Thrilling First Teaser for Fugitive of Joseon with Lee Dong Wook and Song Ji Hyo

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 6, 2013 by ockoalaApril 5, 2013

Woah momma what do we have here? While the more high profile upcoming sageuks Gu Family Book for MBC and Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love for SBS have been getting the majority of the press and attention (also because they are airing head-to-head), over at KBS the cast and crew have been quietly filming The Fugitive of Joseon (the … Continue reading →

Lee Dong Wook and Song Ji Hyo Lead Script Reading for Mandate of Heaven

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 28, 2013 by ockoalaMarch 2, 2013

An sageuk bonanza is coming soon so if you’re not a viewer of sageuks I suggest getting prepped to checking them out. I love sageuks, my first K-drama ever was a 55-episode sageuk, but lately nothing from that genre has been able to hook me. I’m hoping that’ll change starting next month onward because a deliciously meaty sageuk is always … Continue reading →

Lee Dong Wook and Song Ji Hyo Purportedly to Star in Upcoming Sageuk Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 16, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 16, 2013

What fantastic unexpected casting news! IRIS 2 has a good 20-episodes to burn through so it won’t wrap up until early April. Of course its never too early to cast the follow up drama, which I’ve long heard was going to be sageuk Heaven’s Order (or Fate of Heaven). With his Strong Heart MC gig just ended, actor Lee Dong … Continue reading →

K-stars Attend Masquerade Movie Premiere Starring Lee Byung Hun and Han Hyo Joo

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 8, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 2, 2013

This is about as high wattage as it gets for movie premieres in South Korea. The upcoming Joseon-era sageuk movie Gwanghae: The Man Who Became King (English title Masquerade) starring Lee Byung Hun, Han Hyo Joo, and Ryu Seung Ryong held its star-stubbed movie premiere in Seoul this week which was attended by a veritable who’s who of actors young … Continue reading →

Lee Dong Wook and Shin Dong Yup are Slighty Naughty for Vogue Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 30, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 31, 2012

Mamma mia, Vogue Korea does it again with a truly fascinating photo spread that not only catches my eyes but is sure to set tongues wagging. I don’t think it’s anywhere genuinely provocative, but it definitely isn’t your plain vanilla “post prettily” type of photos. It’s been three months since Lee Dong Wook tried his hand a MC-ing talk show … Continue reading →

Lee Dong Wook in Australia for Sure Magazine July Edition

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 28, 2012 by ockoalaJune 28, 2012

Lee Dong Wook. Being seksi in Australia for Sure Magazine. The end. What? You guys need more words from me? Wookie has been on television regularly these days since taking over co-hosting duties on Strong Heart, occupying the position formerly held by Lee Seung Gi. It’s still odd to me since the two men appear to have such vastly different … Continue reading →

SBS Releases Stills of Lee Dong Wook Hosting Strong Heart

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 8, 2012 by ockoalaApril 7, 2012

I’m don’t watch variety shows, probably because I already bend time and space enough as it is. Anymore and I’ll be tempting the drama fates to smite me. But I totally got interested this week in checking out April 10th’s episode of the K-talk show Strong Heart, which was formerly hosted by Kang Ho Dong and Lee Seung Gi, but … Continue reading →

First Impressions on Wild Romance with Lee Dong Wook and Lee Shi Young

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 5, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 4, 2012

As a sports fan there are just teams you effing hate. The greatest sports rivalries in history spawn the best fan wars, which begets the central conceit of Wild Romance. What if a die hard fan of one team were to become the bodyguard for the star player of the rival team? Who just singlehandedly ensured your team lost the … Continue reading →

Wild Romance Releases Entertaining Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 4, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2013

What a wild ride the promotional circuit for Wild Romance has been. My interest in this sucker keeps revving upward against my better judgment, until this final long preview for the drama tips it over into the OMG-I-Love-It edge. WR has tons of physical humor which the two leads are completely game to tackle. I find it funny and good-natured, … Continue reading →

Wild Romance Holds Cheerful Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 2, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 2, 2012

It’s that time of the year again, resolutions galore about eating less and exercising more, and pretending there is a chance to watch less dramas in 2012 than the previous year. This week sees the premiere of four new prime time K-dramas, and concurrently a bunch of press conferences just took place. Wild Romance with Lee Dong Wook and Lee … Continue reading →

Preview for Episode 1 of Wild Romance Brings the Funny

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 29, 2011 by ockoalaMay 7, 2012

Okay, count me in. The preview for episode 1 of Wild Romance is out, and I chuckled repeatedly despite my better judgment. This things look funny in a Three Stooges sort of way. I don’t think it’ll be anything deeper than two bone-headed enemies falling in love in between pratfalls and peccadilloes. My koala sense is telling me this will … Continue reading →

Wild Romance Drops Second Hilarious Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 27, 2011 by ockoalaMay 7, 2012

Next Wednesday is going to be a throwdown for primetime K-dramas with three new offerings premiering on the same day. I was planning on watching the sageuk with pretty people, but will now add the goofy Wild Romance to my plate since the second teaser just released is starting to grow on me. I like that this drama has no … Continue reading →

Teaser and Synopsis for Wild Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 21, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 21, 2011

I’m not terribly excited about the upcoming Wild Romance with Lee Dong Wook and Lee Shi Young, and the first teaser doesn’t change my feelings (yet). I do hope the drama actually follows through with the baseball theme, instead of doing a bait-and-switch like Man of Honor did. Lee Shi Young’s barftastic hairdo actually looks not nearly as ugly when … Continue reading →
