Written Preview for Episode 14 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 24, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 24, 2012

Watching episode 13 of Nice Guy was such a draining process. Seeing how much Maru loves Eun Gi makes me weep, and seeing how Eun Gi is toggling between regaining painful memories and her current helplessness makes me unsure what I would prefer. Would it be best for her to start over now and never try to regain her memories? … Continue reading →

Han Hyo Joo Brings Classy Warmth to the Pages of Instyle Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 24, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 24, 2012

It’s safe to say that pretty much everything Han Hyo Joo touches turns to gold for her. She burst onto the scene at a young age landing the coveted leading lady role in Seasons drama PD Yoon Seok Ho‘s Spring Waltz, which was gorgeous to look at but the story was terrible and poor Han Hyo Joo dressed like the … Continue reading →

Choi Kang Hee Confirmed for Secret Lovers while Kang Ji Hwan Uncertain in His Drama Return

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 24, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 23, 2012

Despite the general hue and cry over Choi Kang Hee potentially being cast opposite a ten-year younger Joo Won in Secret Lovers (The Secret Agent Wars), she has in fact been confirmed now for the role. She’s been a rather harmless actress for me up until she did Protect the Boss, where I found her performance effortlessly winning. I loved … Continue reading →

Swoony New Preview for Episode 14 of Miss Rose

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 23, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 23, 2012

Looks like I’m not the only one going bonkers waiting for episode 14 of Miss Rose to drop since the preview showing an imminent and long overdue kiss between the OTP. Episode 13 recap will be late this week since I’ve got other more pressing real life obligations, but hopefully this will satiate all the MR fans who has faith … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 13 and Spoilers for Episode 14 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 23, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 23, 2012

With eight more episodes to go, I just have to remind Nice Guy to stay awesome and don’t go cray cray on me. Not that I have any indication it will, but I’ve been burned so many times I just want to say an extra prayer that Lee Kyung Hee has indeed mapped out her entire story and is merely … Continue reading →

Love Before with Tiffany Hsu and Chris Wang Release Sweet Funny Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 23, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 22, 2012

I really shouldn’t have a problem with the popular pairing of Annie Chen and Chris Wang splitting up onscreen to pair with new actors in their respective upcoming TW-dramas. With that said, its impossible not to watch the trailer for Annie and George Hu‘s Love, Now followed by Chris and Tiffany Hsu‘s Love Before, and not feel like Ke Wei … Continue reading →

Jae Hee Drops Bombshell News of His Secret Marriage and One Year Old Son

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 22, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 22, 2012

When Jae Hee got out of the military two years ago, he was one of the few actors to not take on an acting gig straightaway, and in fact it was over a year later than he chose to return to acting through the cable drama Color of Woman. Folks were wondering why he was so quiet and out-of-the-limelight, and … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 13 of Nice Guy and Loads of Adorable BTS Pictures

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 22, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 22, 2012

I’m so obsessed with Nice Guy its not even funny. Since I started blogging there hasn’t been a single melodrama or even thriller that captivated me like this. I usually fall for rom-coms for whatever reason, but if I look back at my top-10 list and the like, it’s actually the darker denser dramas that I end up loving the … Continue reading →

Yoo Seung Ho Reportedly Signs on as the Second Male Lead in Missing You

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 21, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 22, 2012

Drama Llama say whut??!? One of the biggest question marks in K-drama land recently is the question of who is the second male lead in the upcoming MBC drama Missing You. The drama is less than two weeks away from its premiere, and the original second male lead it courted in Chun Jung Myung turned the drama down in no … Continue reading →

Ishihara Satomi Joins Matsumoto Jun and Eita in Filming the Lucky 7 SP

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 21, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 21, 2012

I wonder who thought of the brilliant idea to cast Ishihara Satomi, who just wrapped up the J-dorama Rich Man, Poor Woman with Oguri Shun, in the upcoming Lucky 7 SP co-starring with Matsumoto Jun. Seriously? I didn’t make this shiz up! Somewhere Inou Mao is screaming no fair and yelling “hey, that’s MY exclusive territory to toggle between these … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 14 of Miss Rose

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 21, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 23, 2012

Ah Miss Rose, still so sweet and satisfying. Episode 13 was a dense dense episode full of office politics, dueling resignation letters, and plenty of parental interference from all sides. Both Mommy Gao and the Luo parents get involved in the complicated love triangle between Si Yi, Cheng Kuan, and Vivian, though really it’s more like one guy choosing between … Continue reading →
