Lee Da Hae Posts Sweet Wedding Pics with Lee Dong Wook as Hotel King Wraps Up

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 27, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 27, 2014

Hotel King is one of those dramas where I watched two episodes and bailed. It wasn’t beyond terrible but was bad enough that even the reunion OTP of Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae wasn’t enough to keep me around. With that said, the three new pictures posted by Lee Da Hae on her social media account this weekend … Continue reading →

Weekend Drama Hotel King Releases Posters and Unexpectedly Comedic New Teasers

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 24, 2014 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2014

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 16, 2014 by ockoalaFebruary 16, 2014

Casting news waxes and wanes and last week was a particularly busy week for K-dramas. It’s always the male leads that garner more attention but there can’t be a drama without a female lead so it’s time to see how the Spring pairings are shaping up on the ladies side of things. First up is my most anticipated SBS cop … Continue reading →
