A Koala's Playground Posted on February 14, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 15, 2013

The first stills of the upcoming weekend K-drama The Best Lee Soon Shin are out. The drama is scheduled to premiere on March 9th taking over the time slot from the ratings juggernaut My Daughter Seo Young so this sounds just about right.

Jo Jung Seok and IU Confirmed for Weekend Drama The Best Lee Soon Shin

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 31, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 30, 2013

I love it when my casting rumors turn out to be true, especially when its a pairing that is different and intriguing. I posted about IU and Jo Jung Seok being wooed for the leads of the upcoming weekend drama The Best Lee Soon Shin over a month ago and everyone got all excited despite it being merely a possibility. … Continue reading →

The Always Adorable Jo Jung Seok for High Cut Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 24, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 24, 2013

Recently coming across new pictures of Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi promoting The King 2 Hearts brings back such fond memories of that drama, and intertwined in all those memories are of the adorable and talented Jo Jung Seok who played the unforgettable Eun Shi Kyung, the slightly stodgy and incredibly earnest King’s guard. I pile hope upon … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 4, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 4, 2013

The preliminary 2013 K-drama lists are out from the broadcast networks, with some dramas and castings confirmed and others toggling around from earlier rumors. For example, the period drama Flower and Sword that was rumored to be courting Kim Nam Gil has now switched over to courting Song Seung Heon. Oh boy to that one. The current KBS weekend drama … Continue reading →

Koala Faves Rocked the Fashion Red Carpet at the Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2012

First off, Happy New Year to everyone! Of course that also means it’s drama awards time in Korea, with the three big networks trotting out their ratings successes to foist random meaningless awards on. When I first started watching dramas I used to wonder why the winners of the awards have almost zero correlation with the quality of their acting … Continue reading →

Jo Jung Seok Films Taiwan Tourism Promotional Mini-movie with Ivy Chen

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 1, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 30, 2012

Looks like Ivy Chen is continuing her quest to star opposite as many hot K-actors as possible. Following her turn opposite Super Junior‘s Choi Si Won and Lee Donghae in Skip Beat, she followed that up with a C-drama with Chun Jung Myung earlier this year. She’s been filming successive C-dramas in China all year but last month she went back … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 8, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 2, 2013

This is about as high wattage as it gets for movie premieres in South Korea. The upcoming Joseon-era sageuk movie Gwanghae: The Man Who Became King (English title Masquerade) starring Lee Byung Hun, Han Hyo Joo, and Ryu Seung Ryong held its star-stubbed movie premiere in Seoul this week which was attended by a veritable who’s who of actors young … Continue reading →

Thieves Holds Star-Studded Movie Premiere in Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2012 by ockoalaJuly 14, 2012

The star-studded caper movie Thieves held its media movie premiere in Korea this week, and in attendance was a coterie of K-stars even more high wattage than usual. That’s not surprising since the movie cast itself consists of some top-notch star power – Kim Yoon Seok, Lee Jung Jae, Kim Hye Soo, Jeon Ji Hyun, Kim Hae Sook, Kim Soo … Continue reading →

Jo Jung Seok and Lee Hyun Woo Join Kim Soo Hyun in Undercover Spy Movie

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2012 by ockoalaJune 22, 2012

Due to a change in PD, filming has been pushed back from July on the upcoming K-movie Covertly Grandly (also translated as Secretive and Great) starring Kim Soo Hyun as a North Korean undercover operative stationed in rural South Korea. Based on a popular Korean webtoon of the same name, this story apparently toggles both the comedy and intensity with … Continue reading →

Adorable Jo Jung Seok Pictures to Brighten the Day

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 27, 2012 by ockoalaMay 26, 2012

What more need I say about Jo Jung Seok. This has been a phenomenal two years for him, transitioning from stage to screen almost seamlessly. He was a memorable part of the What’s Up? ensemble, he was a scene stealer in the movie Introduction to Architecture, and we all agree he was perfectly perfect as the earnest Eun Shi Kyung … Continue reading →

The Cast of The King 2 Hearts Attend End of Drama Celebration

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 26, 2012 by ockoalaMay 25, 2012

Nothing quite says “it’s over” like pictures from the end of drama banquet celebration. The cast and crew of The King 2 Hearts happily gathered to eat and toast a job well done. And filming must’ve really been on a bearable schedule because no one showed up looking exhausted and about to topple over, as is the case in many … Continue reading →
