Kim Woo Bin and Suzy Pique the Interest in First Teaser for KBS Melodrama Arbitrarily Fond

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 2, 2016 by ockoalaJanuary 2, 2016
Autumn scene with two people among leaves.

Okay, at the risk of eating my own words come summer this year when the drama premieres, I’m willing to go out on a limb and say that I’m soooooo sold by the first teeny tiny teaser for upcoming KBS drama Arbitrarily Fond. Starring Kim Woo Bin and Suzy, I love him and like her, but am way more willing … Continue reading →

Hyun Bin, Won Bin, and Kim Woo Bin Reportedly in Talks for K-movie

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 16, 2015
Three men posing thoughtfully in different outfits.

Casting rumor say whut? I swear this is not some one off rumor and is instead being reported by various media outlets, so it’s probably levels above fan service but still way too impossible to pull off for me to think it’ll end up happening, even if it’s really being discussed. The world might be getting three Bins for the … Continue reading →

Answer Me 1988 Breakout Star Ryu Jun Yeol Paired with Kim Woo Bin as the Atypical Goodlooking K-actor

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 13, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 3, 2016
Four stylish men at various red carpet events.

The first time I laid eyes on Kim Woo Bin a few years ago, I thought he was one of the oddest looking Korean entertainers to come around. His hulking frame and strong facial features took awhile to get used to, but once I saw his charisma through his acting then it was easy to get used to his unique looks. … Continue reading →

First Teaser Peek at Arbitrarily Fond’s College Campus Filming with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 27, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 28, 2015
Couple sitting on steps in autumn setting.

It was expected that there would be fast updates once filming begins on 2016 airing K-drama Arbitrarily Fond with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy. Both are extremely popular in Korea and as long as it was being filmed domestically there would be fan sightings aplenty and that is indeed the case as the fans are out in full force it … Continue reading →

Star-studded VIP Premiere Red Carpet Lights Up Suzy’s New Movie The Sound of a Flower

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 24, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 24, 2015
Group of four smiling celebrities at event.

Now this is what I call star power, or more aptly Suzy star power. At the VIP premiere of upcoming sageuk movie The Sound of a Flower (Dorihwaga) starring Suzy, Ryu Seung Ryong, and Kim Nam Gil, the impressive line up of Hallyu stars in attendance eclipsed the movie itself thanks to Suzy bringing all the boys (and girls) to … Continue reading →

Im Joo Eun and Im Joo Hwan Join Kim Woo Bin and Suzy in Arbitrarily Fond

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 11, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 11, 2015
Four actors posing for promotional photos.

Next year K-drama Arbitrarily Fond just turned into the mashup of a Heirs reunion with a What’s Up? with the casting of one new female lead. Im Joo Eun has been confirmed as the second female lead in the drama, which makes it the second time she’s done a drama with the similar sounding in name Im Joo Hwan, who … Continue reading →

Section TV Polls Fan Picks for Top 8 Big Stars of Korean Entertainment in 2015

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 9, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 8, 2015
Two men in formal attire, smiling.

Every time there is a survey of some sort, it’s always entertaining to casually peruse which star has maintained top dog popularity and who may have dropped off a bit. This weekend Section TV did a poll for its 800 episode, asking 800 people to name the Top 8 Big Stars of South Korea. This one sounds like a pure … Continue reading →

Arbitrarily Fond Scheduled for June of 2016, KBS May Slot Another Drama After Descendants of the Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 4, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 3, 2015
Three stylish individuals at a film event.

There’s a new latest and maybe not so greatest news about next year 2016’s K-drama Arbitrarily Fond. I have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes but this is one slippery eel in terms of locking down a time slot. Of course when it comes to K-dramas, stuff like casting, network, and time slot are all subject to constant … Continue reading →

Im Joo Hwan in Talks for Arbitrarily Fond and the Drama Will Premiere in China Exclusively on Youku Tudou

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 31, 2015
Man in tuxedo and woman in red dress.

Is it me, or is upcoming KBS drama Arbitrarily Fond getting a lot of media coverage? It’s not just in Korea, China is covering more on this drama than its same network and arguably even bigger budget and scope Descendants of the Sun. I’m equally excited about both from a screenwriter and cast stand point, but am wondering if Kim … Continue reading →

Kim Woo Bin Returns to His Model Roots for Seoul Fall 2015 Fashion Show

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 23, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 22, 2015
Two models walking in stylish outfits.

The older I get, the more nostalgic I am, which makes me feel more square and less hip, but then I don’t give a fug these days other than being happy with the things I like. One of which is people staying in touch with their roots, wherever one comes from it’s lovely not to forget it and sweeter yet … Continue reading →

Giordano Releases Fall 2015 CFs with Real Life Couple Shin Mina and Kim Woo Bin

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 11, 2015
Couple leaning against a brick wall together.

There’s an odd chemistry around real life couple Kim Woo Bin and Shin MIna, and it’s even more apparent when they do CFs together, like the recently released pictorial for casual wear brand Giordano. I don’t mean anything negative when I say odd, just that the vibe they get off is rather different than expected – while Kim Woo Bin … Continue reading →

School-aged Pictures of Popular Hallyu K-actors Show the Before and After

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2015
Four young men in formal school portraits.

For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →

Hyun Bin and Kim Soo Hyun Leads the List of Highest Paid K-actor Drama Salaries

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 4, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 3, 2015
2015 earnings of South Korean male actors.

It was interesting to get a glimpse at the drama salaries of the top Korean actresses, and now it’s time to see how their male counterparts are faring. There is total gender income at the very top as Lee Young Ae and Jeon Ji Hyun both earn 100 million won per drama episode, and the same is true for top … Continue reading →
