A Koala's Playground Posted on October 5, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2013

KBS dropped a lot of new stills for Marry Him If You Dare heading into the weekend which makes for a nice treat to tide the fans through until next week. That’s when the heavy load of promotional material will likely drop since it’s the week prior to its premiere on October 14th. Some of these official stills won’t come … Continue reading →

Poll Time: Looking Forward to the Fall 2013 K-dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2013

It’s pretty easy to figure out which K-dramas I’m interested in or excited about but there are lots more K-drama fishes in the pond then the ones I care to cover. For companies worldwide the fourth and final quarter of the year has started and it’s time to put the pedal to the metal and bring home the win. For … Continue reading →

Cable Drama Unemployed Romance with Nam Goong Min and Lee Young Ah Premieres Saturday

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2013

The upcoming cable drama Unemployed Romance (literal title Unemployment Benefits Romance) is one of those odd ducks for me. I love Nam Goong Min almost as much as I am adverse to Lee Young Ah. I’ll confess that I never warmed up to Lee Young Ah because she’s always been rather OTT in acting and I found her singularly plain. … Continue reading →

Dating Rumors Between Puff Guo and Her Second Male Lead From the Set of Just You

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 3, 2013

LOL, these four are such adorable hams. There is a new dating news coming out from the popular Taiwan idol drama Just You (Just Want to Make You Fall in Love with Me), but it’s not the two people that you might be hoping for. The drama has been slowly gaining viewers and popularity as it airs, a rare beast … Continue reading →

Tears Flow for Park Shin Hye on the Huntington Beach Boardwalk for Heirs

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 3, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 3, 2013

The countdown to the premiere of Heirs or The Inheritors has gone from months to weeks and now to mere days. Despite the even-larger-than-usual sprawling cast, this drama is still anchored by the two leads Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye if I look at the overwhelming number of official stills released of both of them individually or together. … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 3, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 3, 2013

The 18th annual Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) kicked off yesterday in the seaside town of Busan, South Korea with lots of glam and anticipation.

Song Seung Heon in High Cut and Confirms Human Addiction Movie with Jo Yeo Jung

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 3, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 3, 2013

Every time Song Seung Heon wants to “branch out”, he inevitably ends up making me laugh unintentionally but always coming out unscathed. When one’s acting ability is already universally acknowledged as nonexistent, then it really is cool that people can still enjoy him for the pretty. Recently he’s been a time-traveling doctor, a gangster in love, a princess-loving diplomat chaebol … Continue reading →

Medical Top Team Delays Premiere for a Week and Will Go Head-to-Head Against Heirs

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 3, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2013

This week is simultaneously a very slow week in K-dramaland since there isn’t a new drama premiering, but also a very anxious week for the fans of The Master’s Sun which is wrapping up in mere hours. Two Weeks ended last week on MBC so its follow up drama the geniuses-in-one-hospital medical drama Medical Top Team was slated to premiere … Continue reading →

Wu Zun’s Confession Tour Continues as He Promotes New Book and Reveals He’s Having Baby Number 2

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2013

The Wu Zun not-so-shocking news reveals enters its second day in Taiwan as he held a press conference for the release of his new self-help book and promptly revealed he was about to be a dad again any day now.

Third Preview Teaser for Heirs Drops Lots of Narrative Goodness

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2013

The release of the third preview teaser for Heirs or The Inheritors helps us take a break from the overload of character stills from the drama. This is the most substantive teaser to date and really showcases what to expect. The possibility that Heirs would be a hot mess was bandied about mostly because of how derivative the set up … Continue reading →

Kang Min Hyuk and Park Shin Hye Go on a Lollipop Date in Hollywood for Heirs

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 1, 2013

Wouldn’t Kang Min Hyuk look adorable in a Superman costume? I only suggest this because from the look of things in Heirs, he might have just come to the rescue of a highly anticipated K-drama that has been releasing a succession of pretty on picture but dead with emotion stills. The first pictures are out of Kang Min Hyuk and … Continue reading →

Marry Him If You Dare Introduces Jung Yong Hwa and His Network President Halmoni

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 1, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 1, 2013

Marry Him If You Dare is right on time with today’s promotional material drop. When I heard Jung Yong Hwa was the grandson of the the network station president, I thought his grandparent would have been some gruff haraboji so it’s with a pleasant surprise to discover that his character Park Se Joo has a halmoni who dotes on him. … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 1, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2014

For folks who’ve been chilling at my blog for years now, or at least since 2011, this will come as no surprise for you since I wrote an entire post about it when the widely known rumor was first reported in the TW-news. But for others new to TW-ent or have been living under a rock, this will obviously be … Continue reading →
