Man and woman seated in a stylish lounge.

I love reunions and this one is a long ways out, thirteen years later to be exact. Upcoming Taiwan movie Let’s Cheat Together (Chinese title The Mayor’s Wife’s Secret) headlines Chen Qiao En as the titular mayor’s wife and Ming Dao has a role as the mayor’s fixer who gets brought in to clean up the mess when scandalous pictures … Continue reading →

Apparently Lee Jong Seok and Kim Ji Won are still in discussions for upcoming romance K-drama See You Again, and maybe the production is tired of waiting hence the report today emphasizing the offers out to them and stating that script reading will be held this Saturday May 19th.

EXO’s Chanyeol and Han Bo Reum Cast in Supporting Roles in K-drama Memories of Alhambra

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 15, 2018 by ockoalaMay 15, 2018
Young man in tuxedo giving thumbs up.

I’m liking the further casting of upcoming K-drama Memories of Alhambra which has already confirmed high profile leads Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye. After a relatively well-received supporting role in last year’s Missing 9, Chanyeol of the idol group EXO has been cast in Memories as the younger brother of Park Shin Hye’s character. Joining Chanyeol in a supporting … Continue reading →

The British are dominating many of the news cycles world wide thanks to the marriage of a famous prince to a real life cinderella story of his actress fiancee. I’m assuming tourism to the England is going to spike around the wedding weekend but I’m way more interested in visiting for the English spring scene.

Elegant couple at a formal event.

Oh dear these two are going to be such eye candy onscreen. The first couple stills are out of Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young in upcoming tvN romance Why Secretary Kim, and by couple I mean in the same frame looking like a couple attending a black tie affair even though they are likely still just company president … Continue reading →

Tang Yan Exudes Confident Contentment at the Bulgari Jewelry Event

I haven’t seen Tang Yan in a quite some time due to not watching any C-dramas recently and also the lack of gossip columns about her that used to dominate the headlines. She’s been dating her frequent drama costar Luo Jin for two years now and the two continue to star in dramas together, I’ve lost count of how many … Continue reading →

Woman smiling and waving outdoors.

Taiwan is the place to be for K-ent singer-actors as one after another has in recent weeks gone there for fan meetings. There was Lee Seung Gi three weeks ago, Choi Si Won two weeks ago, and now Suzy last week. Suzy is quite popular there though perhaps not as insanely popular as she is in South Korea, a feat … Continue reading →

The new tvN Sat-Sun drama Lawless Lawyer is off to a kickass ratings start, continuing the cable network’s powerhouse offerings for that time slot.

Lee Min Ho Shares 12th Anniversary of Debut Celebration Pictures at Home with Dog

I can’t believe it’s been twelve years since K-actor Lee Min Ho debuted. It feels both too short and too long, short because he’s done so many dramas and the time flew by, and long because he rocketed to stardom so soon after debuting thanks to the serendipitous timing of landing his most iconic role of Gu Jun Pyo in … Continue reading →

Soft portrait with long hair and drop earring

Having a baby shouldn’t incapacitate a woman but it certainly adds to the workload, and for an actress the potential for weight gain and sleepless nights doesn’t help in keeping a top image. With that said, renowned natural Korean beauties Jeon Ji Hyun and Kim Tae Hee make it so effortless to just glide right back into promotions, especially Jeon … Continue reading →

Drama Posters and New Teaser for About Time with Lee Sang Yoon and Lee Sung Kyung

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2018 by ockoalaMay 11, 2018
Couple holding hands in a serene setting.

I’m going to have to madly love female lead Lee Sung Kyung‘s character in upcoming tvN fantasy romance About Time, otherwise it’s near impossible to discount that she’s basically playing a stalker of male lead Lee Sang Yoon. The drama is a week out from the premiere and released a duo of beautiful official drama posters, I love it almost … Continue reading →
