Yoon Eun Hye Picks Among All Her Leading Men and Lands on Gong Yoo as Her Ideal Type

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 1, 2014 by ockoalaFebruary 1, 2014

Yoon Eun Hye missed last year’s round of year end drama award palooza since starring in a ratings, critics, and audience-panned stinker like Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) does ensure even an awards staple like her gets to stay home this time. This week she popped up on One Night of Entertainment in a short interview held at the … Continue reading →

Gong Yoo Steams Up the Pages of Marie Claire with New Movie The Suspect Premiering in December

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 7, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 7, 2013

If I ever saw Gong Yoo in person, I would probably stare slack-jawed. He’s just such a man’s man with his height and physique, but with a boyish charm when he flashes a brilliant smile that completely undercuts the machismo. It’s been over a year since I’ve seen Gong Yoo onscreen, but it doesn’t feel that long because I still … Continue reading →

Official Stills of Gong Yoo and Jung Yumi Guest-starring in Cyrano Dating Agency

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 19, 2013 by ockoalaJune 19, 2013

I get why Cyrano Dating Agency is well-liked but not quite a popular mania drama. Its got a simple concept with the dating agency and client of the week stories, effective zippy execution and solid acting, and a charming low key vibe. What it lacks is a hook, something about one or two of the leads emotional state or personal … Continue reading →

Gong Yoo, Lee Min Jung, and Suzy Promote Big in Japan

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 8, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 7, 2013

Woah momma was I not expecting to see these three people together in any capacity ever again. Gong Yoo, Lee Min Jung, and Suzy was in Japan together this past weekend promoting Big overseas. This crazy roller coaster ride of a drama was probably as rabid as I got last year over any drama aside from The King 2 Hearts. … Continue reading →

K-drama Breakouts and Un-breakouts of 2012

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 3, 2012

In an attempt to procrastinate starting my year end reviews, I started wasting time pondering random thoughts concerning the 2012 K-drama landscape. Aside from good and bad dramas, I realized I could actually pinpoint the breakouts of this year (and the un-breakouts, those who were flying high only to hit a dud this year), which actually were quite a few. … Continue reading →

New Mind Bridge Stills of Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung Flashback to the Big OTP

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 2, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 31, 2012

When an actor/actress really connects with me in a certain character, even if I’m happily watching them in future projects in different roles, they will always live inside my heart in the role they won me over with. For Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo, both of whom have always been cute to watch onscreen but not much else, Big … Continue reading →

Sneak Peek at Mind Bridge Fall 2012 Ad Campaign with Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 21, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 22, 2012

I’m still slowly coming off the high of Big, despite knowing that the story was mostly all expectations that weren’t met, ultimately what little that did pay off truly connected with me. I think of Da Ran and Kyung Joon somewhere falling in love again, and telling the world that it can take its objections and shove it. Gong Yoo … Continue reading →

Koala Brains and Feelings Debate Big with a Final BTS Video of the Cast Farewell

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 27, 2012 by ockoalaJuly 27, 2012

When a drama I really loved finishes, I usually need a gradually weaning off of it. Such as rewatching choice scenes, and inevitably posting some more about it until I’m ready to put it to bed. So if you didn’t like Big, ignore me as usual unless you want to listen to me talk to myself (which might be amusing … Continue reading →

Gong Yoo to Sing Final Tearful Track for Big OST

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 18, 2012 by ockoalaJuly 18, 2012

Oh goodness with a side of Mexican jumping beans, why does Gong Yoo and the production of Big want to stick an extra long knife into my heart AND twist it around for good measure? KBS just announced that, aside from cast member Suzy contributing a track to the Big OST, the drama’s most awesome we-are-not-worthy male lead Gong Yoo will … Continue reading →

First Stills from Episode 13 of Big Show off the Upcoming 10:10 Surprise

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2012 by ockoalaJuly 13, 2012

The first stills for next week’s episodes of Big have appeared, and it surely relaxes all of us worried that Da Ran might get cold feet about choosing Kyung Joon despite the kiss at the end of episode 12. I’m going to say Kyung Joon, instead of Kyung Jae, because I really feel that Da Ran is in love with … Continue reading →

Written Preview and New Stills for Episode 12 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 10, 2012 by ockoalaJuly 10, 2012

Camping! Who else is getting a flashback to City Hall? YY? It’s all good, because if any scene in Big can evoke a memory from my favorite K-drama, then I say the drama is on the right track in giving me OTP goodness. I have to laugh at how the folks who don’t like this drama feel the need to … Continue reading →

Piping Hot Spoiler Pictures for Upcoming Episodes of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 16, 2012 by ockoalaJune 16, 2012

I just had one of the most memorable dinners ever, capped off with a bottle of Opus One (so good I could cry), but I swear my evening got even better when I came home to find these pictures exploding off DC Gall. Lee Min Jung posted the latest spoiler pictures from Big, so be forewarned that it isn’t exactly … Continue reading →

Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo Hold Me2Day Chat with Fans and Reveals Major Big Spoilers

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 16, 2012 by ockoalaJune 16, 2012

Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo held a live chat on Me2Day with the fans of Big yesterday, though the conversation ended up being more about food than the drama. Both of them appear to have very lively and playful personalities when chatting online, and I can just imagine the fun all around on the set of the drama. Despite … Continue reading →
