A Koala's Playground Posted on October 19, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 19, 2021
Black and white portrait of two actors.

The promos for this drama reminds me of Memento. Everything starts from the end, or is the end the beginning and the it begins anew? I don’t know, but either way the breaking up part seems to be all SBS is leaning in on for the teasers and posters for upcoming romance drama Now, We are Breaking up. The two … Continue reading →

The ascension of rising K-actor Wi Ha Joon has begun after his breakout role in hit Netflix drama Squid Game, and also a very good impression in his last role in a supporting capacity for 18 Again.

Salt Entertainment Makes Statement Nearly 24 Hours After Kim Sun Ho Scandal Breaks and Still Checking on Veracity, 11th Street, Nau, and La Roche Posay Delete Him From Official Instas, and Costars Cancel Scheduled Hometown Cha Cha Cha Interviews

A burgeoning scandal is like a fire. It can die on its own if it’s small and has no tinder (truth and/or coverage), but if it has legs behind it then the only way to stave off burning the house down is to fight it properly with water (i.e. a response and follow ups). The exploded within the past 24-hours … Continue reading →

Dominos Korea, Canon, and Foodbucket Delete Spokesperson Kim Sun Ho’s CFs From Official Instagram Accounts, K-netizens Discuss How Both Winners of the 2021 Baeksang Popularity Award Ended Up with Relationship Bad Behavior Scandals

It feels fast turning into a runaway train situation with the allegations by a young woman and that certain Actor K behaved rather abominably when he dated, got her pregnant, convinced her to get an abortion, and then dumped her, if the allegations are true of course. She did not name names but dropped enough hints that K-netizens and K-ent … Continue reading →

Welp, where to start. This Monday started off K-ent with an explosive post on Nate by an Female A accusing a recently gotten super popular K-actor of being a really shitty human being and now ex-boyfriend.

Yumi’s Cells Challenges Yumi to New Behaviors and Revives Old Dreams in Episodes 9-10 as the Relationship with Woong Balances Between Sweet and Precarious

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 17, 2021
Playful park date and workplace glances

When I watch Yumi’s Cells I enjoy nearly all of it, but when there are no new episodes I’m not anxiously waiting. I guess it mirrors Yumi’s overall mentality, she puts her all into her life (work, love) but with the things not there she’s not fretting about it. Episodes 9-10 were this past weekend and it wasn’t the relationship … Continue reading →

jTBC Releases Softly Lit Evocative Teaser Preview for Snowdrop with Jung Hae In and Jisoo

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 17, 2021
Couple dancing in a dimly lit restaurant.

It takes two to tango but why do I get the sense that jTBC is showcasing one lead more than the other, and perhaps not for the reasons of favortism. The first teaser preview is out for upcoming period romance Snowdrop and it’s as softly lit and focusing more on mood as expected. I see so much more on male … Continue reading →

It’s an impressive feat that tvN drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha is currently sitting at number 2 in 2021 ratings for the Sat-Sun timeslot for the network, behind Vincenzo, though Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) isn’t counted as a 2021 drama since it premiered in 2020. It’s last few episodes have been in the 9%-10% ratings with the highest being two … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 16, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 16, 2021
Fashion model in elegant white attire.

My first thought was – did Vogue Korea scramble to shoot and re-shuffle the cover model for it’s November 2021 edition or was it just serendipitous timing that the cover star just had the fastest meteoric rise as a rookie actress I’ve ever seen in K-ent. Model and now actress Jung Ho Yeon is in three different and all striking … Continue reading →
