If Jung Hae In and Kim Go Eun are auditioning for a drama OTP then they just blew it out of the park and if I were a drama executive I would shoehorn these two into a good script ASAP.

I’m guessing that this pictorial is selling shoes but all I see is a woman post-divorce showcasing a brand new look. Song Hye Kyo dropped a new pictorial to start the week and she looks fantabulous. Oh what some dramatic eyeliner and straightened hair can do for freshening up a look. I’m hoping sooner rather than later that all posts … Continue reading →

Hahaha, if these two weren’t good girlfriends and were of opposite sex, this would totally be a netizen capture of a romantic relationship.

SBS is presenting yet another drama take on the underbelly of the rich and powerful, this time with veteran actress Kim Sun Ah in the fall drama Secret Boutique. I love the two teaser posters, so artfully done and evocative, mysterious and intriguing. Kim Sun Ah plays Jenny Jang, a lowly jimjjalbang (bathhouse) worker who starts working as a housemaid … Continue reading →

Gu Hye Sun and Ahn Jae Hyun Have Different Views on the Impending Divorce

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 18, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 18, 2019
Two individuals holding awards and flowers.

From someone who has lived through this, I would advise Gu Hye Sun to do everything she can to make the impending divorce with husband Ahn Jae Hyun as non-contentious as possible rather than fighting against the tide. This is why divorces in most countries are no-fault because once someone doesn’t want to be married there is no way to … Continue reading →

There’s two young names being added to the upcoming season 2 of hit medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim. I figure the younger leads Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok don’t feel the need to come back understandably, so in their place the drama is going to cast Ahn Hyo Seob and rookie Jeon So Ni. Of course the … Continue reading →
