A Koala's Playground Posted on June 6, 2016 by ockoalaJune 6, 2016
Historical drama poster featuring multiple characters.

The K-drama world of Bu Bu Jing Xin (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) took a big step forward this week with the Chinese released the first poster and video teaser for the drama. It looks good, people, legit does not look like a hot mess off the bat. The Korean version of the many princes are all shining in their own way and … Continue reading →

K-Bu Bu Jing Xin Contrasts Dark Lee Jun Ki with Innocent IU in New Character Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 16, 2016 by ockoalaMay 16, 2016

The styling for the leads in the upcoming K-drama adaptation of time-traveling Chinese romance novel Bu Bu Jing Xin (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) is certainly going for visual oomph. At least for male lead Lee Jun Ki, what with the bangs taking front and center in all the stills I’ve seen of him as 4th Prince. He looks fantastic in this brooding Goryeo dark … Continue reading →

K-Bu Bu Jin Xin with Lee Jun Ki and IU Confirms Broadcast Date of Monday August 29th on SBS

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 5, 2016 by ockoalaMay 5, 2016
Five celebrities at a red carpet event.

Airing time is now confirmed for the much anticipated K-drama adaptation of well known Chinese time-traveling romance novel Bu Bu Jing Xin ((Startling with Each Step). It’s been four years since C-dramas adapted BBJX into the drama version with the English title of Scarlet Heart and starring Nicky Wu and now real life wife Liu Shi Shi. The K-version called Bobogyungsim: … Continue reading →

EXO, Yoo Ah In, and Hyeri Lead the 2016 Forbes Korea Top 40 Celebrity Power Rankings

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 27, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 27, 2016
K-pop groups and celebrities in various poses.

The list is out for Forbes Korea magazine’s annual ranking of the 40 Most Powerful Celebrities, a ranking that takes into account a whole host of factors including buzz, name recognition, successful projects, number of CFs, and so forth. I hope to forestall useless arguing since just because you/he/she think your oppa or unni is the most popular person on … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki is Equally Charming Whether Stern or Smiling as 4th Prince in K-Bu Bu Jing Xin

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 16, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 16, 2016
Person sitting on rocks, smiling outdoors.

I’m a little surprised at the strong reactions to the first filming stills of leads Lee Jun Ki and IU in the upcoming K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin. Whereas the original novel was set in the more structured confines of the Qing dynasty, and may have made more sense if the K-version moved the setting to the similar era … Continue reading →

First Look at 4th Prince and Time-traveling Heroine Filming K-Bu Bu Jing Xin

The goodies for the upcoming K-drama adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin keep on coming despite the drama being fully pre-filmed and not airing until much later this year. I’m totally not complaining, all I worry about is this drama not delivering to expectation and/or running out of steam. The first filming stills have been released and features leads IU … Continue reading →

Kang Ha Neul Looks Serious and Princely in Costume as K-version Bu Bu Jing Xin

I think imma going to like the stylings of Korean Bu Bu Jing Xin (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) now that I’ve seen the third of the first series of looks. Following on the heels of sneak peeks at leads Lee Jun Ki and IU in costume at the prayer ceremony, the production released the character costume fitting stills of second male lead … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and IU Shine in Period Costume at Prayer Ceremony for K-Bu Bu Jing Xin

Hhhhhmmmmm, looking good, leads of Korean Bu Bu Jing Xin! I can breathe a sigh of relief now that the first peek at the two leads of upcoming K-BBJX (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) can be glimpsed thanks to the prayer ceremony stills. I don’t know why this drama is still being referred to as Moon Lovers in some articles, that was a … Continue reading →

Korean BBJX Cast and More Stars Attend VIP Movie Premiere to Support Kang Ha Neul

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 5, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 5, 2016
Two people waving at an event.

The stars were out at the VIP premiere for indie Korean movie Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet, and the presence mostly skewed young thanks to the headlining star that is Kang Ha Neul. Kang Ha Neul had half of his Korean Bu Bu Jung Xin onscreen brothers on hand to support him from Lee Jun Ki, Hong Jong Hyun, … Continue reading →

The Cast of K-Bu Bu Jing Xin Decked Out in Period Costumes for Prayer Ceremony

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 28, 2016 by ockoalaJanuary 27, 2016
Collage of a drama poster and actors.

The princes of the C-drama version of Bu Bu Jing Xin were all saddled with the unfortunate Qing dynasty male queue hairstyle, but luckily were sporting colorful luxuriously embroidered threads that befit their royal position and helped to quickly identify each one. Looks like the K-drama version is doing the same as the first picture of the cast in costume … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and IU Lead the Script Reading Session for K-Bu Bu Jing Xin

Holy cuteness alert! The first stills are here from the production of upcoming Korean Bu Bu Jing Xin and it’s courtesy of the supremely eye candy filled script reading session. Bobogyungsim: Ryeo (Bu Bu Jing Xin: Splendor) won’t air until the second half of the year (I’m guessing September 2016) after being fully pre-produced and having gotten SARFT approval so the … Continue reading →

K-Bu Bu Jing Xin Preps Filming as Lee Jun Ki Snaps Pic with Kang Na Neul and Kim Sung Kyun While IU in Taiwan for Fan Meeting

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2016 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2016
Three friends posing happily for a selfie.

I’m always impressed at how hardworking and seemingly tireless some entertainers are. Case in point is Lee Jun Ki, other than his two year military service hiatus, he’s a nonstop star toggling both an acting and singing career, and doing so with an upbeat positive attitude. I feel like he just finished Scholar Who Walks the Night yet here he … Continue reading →

A Look at the Chinese Versus Korean Casts of Bu Bu Jing Xin

Grid of various male portraits and headshots.

I’m not sure why I remain so optimistic about the upcoming K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin, other than I’m most likely still not jaded as a drama watcher and enjoy the excitement of happy anticipation. Even though I love the novel and C-drama adaptation to pieces, neither are masterpieces without flaws, and what makes them so near and dear … Continue reading →
