A Koala's Playground Posted on September 4, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Two smiling individuals at public events.

The punny aspect of this K-drama is already cute enough to be in rom-com territory, and then the production made everything a million times better by casting my bae Yoo Seung Ho. He’s confirmed for upcoming SBS drama Bok Soo is Back, also called Revenge is Back since Bok Soo is how to pronounce revenge. He played a guy who … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 3, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Dramatic scenes from a historical film.

This looks like the perfect movie for long flights, the kind of mindless and hopefully fun entertainment to help pass two hours quickly. Next week is the premiere of K-movie Monstrum with Kim Myung Min as a Joseon government official and warrior sent to slay an aquatic and land monster terrorizing the commoners and causing unrest for the nobles and … Continue reading →

Song Joong Ki Holds 10th Anniversary Fan Meeting with Video and Live Guests

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 2, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Man speaking into a microphone on stage.

I think if Song Joong Ki didn’t already do a drama with Song Hye Kyo then he’s actually my ideal pick for the character of the younger boyfriend in her upcoming drama Boyfriend which has cast Park Bo Gum. Whatever Song Joong Ki may be like in real life, and by all accounts he’s as conscientious, considerate, and nice as … Continue reading →

Lush Colors and Costumes in Posters and Stills for tvN Sageuk 100 Days My Prince

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 2, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Collage of characters from a historical drama.

I’m a sucker for gorgeous costuming in period dramas, appropriate to the context of course, because it’s visual porn akin to fawning over the British costumes in a Jane Austen novel adaptation. There a dreamy romantic element of the transportation to the past distinct from the narrative, and if done right really elevates the watch pleasure. Upcoming tvN sageuk 100 … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Fashionable woman in dark coat and sunglasses.

Strutting like a girl boss through the airport is such a modernized K-drama image which was perfectly pulled off by Park Min Young this week leaving Incheon to fly overseas. She went from summer airport attire two weeks ago to full fall fashion ready this time, going for black miniskirt with white t-shirt, very sensible and comfy, topped with an … Continue reading →

Jo In Sung Becomes Instagram Worthy in All Peach Suit at Movie Premiere for The Great Battle

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Celebrities taking selfies with fans at event.

I legit guffawed out loud when I laid eyes on K-actor Jo In Sung‘s outfit at the movie premiere for his period film The Great Battle. He went exactly opposite to his grizzled war general role in the film and delivered a true flower boy visual that proves he’s still got it even at 38 years old. Jo In Sung … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Woman in red top with long, wavy hair.

I gotta give it to K-actress and fashion provocateur Gong Hyo Jin for delivering another eye-catching and discussion-worthy outfit debut. The avant garde fashion risk taker attended the Christian Dior store event in Seoul wearing the brand house from including accessories and she could not have been more over-the-top. Luckily it was in a good way because this is the … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi Does Indoor Cool for Black Yak Outdoor Sportswear

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Model showcasing winter collection in dramatic scenes.

The outdoor brand Black Yak has used Lee Seung Gi as its brand model for multiple years now and the latest season pictorial is out for the fall/winter 2018 campaign. I find it ironic that that outdoor brand is doing an indoor photo shoot that is stylized to resemble the outdoors, if the outdoors had artfully perched wooden stumps on … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Four people posing in a garage setting.

I so love the mood transition from beyond dark to knowingly cheeky for Song Seung Heon in his drama selection. Black was a riveting drama but took a piece of my drama heart with it watching so much misery, but now I get to have some getaway heist fun with Song Seung Heon in his upcoming OCN drama Player. The … Continue reading →
