Krystal Joins Jang Dong Yoon in OCN Military Monster Action K-drama Search

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 16, 2020 by ockoalaJanuary 16, 2020
Two young adults posing with hand gestures.

Rising K-actor Jang Dong Yoon‘s next drama the cable network OCN thriller Search is getting lots of attention thanks to his breakout performance in KBS sageuk The Tale of Nokdu. I loved his chemistry with female lead Kim So Hyun which was critical to the drama since its a romance first and foremost. Search is billed as an action thriller … Continue reading →

Krystal and Other K-stars Swallowed by Fashion Fail at Ferragamo Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 2, 2018 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2018
Woman in blue blazer poses confidently.

We may have a new ignominious winner of the worst dressed K-celeb star event this time thanks to the burn your eyeball pairing with Italian couture brand Salvatore Ferragamo. Of the four attendees idol-actres Krystal was by far the worst dressed and I reckon she was just given the Ferragomo outfit and told to put it on because it fit her … Continue reading →

Player with Song Seung Heon and Krystal Release Striking Posters and Cheeky Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 31, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Four people posing in a garage setting.

I so love the mood transition from beyond dark to knowingly cheeky for Song Seung Heon in his drama selection. Black was a riveting drama but took a piece of my drama heart with it watching so much misery, but now I get to have some getaway heist fun with Song Seung Heon in his upcoming OCN drama Player. The … Continue reading →

Song Seung Heon Cheekily Introduces His Hustling Team in OCN Drama Player

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 26, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 26, 2018
OCM Original series promotional image with cast.

The OCN winter 2017 drama Black was so good and so dark and I’m thankful male lead Song Seung Heon‘s next pick is something that looks as fun and harmless as Player. He stars as the leader of a team of hustling thieves out to relieve other crooks of their ill-gotten gains. What a fun teaser, love the smooth one-shot … Continue reading →

Song Seung Heon Exudes Player Charm in New Drama Opposite Tough Girl Krystal

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 22, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 22, 2018
Man in suits, diverse poses and settings.

I have this feeling that upcoming OCN heist baddies-stealing-from-baddies K-drama Player is going to be a hoot. Maybe not straight up comedy but enough intentional and unintentional comedic moments to be worth my while. Starring Song Seung Heon, Krystal, and Lee Si Un, the drama has a ragtag team of thieves stealing hidden ill-gotten gains from criminals, making us root … Continue reading →

First Preview for OCN Heist K-drama Player with Song Seung Heon and Krystal

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 10, 2018 by ockoalaAugust 10, 2018
Four characters in action-themed scenes.

I’m still in a good mood with Song Seung Heon‘s last drama Black, I loved both the drama and his swaggering and sensitive performance as the Grim Reaper turned reluctant cop. I’m glad he’s sticking with procedural dramas rather than go schmoopy romance and up next is another OCN drama called Player (former Pan and prior to that Hustle). It’s … Continue reading →

K-stars Showcase Chanel Couture at Pop Up Store Event in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2018 by ockoalaJune 23, 2018
Young woman in stylish outfit at event.

Black, white, red, and greys were the colors of the most recent Chanel fashion event in Seoul celebrating the brand’s pop up store Paris-Hamburg. Black Pink member Jennie was my fave in her head to toe embracing of the couture collection’s adorable white skirt suit with red trim. The hat just slays the look especially the way Jennie wears the … Continue reading →

Song Seung Heon and Krystal Confirmed for OCN Heist Drama Player

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 2, 2018 by ockoalaJune 1, 2018
Male and female actors posing for photos.

I’m cautiously optimistic for upcoming OCN thriller drama Player, formerly called Hustle and then later Pan, and regardless of the earlier titles has confirmed the initially discussed leads Song Seung Heon and Krystal. The two leads will be playing members of a gang of four skilled at finding and extracting ill-gotten gains from criminals, i.e. stealing from the thieves. Directing … Continue reading →

Song Seung Heon and Krystal in Talks for Upcoming Conman Heist Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 14, 2018 by ockoalaApril 13, 2018
Two individuals in stylish beige outerwear.

This is too funny not to wonder if the K-drama gods were playing a joke and pulling the strings. After Song Seung Heon and Go Ara did the grim reaper police drama Black last year (which I loved!), she went off and got paired with L (Kim Myung Soo) for their upcoming drama Miss Hammurabi. I laughed because Go Ara is … Continue reading →

Short Hair Definitely a Trend in 2017 with K-actresses in Real Life and Drama Roles

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 23, 2017 by ockoalaSeptember 23, 2017
Person in a red shirt smiling warmly.

When coincidences hit a certain number is when a trend emerges and 2017 definitely smells of short hair with K-actresses. I don’t mind but this time around with the short hair trend I’m not feeling most of the looks. Idol-actress Krystal is the latest to get onboard this train and is doing it in real life and not for a … Continue reading →

Cast of Half-baked Drama Adaptation of Bride of the Water God Attend Wrap Party

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 24, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 23, 2017
Group of four stylish individuals outdoors.

Lightning in a bottle is impossible to replicate and even trying something similar in genre is a risky move to make the comparisons all the more stark. tvN finished airing the K-drama adaptation of fantasy manhwa Bride of the Water God this week and the entire thing went down like me munching on a bag of somewhat stale potato chips … Continue reading →
