Entertainer Makes it Hip to be Square in Official Drama Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2016 by ockoalaApril 18, 2016
K-drama promotional poster with main characters.

There’s a wonderfully comforting vibe about Entertainer and it’s not something easily explainable. I just get the feels with the teasers and stills, and now the official drama posters seal the deal. Love, love, love the slightly retro colors and a square sentiment around it. Ji Sung looks so earnest as the fallen music man trying to reclaim his industry … Continue reading →

Entertainer Looks Vastly Entertaining with Minty Throwback Posters and Dramatic New Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 14, 2016 by ockoalaApril 14, 2016
Cast of the Korean drama "Ddangta."

I’ve definitively found the first choice in my next K-drama to follow and it’s Entertainer thanks to the latest preview showing scenes from the first episode. It looks so earnest and entertaining (pardon the title pun), with Ji Sung owning the screen as he alternates between put upon and extending a life line. With the end of Please Come Back … Continue reading →

Ji Sung Has Chemistry with Everyone in New Stills and Teaser for SBS Drama Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 13, 2016 by ockoalaApril 13, 2016
Couple sharing an intimate moment together.

I bow at the awesome altar of Ji Sung, how can he so effortlessly sell so many different interactions? I suppose it’s not a surprise since he convincingly sold 7 different personalities in Kill Me Heal Me, but in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Entertainer he’s oozing connection with all three costars Hyeri, Chae Jung Ahn, and Kang Min Hyuk. Maybe … Continue reading →

Ji Sung’s Entertainer Releases More Drama Stills and Second Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 8, 2016 by ockoalaApril 8, 2016
Two men in a beach-side confrontation.

Excited is an understatement anticipating Ji Sung‘s drama land return in over a year since Kill Me Heal Me. He’s the primary reason the music industry drama Entertainer even looks interesting at all for me, him and a side of cutie pie Kang Min Hyuk. The female leads in Hyeri and Chae Jung Ahn are less exciting than watching Ji … Continue reading →

Ji Sung and Hyeri Dance into Audience Hearts in First Teaser for Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 31, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 31, 2016
Two people posing playfully with peace signs.

I don’t know how I feel about the character arrangements in SBS new drama Entertainer, but I do know that I unabashedly love the just released first teaser. Only two of the four leads make their appearance as music agency president Ji Sung vogues and then shimmy and shakes in a convenience store after encountering dance bug bitten Hyeri. Despite … Continue reading →

Entertainer with Ji Sung and Hyeri Release Script Reading Stills and Starts Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 30, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 30, 2016
Group of actors in a script reading session.

It’s a bit of a late start to filming for upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Entertainer, but as a modern piece it likely needs less prep work. Starring Ji Sung, Hyeri of Girl’s Day, CNBLUE‘s Kang Min Hyuk, and Chae Jung Ahn, the music industry drama genre isn’t new to SBS as the network attempted it in the summer of ’14 … Continue reading →

SBS Locks Down Entertainer with Leads Ji Sung, Hyeri, Kang Min Hyuk, and Chae Jung Ahn

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 21, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 20, 2016
Three individuals posing for a photo together.

SBS has locked down the cast for its next Wed-Thurs drama and not a moment too soon. Entertainer premieres at the end of April after Please Come Back Ahjussi and even if it’s a modern drama there is still time needed to get ahead of the live filming crush. The drama confirmed male lead Ji Sung last week, a major … Continue reading →

Ji Sung and Kang Min Hyuk Confirmed for SBS Drama Entertainer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 17, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 17, 2016

At this point SBS needs to look forward to its next Wed-Thurs drama and just ignore the ratings for the next 4 weeks. I’m definitely checking out the scheduled music industry drama Entertainer for sure now that male lead Ji Sung has confirmed his casting. Even if younger male lead hopeful Park Bo Gum turned his role down to headline … Continue reading →

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

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 26, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 26, 2016
Three stylish women posing in fashionable outfits.

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 →

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 17, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 17, 2016
Man in a stylish black coat, serious pose.

Kyaaaaa, such perfect timing to drop an exhilarating drama casting news to get over the midweek hump. Breaking news is even better in twos, especially if it involves two of my fave actors. Ji Sung and Park Bo Gum are in talks for upcoming SBS drama Entertainer. Ji Sung and Park Bo Gum, now I need to pinch myself. The … Continue reading →

 A big thanks to MBC for starting off the year end drama awards procession off right.

JI Sung Performs Live Sets at Seoul Fan Meeting

K-actor Ji Sung hasn’t been doing a full paternity leave from his acting career like his actress wife Lee Bo Young did after the arrival of their baby girl earlier this year. He hasn’t done a major acting project since wrapping Kill Me Heal Me way back in February, but back then it wasn’t just settling down to prepare for … Continue reading →

MBC 2015 Drama Daesang Likely to Come Down to Ji Sung, Hwang Jung Eum, and Jeon In Hwa

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 15, 2015
Three celebrities posing for a photoshoot.

Every year the three major Korean networks hold its own year end drama awards, not exactly what could be deemed objective but is certainly their own prerogative to do so. The K-ent pundits enjoy speculating as to who will watch away with the Daesang (Big Prize) of the night, and the first wave is here as one news report is … Continue reading →
