Two smiling individuals in fashionable attire.

It’s officially a go for upcoming fall tvN melodrama Boyfriend, with female lead Song Hye Kyo posting a picture of her first two scripts for the drama.

The British-founded scent house Jo Malone is doing a concerted push in South Korea because this month has not just one but two big ad campaigns for the brand.

There was a two-fer news featuring K-actor Lee Jong Seok to end the week, and both are actually connected.

The juxtaposition between covered and exposed, broad and lithe, are so well photographed in the latest CF pictorial featuring top Korean actress Jeon Ji Hyun. The woman slays as a fashion goddess in how she just knows how to deliver a shot. Even modeling puffy winter down coats she reminds us that chubby outerwear doesn’t necessarily make the wearer look … Continue reading →

Subway Quadruples Stores and Sales in Four Years Thanks to K-drama Product Placement

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 22, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2018
Soldier ordering at a Subway restaurant.

The strategy has paid off so that’s the upsize for a sandwich brand that has bedeviled my K-drama watching experience for the past few years. I remember the first K-drama when Subway first showed up excessively and prominently, it was Prime Minister and I in 2013 and since then it’s been the most glaring PPL offender around. There are lots … Continue reading →

The third iteration in the Let’s Eat drama universe started with controversy with how it dispatched the leading lady from the second season, and is now ending with controversy for how the leading man is about to depart in real life. Yoon Doo Joon announced rather abruptly that he was leaving for military service on August 24th, basically the end … Continue reading →

Song Seung Heon Exudes Player Charm in New Drama Opposite Tough Girl Krystal

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 22, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 22, 2018
Man in suits, diverse poses and settings.

I have this feeling that upcoming OCN heist baddies-stealing-from-baddies K-drama Player is going to be a hoot. Maybe not straight up comedy but enough intentional and unintentional comedic moments to be worth my while. Starring Song Seung Heon, Krystal, and Lee Si Un, the drama has a ragtag team of thieves stealing hidden ill-gotten gains from criminals, making us root … Continue reading →

K-ent News Program Discusses More Dating Signs with Park Min Young and Park Seo Joon Including Living Proximity

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 21, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2018
Actors posing with heart and news map overlay

I think K-media has it out for Park Seo Joon and/or Park Min Young, at least has hunkered down in an attempt to get the two to admit they were/are dating. It’s disingenuous to say other than as a loyal fan that the two are straight up not dating based on the forthright reporting being done on the two since … Continue reading →
