Kim Soo Hyun Models Rebel Basics in Elle Korea and Confirms No Military Enlistment in 2015

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 9, 2015 by ockoalaFebruary 8, 2015

I can never understand why being disappointed with certain performances and projects by an entertainer suddenly gets my fan status revoked. Sorry for not being blind and delulu to the point that even if oppa/unni farts I’ll proclaim it sweet smelling. Just like some acting talent can coast for a long time on goodwill from one major successful role, my … Continue reading →

Ranking of the Most Buzzed About Stars in China in 2014

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 31, 2015 by ockoalaMay 11, 2015

I’ve noticed that over the years I’ve been writing about C-dramas, and C-entertainment more and more due to the rise of both the quality as well as the increase in cross-border collaborations. Some folks new to C-dramas, or haven’t even dipped a toe in, sometimes enjoy my posts without a clue of who’s popular and why certain stars seem to … Continue reading →

K-tourism Bureau Polls Japanese Ladies Favorite Korean Entertainers and Dramas in 2014

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 3, 2015 by ockoalaMay 11, 2015

Most of the attention on exporting K-dramas have shifted to Mainland China in the last two years and for good reason. It’s the largest audience market by size and K-dramas are more naturally digestable due to the similar Asian entertainment tastes than marketing to the Western audience. Japan remains a solid and steady market for Hallyu entertainment whether K-pop or … Continue reading →

2014 SBS Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2015

With the 2014 SBS Drama Awards, another prolific if underwhelming in quality year wraps up in K-dramaland. There wasn’t an underlying reason I saved this network for last in coverage, MBC went first and I only had time to write about the KBS awards before passing out sick as a dog after watching the new year’s fireworks light off. I … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 29, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 29, 2014

After a few weeks of who’s going and who’s not going, the year end major three Korean network drama awards shows have ironed out the attendee list. There are surprises and expected absences so I’ll started with the upside first. Jeon Ji Hyun is the shocker of the night, coming out of her beauty hibernation to attend the SBS year … Continue reading →

The SBS year end drama awards was shaping up to be the most star-studded of the big three since it led the way in splashy prime time dramas.

K-media Crowns the Four New Hallyu Kings Lee Min Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Jong Seok, and Kim Woo Bin

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 12, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 12, 2014

Whether you like them or not, I think it safe to at least agree that the new generation of Hallyu kings are here and the overall consensus includes Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Min Ho, Lee Jong Seok, and Kim Woo Bin. Sure a few other popular around Asia twenty-something singer-actors like Lee Seung Gi and Jang Geun Seok could be included, … Continue reading →

SBS 2014 Year End Drama Awards Likely to Be Less Star-studded than Expected

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 11, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 11, 2014

This latest news about the upcoming year end drama awards doesn’t surprise me but I am still disappointed. While the awards don’t validate what I think is good acting, I’ve enjoyed the year end drama awards for the parade of stars and the fashion. Hearing that what was to be the most star-studded banquet over at SBS will likely get … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun Brings Back the Cute Cheekiness at Recent Beanpole Event

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 6, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 6, 2014

Wah, kyeopta my boy! Finally. As Kim Soo Hyun finishes up what is his best career year with awards aplenty and the most buzzed about K-drama of the year, I’m just happy that he appears to have emerged unscathed from all the heightened scrutiny. He looked waifish thin to play Do Min Joon in You From Another Star, and months later … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun Declines to Become Dr. Frankenstein and Considering Another Project

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 5, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 5, 2014

Normally this isn’t really a post-worthy bit of casting (or non-casting) news but for the fact that it involves Kim Soo Hyun. Like him or not, think he’s overrated or not, find him an underwhelming actor or not, he’s one of the biggest twenty-something actors in Korea right now so his every move remains scrutinized by fans and media alike. … Continue reading →

The K-ent news pundits have started speculating about the three prime time Korean network Year End Drama awards and which actor or actress will nab the coveted Daesang (Grand Prize). SBS had the best year thanks to once-in-a-decade type of buzzy hit You From Another Star, which technically started airing in December 2013 but the drama was not included in the … Continue reading →
