K-ent Dating News Rebuttals: Yoo Yeon Suk-Kim Ji Won and Ha Suk Jin-Yoon Joo Hee

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 24, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 23, 2015
Two individuals in fashionable attire, smiling.

It’s been a busy dating news week in K-ent, none bigger than the break up-not broken up rumors surrounding star couple Lee Min Ho and Suzy a few days ago. A little less high profile are the other two dating news breaks this week, but the similarity comes from both being denied as well. So that’s a three swings and … Continue reading →

Descendants of the Sun Update: Airing Date Likely Pushed Back to Early 2016 and Overseas Filming Set for Greece

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 4, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 3, 2015
Two models posing, one casual, one formal.

Of all the announced K-dramas on the horizon, the production with the biggest upside and downside remains the fully pre-produced KBS disaster zone medical drama Descendants of the Sun. Starring Song Joong Ki, Song Hye Kyo, Jin Goo, and Kim Ji Won, it’s my most anticipated drama for the cast and the screenwriter being Kim Eun Sook of Heirs, Secret Garden, City … Continue reading →

The Cast of Descendants of the Sun are All Smiles at the First Script Reading

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 3, 2015 by ockoalaJune 3, 2015
Group of people engaged in reading activities.

I feel like I’ve seen these pictures before, and then remembered that I already saw the lead up moments before these pictures were snapped. KBS released the script reading pictures of the big budget upcoming drama Descendants of the Sun, which isn’t as exciting to see since the media already published pictures of the four leads heading into KBS studios … Continue reading →

The Cast of Descendants of the Sun Head to Script Reading at KBS Studios

The train is leaving the station for upcoming K-drama Descendants of the Sun faster than Song Joong Ki changed out of his military fatigues. The cast gathered this week at KBS studios (featured prominently in currently airing KBS variety industry drama Producer) for the script reading, the arrival walk which normally isn’t covered by the media unless it involves a … Continue reading →

It’s much appreciated for KBS to provide a complete news update on the casting status of upcoming high profile prime time drama Descendants of the Sun. The drama didn’t just confirm the two leads today, it went ahead and confirmed the second leads as well. For many folks this news is both a relief that casting is done as well … Continue reading →

Kim Ji Won and Yoochun Become the Sensory Couple for SBS

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 5, 2015 by ockoalaFebruary 5, 2015

This is definitely a good news week for SBS. Even if its weekend drama is tanking so hard at unprecedented levels of embarrassing, Punch is owning both the ratings and critical acclaim over on Mon-Tues so that should be sweet consolation.The network can also breath a sigh of relief with the audience opinion in the third week of Hyde, Jekyll, … Continue reading →

First Charming Teaser for Web Drama One Sunny Day with So Ji Sub and Kim Ji Won

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 19, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 19, 2014

I was pretty nonchalant about the news last month that So Ji Sub was doing web drama filming in Jeju. I’ve enjoyed his dramas in the past and The Master’s Sun was definitely yet another career high point for him, but he’s notoriously unpredictable when it comes to picking his acting projects so it’s no surprise that he followed up … Continue reading →

So Ji Sub and Kim Ji Won Couple Up for Online Drama Set on Jeju Island

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 10, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 10, 2014

This will come as great news to So Ji Sub fans, whether long-standing or newer ones after his fantastic turn in The Master’s Sun, thinking he is likely not doing any acting this year since all the remaining year end K-dramas have been cast. Surprising news dropped today that So Ji Sub has been in Jeju Island for the last … Continue reading →

Happy Filming Stills as the Cast of Heirs Prepares to Say Goodbye

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 11, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 10, 2013

It’s finale week for Heirs/The Inheritors and the production released a batch of happy, playful, and very pretty BTS pictures of the main cast playing the high school students. I have so many jumbled thoughts might as well discuss my thoughts on the performances while sharing the lovely pics as a tribute to the hardworking cast who toiled to bring … Continue reading →

Press Conference and Long 14-minute Drama Preview for the Star-studded Heirs

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 7, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 7, 2013

You know that existential crisis moment when you’re reading a book and land on a sentence and find yourself reading it over and over again because suddenly words don’t compute? That is usually a signal to put that book down and take a break because the synapses are momentarily overloaded. I worried that moment was barreling towards me with respect … Continue reading →

Third Preview Teaser for Heirs Drops Lots of Narrative Goodness

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2013

The release of the third preview teaser for Heirs or The Inheritors helps us take a break from the overload of character stills from the drama. This is the most substantive teaser to date and really showcases what to expect. The possibility that Heirs would be a hot mess was bandied about mostly because of how derivative the set up … Continue reading →

Second Teaser for Heirs Drops and Kim Woo Bin Confirms Long Time Relationship with Model Yoo Ji Ahn

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 25, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 25, 2013

In the spectrum of good, better, best, the second teaser for Heirs or The Inheritors lands squarely in good. It’s better than the first one, but that one didn’t even make it to a decent and interesting level. This one has talking and every one of the leads makes a twirl (except for Im Joo Eun, who I decree simply … Continue reading →

Highly Anticipated Heirs Releases First Video Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 19, 2013 by ockoalaSeptember 19, 2013

“It’s okay, baby!” Those are the first words we hear from Lee Min Ho’s lips in his turn as the exiled high school rich boy in Heirs or The Inheritors (Those Who Wear the Crown, Withstand the Weight: The Heirs). The drama released the first ever video teaser since it’s three weeks away from its premiere, despite it feeling like … Continue reading →
