Character Descriptions for the Leads of Lie to Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 1, 2011 by ockoalaMay 2, 2011

I can’t believe we have another week before Lie to Me premieres. I am so ready for this drama. I’ve translated the character descriptions for the main four leads. Frankly, everything reads so simplistic, predictable, and trite (with elements of every single rom-com in existence). YET, I cannot wait to watch it. I think this drama will live and die … Continue reading →

Basic House Korea and China Summer 2011 Ads for Won Bin and Moon Geun Young

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 1, 2011 by ockoalaMay 1, 2011

I decree that one can’t possibly welcome Summer without the requisite Moon Geun Young photoshoot for Basic House. Bringing you the latest pictures with Won Bin for BH Korea, and also her latest solo pictures for BH China. You know, if I were to critically analyze Geun Young, she really just looks like an older version of her child actor … Continue reading →

Kim So Eun and Jung Il Woo for 10 Asia

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 1, 2011 by ockoalaMay 1, 2011

These two are absolutely precious together. Jung Il Woo and Kim So Eun, who have been photographed together frequently in recent days after they were selected to represent JIFF (Jeonju International Film Festival), gave a joint interview to 10 Asia this week. Accompanying the interview are these lovely pictures, which are just elegant and effortless.

Mike He and Janine Chang Reunite for the Armani Collezione Summer 2011 Campaign

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 30, 2011 by ockoalaApril 29, 2011

I have to admit that as much as I adored Mike He and Janine Chang in Sunny Happiness (one of the best OTPs ever, with incredibly rich co-star chemistry), I don’t actually ship them in real life, nor am I fixated on their characters and unable to move on. But that doesn’t mean I’m not all wistful again whenever I see … Continue reading →

Joe Cheng Makes Hello Kitty Look Fun and Fierce for 7-Eleven

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 30, 2011 by ockoalaApril 29, 2011

Do my eyes deceive me? *rubs eyes* Nope, that is in fact Joe Cheng posing for…..Hello Kitty. I suppose stranger things have happened, but once I got over my extreme shock at the incongruity of it all, I suppose two of my favorites together is always a good thing. It actually wasn’t just Joe – he was paired with Sonia … Continue reading →

Yamapi Hits the Thailand Stop of his 2011 Solo Asia Tour

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 30, 2011 by ockoalaApril 29, 2011

I’m like a chipmunk, I can be busy doing someone important, but the second I sniff one of my obsessions, I immediately drop proper work like a hot potato and toddle off to happily waste time. Which was how I ended up spending an entire night happily watching Yamapi MVs and missing the Akira-incarnation of Pi like mad. Pi was … Continue reading →

Absolute Darling Commences Filming with Jiro Wang as the Likely Lead

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

I’m curious as to why GTV is so secretive about confirming the news, but long-in-development TW-drama Absolute Darling started filming yesterday, according to various Weibo updates from actors working on the drama. Lead actress Gu Hye Sun has been in Taiwan since last week, which further confirms the news. As for which actor is stepping in for departed Wu Zun? … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 3 of Drunken to Love You

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

I’m clearly not the only one worried that TTV is releasing extremely detailed written previews for Drunken to Love You. Some folks wonder if this will affect the ratings, which I think highly unlikely. Anyone desperate enough to scrounge for a written preview will probably watch the episode. My worry is how knowing so much of what will happen will … Continue reading →

Long Preview of Best Love Shown at Press Conference

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

MBC presented a nine-minute preview for Best Love at yesterday’s press conference, and I’m here to bring it to you. A fair word of warning – please don’t watch if knowing too much tends to ruin the enjoyment once the episode proper airs. I think this drama has a potential to be brilliant, but the 9 minute preview is very … Continue reading →

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 →

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 →
