Two men in stylish winter coats.

I’m not sure if this is a great career shift but hopefully he’ll have fun trying it out. K-actor Lee Dong Wook is hosting his own SBS talk show starting this December called…..Lee Dong Wook Wants to Talk. Ahahaha, OMG I love the dorkout on the name.

Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook Re-enact Their Goblin Bromance Attending Friend’s Wedding

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 13, 2019 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2019
Group photo with people forming a heart shape.

Remember this bromance pose and picture above, when actors Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook were promoting their hit fantasy romance drama Goblin. Imma not going to lie, I loved the drama but didn’t love the OTP chemistry or story line, but loved the frenemy and bromance chemistry and story line of the male leads. The two leads have since … Continue reading →

Man in suit at a formal event.

Wow, I didn’t think it was possible to be surprised nowadays with a man’s hair style since there is a smaller variety and I figure every look has been displayed before. Turns out Lee Dong Wook can bring a fresh frenzy by debuting a longer haired look complete with artful falls around his face that harkens back to the gentleman … Continue reading →

Actors posing with scripts and smiling together.

I love that the script reading stills have this blue tint to it, rather eerie and suited to the genre of the drama. Recently released from military service Im Shi Wan teams up with Lee Dong Wook for the drama adaption of the webtoon Strangers From Hell. It’s set in a cheap apartment complex for those studying for college entrance … Continue reading →

Two men in stylish suits at event.

The tagline for the Tod’s event in Seoul this week was “No_Code” but it may as well be “No_Style”. I dunno what’s gotten into the male stars in attendance but imma give them all a hard pass when I laid eyes on the lot. There was so much fugly hair on heads and plenty of equally fugly suits whether in … Continue reading →

New tvN Wed-Thurs Drama Touch Your Heart Premieres to 4% Ratings Range with Old School Feel

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 9, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 9, 2019
Two people posing with friendly gestures.

I find myself curiously untouched in the heart by new tvN Wed-Thurs drama Touch Your Heart, when I watched the first two episodes it was with a detached and dispassionate engagement despite really excited about it beforehand. The reunion of Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na from Goblin turns out to be just okay, a testament to how that … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 4, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 5, 2019
Group of stylish people in an office setting.

There was a one week gap between dramas that gets us into February and also a new lunar year as tvN didn’t air the next Wed-Thurs drama after Encounter (Boyfriend) ended two weeks ago due to last week being busy with lunar new year prep. This Wednesday comes rom-com adapted from a manhwa called Touch Your Heart, starring Lee Dong … Continue reading →

Yoo In Na and Lee Dong Wook are Classic K-drama Opposites Attract in Posters and Promos for Touch Your Heart

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2019 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2019
Couple poses, comedic romantic drama poster.

I feel like the ending in Goblin, the third go-around for the second leads Yoo In Na and Lee Dong Wook, can function as the set up for these two to reunite in upcoming tvN romance Touch Your Heart. It’s basically taking their actress and uptight cop character and changing him into an uptight lawyer now lol. The posters, new … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 4, 2019 by ockoalaJanuary 3, 2019
Actors participating in a group reading session.

The differentiating lure of the next tvN Wed-Thurs drama Touch Your Heart has to be the reunion of leads Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na after their exciting pairing in hit fantasy drama Goblin. Clearly the production team knows this because the second teaser for the drama totally recreates a scene from the drama and also throws in other … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 26, 2018 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2018
Four stylish individuals at a red carpet event.

The fashions are less the center of attention when the purpose of an event is charitable rather than awards driven. Lots of big name K-celebs took time out to attend the W Korea annual cancer charity fundraiser in Seoul, with half in subdued looks for the more serious occasion and others trying on colorful and rather interesting looks. Kim Hee … Continue reading →

Two elegantly dressed people at an event.

Following behind the nominations for the Korean Drama Awards come the nominations for the 2018 APAN Star Awards which is on its 6th year now. It’s skewed towards the popular more than elite selection metrics but as always an interesting take on what dramas and actors/actresses are getting recognition in a drama year.
