Funny Supermarket Stills and Second Teaser Trailer for A Gentleman’s Dignity

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 13, 2012 by ockoalaMay 13, 2012

Hhhhmm, I never thought the picture of four men going grocery shopping could get me this excited. But apparently A Gentleman’s Dignity knew something about my id that I didn’t even know. AGD released new stills that show Jang Dong Gun, Kim Min Jong, Lee Jong Hyuk, and Kim Soo Ro pushing shopping carts around a supermarket as well as … Continue reading →

Additional Official Stills from Episodes 15-16 of The King 2 Hearts

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 13, 2012 by ockoalaMay 12, 2012

It’s no secret I love The King 2 Hearts with all my heart, which perhaps explains why I’ve got no interest in starting other dramas until this baby ends. There are plenty I’m interested in, but the impetus to push play keeps eluding me despite queuing it up now and then. The spoilers have been nonexistent for next week’s episodes, … Continue reading →

Roy Qiu Rumored as the Leading Man in Upcoming SETTV Sunday Night Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 13, 2012 by ockoalaMay 13, 2012

FINALLY! After laying low for a few months racing cars, endorsing products, and maybe dating Tang Yan, word all over the TW-entertainment industry is that Roy Qiu is coming back with a TW-drama this Summer. Woo hoo! Of course its an SETTV drama, despite him having fulfilled his three project commitment to them (Woody Sambo, Easy Fortune Happy Life, and … Continue reading →

Chun Jung Myung Films C-drama with Ivy Chen in Dalian China

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2012 by ockoalaMay 12, 2012

At this point, the Korean actors exodus over to making dramas in other parts of Asia should be considered a biblical flood. There are so many and all over the place I can barely keep track. Just as Yoon Si Yoon landed in China this week to start filming his Happy Noodle drama with Li Fei Er, I find out … Continue reading →

Time Slip Dr. Jin Releases First Teaser Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2012 by ockoalaMay 12, 2012

The first teaser trailer is out for Time Slip Dr. Jin. It’s too fast and short to get much out of it – a bit hokey, but not flat out dreadful (so far). I dunno what to think, I think it wants to be more Queen In Hyun’s Man but might end up more Rooftop Prince. I laughed so hard … Continue reading →

Runway Cop Releases Second Trailer and Additional Character Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2012 by ockoalaMay 11, 2012

Putting aside the LOL-tastic press conference for Runway Cop starring Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri, this movie still looks equal parts silly and adorable. I like having the man lose the weight and undergo a makeover for a change, plus once he turns into a male model physique-wise he’s still a dorky cop on the inside. I don’t have … Continue reading →

Tong Hua Writes Heartfelt Open Letters to her Two Male Leads in Yun Zhong Ge

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 11, 2012 by ockoalaMay 11, 2012

I’ve had Tong Hua’s letters to her two Yun Zhong Ge male leads translated and prepared for over 2 months now, but I’ve been reluctant to post because it gives away the ending of the novel. It gives away how most of the characters end up, though in truth it gives away very little at all since what makes YZG … Continue reading →

More Stills of the Various Leads of Time Slip Dr. Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 11, 2012 by ockoalaMay 11, 2012

While its direct competition A Gentleman’s Dignity just released its first teaser trailer, it feels like Time Slip Dr. Jin just started filming. With less than three weeks left until its premiere, the drama about a modern day surgeon who time travels back to the late Joseon era to practice his craft in less ideal circumstances interests me only because I love Song Seung Heon and Lee … Continue reading →

Big Releases Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo Date Pictures and Other Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2012 by ockoalaMay 11, 2012

Okay, the number of potential crack K-drama is actually expanding exponentially. My list went from 1 to 2, and then overnight from 2 to 4. What is this, did anyone feed the Gremlins after midnight? I was iffy on Big after seeing just the individual stills of Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo, but like an overeager puppy, the second … Continue reading →

The King 2 Hearts Episode 16 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2012 by ockoalaMay 10, 2012

Oh oh oh, I can’t breathe. To think that the last few episodes, with bombs and selection draws and engagement on the line stakes, was actually a breather before the shit really hit the fan. This episode left me flailing on the floor gasping “no, no, noooooo” all the while watching Jae Ha pretty much take an emotional train to … Continue reading →

I Need Romance 2 Releases First Stills from the Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2012 by ockoalaMay 10, 2012

I’m so onboard with I Need Romance 2 its not even funny. Despite the abysmal track record of K-dramas with sequels (Dream High 2 anyone?), I think this will work because its merely taking the same modern dating concepts with a new cast and new love lines. I would prefer is Lee Jin Wook‘s boyfriend character wasn’t a cheating cheater … Continue reading →

Fantastic First Teaser and More Stills from A Gentleman’s Dignity

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 9, 2012 by ockoalaMay 9, 2012

Damn you, Kim Eun Sook! *Shakes fists* How dare you make me want you again, you heartless scribe! After my excruciating experience with Secret Garden (where I went from rabid with want before it even aired and took a straight shot to hell with that drama by the end), I was so ready to write this lady off despite her … Continue reading →

The King 2 Hearts Episode 15 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 9, 2012 by ockoalaMay 10, 2012

I understand that the WOC arc in The King 2 Hearts may be a bit rough to keep our interest, and much too elementary to pose any genuine thrills. The Avengers would be the same old soulless smashing of villains akin to a Transformers type big budget circus if we didn’t care about the characters, but because Marvel spent years … Continue reading →
