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 →

Famous K-drama OTPs: Reunited in 2014 and It Feels So Good!

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 20, 2014 by ockoalaJune 26, 2014

I’m one of those early K-drama fans who watched My Girl years ago and loved it. The story was entertaining (back then) and the OTP was adorable like kittens and puppies with a very young Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae. Flash-forward nine years later and they have reunited in the weekend makjang fest Hotel King and effectively kicked … 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

I was pretty underwhelmed with the super moody first promos for the upcoming MBC weekend drama Hotel King. It’s the drama most anticipated for the high profile reunion of My Girl popular leads Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae, but also boasts a sprawling revenge melodrama topic and a huge cast including Wang Ji Hye, Im Seulong, Alex, Gong … Continue reading →

First Teaser and Official Stills for Hotel King with Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 17, 2014 by ockoalaMarch 17, 2014

I’m intrigued about but not wildly looking forward to the upcoming MBC weekend drama Hotel King like all the My Girl fans dying for the reunion of Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae. Years ago I would have been, but my MG affection has waned since the drama really doesn’t hold up on rewatch with the wafer thin plot … Continue reading →

The cast of the sprawling weekend K-drama Hotel King held its first script reading recently and MBC released the stills to the masses dying for the reunion drama between Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook.

K-Drama Spring 2014 Leading Lady Casting: Go Ara, Kang Sora, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Da Hae

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 →

Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae for Hotel King Up Against Lee Sang Yoon and Gu Hye Sun for Angel Eyes

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 12, 2014 by ockoalaFebruary 12, 2014

With the weekend dramas Golden Rainbow and Thrice Married Woman well into its airings, the networks are finally getting down to business of locking down the main leads for the follow up dramas. Today both MBC and SBS dropped casting news but it’s not exactly double the happiness when I heard it. I’ll do the happiness inducing good news first … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 30, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 30, 2014

January has been a busy news month for Lee Yoo Bi, a relatively newbie actress that I’ve been keeping my eyes on since she made a decent turn in Nice Guy followed by a stunning performance in Gu Family Book. 2014 is starting off with a bang for her and in the last week alone she’s made the headlines in … Continue reading →
