Jang Geun Seok Lounges Around Paris for the October Issue of Bazaar Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 20, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 19, 2012

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to Jang Geun Seok‘s career had he not starred in You’re Beautiful. That drama may have tanked in domestic ratings, but was a raging overseas success that catapulted Jang Geun Seok into widespread recognition. It also introduced the world to crazy hair/attire Jang Geun Seok, a sort of cross between a Johnny and … Continue reading →

Jang Geun Seok Rocks Taipei Arena with Flair

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 6, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 5, 2012

I can’t take Jang Geun Seok seriously anymore. I haven’t written him off, because a boy that immensely talented as an actor cannot simply be written off being he’s apparently going through what appears to be a phase. At least that’s what I’m hoping it is, because if he continues down this path of doing shitty dramas and holding money-making … Continue reading →

The Curious Case of the Amazing Class of 87ers

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2012 by ockoalaApril 21, 2012

I’ve had this post percolating since forever, but there was one hold out on it that made me iffy. Finally, at long last and really I shouldn’t be surprised, I have fallen madly for the charm of a certain Prince-turned-reluctant-King. With that, I can officially say that I adore the majority of the class of actors and actresses born in … Continue reading →

Love Rain with Jang Geun Seok and Yoona Premieres this Monday on KBS

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 25, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 24, 2012

When I saw the picture above, the first thing I yelped was “OMG, no way Lee Mi Sook plays the aged older version of Yoona‘s character from the 70s?!?” And then of course, a quick check confirms that, indeed, 70s version of Yoona’s character turns into Lee Mi Sook in 2012. I hope this is one of those casting specifically … Continue reading →

Love Rain Releases Stills for the Modern Portion Plus New Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 14, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 14, 2012

I appear to have a Jang Geun Seok radar, because every time I discuss him with a certain lady who rhymes with MickeyD, voila, new stuff comes out about him. The filming for PD Yoon Seok Ho‘s upcoming melodrama Love Rain has resumed filming again for the modern sequence. Leading man Jang Geun Seok sports a brand spanking new hairdo … Continue reading →

Love Rain Releases Official Stills and Drama Website Opens

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 2, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 2, 2012

I was so moo-ry last night a bunch of friends texted me to make sure I wasn’t about to leap off the proverbial balcony. Moo-ry is a word used in the Koala household, it means to be mopey and crabby. What can I say, I like coining my own lingo. One friend said this “Now you know how I feel … Continue reading →

Love Rain Airs First Look at the KBS Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2011

Let’s just be honest here and accept that Love Rain with Jang Geun Seok and Yoona will be making buttaloadsa of moolah regardless of whether it turns out good or a teeming piece of crap. It has already been presold to tons of Asian countries, and the Japanese obasan audience is primed for a Yoon Seok Ho drama starring the … Continue reading →

Love Rain Releases New Stills of Leads Jang Geun Seok and Yoona

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 9, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 9, 2011

Jang Geun Seok has fallen into a niche of playing artistic types in project after project, even if the profession ranges from musician to dancer and now to painter. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I sorta miss emo-Prince Chang Hwe and his ilk, the poker-faced emotionally-damaged type. For the upcoming Love Rain (which I always associate with some … Continue reading →

Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye are Striking for the Codes Combine Winter CF

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 22, 2011

Remember those flat and rather lifeless Winter Codes Combine pictures I brought of Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye a few weeks ago here? Well, I’m happy to report the company released a short video CF and the same photo shoot now pops and sizzles. I’m not surprised, since Seok always comes alive in motion, and here he’s pouting … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Seok for the Winter 2011 Codes Combine Collection

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 7, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 7, 2011

The first pictorial for the Winter 2011 collection of Codes Combine are out, and the spokescouple for the brand (since the Fall collection) are the reunited Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye since their You’re Beautiful days. I do like these pictures, but can’t help but wish they were better. The dead looking Wintry background looks fake, and the … Continue reading →

You Are My Pet Holds VIP Movie Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 2, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2011

I don’t thinks it’s possible for Jang Geun Seok to pick a fuglier look than what he rocked for the You’re My Pet VIP movie premiere. He even get bonus ugly points for how badly he managed to clash with co-star Kim Ha Neul, who will be winning no fashion awards herself. For two very good looking people, they sure … Continue reading →

Official OST MV Released for You Are My Pet Sung by Jang Geun Seok and Kim Ha Neul

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 26, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2011

What did I say about You’re My Pet being an unrelenting and incessant barrage of promotional materials? At least this time we’re getting some pretty good stuff, with the release of the official MV from the OST song sung by leads Jang Geun Seok and Kim Ha Neul. I think it’s sweet they are singing the OST song, but I … Continue reading →

You Are My Pet Releases Full Trailer as the Movie Gears up for a November Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 24, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 24, 2011

Jang Geun Seok and Kim Ha Neul’s upcoming rom-com You’re My Pet is premiering in Korean in a few weeks, but I feel like the movie has been filming forever and the stars have been promoting it for equally as long. I was never interested in the manga premise, and add to that a consistent diet of YMP news, it … Continue reading →
