Signs of Closeness Evident Between Dating Stars Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol Since Answer Me 1988 Filming Days

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 17, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 16, 2017
Two people smiling and waving together.

This new K-ent dating couple allows a fan favorite alternate drama ship to sail and plenty of “I told you so” from their fans. I think Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol were adorable together in Answer Me 1988 even though narratively I was a hundred billion percent on the Park Bo Gum ship. Everyone has their preferences and since it’s … Continue reading →

Answer Me 1988’s Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol Confirmed to be Dating in Real Life

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 16, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 16, 2017
Two individuals at a promotional event.

The reel to real romances in K-ent typically are about fan shipping dreams from a K-drama fictional romance coming true in real life. That means it’s usually leads who play the OTP in the drama hence the fans who loved their onscreen romantic story line extend that to real life hopes of love. But real life is not a K-drama … Continue reading →

Jo Jung Seok Confirms K-drama Two Cops and Idol Hyeri in Talks for Female Lead

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 1, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 1, 2017
Two smiling individuals posing for the camera.

This is a downgrade for me and I can’t believe I’m saying this because the original contender for the role isn’t my idea of a great thespian to begin with. First off with the good news, Jo Jung Seok has confirmed as the leading man for upcoming MBC drama Two Cops. Not so good news is that earlier in discussion … Continue reading →

Ladies ruled the red carpet, with a surprising easy on the eyes green movie poster background, at the VIP premiere of K-movie A Taxi Driver. This movie pairs veteran Song Kang Ho with German actor Thomas Kretschmann for a real life depiction of a taxi driver assisting a German reporter in covering the Gwangju uprising of 1980. The star attendees at … Continue reading →

Hyeri Confirmed for Joseon K-movie Water Monster with Kim Myung Min in Talks as Male Lead

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 21, 2017 by ockoalaMarch 21, 2017
Person in light blue coat smiling softly.

This sounds like a potentially fun new K-movie in the works, even if the casting keeps with the current trend of pairing together an established critically acclaimed veteran with a popular young thing still learning the acting ropes. Girl’s Day‘s Hyeri is making her big screen debut in a splashy way with the sageuk supernatural comedy movie Water Monster (Mulgae). … Continue reading →

Song Joong Ki Takes Home Daesang at 2016 APAN Star Awards

Young man in suit holding an award.

It’s not exactly awards season yet in K-ent but the chips are falling as expected even for the one-off awards event such as the just held APAN Star Awards sponsored by the Daejeon Drama Festival. The big winner was Descendants of the Sun, taking home Best Drama, as well as its male lead Song Joong Ki, sweeping up the Daesang, adding … Continue reading →

K-stars Walk the VIP Movie Premiere Carpet for Son Ye Jin Film Princess Deokhye

The turnout was a smidge on the less-than-star-studded side for the VIP movie premiere of period film Princess Deokhye, starring Son Ye Jin and Park Hae Il on the life of the last princess of Korea. On the plus side there was weird fashion aplenty starting with a surfeit of ugly jean cuts, but made up by having a few … Continue reading →

This Friday night was the 2016 Baeksang Arts Awards in Seoul, with the brightest Korean television and film stars of the year gathered for glitz, glamour and peer recognition. Acclaimed movie director Lee Joon Ik took home the Film side Daesang for directing The Throne and Dong Ju while the Daesang on the television side didn’t go to a person but … Continue reading →

Ji Sung and Hyeri Sell their Chemistry and Music Journey Story Line for SBS Drama Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 20, 2016 by ockoalaApril 19, 2016
Two smiling individuals posing together.

SBS premieres new Wed-Thurs drama Entertainer (Ttanttara, a derogatory Korean slang for the title), so get used to hearing it used often in the drama and also get used for a new competitive playing field. With KBS finished with its Descendants of the Sun domination the field is now open again to see if newcomer Entertainer and Master: God of … Continue reading →

Entertainer Makes it Hip to be Square in Official Drama Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2016 by ockoalaApril 18, 2016
K-drama promotional poster with main characters.

There’s a wonderfully comforting vibe about Entertainer and it’s not something easily explainable. I just get the feels with the teasers and stills, and now the official drama posters seal the deal. Love, love, love the slightly retro colors and a square sentiment around it. Ji Sung looks so earnest as the fallen music man trying to reclaim his industry … Continue reading →

Entertainer Looks Vastly Entertaining with Minty Throwback Posters and Dramatic New Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 14, 2016 by ockoalaApril 14, 2016
Cast of the Korean drama "Ddangta."

I’ve definitively found the first choice in my next K-drama to follow and it’s Entertainer thanks to the latest preview showing scenes from the first episode. It looks so earnest and entertaining (pardon the title pun), with Ji Sung owning the screen as he alternates between put upon and extending a life line. With the end of Please Come Back … Continue reading →

Ji Sung Has Chemistry with Everyone in New Stills and Teaser for SBS Drama Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 13, 2016 by ockoalaApril 13, 2016
Couple sharing an intimate moment together.

I bow at the awesome altar of Ji Sung, how can he so effortlessly sell so many different interactions? I suppose it’s not a surprise since he convincingly sold 7 different personalities in Kill Me Heal Me, but in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Entertainer he’s oozing connection with all three costars Hyeri, Chae Jung Ahn, and Kang Min Hyuk. Maybe … Continue reading →

Kang Min Hyuk Perfectly Cast as a High School Budding Musician in SBS Drama Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 11, 2016 by ockoalaApril 11, 2016
Young man in a school uniform, looking thoughtful.

Even after Answer Me 1988 I don’t find Hyeri a truly talented actress (yet), but one thing she’s delivering in spades is chemistry with her male leads. She had loads of sizzle with both Ryu Jun Yeol and Park Bo Gum, so it’s not a surprise to see her already looking compatible with both Ji Sung and Kang Min Hyuk … Continue reading →
