Adorable Kim Bum and Jung Eun Ji in That Winter, The Wind Blows

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 19, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 19, 2013

I like both leads of That Winter, The Wind Blows, and their characters and interactions are definitely compelling and rife with potential for sucking me in. With that said, while Jo In Sung and Song Hye Kyo are getting all the attention in the drama since they are such mega-stars and they are indeed both doing a splendid job of … Continue reading →

Final Teaser and Official Poster and Character Stills for That Winter, The Wind Blows

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 11, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 11, 2013

A good melodrama takes a central conceit and fleshes it out, allowing the narrative to morph as the characters develop and information is shared. A bad melodrama beats its one main purpose into the ground and stomps on it a few times just in cast we couldn’t tell what it was about. And in between these two extremes lays the … Continue reading →

That Winter, The Wind Blows Releases Riveting 9-minute Long Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 3, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 9, 2013

I felt a cold arctic breeze waft by recently and it was a combination of an evil malware attack on the Playground and watching the long 9-minute trailer for That Winter, The Wind Blows. Man, this thing better not blow but I have no clue how the story will come together. I had similar reservations with Nice Guy (The Innocent … Continue reading →

That Winter, The Wind Blows Holds Cheerful Press Conference

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

The first two thoughts to pop into my head when I saw the press conference for the upcoming K-melodrama That Winter, The Wind Blows is this: (1) Damn is Kim Bum FINE!, and (2) Good lord what the what is Jo In Sung wearing?! This press conference was a mixed bag but overall not bad. Song Hye Kyo and Jung … Continue reading →

Second Beautiful Teaser for That Winter, The Wind Blows with Jo In Sung and Song Hye Kyo

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

Despite the recent generally lackluster offerings in the usually high profile Wed-Thurs network K-dramas, the just premiered 7th Level Civil Servant should be glad its got a 3 week head start on its upcoming rivals. Action thriller IRIS 2 premieres on February 13th and will certainly be a formidable opponent in terms of star wattage and production grandeur, but also premiering … Continue reading →

First Intense Teaser for That Winter, The Wind Blows with Jo In Sung and Song Hye Kyo

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2013

Aside from the fashion eye-candy, another good thing came out of the drama awards show in SBS releasing the first teaser of its highly anticipated melodrama That Winter, The Wind Blows. Written by famed screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung and starring Jo In Sung in his return to television after 7 years and paired with Song Hye Kyo, this one has … Continue reading →

The K-stars of King Kong Entertainment Lend a Smile for the Polar Bears

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 7, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 7, 2012

Talk about a rather hard hitting display of star power for a cause that I’m not so sure is all that pressing. Don’t get me wrong, the world is filled with countless areas in need of aid and I’m always happy to see stars lend their fame to make a positive and tangible impact on societal needs. With that said, … Continue reading →

Kim Bum Holds Fan Meeting and Mini-Concert in Tokyo

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 7, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 7, 2012

You know, I can’t say I saw this coming or that I think it’s even a good idea. Kim Bum, one of the few young K-actors who got his start solely as an child actor rather than as an idol (that group also includes Kim Soo Hyun, Yoo Seung Ho, Jang Geun Seok) is trying out singing for a change … Continue reading →

Stills of Script Reading Session for That Winter, The Wind Blows

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2012

Now that Nice Guy has wrapped up I can start anticipating the new crop of dramas coming along. Aside from Alice in Cheongdamdong, the rest of 2012 is done for me in terms of new dramas. But early 2013 brings a slew of dramas worth at least checking out, the most serious one of the bunch being That Winter, The … Continue reading →

The cast of Wolfboy traveled from Busan, where they attended the film festival there last weekend, back to Seoul just in time to hold a star-studded movie premiere in the city.

2013 K-drama Casting Update: Kang Ji Hwan with Hwang Jung Eum and Lee Seung Gi with Suzy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 19, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 18, 2012

Now that 2012 is heading towards the end, there are really no more K-dramas left to premiere that haven’t been cast yet. Which leaves me looking into 2013 and oh boy it’s shaping up to be a doozy. First off comes the producers behind Giant and History of the Salaryman, truly talented subversive geniuses in my book, and they are … Continue reading →

Final Batch of Photos of Ariel Lin and Kim Bum for Echitoo

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 25, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 24, 2012

I’m still pinching myself despite posting multiple times about the Kim Bum and Ariel Lin collaboration for the Echitoo Fall ad campaign. Fandoms colliding is a magical and interesting experience, one which either works or fails spectacularly. Everything about the Bummie and Ariel couples shoot for Echitoo screams Epic Amazeballs. Ariel looks younger than her age while Bummie channels a … Continue reading →
