As a dog mom and a lover of rom-coms I’m feeling more and more excited for upcoming KBS drama A Good Day to be a Dog.

Young woman with short black hair smiling.

I feel old lol but also fairly okay with things that used to bother me, and one would be a star I loved just kinda dimming in career and projects. Turns out people can choose or even allow things to happen and hopefully being in a good spot at the end is all that matters. Former top actress Yoon Eun … Continue reading →

Zhao Li Ying Considering Next Project as Another C-drama in Female Lead Driven Tearless Snow

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2023 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2023
Woman in black dress holds red object.

So the rumor is that Zhao Li Ying is definitely A-list but is capped by her not being theater trained. So called “Ke Ban” which means a graduate of an arts academy or acting major, hence she has not been able to break into the more prestigious C-movies. If that’s true what a shame because she’s got major talent and … Continue reading →

I found C-actress Dilraba Dilmurat one of the best dressed gown and hair whole package Asian stars so far to descend in Paris for the Fall 2023 fashion shows. She was invited by Christian Dior and really matched well with the brands couture and aura. But a new wrinkle came from her attendance after the invitation went public and it … Continue reading →

Two women posing in stylish outfits.

Social norms are different in various cultures and this is one landmine that two C-actresses stepped in themselves rather stupidly. Blackpink member Lisa has been all over the pop news this week for doing a guest show at the famed cabaret show Crazy Horse Paris, which does strip tease and burlesque dancing shows that are well known and accepted with … Continue reading →

Zhao Lu Si’s Agency Desperately Trying to Confirm Liu Yu Ning for C-drama Pearl Curtain Jade Curtain as Her Own Fandom Tries to Tank the Casting

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 1, 2023 by ockoalaOctober 1, 2023
Artistic landscape with traditional Chinese architecture.

This is a form of self-sabotage so bad it might set a new standard for self-absorbed cluelessness. I’m talking about C-actress Zhao Lu Si‘s fandom, and I really love this actress but her die-hard fandom is toxic and woefully self-congratulating. She finished filming xianxia drama The Last Immortal earlier this year and for the last 6 months has been waiting … Continue reading →

Fashionable women at a stylish event.

Climbing the fame ladder is a tricky thing and there are rarely leaps that go from unknown to top star in one jump. Most people climb it lock step and one moment is that weird in-between famous enough and not top level famous yet. Fashion is adjacent to acting so when a star gets famous enough there is usually fashion … Continue reading →
