I’m happy to share an update on the recovery status of K-actress Han Ye Seul from a botched lipoma removal surgery last month. She posted an SNS selfie which was later expanded with two cute additional pictures posted by her good friend and fellow actress Jung Ryeo Won. Han Ye Seul looks amazing with blond hair and rocking the oversized … Continue reading →

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 →

K-actress Yoon Eun Hye loves her puppy very much and who can blame her. Her dog is adorable and so is she in these latest SNS pictures shared this week with fans. Since I love Yoon Eun Hye and dogs this is a no brainer to post about, especially when she continues her long acting hiatus but seems to be … Continue reading →

Jeon Ji Hyun and Kim Tae Hee Swiftly Resumes CF Career After Having Baby

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2018 by ockoalaMay 11, 2018

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 →

The drama casting gods have spoken and we’re getting an All In reunion but between generations. Ji Sung and Han Ji Min are confirmed for upcoming K-drama Knowing Wife (The Wife I Know), with the two working together actually for the first time despite both being in the classic Hallyu hit drama All In.

Park Seo Joon Sports Bipolar Hair Style for Coffee Shop Brand Event in Seoul

This is the second time I’ve noticed Park Seo Joon having terrible hair moment, and it’s already more than most male stars since men’s hair styles are a whole lot harder to mess up. Last year his bad hair day lasted an entire drama namely his wig in Hwarang, proving that he really isn’t cut out for the sageuk flowing … Continue reading →

The Chanel Resort Collection 2018 set sail this week in Paris against the backdrop of a fully recreated steamer ship and plenty of famous faces in attendance. I got excited seeing Liu Shi Shi and Kim Go Eun there, each displaying their own styles and charms. Former ballerina Liu Shi Shi pulled her hair up and back while still looking … Continue reading →

Lee Yoo Young in Talks as So Ji Sub’s Female Lead in MBC Drama Terius Behind Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2018 by ockoalaMay 10, 2018
Smiling person holding leaf by sunlit window

I almost forgot about this drama on the 2018 slate mostly because it’s rather low profile since the announcement of the male lead and then silence afterwards. This week came news that mostly movie actress Lee Yoo Young has been offered the female lead role in Terius Behind Me opposite So Ji Sub. Her casting certainly isn’t going to jolt … Continue reading →

Jung Hae In Thanks Fans in First Statement After Baeksang Center of Photo Furor

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2018 by ockoalaMay 9, 2018

I’m of two minds about the Jung Hae In controversy stemming from his center of photo position in the official winners picture. On one hand it’s not the biggest of deals even if he intentionally planted himself in the middle spot to milk his current It Boy fame. But it does color my impression of him and that’s hard to … Continue reading →

The Fan Bing Bing and Cannes Film Festival red carpet wow dresses have even become staples with the Western media. She’s an annual attendee, has served on the juror, and even been nominated in the past, so I expect her to be looking for her next Cannes dress every year for many year to come.

Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young Continue to Be Adorable in New Preview for Why Secretary Kim

Smiling woman in a light shirt.

I’m getting a small crush on Park Min Young’s entire look in upcoming tvN drama Why Secretary Kim. The makeup, hair color and style, and of course her smart yet feminine secretary attire, she gets a solid A for radiating surround sound level charm. It contrasts nicely with Park Seo Joon who is the rich powerful boss yet is made … Continue reading →

It’s funny how one potential leading lady morphed into another, but both give off very similar vibes. The female lead is confirmed for upcoming K-drama Gyeryong Goddess (or Gyeryong Fairy) with Moon Chae Won picking this as her next drama. Initially Kang Sora was in talks but she pulled out last month due to reported scheduling conflicts. The male lead … Continue reading →
