A Koala's Playground Posted on May 21, 2020 by ockoalaMay 21, 2020
Young man with a serious expression indoors.

I love Kim Soo Hyun and just realized upon seeing the sneak peek at his upcoming drama that he mainly has like two looks onscreen. Super dorky (Dream High, Producers, Secretly Greatly) or super suave (You From Another Star, Miss Granny, Hotel Del Luna). For upcoming tvN drama It’s Ok to Not Be Okay (Psycho, But It’s Okay) the look … Continue reading →

Two actors reading scripts in a meeting.

I did a happy clap when I saw the script reading pictures for IU and Park Seo Joon for Dream, their upcoming movie from the director of Extreme Jobs. Both are coming off highly successful last projects and collaborating with a top director, expectations are high but it’s worth getting excited for something assembled so well.

I love the English title for this drama, it’s totally what everyone needs to say out loud once a day during these trying times. It’s Okay to Not be Okay (formerly I’m Psycho But It’s Okay) kicked off filming last month in April and recently released script reading stills of the cast gathered together including Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Ye … Continue reading →

The recent polls, news, and buzz around Kim Soo Hyun confirms that this young actor, despite a two year break from K-ent to complete his military service, is still a wall of popularity. He’s got a steady step with his post-army return, first doing two cameos in highly rated drama Hotel Del Luna and Crash Landing on You and picking … Continue reading →

The Sports Chosun 30th Anniversary poll of South Korean entertainment insiders on the Power People within the industry is definitely worth discussing especially in the drama category. For the film category it’s harder to have biases as movies remain a wall in K-ent where to become a film star one is a true A-lister. Far and away by like three … Continue reading →

You always remember the firs time you fall in love with a performer coupled with the character and for me Kim Soo Hyun will always be Song Sam Dong. Dream High was his true leading man breakout performance after making waves in a teen role for Will it Snow for Christmas and it didn’t matter that compared to the idols … Continue reading →

Lists are fraught with disagreement but I don’t think I find anything objectionable about this list. TW-ent ranked the top Hallyu K-drama actors of the last decade (2010-2020) and selected four still very active and marketable male leads Hyun Bin, Kim Soo Hyun, Gong Yoo, and Song Joong Ki. I don’t think any of these four could be left off … Continue reading →

I love top star cameos in dramas. It’s super fast, no skin off anyone’s back, makes fans happy, and earns plenty of karma and kudos. There’s going to be a huge cameo coming up in hit cable drama Crash Landing on You with Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin, already headlining two A-list stars. Fellow A-lister Kim Soo Hyun will … Continue reading →

There’s a lovely symmetry to this but goodness am I a tad bit concerned. K-actor Kim Soo Hyun has officially left Key East, the agency that found him in 2010 and launched his incredibly successful acting career. He signed a 10 year exclusive contract and followed through it with so his departure is simply not renewing another contract with Key … Continue reading →
