It’s tvN for the win in landing two prominent names for another serious thriller type drama. The network has confirmed Ji Chang Wook for K2, and joining him as one of the female leads is veteran actress Song Yoon Ah. Another younger actress is in talks to be the other female lead, most likely as the love interest to the … Continue reading →

tvN Deciding Between Time-traveling Drama with Lee Min Ki and Shin Mina or Action Drama K2 with Ji Chang Wook

Woah, now this is what I call a double whammy. Not only is casting a shocker but even the decision between two dramas comes as a surprise for me. Cable network tvN is dealing with what must be a decision of greats, namely that either seems promising and inking both would be the smart movie. The network is scheduling its … Continue reading →

K-actor Hairstyle Preferences: Up with Forehead or Down with Fringe

I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →

After releasing the list of current most popular K-dramas in China, polling site Vlinkage is back with the Top 30 list of most popular Korean male and female stars, respectively. Some are long time regulars on any Korean star popularity list while others are a surprise to me but adds diversity to this list. On the male side, the most … Continue reading →

Six Times Fashion Fail as Popular K-stars Attend Eclectic Gentle Monster Runway Show

It’s quite the ensemble of fashion fail that gathered in Seoul this week for the 2016 collection from brand Gentle Monster. Some may love the eclectic looks but every single major star in attendance crossed that fine line between fashionably kooky and fashionably silly. Sadly it’s all stars I like so I couldn’t help but cringe and keep on clicking … Continue reading →

I don’t follow any brands, whatever the product it’s selling, so on occasion when I post about CFs it’s in relation to the spokesperson selected for that particular campaign who happens to be a star I like quite a lot. With that said, following an industry like K-ent for so many years, some things linger in the periphery of the … Continue reading →

Stars Descend on the 2015 TV Drama Awards Honoring the Best of Mainland Chinese Dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 5, 2016 by ockoalaJanuary 5, 2016
Multiple award winners at a ceremony.

This weekend in Beijing was the 7th Annual TV Drama Awards, showcasing the splashiest and buzziest Mainland Chinese dramas of 2015. I would say best of the bunch but so many award categories seem to be based on popularity even in the description alone. There wasn’t a Best Drama category but ten C-dramas from 2015 was honored for being the … Continue reading →

It’s so cute when celebrities recognize their own lookalikes, it saves fans the trouble of doing double takes.

Consider me impressed by Ji Chang Wook’s career expansion into Mainland China. It’s certainly following in similar footsteps of other popular Hallyu stars, heading there to do dramas, singing, or model after a hit K-drama or movie opens the floodgates of recognition. In Ji Chang Wook’s case it’s all due to the one-two punch of Empress Ki and Healer, but … Continue reading →

Idol singers moving into acting, whether in limited capacity or a full time career switch, isn’t newsworthy since it’s been going on for so long and continues unabated. The converse is rarer but appears to be happening more often as the line blurs and all fans want is more of their favorite stars in whatever medium. Two well known Hallyu … Continue reading →
