Big Man Releases Lots of Promotional Materials With Another Week to Go

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2014 by ockoalaApril 19, 2014

I hope viewers aren’t writing off Big Man before it premieres. It’d be a shame to arrive DOA to do a myriad of factors – the lackluster lead-in from Full Sun, the two week break between Full Sun ending and Big Man starting to avoid an Empress Ki head-to-head, and the really wonky birth secret to steal a heart set … Continue reading →

Nam Sang Mi Confirmed to Romance Lee Jun Ki in Joseon Gunman

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 20, 2014 by ockoalaApril 20, 2014

I feel like my itty bitty casting concerned heart has been settled down with the hot off the press confirmation by Nam Sang Mi‘s agency that she has officially accepted the leading lady role in Joseon Gunman. Whew, now I don’t need to be cursing the drama gods or spend the first few posts about the drama lamenting the could … Continue reading →

Lotte Duty Free Goes Ahead with This Weekend’s Family Festival Event with Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 20, 2014 by ockoalaApril 20, 2014

The Sewol ferry sinking tragedy in South Korea is undoubtedly the center of news coverage and public concern in South Korea. Since last Wednesday, all networks have cancelled their variety show and drama broadcasts and that preemption extended into the weekend programs as well. Music events were also scuttled such as comeback showcases and fan meetings and anything that could … Continue reading →

Yoon Eun Hye Models Cartier and Hunky Seo Kang Joon for High Cut Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 20, 2014 by ockoalaApril 19, 2014

Yoon Eun Hye doesn’t have a current or upcoming acting project but that doesn’t mean she’s not a welcoming sight in the pages of High Cut magazine going solo and with major hunk candy to drape over. Seo Kang Joon is her idol hottie for this particular photo spread and he’s really one of the most promising idol aspiring actors … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 19, 2014 by ockoalaApril 18, 2014

Anyone ready for round two of Bride of the Century? No, I’m not talking about a sequel maybe involving a reformed Yi Kyung meeting her perfect man who ends up having a family curse spanning generations. What’s coming is a Chinese flavored Bride of the Century courtesy of a C-drama remake that is right around the corner. This is the … Continue reading →

Bu Bu Jing Qing Releases Intriguing 16-minute Long Sneak Peeks For First Three Episodes

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 19, 2014 by ockoalaApril 19, 2014

Thanks to the C-dramas love for giving audiences so many promotional spoilers, the online portal QQ has just released 16-minute cuts of each of the first three episodes of Bu Bu Jing Qing. I confess to quite enjoying the extensive sneak peek and now I’m genuinely excited to catch the drama when it airs on April 22nd. Either Bu Bu … Continue reading →

Song Seung Heon is a Love Obsessed Colonel in Upcoming K-erotic Movie

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 19, 2014 by ockoalaApril 19, 2014

I find Song Seung Heon a gorgeous specimen of male perfection, so much so I’m willing to shelve my acting requirements and watch him do what he does onscreen. If he calls acting then so be it, I call it “oppa being pretty”. It’s quite a feat to pull off nearly twenty years of acting and still not have a … Continue reading →

In a Good Way Episode 22 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 18, 2014

This episode of In a Good Way was a walk down memory lane for Liu Chuan to finally uncover the truth about the treasure and task his grandfather left him. But it was also an amazing walk down memory lane for the audience chock full of many Easter egg scenes that were homages to great moments earlier on in the … Continue reading →

C-drama Billion Dollar Inheritors Releases First Characters Looking Just Like K-Heirs

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2014 by ockoalaApril 18, 2014

Get ready to laugh until your belly aches. The first official character stills from the upcoming C-drama Billion Dollar Inheritors (亿万继承人) has just been released. This was the drama that made the news in the beginning of the year for being the C-remake of last year’s hit K-drama Heirs. Turns out it’s not a remake of Heirs as this particular … Continue reading →

Secret Love Affair Episode 10 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2014 by jomoApril 17, 2014

http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z392/Jomo143/sla10/successs_zps731a7bef.png Those above Hye Won believe it is greed for a position of power in Seohan that drives her. They exploit this as a way to keep Hye Won in check. Look at the way Mde Han manipulates the Sun Jae situation. Everyone knows or at least suspects something is going on between the student and teacher, but somehow that … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Episode 22 of In A Good Way

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2014 by ockoalaApril 17, 2014

I can sense interest in waning for In a Good Way, which is a shame since this drama remains as good as it’s ever been, and also because I know how rare of a beast it is. Just looking at the latest SETTV Sunday night drama Fall in Love with You is a startling reminder slap in the face to … Continue reading →

Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi Bring Back all the 4th Prince-Ruo Xi Feels for Bu Bu Jing Qing

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 17, 2014 by ockoalaApril 17, 2014

Goodness does the production for Bu Bu Jing Qing really know how to milk the Bu Bu Jing Xin feels. I freaking love this new drama poster! As the long-awaited sorta-sequel gets ready to premiere next Tuesday April 22nd, the promotional materials are starting to snowball and I’m being judicious about what I pluck out lest I get steamrolled by … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 17, 2014 by ockoalaApril 17, 2014

In the wake of South Korea’s worst disaster in decades after Wednesday morning’s capsize and sinking of a Jeju-bound ferry carrying nearly 500 passengers, all major broadcast networks canceled dramas and variety shows scheduled for that night. Due to the still unfolding nature of the rescue operation where nearly 280 passengers remain unaccounted for, the networks continued to focus all … Continue reading →
