So ever since Goblin in 2016 the two male leads Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook have been reunited for casual hangouts and even entertainment activity collaborations showing off their bromance and doubling up the good looking Korean man visuals.

Mysterious man wearing a hat, movie poster.

I love seeing so many talented K-stars in one movie and bonus points for this one getting lots of attention thanks to male lead Hyun Bin who keeps on picking interesting and challenging roles. The movie is called Harbin and is of course set in the titular city but in the early 1900’s era when the region was on the … Continue reading →

Group of friends posing for a photo.

I love good dorky fun and the agency game day at King Kong Entertainment with tons of big Korean stars is exactly that. I love the color coordinate teams, Lee Dong Wook wearing his sunglasses looking like a gangster while being team pink the entire time, Go Ara literally the exact same nearly 20 years later still, and Shin Seung … Continue reading →

Two men in suits standing back to back.

It’s been many years since mega hit fantasy K-drama Goblin which is still a fave of mine because I can just watch the stuff I like about it. Male leads Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook were fan favorites during the airing of the drama for their goblin and grim reaper bickering friendship and there was a lot of promo … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 22, 2023 by ockoalaApril 21, 2023
Group of characters from "Guimiho 1938" drama.

The gumiho brothers and another gumiho femme fatale are going to wreak havoc, or restore order maybe, back in 1938 era Korea (not North and South yet) and as much as I was sorely letdown by season 1 I’m like a dog to a bone and curious enough to check out season 2 Tale of Gumiho: 1938. It helps that … Continue reading →

I’m such a sucker for a good period costume and the ones on display for upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho 1938 are right up my alley. Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum are back as the gumiho brothers this time they cross paths with Kim So Yeon with Ryoo Kyung Soo as this story’s chief antagonist.

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 4, 2022 by ockoalaMay 4, 2022
"Upcoming TV series featuring four actors."

This isn’t a sequel and now it’s not even a true prequel to tvN 2021 fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho (Tale of the Nine-tailed). It’s called Tale of Gumiho:1938 and from the date everyone thought it would deal with the lives of immortal gumiho leads Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum from that era.

Action-packed poster for "Bad and Crazy."

Upcoming tvN drama Bad and Crazy has been coy about what the correlation or relation between the titular bad and crazy two male leads will be but it’s hard not to jump right into the Fight Club references especially since the promos play it up. Clearly Wi Ha Joon‘s crazy dude is Lee Dong Wook‘s bad guy’s subconscious good but … Continue reading →

Black and white drama poster with two characters.

Upcoming tvN Fri-Sat drama feels like a good combination of momentum, pairing up leading man Lee Dong Wook with rising star actor Wi Ha Joon in a drama synopsis that reads a bit like Fight Club. I’m not saying one character doesn’t actually exist but the whole premise is two opposites suddenly coexisting in the same world to cause change … Continue reading →
