Yoo Seung Ho Romances Park Shin Hye in So Ji Sub Rap MV for Eraser

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2013

It’s here! This might be the last thing we see Yoo Seung Ho in before he enlists in the military so savor it while you can. His enlistment is imminent and his agent has said that it will be low key and not open to the media. On one hand I respect his decision to enlist like every other 19 … Continue reading →

Jung So Min Attends Japan Fan Meeting of Bad Guy Co-star Kim Nam Gil

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2013

Woah, these are two former drama co-stars I never thought to see together in any capacity again. Kim Nam Gil held a series of fan meetings in Japan in early January and his Bad Guy co-star Jung So Min was actually in attendance for all of them. Nothing going on between them, LOL, merely that Bad Guy was very popular … Continue reading →

Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek Has Four Equal Leads and Two Sets of OTP

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 22, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 22, 2013

The latest news report on the upcoming underdog drama Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek confirms that this will be a drama with two male leads and two female leads, rather than main versus second leads that most often sets up K-dramas. The most recent K-drama with leads with equal importance and screen time would be critically acclaimed The Chaser. The … Continue reading →

Flower Boy Next Door Episode 6 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 22, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 22, 2013

When I watch Flower Boy Next Door, I find myself appreciating it in real time. Normally we fickle beings don’t know a good thing when we see it, more often than not only appreciating things once it’s over. It’s hard to quantify something immediately, especially when there remains an unknown element that can shift the axis later. With that said, … Continue reading →

All-around Fashion Hilarity at the 7th Level Civil Servant Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 22, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 9, 2014

I am so amused by the press conference for 7th Level Civil Servant that I simply had to post about it despite having barely any interest for this drama. It’s been too long since I’ve seen such level of fashion epic fail from an entire drama cast at its press conference. I remember the ladies of Dream High 2 collectively … Continue reading →

Yoo Ah In and Jae Hee Join Kim Tae Hee in Upcoming Sageuk Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2013 by ockoalaApril 16, 2013

Well……this outta be interesting. SBS Mon-Tues is off to a melodrama start with Yawang (Queen of Ambition) starring Su Ae and Kwon Sang Woo, but the network is getting my interest up for the follow up drama which sounds all sorts of strange and far out. Despite the recent sageuk mediocrity I’ve still a fondness for the genre and the … Continue reading →

Flower Boy Next Door Episode 5 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 22, 2013

Flower Boy Next Door continues to be so lovely in its simplicity. There isn’t a lot of story, there is really very little conflict, and in general the story revolves around a group of people going about their day. It ought to be boring but it isn’t. There little details and delicate touches fascinate me. I’m not crazy about this … Continue reading →

Mnet Releases Entertaining Look at Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye Filming So Ji Sub Rap MV

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 21, 2013

Craaaaack. The upcoming rap MV for So Ji Sub starring Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye is going to be a reduced form of drama crack. Mnet released part 2 of its behind-the-scenes look at the filming for the MV and I’m already quivering with excitement to see the end product. Glimpses of Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 14 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2013

The last 5 minutes of episode 14 of Cheongdamdong Alice was the best plot development to happen in this drama for the past 6 episodes. It was also what should have happened like 5 episodes ago, which continues to grate that so much time was wasted on pointless filler tension. The entire last 5 episodes was all about keeping the … Continue reading →

Lee Sang Yeob and Hyun Woo Prepping for Drama Returns in March

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2013

Come to me, my beautiful hilarious boys! I feel like my love for Hyun Woo and Lee Sang Yeob courtesy of spending 160 episodes with them in I Live in Cheongdamdong gives me the added boon of saying that I saw them first before y’all so they are my precioussssssses. Hahahahaha….*hack hack hack* Okay, the evil genius laugh is very … Continue reading →

Kim Ji Hoon Goes Camping Solo for Sure Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2013

I thought I would have a mad case of the second lead shakes in Flower Boy Next Door due to my love for Kim Ji Hoon but that hasn’t materialized. I usually ship characters based on narrative and this time is no different. Yoon Si Yoon‘s character of Enrique Geum is just too precious for words, already showing us that … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 13 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2013

I’ve officially given up on Cheongdamdong Alice, though I’ll probably recap to the end since it’s almost done. Episode 13 confirmed for me that this drama has completely lost its marbles and I’m going to have to approach it like its some delusional fantasy rom-com otherwise I’ll go crazy. At this point I’m shipping Se Kyung with Tommy. I’m not joking … Continue reading →

Additional Lovely Pictures of Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won for The King 2 Hearts Japan Promotion

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2013

Guh, every time I see Lee Seung Gi with Ha Ji Won my heart gets stuck in my throat and I have this urge to start babbling like an idiot. I still love The King 2 Hearts so so much, far and away my favoritest drama of 2012. I thought I’d seen and found all there was involving this drama … Continue reading →
