A Koala's Playground Posted on March 27, 2011 by ockoalaMarch 27, 2011

The bad news is that all those buckets of tears Fahrenheit fangirls cried a few months ago when news broke that Wu Zun was leaving the group looks to be for naught. The good news is that Wu Zun is not leaving Fahrenheit and the group continues its activities. I think the tears would rather be pointlessly sacrificed in this … Continue reading →

Recently Mike He, who just wrapped the drama Mei Le, Go co-starring Cyndi Wang, was asked about the steamy wedding night kissing scene he filmed with Janine Chang in Sunny Happiness.

Jung Joon Ho got married yesterday to Lee Ha Jung (congrats and felicitations on a life long happy marriage!), but the only thing going through my mind was the sudden and totally unexpected attendance at the wedding of a certain dude currently in military service. No, it’s not Hyun Bin, but the man who was shipped off DURING the filming of … Continue reading →

Yoo Ah In (one of my favorite young actors) in London (one of my favorite cities) = a match made in Koala heaven. I would give my right kidney to hang out with Yoo Ah In in London and go pub crawling and get drunk and mock the Beefeaters at the Tower.

So Ridiculously Cute! I think I about laughed myself to death with this first preview of Drunken to Love You. It looks beyond stupid, yet I’m charmed by its earnestly good-natured spirit. Rainie Yang looks to continue her wow-the-Koala-campaign and is just thumbing her nose at me for not liking her until recently. And Joseph Chang, who is not conventionally … Continue reading →

I’m confused, when did Ming Dao suddenly become producer-writer Yu Zheng (the man behind this Season’s ratings hit time-travel historical drama Jade Palace Lock Heart) best friend and go-to main lead? First news broke that JPLH is going to have a movie sequel, which somehow wouldn’t focus on the drama OTP but instead have Ming Dao playing the lead general. … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 24, 2011 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2011
Stylish header for a drama blog.

It looks like 49 Days might take the crown from City Hall as the drama which takes the longest time to get going. And if 49 Days takes off like City Hall did, then I forgive all the earlier mishaps, oh yes I will. Four episodes into 49 Days, and I’m only starting to get curious about the story and finding … Continue reading →
