Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Jin Wook are the Latest K-celeb Acting Couple to Go Public

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 29, 2014 by ockoalaMay 29, 2014

Trusty ol’ K-tabloid Sports Seoul is at it again in the forefront of breaking K-celeb dating news. Or maybe it’s less “breaking” then being part of a well engineered roll out of a couple going public. This one doesn’t include any idols and involves two very well known actors (and also tanks a massively shipped drama couple ship). Gong Hyo Jin and … Continue reading →

It’s Okay, It’s Love Holds Script Reading Session with Leads Gong Hyo Jin and Jo In Sung

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 2, 2014 by ockoalaMay 2, 2014

SBS wrapped up Three Days with Yoochun this week, got ready to launch You’re All Surrounded with Lee Seung Gi and Cha Seung Won next week, and also quietly started filming for It’s Okay, It’s Love starring Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin. Both of the leads had well-received and successful SBS dramas last years with co-stars that most … Continue reading →

Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin Confirmed for Noh Hee Kyung’s Upcoming Drama It’s Okay, It’s Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 17, 2014 by ockoalaMarch 17, 2014

A huge and exciting cast confirmation today for the upcoming SBS drama It’s Okay, It’s Love which will be the first prime time Summer drama to lock down a cast. The two big name A-lister leads Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin will indeed be pairing up for the first time in their long careers, with the added bonus … Continue reading →

The Master’s Sun Delivers a Big Twist in Episode 12 Mashed Up from Three Other Dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 12, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 12, 2013

I don’t know why I bothered, but over the Summer I read Dan Brown’s latest Inferno and it was as painstakingly researched as his prior hits like The Da Vinci Code but equally as soulless as the follow up to that The Lost Symbol. The man is a talented gripping writer for sure, but he’s sunk to the depths of … Continue reading →

Gong Hyo Jin and So Ji Sub Elevate their Chemistry with an Upcoming Kiss for The Master’s Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 3, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 3, 2013

A kiss is a-coming in The Master’s Sun. Does a kiss make everything better? If the participants are So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin, then the answer would be “oh you betcha!” I actually think TMS is getting comparatively better, but all my initial opinions stand and my gripes are merely lessened somewhat as the story glides on a … Continue reading →

New OTP Bed Stills and Preview for Episode 1 of The Master’s Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 3, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 2, 2013

My anticipation for The Master’s Sun can be framed as if I’m on a dating website and finds what seems like a perfect match. Looks great on paper, looks great in pictures, sounds fantastic on the phone, write marvelously in emails. All that is left is the in-person meet and greet, so what could go possibly go wrong? Aside from … Continue reading →

The Master’s Sun Releases Possibly the Best Long Preview EVER

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 31, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2013

Yup, there is no mincing words here, gotta call it like I see it. The Master’s Sun held a press conference yesterday and released a long 12-minute preview for the drama. I was all ready to write about the sartorial misses of the cast, but then I watched the long preview and every single thought flew out the window other … Continue reading →

The Master’s Sun Continues to Deliver Eye-catching Stills of So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 29, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 29, 2013

I am so so excited about The Master’s Sun. Whatever awaits me, at least the promotion for this drama has been exciting and spot-on from the Hong sisters. That’s worth something, right? The official drama website opened last week and has been chock full of goodies, some of which have been released already but I just had to share a … Continue reading →

So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin Go are a Tricolor Couple for The Master’s Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 24, 2013

I might be jinxing the Hong Sisters by admitting that I’m pre-loving The Master’s Sun already on stills and previews alone, but I doubt my little fingers-crossed affection will really be the critical element as to whether this drama will suck or rock. Frankly I expect all their dramas to start off rocking and end up sucking, but even then … Continue reading →

So Ji Sub Reluctantly Gets Closer to Gong Hyo Jin in The Master’s Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 18, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 18, 2013

Since I have to fill this space with words, rather than just put up these super awesome new stills of So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin in The Master’s Sun, I want to talk a bit about the directing to come in this drama since we’ve all gabbed ad nauseum about the writing duo of the Hong sisters. TMS … Continue reading →

Second Awesome and Spooky Preview for The Master’s Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 17, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 17, 2013

With the release of the second preview for the upcoming horror romance drama The Master’s Sun written by the (in)famous Hong Sisters, my interest in this drama has officially skyrocketed. Can I take back what I said about not caring that I Hear Your Voice got a two-episode extension? I care now, I want TMS immediately and am starting the … Continue reading →

Solo Posters Show the Living and Mirror Images of the Leads in The Master’s Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 16, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 16, 2013

Have the Hong sisters lost their mojo? While I personally loved Big for admittedly very subjective reasons unrelated to its quality (or lack thereof), the sisters don’t seem to have that buzziness about them. While You’re Beautiful was their biggest splash in years in terms of net buzz, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho did reasonably well and was quite popular … Continue reading →

Oddball Official Stills and Posters for The Master’s Sun with So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 13, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2013

With I Hear Your Voice getting a two-episode extension (for the sake of its rabid fans I sure hope this isn’t a bad bad decision by the network to milk ratings for the sake of narrative flow and become a Protect the Boss part-deux), The Master’s Sun gets an extra week to do its thang before premiering in the second … Continue reading →
