A Koala's Playground Posted on July 7, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 6, 2016
Three men posing together for a photo.

This is a well deserved drama filming wrap party as any, with the full cast of upcoming K-adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin attending a shindig after a good 7 long months of filming. The fully pre-produced drama is schedule to air on SBS Mon-Tues at the end of August following Doctors, and will also air simultaneously in China for … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki’s Having a Bloody Good Time Along with Full Cast in Official Character Posters for K-Bu Bu Jing Xin

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 4, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 4, 2016
Movie poster featuring two contrasting characters.

One of these things is not like the others is my first reaction upon seeing the just released official character posters for the Korean drama version of Bu Bu Jing Xin. The concerted effort to distinguish male lead Lee Jun Ki‘s 4th Prince, from the C-drama version’s understated steely scholar and also from the other princes in the K-version called … Continue reading →

Ji Soo is a Bad Boy Biker Crush to Park Shin Hye in Latest Doctors Drama Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 13, 2016 by ockoalaJune 13, 2016
Intense moment between two people in urban setting.

Well, this certainly is a nice way to amp up excitement for upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, not that I personally need anymore flame fanning since I’m already super stoked. The first stills are out of Ji Soo playing a supporting role, more like a guest starring turn, playing an important someone in female lead Park Shin Hye‘s character Hye … Continue reading →

Official Poster and First Exciting Teaser Video for K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin

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

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 5, 2016 by ockoalaJune 3, 2016

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 →

K-Bu Bu Jing Xin Showcases Ji Soo as 14th Prince and Kang Hana as a Goryeo Princess

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 30, 2016 by ockoalaMay 29, 2016
Historical drama scene with two characters.

It’s a two-fer this week with two new looks at the sprawling cast of Korean adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin (Startling with each Step). I loved seeing Nam Joo Hyuk in character as the renaissance Prince 13th, with good hair and a refined demeanor. Now comes Ji Soo playing the brash young 14th Prince, the role that launched C-actor … Continue reading →

Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye Lead the Script Reading for SBS Drama Doctors

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2016 by ockoalaMay 12, 2016
Group of actors during a rehearsal session.

I never thought I’d see Park Shin Hye in a doctor genre drama, and conversely I’ve wondered why Kim Rae Won hasn’t done one yet since all his generational male colleagues have wielded the scalpel already. Filming started on upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors (formerly Female Gangster Hye Jung) last week and now the production has released the script reading stills … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye’s Doctors Male Harem Grows with Addition of Ji Soo, Yoon Kyun Sang, and Kim Min Suk

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 6, 2016 by ockoalaApril 6, 2016
Black and white portrait of a stylish man.

Likely nothing will top IU‘s collection of flower men in the upcoming K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo), but it’s certainly nice for Park Shin Hye to get up there in the number of gorgeous male actors surrounding her in the next drama. SBS has signed on Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won for neurology medical drama … Continue reading →

Four Stylish Fashion Tastes of Ji Soo in K Wave Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 27, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 25, 2016
Man in tuxedo holding a glass of wine.

I still remember a year ago when Ji Soo was still a no name newbie before his breakout rookie performance in Angry Mom, back then finding pictorials of him was near impossible and definitely a rare treat. His meteoric rise this year has yielded a steady stream of fashion spreads whether in CFs or magazine stills, and invariably every single … Continue reading →

Two young men taking a selfie together.

There is a new bromance in K-town, whether it was created from reel to real or vice-versa it doesn’t matter because both are just so sweet together. Rising actors Nam Joo Hyuk and Ji Soo have been gallivanting from drama set to events around town and posting SNS updates ever since filming started on the Korean drama adaptation of Bu … Continue reading →

Teaser for Kim So Hyun and Ji Soo’s Page Turner Featuring Intense Piano Playing Amid Rivalry and Friendship

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 8, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 8, 2016
"Promotional poster for 'Page Turner' drama."

I love screenwriter Park Hye Ryun so it’s bittersweet that she’s coming back this month with a new K-drama but it’s only going to be a short three episode special. If anyone can deliver something short and sweet it’s her, so many of Park Hye Ryun’s successful dramas like I Hear Your Voice and Pinocchio all made huge impressions in … Continue reading →

Bromance Magnet Ji Soo Visits Yoo Ah In and Byun Yo Han on the Set of Six Flying Dragons

Group selfie featuring three smiling men.

Ji Soo is basically turning into not only a hot rising actor, he’s also racking up K-ent bromances onscreen and offscreen at a meteoric pace. First there was Angry Mom followed by Sassy Go Go, in both dramas he’s got a bromance thing going on, in AM with Ji Hyun Woo and later with Lee Won Geun in SGG. Next … Continue reading →

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

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 →
