Ha Ji Won and Younger Brother Jeon Tae Soo’s Father Unexpectedly Passes Away

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 10, 2016 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2016
Group of six people posing together.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but real life doesn’t always imitate fiction and sometimes even exceeds it in ways impossible to prepare for. 2016 was looking rosy for A-list Korean actress Ha Ji Won, but before she could even take the first steps into the new year with her entertainment career, her real life delivered a … Continue reading →

Ha Ji Won Showcases Her Effortless Beauty in New High Cut Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 11, 2015
Young woman with long hair and red lips.

It’s great to the fierce yeoja Ha Ji Won in a new pictorial looking so sultry and confident. I wish all of that great attitude went somewhere in her last drama The Time I Loved You, which had all the makings of a great rom-com and ended up a great mess that everyone involved and audiences included would rather forget. … Continue reading →

Woman in traditional clothing smiling brightly.

This is as suitable a selection as any, short of landing Korea’s biggest traditional beauty export Lee Young Ae for the gig. The as pretty in modern or traditional attire A-list actress Ha Ji Won was just named ambassador for the hanbok, the ambassador thingie is really becoming a thing she wears well since she was also named ambassador for the … Continue reading →

Filming Starts on Thriller Romance C-movie with Ha Ji Won, Bolin Chen, and Chun Jung Myung

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 8, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 8, 2015
Three smiling individuals posing together outdoors.

Ha Ji Won isn’t letting a flopped drama slow her down, and why should she when the flop of The Time I Loved You (K-remake of In Time With You) was all the fault of the terrible script and excessive PPL rather than her performance or chemistry with costar Lee Jin Wook. She’s just started filming the Korean-Chinese joint production movie … Continue reading →

Lee Young Ae and Jeon Ji Hyun Top the List of Actress Salaries in K-dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 21, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2015
Two stylish portraits of a woman.

As a drama viewer I would prefer to talk about the substance of the work, but the reality is that so much involving the production itself impacts the quality onscreen. If all the production budget goes to paying the two leads, where’s the money to spend on realistic set pieces and paying the rest of the cast to gamely do … Continue reading →

Kim Tae Hee, Lee Young Ae, and Jeon Ji Hyun Top the Netizen’s Ranking of the 20 Most Beautiful Female K-stars

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 17, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 17, 2015
Three women showcasing beauty and elegance.

Kim Tae Hee is having a very good August 2015, that’s for sure. Her new drama Yongpal with Joo Won is a major hit (relatively speaking in this day and age of depressed television ratings), and now she’s garnered another crown by being voted by K-netizens as the number 1 celebrity beauty in Korea in 2015. One can argue that … Continue reading →

Ha Ji Won Denies Rumors that She’s Dating TW-actor Bolin Chen

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 9, 2015
Two stylish individuals posing indoors.

This news is totally an “excuse me but come again?” reaction goldmine, but also may have a secondary benefit of assuaging the disappointed and/or angry feelings of certain drama fans watching a K-drama remake of a popular TW-drama. Korean and Chinese news is off with a bang this Monday with reports that K-actress Ha Ji Won is categorically denying rumors … Continue reading →

The Time I Loved You Holds Fashionable Press Conference and Releases Rom-com Feel 5-minute Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 24, 2015 by ockoalaJune 24, 2015
Four actors posing at a promotional event.

After a highly scrutinized casting and development process, the K-adaptation of In Time With You finally arrives this weekend to meet the public. Will it tank on arrival? Even with A-lister Ha Ji Won headlining, nothing is guaranteed these days and a haphazard story or directing could send audiences scurrying. On the upside view, maybe it’ll be a refreshing breath … Continue reading →

Additional Drama Posters for The Time I Loved You Continue to Impress with the Comfortable Warmth

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 21, 2015 by ockoalaJune 20, 2015
Two people looking at each other from windows.

The Time I Loved You could still end up sucking but there’s no question the drama production has delivered 110% on crafting beyond gorgeous drama posters. None of those flat photoshopped creations with the faces of drama leads looking cute/constipated/intense arrayed around each other. I always prefer drama posters that are shot in real outdoor settings, or at least designed … Continue reading →

The Time I Loved You Looking Solidly Intriguing Again with Release of New Fourth Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 20, 2015 by ockoalaJune 20, 2015
Young adults showing various emotions and interactions.

This fourth teaser is is my favorite by far from upcoming SBS weekend drama The Time I Loved You. It’s not much but does improve in the right direction, delivering in 30 short seconds tons of snippets that all work for me. There is the cute chemistry between leads Ha Ji Won and Lee Jin Wook, showing us their current … Continue reading →

Two students posing in school uniforms.

The first peeks were out already of Ha Ji Won and Lee Jin Wook playing high schoolers in The Time I Loved You but now the production has released official drama stills to go along with it. I love Ha Ji Won and find her a beautiful woman but there is no way in hell I’ll be fangirl blinded and say that … Continue reading →

Ha Ji Won and Lee Jin Wook are Romantic Perfection in Drama Poster for The Time I Loved You

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 15, 2015 by ockoalaJune 15, 2015
Couple sharing a tender moment with cups.

The see-sawing promo materials for upcoming SBS weekend drama The Time I Loved You is seriously giving me whiplash. It wouldn’t be as frustrating if the drama was just an original work, but it’s supposed to be the official K-adaptation of the popular TW-drama In Time With You, so the promos understandably take on an additional layer of scrutiny. I … Continue reading →
