A Koala's Playground Posted on June 9, 2021 by ockoalaJune 8, 2021
Man sitting in formal attire, posing confidently.

When you see celebrities frozen it time it seems weird, but much more cool to see them age but still look oh sooo enviably handsome/beautiful. It comes with the territory of being an actor or actress and this week I had another WTH moment when I saw tributes to K-actor and model Cha Seung Won who celebrated his 51st birthday … Continue reading →

Looks like Here is out and Our Blues is in. Award winning screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung was prepping a new drama announced last year called Here based on people working overseas in NGOs but the production and filming continued to get pushed back due to travel restrictions during the pandemic.

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2020 by ockoalaDecember 15, 2020
Man in suit waving at event backdrop.

I’ve watched K-dramas for so many years I’m almost inured to how insanely good looking the actors are and many who have equal talent to boot as well. Recently two dramas had me doing double takes and marveling at how those actors really filled up the screen with their height in ways that captivated my attention more than before. I’ve … Continue reading →

Everyone is cooking so much more and many sheltering at home so we’re all in essence living Three Meals a Day, heh.

Cha Seung Won Leads Bevy of K-stars Saddled with Fashion Wack at Gucci Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 27, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 25, 2019
Three men in stylish fashion outfits.

I’ll take it if the type of negative news from K-ent is merely a collective grenade of ugly fashion exploding in Seoul. It beats the real stomach churning stories in recent weeks and the entertaining part from fashion fails is how collective it happens with K-stars. At the Gucci event this past weekend, Cha Seung Won led a contingent of … Continue reading →

Jeon Ji Hyun and Cha Seung Won to Cameo in SBS Drama Vagabond with Lee Seung Gi and Suzy

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 15, 2019 by ockoalaJanuary 16, 2019
Two men in stylish coats, staring intently.

SBS action thriller drama Vagabond has a big budget, big name stars, and now even bigger name cameos. The drama is already generating positive buzz after a nicely edited teaser trailer showcasing a lot of Lee Seung Gi running around and glimpses of Suzy trying her best to act like a government agent. Now it has the added bonus buzz … Continue reading →

Cha Seung Won Slips Back into Modeling Roots for the Songzio 2018 Show

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 6, 2018 by ockoalaApril 5, 2018

I think every actor and actress involved with the tvN fantasy drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) deserves to take a long and leisurely break. It was clearly a laborious affair plagued by early production woes and ended with a terribly written drama shot on a bargain budget. It’s a bummer that the second time Cha Seung Won got to work … Continue reading →

Big name K-stars Don Subdued to Overly Labeled Gucci Outfits for Brand Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 2, 2018 by ockoalaJanuary 31, 2018
Man in stylish outfit with patterned sweater.

The Gucci event in Seoul this week brought out the gamut of fashion dressing that happens even within one couture brand. Gucci has always been fashionably loud and not in a good way though I appreciate the consistent vision of the brand. I’m not sure if the brand is changing it’s name from Gucci to Guccy as per new logo … Continue reading →

Man in patterned shirt poses with monkey portrait.

This Saturday is the premiere of tvN drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) and my optimism remains high even as excitement is tempered by the sad news overwhelming K-ent this week with the passing of a much loved male idol. The drama has released official posters, held the press conference, and dropped the long preview so I was surprised to see … Continue reading →
