The metaphor for Gong Hyo Jin‘s character name Dong Baek being the camellia flower is carried over in the drama title When the Camellia Blooms.

I know Kang Ha Neul went to the military for two years and just got back but he totally threw me for a loop in the first teasers for the upcoming drama When the Camellia Blooms by looking just like his dorky character in the coming-of-age movie Twenty. In the first teaser, he runs and runs and arrives at Gong … Continue reading →

Two individuals posing for photos at events.

I was a little skeptical with the pairing of this upcoming KBS drama but I have such faith in leading lady Gong Hyo Jin to generate chemistry with anymore including young male lead Kang Ha Neul. He’s back from military service a few months ago and this month has dived into filming When Camellia Blooms opposite Gong Hyo Jin. The … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 15, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 14, 2018
Three soldiers saluting together in uniform.

I feel like Ji Chang Wook and Kang Ha Neul are having a complete blast serving their military enlistment.

This time they get … Continue reading →

Four friends celebrating a soldier's achievement.

Normally when a male Korean star heads into military service it’s with the expectation that the army will whip them into shape and emerge manlier than before. That’s why it’s pretty funny and cute that idol-actor Taecyeon enlisted in the army last month and appeared to have turned back into a young boy.

Young man laughing happily outdoors.

Nothing like heading off for mandatory military service with an extra publicity boost, even if it’s the overwrought K-netizen furor over a dating rumor.
