A Koala's Playground Posted on October 14, 2019 by ockoalaOctober 14, 2019
Young man enjoying a pint of Guinness.

I have eyes, it works pretty well I would say, and when I see TW-actor and variety star Wu Zun it think this man has not aged a lick. He debuted 15 years ago at 25 and this year he turns 40, and with it he shared some new SNS pictures that look like a 20-something living a fun life. … Continue reading →

It’s undeniable that Kim Soo Hyun picked a perfect way to return to acting post-military, whether it was calculated or genuinely a supportive friend thing to do for both leads. His 10-second cameo at the very end of Hotel Del Luna stole a lot of thunder, confirming that he’s a movie star on top of being an actor with skills. … Continue reading →

Vagabond Barrels Ahead in its Mirthless Marathon as Action Moves Back to Morocco to Find the Undead Pilot

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 13, 2019 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2019
Two people talking in cozy winter attire.

I…..I wish Vagabond was straight up good. Good and enjoyable rather than good and exhausting, which is good with an asterisk and we all know that’s what will follow a project when all is said and done. SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond aired up to episode 8 this weekend, halfway done now and perhaps halfway into uncovering the conspiracy that caused … Continue reading →

Group photo with people forming a heart shape.

Remember this bromance pose and picture above, when actors Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook were promoting their hit fantasy romance drama Goblin. Imma not going to lie, I loved the drama but didn’t love the OTP chemistry or story line, but loved the frenemy and bromance chemistry and story line of the male leads. The two leads have since … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2019 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2019
People training with punching bags indoors.

It’s good and bad that Janine Chang‘s name has been all over the news the past month, and linked to two actors that she’s either supposedly dating or is pursuing her. She’s brushed it all off, jetting to Paris for a week of fashion shows and now back in Taipei looking fit and fabulous at the opening of a high … Continue reading →

Park Seo Joon Goes Extreme Hair Crop and Signs on for New Movie with Director of Mega Hit Extreme Job

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2019 by ockoalaOctober 11, 2019
Young man in a dark suit, serious expression.

I am so mesmerized by Park Seo Joon‘s head thanks to his new hair cut it’s hard to look away. I can’t tell if it’s because it makes his head look too tiny for his body or how extreme egg shaped it it, but this is a total no bueno no mas look for him to avoid ever again. Luckily … Continue reading →

Four attendees posing at a press event

After working in two popular noona romances, Jung Hae In gets a younger leading lady next with Chae Soo Bin as the two are confirmed for tvN drama Half of a Half. That would be a quarter, LOL, but the punny title describes the romance between the male lead who is a successful head and programmer for an AI company … Continue reading →

The trainwreck divorce proceedings between Gu Hye Sun and Ahn Jae Hyun continues unabated, clearly she didn’t hear my pleading in my last post to stop airing her grievances in public.

Fashionable individual posing for photographers outdoors.

Paris Fashion Week has been in full swing for, well, a week already and there are plenty of interesting looks both on the catwalk and in attendance. I particularly liked TW-actress and singer Rainie Yang and a relative newbie to the Paris scene in rising C-actress Shen Yue. What was winning wasn’t their outfits, frankly Rainie’s is a tad too … Continue reading →

Woman in elegant black dress by water.

C-netizens have been scrutinizing Angelababy for the last decade ever since she debuted so it’s nothing she’s not used to. Recent issues with her is more PS so she looks rather Thai beauty in features and of course her maybe divorce to actor Huang Xiaoming. If she did get more PS whatever floats her boat and if she is divorced … Continue reading →

Young couple in traditional clothing, interacting.

Gosh darn it, I just love KBS Mon-Tues drama The Tale of Nokdu. It continues to live up to the fun and beautiful promos from last month, arriving to inject me with a critically needed dose of cute and sassy with leads Kim So Hyun and Jang Dong Yoon. The ratings remain in the 6% range so this doesn’t appear … Continue reading →
