWS boy? What’s a Koala to do? Easy, make it a bromance post, of course! I have no good reason why Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) has already starred in two of my bromance … Continue reading →

Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young Perform Mary Stayed Out All Night Drama Concerts in Japan

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 27, 2011 by ockoalaAugust 27, 2011

While Koala was on vacation this August, my GeunGeun babies took a working vacation to Japan as well. Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young, along with some of their Mary Stayed Out All Night co-stars, headed to Tokyo and then Osaka to put on a M3 drama concert for the fans in Japan.

Kim Hyun Joong Visits Taiwan to Promote his Album Breakdown

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 19, 2011 by ockoalaAugust 19, 2011

Grrrrr, Hyun Joong, you are just trying to torment your noona (ME), aren’t you? I bitch about not being fond of your new nose, and then BAM, you toddle off to Taiwan for a whirlwind trip looking about as hot as I have ever seen you look. You are simply going to force me to accept your new visage by … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 3, 2011 by ockoalaAugust 3, 2011

She’s went back to school for the first semester and is spending the Summer break on other activities.

Official Promotional Pictures of Mike He and Janine Chang Reunited for Happy Michelin Kitchen

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 26, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 30, 2011

Why don’t K-dramas do this, reuniting OTP for cameo roles? I swear Mike He and Janine Chang are my drama OTP id come to life. A decade of TW-idol dramas, and my vote is on the Mike-Janine pairing as hands down the prettiest OTP ever going by looks alone. It’s a testament to their onscreen chemistry that I shipped Yun … Continue reading →

Rainie Yang Holds Pre-Sale Concert for New Album with Joseph Chang as Surprise Guest

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 26, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 26, 2011

I love this song! I love Rainie Yang! I love Rainie with Joseph Chang, even if it’s all for promotional purposes! Okay, that felt good to get the fangirl enthusiasm out of me first. Pre-sales for Rainie’s new album Longing For (which is also the name of the second single off the album) have been scorching hot, as hot as … Continue reading →
