A Koala's Playground Posted on April 5, 2023 by ockoalaApril 6, 2023
Smiling man and woman in cozy sweaters.

I feel like all of K-netizens grievances have been laid out about how they are sooooo disappointed in singer-actor-host Lee Seung Gi marrying actress Lee Da In, so I hope on their wedding day tomorrow April 7th the online commentary can at least not spend too much time rehashing it. The Nation’s Son-in-Law is actually getting married as the South … Continue reading →

Heroic figure wielding a staff in traditional attire.

I don’t know why there has been no official trailer for xianxia period C-drama Till the End of the Moon until now like 3 days before the premiere. Better now than never and whether this drama is any good will be known soon and I know lots of C-drama fans are clamoring for a gripping dog blood-esque xianxia drama with … Continue reading →

Dispatch Catches Kim Sae Ron Playing Texas Hold’Em Poker at Gangnam Club

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 4, 2023 by ockoalaApril 4, 2023
Person with closed eyes resting hands on face.

Is K-actress Kim Sae Ron a private citizen now after her arrest and fall from grace post drunk driving scandal last year? Not yet since she has not announced her retirement, hence as a public figure she’s still clearly media worthy to report on and tabloid Dispatch appears ready to slay her any chance it gets. It’s not hard though … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 4, 2023 by ockoalaApril 4, 2023
Couple sharing a romantic kiss in bed.

I remember when these images first leaked last year from the filming of modern sports romance C-drama Nothing But You that everyone myself included was like ooooooh sexy! It still is sexy but in the context of the drama after watching the first few episodes it feels like the production is trying a tad too hard to drum up excitement … Continue reading →

Movie Star Honey Lee Plots with Besotted Fan Gong Myung to Off Rich Husband Lee Seon Kyun in Trailer for Absurdist Movie Killing Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 3, 2023 by ockoalaApril 4, 2023
Artistic movie poster featuring dramatic characters.

I feel like this movie could be one long joke dragged out for 2 hours until the punch line, but then again Extreme Jobs with Honey Lee and Gong Myung in their first movie together sounded the same on paper but was incredibly engaging and hilarious. Upcoming Killing Romance is really a three person and three act type of comedic … Continue reading →

Smiling doctor wearing a white lab coat.

I still remember being hooked on K-drama medicals in the late aughts but then the genre just fell off my radar not for being bad but likely due to proliferation. The upcoming SBS drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3 (Dr. Romantic) will be the first medical K-drama to go three seasons, though it was a different supporting cast in the … Continue reading →

Woman in white shirt and black tie.

If this was happening between the two leads of an upcoming drama of opposite genders then fans would think this was real life “some” unfolding before our eyes. But instead its the dual female leads of the upcoming thriller drama The Price of Confession with Song Hye Kyo and Han So Hee putting on what feels like genuine excitement to … Continue reading →

Sports Romance C-drama Nothing But You with Wu Lei and Zhou Yu Tong Sets a Steady and Mostly Unexciting Course

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 2, 2023 by ockoalaApril 3, 2023
Couple smiling near a heart-shaped display.

So last week was the premiere of modern sports romance drama Nothing But You (Chinese title Love Only) and honestly it was totally uneventful. Neither good or bad, it just was, and if it wasn’t for male lead Wu Lei I would have no reason to keep watching. Half of the drama continues the distractingly sanitized professional and personal look … Continue reading →

Inches don’t lie and the recently revealed real life dating relationship between K-stars Lee Do Hyun and Lim Ji Yeon was clearly not being kept under wraps that hard.
