Props to Korean idols Yoona and Minho for getting the full coordinating fashion memo while attending the Givenchy 2018 spring fashion show in Paris recently. The SM Entertainment label mates were a pretty pair despite the mostly unpretty outfits from the fashion house, complete with animal prints, sharp shoulder pads, velvet pants, and awkward height cowboy boots with side cutouts. … Continue reading →

I’m surprised by this news solely due to timing as I thought it was already done with. K-actor Lee Min Ho will be doing his mandatory four-weeks of basic training starting this month despite enlisting last year in May of 2017 after finishing up his drama Legend of the Blue Sea and doing some farewell fan meetings. He’s been serving … Continue reading →

Man in a trench coat leaning by a door.

I have my loves and without reservation K-actor and singer Lee Seung Gi is one of them. I legit love watching him in any role and at the same time can express disappointment if his performance or the greater project itself is flawed and lackluster. Such as the takeaway from his most recent K-drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) yet I … Continue reading →

Lee Se Young Shines Above the Messy Characterization and Narrative of tvN Fantasy Drama Hwayugi

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 10, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 9, 2018
Woman resting her chin on her hand.

It takes a combination of luck and ability to land a supporting drama role that steals the lead thunder, and to do so in an especially bad K-drama. Lee Se Young already had her first leading lady role in The Best Hit last year before she signed on as a supporting role for Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) but she really … Continue reading →

Student group in formal attire, smiling.

I tend to forget how well Japan adapts its own mangas due to playing up the visuals to match the source material. The first stills and teaser are out for the J-dorama adaptation Hana Nochi Hare otherwise known as Boys Before Flowers Season 2.
