Vic Zhou and Vivian Hsu’s Upcoming Movie Cohabiting with Fashion Releases First Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 29, 2011 by ockoalaApril 29, 2011

Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) is currently in Beijing filming a modern TW/C collaboration movie called Cohabiting with Fashion, co-starring Vivian Hsu and HK-actor Alan Tam. Zai Zai plays a white collar employee of a fashion company, and Vivian is a typical hard-working average girl. The movie supposedly depicts how modern young people work hard to make their dreams come true, … Continue reading →

George Hu’s Management Company Confirms a June Premiere Date for Hayate the Combat Butler

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 28, 2011 by ockoalaApril 28, 2011

I think this might be it – after multiple potential airing dates associated with the completed TW-drama Hayate the Combat Butler, yesterday lead actor George Hu‘s management company Polyland posted on its Weibo a picture of George in the recording studio doing voice work for Hayate (see picture below), with the accompanying caption that Hayate is scheduled to air on GTV … Continue reading →

49 Days Episode 14 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 28, 2011 by ockoalaApril 28, 2011

*Wild incoherent shrieks of joy* This episode was so good, I think I shed a tear or two like a proud mother watching her formerly tone deaf son sing a song in perfect pitch after watching him get progressively better and better each week. Wow, just wow. 49 Days has officially become the shiz-niz and I dunno what to do … Continue reading →

Best Love Releases Third Trailer and Holds Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 28, 2011 by ockoalaApril 28, 2011

It’s here! Okay, more like it’s coming in one week, and we get a sneak peak today! The cast of Best Love held its press conference today and my see-sawing heart took another giant somersault of joy when I saw them all together. I might as well tell you all now – I am only planning to recap one drama … Continue reading →

Baby-Faced Beauty Holds Press Conference and Releases Episode 1 Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 28, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2011

Next week two May dramas are premiering, and the first to arrive will be Baby-faced Beauty for KBS on Monday. The cast attended the customary press conference, and Jang Nara stood out like a spring flower with her oh-my-eyes-so-bright pink dress. Which frankly looks cute on her and probably no one else on this planet. But her hair, which I … Continue reading →

Drunken to Love You Releases Another Preview for Episode 3

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 28, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2011

Drunken to Love You released another (shorter but different scenes) preview for episode 3. I’ve embedded both previews below, so enjoy the cute. I’m a little exasperated because my very nice request at the beginning of my episode 2 recap for people to stop lifting my DTLY stuff wholesale went unheeded.  I didn’t want to have to do this, but … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 14 of 49 Days

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 27, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2011

Episode 13 of 49 Days ended without any preview, but luckily SBS released it shortly thereafter. It’s a very juicy one, with an ending that made me squeal with anticipation for hopefully another game-changer in sight. You know, I was really curious about Yi Kyung’s backstory for the longest time, mostly because I didn’t much like Ji Hyun or Nam … Continue reading →

49 Days Episode 13 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 27, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2011

This was a crazy week in dramalandia, with the influx of pre-premiere goodies for a bevy of May dramas dropping from the sky like a passing tropical storm. It made me put 49 Days by the wayside, but it was not out of sight, out of mind. While I don’t feel the compulsion to write reams about this drama, during … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 14 of 49 Days

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 27, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2011

49 Days has a lot of mystery, but it’s not really the tense or spooky kind that makes me anxious. I find myself okay either way – if Ji Hyun gets her 3 tears or not – because I think either ending could be validated for me and make me feel like the journey taken by our protagonists was meaningful … Continue reading →

Yoo Ah In and Kim Sa Rang Pair Up for LG Optimus Black Ad Campaign

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 27, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2011

Hhhmmm, this is rather odd. Not odd in a bad way, but odd in a “I’ve never thought of putting them together” way, kinda like pickles and chocolate ice-cream. LG has selected Kim Sa Rang and Yoo Ah In for their latest cell phone ad campaign (the Optimus Black – which I keep reading as the Optimus Prime), and I just … Continue reading →

City Hunter and Lie to Me Release New Romantic OTP Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 26, 2011 by ockoalaApril 26, 2011

There can no be other way to describe today other than it was the Fat Tuesday of K-dramas. Laissez le bon temps rouler! I have never posted as many posts in one day as I did today, and it was well worth the insanity. When I saw these new official stills from Lie to Me and City Hunter (SBS is definitely on … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Seok Attend Mary Stayed Out All Night Press Conference for TBS Japan

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 26, 2011 by ockoalaApril 26, 2011

I just want to squish these two into one cuddly fluffy ball of love. You would think a few months away from my insane love for Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young in Mary Stayed Out All Night (reckon I didn’t say I loved said drama) I’d be all less crazy about them, but er, no, they are still … Continue reading →

Video Preview for 49 Days Episode 13

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 26, 2011 by ockoalaApril 26, 2011

Help me. Too many dramas goodies + too little time = zero ability to synthesize information anymore. My brain has reached maximum drama influx capability. I think the preview for 49 Days episode 13 is good, but I can’t seem to find the words to express my thoughts. Go watch and see what’s coming tomorrow.
