It’s not exactly awards season yet in K-ent but the chips are falling as expected even for the one-off awards event such as the just held APAN Star Awards sponsored by the Daejeon Drama Festival. The big winner was Descendants of the Sun, taking home Best Drama, as well as its male lead Song Joong Ki, sweeping up the Daesang, adding … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 24, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 23, 2015
Two women posing for a selfie.

It’s so cute when celebrities recognize their own lookalikes, it saves fans the trouble of doing double takes. Last week Sistar‘s Bora ran into K-actress Han Chae Young at an event and the two took a selfie asking their fans if they could pass as sisters. The answer is “totally”, and their not the only Korean entertains to have lookalikes … Continue reading →

This pictorial feels like one of those perfect timing pairings – the right moment with the right mood. Jung So Min is in the pages of the December issue of InStyle Korea modeling a series of modernized Victorian garb that fits seamlessly with the winter dawning winter aura. I’ve tabled her current cable drama D-Day for when I feel like … Continue reading →

Disaster Drama D-Day Releases Intense First Teaser and Character Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 27, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 26, 2015
Nine characters with diverse expressions and attire.

Consider me optimistically impressed with the latest round of substantive peeks at upcoming jTBC disaster drama D-Day. Just the concept alone is worth checking out, leaving the typical K-drama genres behind and embracing a gritty urgent story about medical professionals responding to a major disaster striking Seoul. US shows have done this to death and back but K-dramas rarely tread … Continue reading →

Jung So Min is an Indoor Beach Beauty for the July Issue of Sure Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 24, 2015
Woman with wet hair and bright pink lips.

This is entirely a Jung So Min visual admiring post, one that isn’t that hard to write when she looks so stunning in the July summer issue of Sure magazine. Some pictorials are to hawk wares such as watches, jewelry, purses, and of course clothes, but here I think it’s a makeup targeted shoot since her outfit is hardly seen … Continue reading →

Lee Min Ho and Moon Chae Won Lead the K-stars Attending the 19th Annual Bucheon Film Festival

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 17, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 17, 2015
Two celebrities at a pink-themed event.

This is one of the smaller film festivals in Korea but the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BiFan) actually celebrated it’s 19th year holding the event this week. Not bad for a film festival held in one of the smaller cities in South Korea and with a smaller niche of fantasy movies such as supernatural, horror, and mystery. BiFan still … Continue reading →

Fashion Fail Bottoms Make Double Appearance in the Same Week on K-ent Starlets

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 13, 2015 by ockoalaMay 13, 2015
Fashionable individuals at an airport.

When there is a pants fashion fail in the same week in K-ent, I can only hope it’s a coincidence but worry that it’s heralding a trend. A terrible eyesore of a trend that should have died off in the 80’s and 90’s. Minor celeb Yoo Seung Ok, who is famous for being a sports trainer and flaunting her body … Continue reading →

Kim Woo Bin Leads a Smaller Parade of Stars at the 16th Jeonju International Film Festival

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 10, 2015 by ockoalaMay 9, 2015
Two celebrities waving at a film festival.

Last week was the opening ceremony of the 16th annual Jeonju International Film Festival (JIFF), the second largest film festival in Korea but still a ways away from the star-studded glitz of the largest film festival in the Busan. JIFF may be smaller but still screens dozens of movies through a ten day period, and lately has more indie cred … Continue reading →

Kang Ji Hwan Leads the Cast and Crew of Well-received Big Man at Drama Wrap Party

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 18, 2014 by ockoalaJune 17, 2014

The happy and proud cast and crew of the just ended KBS Mon-Tues drama Big Man hied themselves off to a cast wrap party on Tuesday as the drama prepared to air its final episode. What can I say about Big Man? It wasn’t great but it had heart, and more importantly, it stuck to its guns and told a … Continue reading →

Jung So Min Goes Back to the 60’s with Her Big Man Oppa Daniel Choi for Allure Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 30, 2014 by ockoalaMay 30, 2014

I find the character set-up in Big Man quite odd in the sense that the pairings are off has extended to the promotion for the drama featuring Jung So Min and Daniel Choi posing together in a recent issue of Allure Korea magazine. Don’t get me wrong, I freaking love this photo spread with a 60’s theme presented in an … Continue reading →

Jin Ah Plans a Hilarious Birthday Celebration with Her Non-oppa Ji Hyuk in Episode 7 of Big Man

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 19, 2014 by ockoalaMay 19, 2014

My enjoyment of Big Man remains tied to how many Kang Ji Hwan and Jung So Min scenes are in each episode. Currently it’s still one major scene and episode but it’s always something so entertaining I find myself laughing out loud and loving every second of it. Their chemistry is so good I hope they get another drama together … Continue reading →

First Impressions of Big Man with Kang Ji Hwan Reveals a Promising Drama Despite its Far-fetched Premise

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 30, 2014 by ockoalaApril 30, 2014

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s safe to watch Big Man airing on KBS Mon-Tues. The central premise is so ridiculous the entire drama almost sinks under it by the end of episode 1, but episode 2 turns it all around big time and suddenly all bets are off. It’s such a delight to watch … Continue reading →
