You’re All Surrounded Holds Press Conference and Releases Fantastic 7-min Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I distinctly remember wishing that the cast attending drama press conferences would wear the simple uniform of well-tailored conservative suits and classy ladylike dresses. That was during a period when each successive drama press conference delivered increasingly amount of WTF eyesore fashion assassination.

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

First off, I love this first drama poster for You’re All Surrounded. It’s not groundbreaking but does two things right – (1) the color is lovely and everyone looks alive as opposed to the recent penchant for dark gritty everyone looks like a vampire stuff, and (2) it manages to stick the entire main cast in (and not just the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I got an unexpected and early treat today with the just released first teaser for You’re All Surrounded. It’s the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama following Three Days with Yoochun which wraps up in two weeks.

You’re All Surrounded with Lee Seung Gi and Cha Seung Won Releases Script Reading Stills and Starts Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The Wed-Thurs battle has petered out recently with three dramas that are all tightly bunched together in the low teen digits in ratings.

Cha Seung Won radiates confidence. He radiates confidence whether he’s dressed or topless, because he knows he looks good either way. He’s like a potato, delicious baked or fried. For L’Officiel Hommes, the magazine decided to give us Cha Seung Won served both ways. I’ll put the clothed version first and hide the muscly one after the jump, because this … Continue reading →

The Cast of Athena Reunite in Japan for DVD Release Concert

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Athena: Goddess of War really is this undead zombie that won’t leave my consciousness. After seeing all the main leads move on to other more sane drama projects since they did Athena, most of the cast and crew reunited this week in Saitama, Japan for a press conference to promote the Japanese release of the Athena DVD.
