Mike He Returns to TW-dramas with Onsen Beauty Co-starring Rookie Cutie Da Yuan

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 31, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2012

Two Mike He‘s for the price of one? I’ll take that…..only if the drama is actually any good. If its dreck like Love Keeps Going, I’ll toss both Mikes back into the ocean in a heartbeat. Since doing LKG last Spring, Mike has done a family-themed C-drama that is currently airing in China and getting solid ratings, but its dubbed … Continue reading →

Missing You Reveals Official Stills of Leading Man Yoochun

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2012

As Missing You gears up for its premiere next week and its press conference this week, expect tons of stills and likely more teasers to whet our appetite. It’s actually rather late for a drama to be dropping official stills of its adult cast but this one has a rather long childhood portion so the adults aren’t showing up for … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 15 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2012

Sang Yeob phone home, Sang Yeob phone home. You can call noona anytime, baby cheeks! I’m woefully negligent of Lee Sang Yeob’s sweet and effective turn as lawyer Park Joon Ha in Nice Guy, prolly because he’s so decent and doesn’t have a Noah’s Arc full of issues the way Maru, Eun Gi, Jae Hee, and even lawyer Ahn all … Continue reading →

Picture Spoilers for Episode 15 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2012

I swear the wait between last week’s Nice Guy and any news about upcoming episodes felt interminable. I actually had a marvelous weekend, but it felt strangely long likely due to not having any inkling of what’s to come on my beloved NG. Will Eun Gi be able to run Tae San Group? Will Jae Hee try to seduce Maru … Continue reading →

MBC Courting Moon Geun Young for Lead in 2013 Sageuk Goddess of Fire

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2012

Moon Geun Young might have to check into Over-worked Korean Actors Anonymous if this bit of casting news turns out to be true (Joo Won has a permanent bed at that joint from what I gather). She’s currently filming the SBS weekend drama Cheongdamdong Alice co-starring Park Shi Hoo, Kim Ji Seok, and So Yi Hyun which will premiere December … Continue reading →

First Official Stills of Yoo Seung Ho in Missing You

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2012

What is Missing You trying to do with my baby boy? Is the drama trying to make me love him even more, because that won’t be necessary. I love him enough as is even though I preferred his goat best friend to him in Arang and the Magistrate. The first official stills have just been released of Yoo Seung Ho playing … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi and Park Shin Hye Host the K-pop Collection Concert in Okinawa

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 29, 2012

This is such a precious pairing I hope the drama gods make it happen one day. Park Shin Hye and Lee Seung Gi hosted the K-pop Collection concert in Okinawa, Japan this past weekend, and I swear I almost got blinded by the combination sexy and cute. I don’t know how both actors pull it off, but they are simultaneously … Continue reading →

King of Dramas Releases Teaser with a Park Shin Hye Cameo Appearance

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 28, 2012

I actually watched the teaser for King of Dramas, the upcoming SBS drama to follow Faith, earlier this week but just haven’t gotten around to posting about it until now. Starring Kim Myung Min, Jung Ryeo Won, Choi Si Won, and Oh Ji Eun, this is the only upcoming weekday drama that I’m totally looking forward to. Too bad it’s … Continue reading →

Teaser MV for New Kim Jong Kook Single Starring Song Joong Ki

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 28, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 28, 2012

It’s not just my overeager imagination that Song Joong Ki appears to be everywhere, right? He’s on television with Nice Guy (The Innocent Man), he’s on the big screen with The Werewolf Boy, he’s all over the news doing media promotions for both, and he’s all over my blog as the trying-to-be-bad-yet-innately-good Kang Maru in NG. It’s time to add … Continue reading →

Awesome has a new buddy and its name is Miss Rose episode 14. Boo yah, this episode was absolutely terrific! I laughed at the cute, swooned over the sweet, and nodded over the sincere and frank discussions of living the easy life version living the life one has to work to achieve.

HongShi Shippers Rejoice as Yuan Hong and Liu Shi Shi Hold Hands and Walk the Elle Red Carpet

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 28, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 27, 2012

While 4 and 8 were duking it out for the beauty and the Qing empire, somewhere off to the side 13 was chuckling as he murmured “sorry bros, I’ve already got the girl.” I can always (ALWAYS) count on Yuan Hong and Liu Shi Shi to give HongShi shippers the world over some truly gaspworthy public cute moments at least … Continue reading →
