First Look at Next Guo Jing Ming Directed Period C-drama Hidden Shadow with Wang Chu Ran and Li Hong Yi

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 25, 2024 by ockoalaNovember 24, 2024
Elegant scene with two characters in discussion.

It’s unfortunate that director Guo Jing Ming has such a own vision on all his works and presents it regardless of how it may be received by the broader audience. My Journey to You was just okay but Fangs of Fortune was a flop, it was too over-the-top in presentation and the slow burn story did no wonders in roping … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2024 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2024
Dramatic scene featuring several dressed characters.

Oh I love this popcorn! Pass more and slather on the butter please. Surprise late fall C-drama hit Love Game in Eastern Fantasy ended last week and there were complaints of the lack of kissing scenes in the drama. Especially with how bottled up inside male lead Ding Yu Xi‘s character was, I could totally see hot make outs of … Continue reading →

Yu Shu Xin Sets New Record for Fastest Sales of a Chinese Fashion Magazine with Her December 2024 Cover of Cosmopolitan

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2024 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2024
Promotional poster for COSMO magazine sales.

I’m so glad I became a Yu Shu Xin fan after her turn in My Journey to Love and continued to enjoy her in Sword and Fairy 6. She is so polarizing with the love her/can’t stand her extremes that it would be annoying to watch her succeed and everywhere when one doesn’t like her. After the unexpected hit that … Continue reading →

The Story of Pearl Girl with Zhao Lu Si and Liu Yu Ning One Ups a Lackluster Run with a Terrible and Dumb Ending

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 22, 2024 by ockoalaNovember 22, 2024
Person with a hood in a natural setting.

If I were a professor I would absolutely be an easy grader. If you try hard sincerely and the output shows that effort I would acknowledge it, in that sense I’m not very black/white in life or in entertainment offerings. I’ve liked plenty of objectively bad movies and dramas because I enjoyed certain elements of it enough to overlook the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 22, 2024 by ockoalaNovember 21, 2024
Cast of "Perfect Match" in traditional costumes.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” No I’m not alleging producer Yu Zheng copied Pride and Prejudice, and even Little Women, but he definitely has assembled the premise of a mom in olden times trying to marry off her daughters. In this case there … Continue reading →
