Kim So Hyun Guest Starring in K-drama While You Were Sleeping with Lee Jong Seok and Suzy

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 27, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 27, 2017
Woman in stylish trench coat and dress.

It’s amazing to watch child actress turned teen actress Kim So Hyun continue to blossom so beautifully with nary that awkwardness phase. She’s the face of SOUP 2017 Spring collection, all peaches and various shades of blue that capture brightness and classic styling. She was fantastic in her last turn guest starring in the hit drama Goblin, playing a small … Continue reading →

Actors on set with filming equipment present.

Cameras have started rolling on the set of upcoming MBC sageuk Ruler: Master of the Mask. The big lead time start is good news, even though the drama doesn’t arrive until May it’s nice to get an early glimpse at a drama I’m super looking forward to.

Guest Stars and Supporting Characters Shine in Goblin as the Drama Integrates All Characters Seamlessly

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2017
Four diverse characters in various scenes.

Everything feels connected in Goblin in ways both substantive and logical within its fantasy narrative. Supporting characters tug at the heartstrings or make one seethe with anger, and guest starring roles are memorable and meaningful. The leads have the lions share of screen time but long after this drama is over I will also remember all the seemingly minor characters … Continue reading →

2016 Year End Awards Roundup From Big Three Networks Capped Off Drama Year

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 3, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 3, 2017
Four celebrities at an awards event.

The 2016 year end K-drama awards for the big three networks came and went last weekend, smack dab in the middle of me heading off for my trans-pacific flight, taking said long flight, traveling back home from long flight, and then being massively jetlagged from said flight. All in all I lost 36 hours and also the ability to collect … Continue reading →

New Drama Stills for Goblin Show Shawdowy Lee Dong Wook and Cameo by Kim So Hyun and Kim Min Jae

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 27, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 26, 2016
Dramatic historical scene with four characters.

Upcoming tvN fantasy drama Goblin is either playing the long con or the smart tease with me, and I definitely prefer it to be the latter. The days drama press conferences are held mere days or even hours before the drama airs but Goblin is still a week away from airing and the photogenic cast already met the press and … Continue reading →

L and Yoon So Hee Join MBC Drama Ruler: Master of the Mask with Leads Yoo Seung Ho and Kim So Hyun

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 22, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 22, 2016
Two young adults at a promotional event.

This casting will definitely limit the possibility the second leads will steal the thunder from the main leads, but will also double up on the visuals for this drama so overall a win-win. Yoon So Hee and L (Kim Myung Soo) are confirmed for next year’s sageuk drama Ruler: Master of the Mask, which has already inked leads Yoo Seung … Continue reading →

Kim So Hyun Cast Opposite Yoo Seung Ho in MBC Sageuk Drama Ruler: Master of the Mask

Two portraits of young Asian adults.

The Korean drama casting gods are determined to tap into the acclaimed young acting talent as quickly as can be, and who can blame them when the most recently pairing turned into ratings gold. Next year’s in development MBC sageuk Ruler: Master of the Mask has cast 17 year old actress (18 in Korean years) Kim So Hyun opposite already … Continue reading →

Kim So Hyun Makes Special Appearance Role in Goblin with Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 28, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 28, 2016

Young K-actress Kim So Hyun may have had a solid outing this summer with Let’s Fight Ghost, hands down my favorite fun and meaningful K-drama, but she’s certainly striking while the iron remains hot in scheduling her next role. It’s not a large part but the choice of doing this drama shows that Kim So Hyun is super savvy about … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun and Kim So Hyun Top the Moolmang K-star Internet Power Rankings for July 2016

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 4, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 3, 2016
Ranking of popular Korean actors and actresses.

Korean buzz site Moolmang has been doing entertainment internet power rankings for awhile and the latest July issue is interesting enough as a current pulse taking snapshot to merit a post. The site ranks popularity/buzz based on the number of searches, number of listed about, number of listed on, number of vote obtained, hits on profile page, and hits on … Continue reading →

Kim So Hyun is a Subtle Summer Goddess in Allure Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 29, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 27, 2016
Young woman in floral dress, natural setting.

I’m thoroughly enjoying tvN‘s Mon-Tues supernatural offering Let’s Fight Ghost, and it’s all thanks to leading lady Kim So Hyun. She’s so darn everything that is right – plenty of attitude but also equal parts adorable high school girl. The fact that Taecyeon is quite alright as the male lead and physically suitable for the role helps sell the set … Continue reading →

Kim So Hyun is Coolly Pretty as a Chic Teen for InStyle Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 16, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 15, 2016
Woman in sequin dress posing outdoors.

In a much appreciated visual reversal spread from the recent mangling of Kim So Hyun‘s entire aura, InStyle Korea has the rising teen actress in its pages modeling interesting and chic frocks suitable for her 16 year old age. Unlike the 1st Look pictorial and shellacked on the heavy sultry makeup and come hither poses, none of which is wrong … Continue reading →

Posters and First Episode Preview for Let’s Fight Ghost with Kim So Hyun and Taecyeon

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 27, 2016 by ockoalaJune 27, 2016
Three characters in a mysterious setting.

July is right around and the corner and heading to the small screens is tvN supernatural drama Let’s Fight Ghost. The drama posters are out and seem more superhero-esque than horror, with that blue backlit background and power pose of the three leads Taecyeon, Kim So Hyun and Kwon Yul. The individual character posters adds the scary element of ghostly … Continue reading →

Ghostly Kim So Hyun Helps Taecyeon Beat Up Evil Spirits in Let’s Fight Ghost

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 20, 2016 by ockoalaJune 20, 2016
Young couple sitting on a bench outdoors.

I think Let’s Fight Ghost has a fighting chance of being watchable, if not substantively gripping it might be mildly diverting as a summer offering. Seeing high school girl ghost Kim So Hyun with college student ghost hunter Taecyeon isn’t as jarring or disconcerting as I worried about. They seem to have a fun bright chemistry in the stills, the … Continue reading →
