A Koala's Playground Posted on August 27, 2024 by ockoalaAugust 27, 2024
Couple dressed in traditional Korean attire outdoors.

So not only is this drama feel like a random surprise appearance for me, the leading actress also made me do a double take. Sageuk romance Chunhwa Love Story released the first still of leads Go Ara and Chang Ryul this week and I was seriously unable to place that this was even in development. And then I realized the … Continue reading →

Group of friends posing for a photo.

I love good dorky fun and the agency game day at King Kong Entertainment with tons of big Korean stars is exactly that. I love the color coordinate teams, Lee Dong Wook wearing his sunglasses looking like a gangster while being team pink the entire time, Go Ara literally the exact same nearly 20 years later still, and Shin Seung … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 26, 2023 by ockoalaMay 27, 2023
Action movie poster featuring intense scenes.

I always felt like the personal life scandal of K-actor Kim Sun Ho in October 2021 was overblown due to how he suddenly got so popular in the year prior and also his ardent fans promoting his good guy image Otherwise it’s not a law-breaking issue merely messiness in a prior romantic relationship and it’s not one that K-ent finds … Continue reading →

This will be the new normal, stores/restaurants/work sites closing down due to possible COVID-19 exposure for a quarantine period.

There’s a lot going on with upcoming KBS drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol and it feels like there should be something for a lot of different tastes going in.

Go Ara is a Candy Confection of Cuteness in First Drama Stills for Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 23, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 22, 2020
Fashionable woman with various styles and dog.

Okay, when I heard the title of this drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol and that it was for sure a music themed drama, seeing female lead Go Ara dressed like a walking poof of girly cuteness was not what I expected for her styling. Granted she can be a musician and wear whatever she wants but she … Continue reading →

Script Reading For Upcoming KBS Drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol with Go Ara, Lee Jae Wook, and Kim Joo Hoon

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 12, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2020
Three actors holding script papers, smiling together.

I took my time to write about this drama because goodness the title just doesn’t jibe for me. Clearly I’m not musically inclined otherwise I would be writing about K-pop, so being linguistically inclined makes me near tone deaf and the upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama is called Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol which means nothing to me but … Continue reading →

The official drama poster for the full cast above is full of camaraderie and warmth, like a hearty homemade meal as this band of disparate judges and clerks walk side by side down the street.

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 7, 2018 by ockoalaMay 8, 2018
Three people in a vibrant city street.

I really love the official drama poster for jTBC drama Miss Hammurabi. It delivers a scene full of emotional and life as Go Ara drags along her more stodgy and senior judges L and Sung Dong Il in a local market backdrop. I still think the casting of two out of the three leads is way wack but then I … Continue reading →
