Okay, just picked myself off the floor, nothing to see here. I thought I had the potential K-drama OTP pairings all figured out but somehow this one never once crossed my mind.

K-ent Deems Gong Hyo Jin the Most Reliable K-drama Goddess Who in 22-years Brings in Ratings, Buzz, or Critical Acclaim, Great Chemistry with Every Male Lead, and Has Never Had a Scandal

I don’t think I would argue with this assessment even if it’s possible to make alternative arguments. But by and large it really has been an epic run for K-actress Gong Hyo Jin in her 22-year long career on South Korean television. Her movie resume is actually longer but for I-audiences it’s really the world of K-dramas where one first … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 8, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 8, 2021

K-actress Gong Hyo Jin has such a fresh, quirky, chic vibe she’s the opposite of what I would think of a makjang queen whether in dramas or in real life. But for her next drama she’s going full meta and the drama sounds like it’s a drama-within-a-drama. She’s signed on for the Netflix produced K-drama Woman of Crisis playing the … Continue reading →

The 2020 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards took place this week in Seoul with an actual ceremony though very understated as it’s a government sponsored function. It’s organized by the government’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the awards go to all entertainer groups.

Song Hye Kyo and Gong Hyo Jin Post on SNS in Support of Good Friend Yoo Ah In’s Upcoming Zombie Thriller Movie #Alive with Park Shin Hye

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 25, 2020 by ockoalaJune 24, 2020

Awwww, long live friendships in K-ent and I feel like Yoo Ah In has really nestled himself in tight with so many top stars and maintained that friendship through the years. Both Song Hye Kyo and Gong Hyo Jin are good friends with Yoo Ah In, separately I believe as I don’t think both actresses run in the same friend … Continue reading →

Gong Hyo Jin Discusses Style and Acting in May 2020 Dazed Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 29, 2020 by ockoalaApril 28, 2020

It’s nice to see Gong Hyo Jin active in promotions this spring, probably capitalizing on the great momentum from 2019 when she won awards and ratings with her hit drama When the Camellia Blooms. It was a tad schizophrenic for me, like two totally unrelated dramas being Franken-stitched into one. Gong Hyo Jin remains always watchable with a down to … Continue reading →

I don’t know if K-actress Gong Hyo Jin was good friends with Son Dam Bi before they did K-drama When the Camellia Blooms last year or become close friends after working together. Now they are super duper besties and along with Jung Ryeo Won it seems there is a cool quirky girl crew in K-ent that had a reason to … Continue reading →

Sad woman looking down, contemplating her situation.

This seems like such a weird thing to do and I sorta get the blowback on it. K-actress Gong Hyo Jin, coming off what may be a career banner year with K-drama When the Camellia Blooms got her the KBS Drama Awards Daesang, is in the cross hairs of K-netizens this week after she posted a comment on one of … Continue reading →
