Lee Min Jung Nearly 7 Months Pregnant and Expecting Baby with Husband Lee Byung Hun

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2015

It feels so weird to report on a happy event but still feel rivers of reservation and this odd sinking sensation that all’s not quite well with it. Lee Min Jung‘s agency MST Entertainment released an official announcement on Monday morning that the married actress was pregnant and expecting her first baby. Lee Min Jung is reportedly 27 weeks pregnant, … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2015

OH MY GOD! This is the second time Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi have given me a mini heart attack.

For those who have a romantic fairytale and/or princess streak, the wedding of Taiwanese music genius Jay Chou to his very pretty and very young now-wife Hannah Quinlivan will be right up your alley. The wedding and reception all took place in England, fulfilling both Jay and Hannah’s dreams of having a very romantic traditional fairytale-esque event. The price tag … Continue reading →

Kim Hyun Joong Fined by Police for One Admitted Instance of Injuring His Ex-girlfriend

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2015

The Kim Hyun Joong assault allegations case came to a surprising end this week, surprising for me only because I thought it was completely over after he issued a public written apology to his ex-girlfriend for physically hurting her in the past and she subsequently dropped the charges against him. Turns out the Korean justice system isn’t as douchey as it … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Nostalgia Returns as Moon Chae Won Picks Song Joong Ki as Her Most Compatible Leading Man

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2015

With my Yoo Seung Ho safely out of the army and back in my virtual drama land embrace, that leaves only Song Joong Ki left that I’m waiting to return triumphant from his military service stint. He’s still got four more months left so I haven’t been dialing up my anticipation too much yet but he was back in the … Continue reading →

Kim Woo Bin Sleek and Stylish Starting Off 2015 in New Fashion Spread

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2015

I haven’t seen much of Kim Woo Bin lately, that happens when he hasn’t done a K-drama last year in 2014 and I typically watch less K-movies. He was busy filming movies all of 2014 and the first of the movies to premiere was Criminal Designer (The Con Artists/The Technicians) over Christmas break. It was billed as a Thieves-esque caper … Continue reading →

Kim So Eun Upsets WGM Fans by Explicitly Putting the Kibosh on Real Life Romance with Song Jae Rim

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2015

The tides of public affection can change on a dime and usually it’s when something disappoints for whatever reason. The super popular current We Got Married onscreen pairing of Kim So Eun and Song Jae Rim recently passed their 100 days show married milestone, with the couple going to Turkey for their fake married honeymoon. The couple was a fan … Continue reading →

C-netizens Dying of Laughter Over Ridiculous Voices and Subs in the US Airing of Popular C-drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2015

A modern new C-drama classic gets a fresh coat of Western paint and the result is unending hilarity that makes me cackle even as I’m thisclose to falling into blissful slumber. The currently hot topic C-drama The Empress of China is merely the latest and boobiest challenger for the throne still occupied by the early 2012 hit The Legend of … Continue reading →

Kim Joon Pensive in New BNT Spread and Stepping Back More in K-dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 16, 2015

There’s an unspoken but accepted truth in the Hana Yori Dango fandom that one actor among the F4 in any drama adaptation won’t nearly be as popular as the other three. Maybe it’s the laws of celebrity that says no way the drama gods give that much blessing to one cast. Kim Joon of Boys Before Flowers has turned out to … Continue reading →

C-version of Queen In Hyun’s Man Starts Production with Pretty First Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 16, 2015

Filming has started on the C-drama adaptation of the popular time-traveling K-drama from a few years ago Queen In Hyun’s Man. Starring pretty young things Zheng Shuang and Jing Bo Ran, the drama has a different title since it’s now based on Chinese history and there ain’t no Queen In Hyun in any Chinese dynasty. The C-drama is titled In … Continue reading →

Hyde, Jekyll, Me Holds Press Conference and Unveils Compelling 10-minute Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 16, 2015

I’ve heard the sentiment echoed that Pinocchio wasn’t nearly as riveting as I Hear Your Voice because the two dramas were similar in theme and style and even more so with the same leading man in Lee Jong Seok. I didn’t watch IHYV so Pinocchio was perfect as a standalone drama for me, but I’m starting to hear and see … Continue reading →
