Script Reading Stills for Born Again with Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 19, 2020 by ockoalaFebruary 18, 2020
Three actors holding script covers together.

Looks like the leads are getting warmed up for filming on the upcoming K-drama Born Again, and perhaps twice around the block is needed as everyone is playing two characters. Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk are the love triangle and conflicted trio who cross paths in the 1980s and are reincarnated into present day 2020 … Continue reading →

Jin Se Yeon Confirmed as Female Lead in KBS Drama Born Again Opposite Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 2, 2020 by ockoalaFebruary 2, 2020
Three people posing at an event.

I think her track record speaks for itself so maybe this isn’t the best casting for either side. Jin Se Yeon, currently starring in hit cable sageuk Selection: The War Between Women, has confirmed as the female lead role in upcoming KBS reincarnation thriller drama Born Again. The two male leads are confirmed to be Jang Ki Yong and Lee … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2020 by ockoalaJanuary 21, 2020
Two men in stylish outfits posing.

Woah, this is a really interesting pairing and story. K-actor Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk are in talks for an April 2020 K-drama titled Born Again, which deals with reincarnation and scary serial killer action. Jang Ki Yong will be playing a detective and Lee Soo Hyuk will be medical student/serial killer. Together with the female lead, the … Continue reading →

Jang Ki Yong to Hold First Fan Meeting and Confirmed for K-drama Youth Record with Park So Dam

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2019 by ockoalaNovember 22, 2019
Jang Ki Yong's first fan meeting promotional image.

It’s nice to see a rising actor vault to the level of being able to hold a fan meeting and such is the case with Jang Ki Yong. I, and probably many drama viewers, noticed him playing the rough baddie in My Ahjusshi because he was so awful and hot at the same time lol. He’s since gone on to … Continue reading →

Top K-movie Stars Attend Hammer Museum Gala as Bong Joon Ho’s Movie Parasite Premieres in US to Rave Reviews and High Box Office

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 14, 2019 by ockoalaOctober 14, 2019
Group of friends enjoying a night out.

I see a movie in the making, or at least a tableau that typically only happens in the backstage and after party of the Baeksang Awards. K-actress Im Soo Jung posted a picture on her SNS attending a party with famous film stars Ha Jung Woo and Jo Jin Woong, along with rising young actors Park So Dam and Jang … Continue reading →

Kim Hye Ja and Jung Woo Sung Take Home the Drama and Movie Daesangs at the 2019 Baeksang Arts Award

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 2, 2019 by ockoalaMay 2, 2019
Award winners celebrating on stage together.

The 2019 Baeksang Arts Award was actually good for once, the winners moreso than the fashion which remains an uninspiring and safe sea of black and white gowns. Veteran queen Kim Hye Ja deservingly took home the Daesang (Grand Prize) for the television drama section for her performance as the older female lead in The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). … Continue reading →

Jang Ki Yong and Nana Will Either Shoot Each Other or Make Out in Drama Posters for OCN Thriller Kill It

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 5, 2019 by ockoalaMarch 5, 2019
Action duo in stylish dark coats.

I’m sure the intention behind the posters for OCN drama Kill It is that the two leads are adversarial and on a cat-and-mouse type game with guns drawn. But I’m totally getting the vibe instead that leads Jang Ki Yong and Nana are thisclose to making out with so much heavy tension between them. He’s the contract killer and she’s … Continue reading →

Jang Ki Yong and Nana are Intense and Charismatic in Character Posters for OCN Drama Kill It

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 24, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 23, 2019
"Two posters for the drama 'Kill It'"

Of the two breakout K-drama male actors last year, namely Jang Ki Yong in My Ahjusshi and Woo Do Hwan in The Great Seducer, this year both are in higher profile drama lead territory and I’m curious to see who picks better projects. Jang Ki Yong will arrive first with OCN thriller Kill It, pairing up with Nana as a … Continue reading →

Jang Ki Yong Nails the Smexy Killer Vibe in First Teaser for OCN Drama Kill It

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 17, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 19, 2019
Action scenes from a suspenseful drama series.

I felt the drama title for OCN thriller Kill It was a tad too over but when I hear male lead Jang Ki Yong say “Kill it” in the teaser it totally brought shivers down my spine. Kill It continues the OCN strength with genre dramas and this one promotes to leading man status two very good looking young actors … Continue reading →

First Look at Jang Ki Yong and Nana in OCN Drama Kill It

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 12, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 13, 2019
Actors at a scripted reading session.

K-actor Jang Ki Yong is clearly primed to be the next It Boy in drama land and I’m fine with that. He toiled in bit parts and supporting roles for four years before his breakout as one of the antagonists in tvN drama My Ahjusshi and followed that up with his first leading role in the low rated Come and … Continue reading →

So Ji Sub Takes Home the 2018 MBC Drama Awards Daesang for Terius Behind Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2018 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2018
Man in tuxedo making heart gesture.

MBC got a head start on its year end drama awards, holding the 2018 shindig on December 30th to cap out a relatively lackluster ratings and hit year for the network. Probably the most prominent hit was Wed-Thurs drama Terius Behind Me (My Secret Terius) with So Ji Sub so it’s no surprise the actor was award the Daesang (Grand … Continue reading →

Asia Artist Awards 2018 Delivers True Popularity Contest Winners and Typical K-fashion Styles

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 29, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 28, 2018
Four women in elegant evening gowns.

The Asia Artist Awards are the true purveyors of a popularity contest and if it wasn’t for actors and actresses getting random awards along with the idol and pop stars I’d probably not cover it. This year the highlight was the four very very famous idol-actresses above showing up at the same event – IU in white, Suzy in grey-moss, … Continue reading →

Krystal and Other K-stars Swallowed by Fashion Fail at Ferragamo Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 2, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2018
Woman in blue blazer poses confidently.

We may have a new ignominious winner of the worst dressed K-celeb star event this time thanks to the burn your eyeball pairing with Italian couture brand Salvatore Ferragamo. Of the four attendees idol-actres Krystal was by far the worst dressed and I reckon she was just given the Ferragomo outfit and told to put it on because it fit her … Continue reading →
