Mark Chao, Feng Shao Feng, Kim Bum Headline Detective Dee Sequel

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 21, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2012

Well this is going to be a big hot mess. Seriously, not even being optimistic or praying to the movie gods will this movie actually turned out to be quality cinematic achievement. It’ll probably make lots of money during the Summer season, give all the young actors exposure, and continue the trend of director Tsui Hark‘s descent into flashy mediocrity. … Continue reading →

Ariel Lin and Kim Bum are Captivating for Eichitoo in Official Stills and Videos

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 8, 2012 by ockoalaMay 17, 2015

What can I say? Gorgeous is as gorgeous does. Ariel Lin pairing with Kim Bum for Eichitoo is the sort of dream I used to think only happened in an alternate universe. Eichitoo released a boatload of pictures of Ariel and Bummie gamely and glamorously modeling their wares. After watching the BTS videos and sneak peaks at the CF, I’m … Continue reading →

Holy Moly, the amount of sheer beauty in this post is unreal. Chinese clothing brand Eichitoo released a slew of new pictures of its newest spokescouple Kim Bum and Ariel Lin, and I swear my breath caught in my throat and I couldn’t make a noise for a good ten seconds. Almost turned purple, but that is the power of … Continue reading →

In yet another meeting of Koala favorites, Ariel Lin and Kim Bum met up in China two weeks ago to film an ad campaign for the clothing brand Eithtoo. I have never heard of this brand in my life, but now I know it, thanks to Ariel and Bummie modeling their clothes. Good one, formerly obscure brand. Ariel has been … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 20, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2011

Okay, why wasn’t I invited to this holiday party! Oh right. Because I am not part of King Kong Entertainment, one of the more well known agencies in Korea. For the late December edition of High Cut, the pretty and talented entertainers of the agency gathered together for a cheerful photoshoot. I mostly just recognize the always sultry Kim Suh … Continue reading →

Padam Padam Holds Press Conference Prior to its Monday Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 4, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 4, 2011

Padam Padam, its the sound of my heart waiting for the drama Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat to arrive. It’s also the sound I made when I laid eyes on Han Ji Min‘s dress at the press conference for the drama. The dress was gorgeous, and she looked glorious. The cast held the obligatory drama press … Continue reading →

Padam Padam with Jung Woo Sung and Han Ji Min Releases Brilliant Five-minute Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 29, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 29, 2011

I am officially slavering like a dog over a new bacon flavored bone for the upcoming jTBC cable drama Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat. Forget my Jung Woo Sung being the lead, or cute with newfounded cheekbones Kim Bum playing an angel of sorts, or even suddenly full of attitude and strangely alluring Han Ji Min … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2011

It’s finally here! The first teaser trailer for Noh Hee Kyung‘s Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Hearbeat starring Jung Woo Sung, Han Ji Min, and Kim Bum was just released. It’s……different, and fascinating. Not quite what I expected, but then again, I really didn’t know what to expect considering the flimsy plot synopsis and the steady stream … Continue reading →

More Striking Stills from Padam Padam as the Drama Continues Filming for a December Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 5, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 5, 2011

It feels like upcoming cable drama Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat has been filming for like forever. It’s been filming since mid-September, and the drama isn’t even slated to premiere until December on jTBC. I love the fact that it has such a head start, and the cast and crew won’t be scrambling around like headless … Continue reading →

Han Ji Min and Kim Bum Join the Cast of Padam Padam

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 10, 2011 by ockoalaAugust 10, 2011

I’m stunned. While Han Ji Min being confirmed as the leading lady opposite Jung Woo Sung for Noh Hee Kyung’s Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat was pretty much a done deal and par for the course, the other casting knocked the wind out of me. Kim Bum has also just joined the drama, and I’m hoping he plays Jung … Continue reading →

Two formally dressed people holding figurine trophies

If you asked me who the Korean Barbie and Ken are, I would have asked you: (1) why does the world need a Korean version of Barbie and Ken, and (2) would anyone consider it an honor to be dubbed the Korean Barbie and Ken? Mattel, the makers of Barbie and Ken, hosted an event in Seoul a few days … Continue reading →
