Woman in black suit, thoughtful expression.

I’ll keep the asides silent for this story, nothing much can come of bystanders making commentary. K-actress Han Groo is in the news this week for two connected events.

After announcing her engagement two months ago, this past weekend Han Groo got married in Seoul to her very handsome non-entertainment industry boyfriend.

This is such good entertainment news to start off a new week, and couldn’t have happened to a cooler young K-actress with a solid head on her shoulders.

Han Groo Reveals Her Own Dating Relationship with Cute Non-celebrity Boyfriend

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 22, 2015 by ockoalaMay 21, 2015
Young woman with long hair posing elegantly.

Han Groo has had her name associated with a number of K-drama castings already this year, from Scholar Who Walks the Night to High Society to Answer Me 1988, but she still doesn’t have a drama comeback lined up as those all fell through for whatever reason. She could have avoided the bullet if all those dramas turn out to be … Continue reading →

Double yes! I already got good casting news this week with the addition of Im Joo Hwan and Kwak Si Yang to upcoming tvN drama Oh My Ghost.

Park Seo Joon and Han Groo Potentially Reuniting with One Warm Word Team for New SBS Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 3, 2015 by ockoalaApril 3, 2015
Romantic moments between couples in various settings.

Now this is a potential casting that looks good, smells good, and will likely taste good when the actual drama airs. SBS has lined up the next Mon-Tues drama to follow the currently airing dark comedy Heard it Through the Grapevine (which I love to pieces). It was initially called Chaebol’s Daughter but just this week got a name change … Continue reading →

Smiling person sitting in a casual setting.

With the amount of positive and negative buzz around the potential casting of rising young actress Han Groo as the female lead for upcoming vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night, there’s going to be split reaction now that it’s confirmed she won’t be doing this drama. An update has been released on the casting of Night Scholar and sources confirm that … Continue reading →

Athletic Han Groo for Nylon Magazine and Considering Romancing the Scholar Who Walks the Night

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 7, 2015 by ockoalaMarch 7, 2015
Young woman in sporty attire, magazine cover.

It dovetails nicely to do a post on Han Groo‘s recent pictorial for Nylon magazine at the same time news comes out of her potential next acting project. I like her a lot but don’t quite love her (yet), she’s arguably one of the better actresses of her age group but still needs a breakout role. I found Marriage Not … Continue reading →

2014 SBS Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2015

With the 2014 SBS Drama Awards, another prolific if underwhelming in quality year wraps up in K-dramaland. There wasn’t an underlying reason I saved this network for last in coverage, MBC went first and I only had time to write about the KBS awards before passing out sick as a dog after watching the new year’s fireworks light off. I … Continue reading →

K-Actors and Actresses Glam Up the 2014 MAMA Red Carpet

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 8, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 8, 2014

I was aware that the popular Hallyu K-pop awards show MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) took place in cosmopolitan glittering Hong Kong last week. It came to my attention when the ratings took a big noticeable dip for Pinocchio, meaning the viewers for that drama skew young and that night the group tuned into the 2014 MAMA’s instead. Nothing wrong … Continue reading →

Korea’s Fashionable Best and Brightest Out for 2014 Style Icon Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 29, 2014

The 2014 Style Icon Awards took place in Seoul yesterday and I’ll admit this whole excuse for celebs to get dressed up would have bypassed my interest but for Kim Soo Hyun winning yet another award there. I can’t believe his year of winning every single award even managed to transcend over to style and fashion categories. This recently created … Continue reading →

The 50th Annual Baeksang Awards Wrap Up with Jeon Ji Hyun and Song Kang Ho Winning the Daesang

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 27, 2014 by ockoalaMay 27, 2014

The 50th annual Baeksang Art Awards concluded last night and actually managed to not render me wholly disappointed even with next to zero expectations. I can’t say the entire endeavor rewarded and feted the most deserving movies, dramas, actors, and actresses (since many of the best were not even nominated to begin with), but at least the final prizes went … Continue reading →
