Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na Cast in Why Secretary Kim PD’s Rom-com Drama Touch Your Heart

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 19, 2018 by ockoalaSeptember 20, 2018
Smiling couple enjoying a sunny day together.

The broader consensus on K-drama Goblin was that the second lead couple was way more romantically gripping than the first leads as a couple, and now the second leads are coming back elevated to headline their own K-drama. Yoo In Na and Lee Dong Wook have been offered the leads and are as much confirmed per media reports for upcoming … Continue reading →

Who Are K-dramas Best Ugly Criers – Past, Present, and Future

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Crying young man in traditional attire.

Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it.

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 10, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 11, 2018
Two men making a heart shape gesture.

Bromance is alive and well in K-drama land as Gong Yoo sent a most adorable and perfectly Goblin-esque coffee truck to the set of Life starring Lee Dong Wook. The coffee truck was adorned with many banners and posters with snippy statements straight from the Goblin’s mouth to his bestie Grim Reaper. One says “Coffee, my treat first. 1:0.

Dark and Serious Posters and Preview for jTBC Medical Drama Life with Jo Seung Woo and Lee Dong Wook

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 2, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 2, 2018
Two characters from the drama "Life."

This year we’ve had police K-drama Live and now comes medical K-drama Life, not to be confused though both are squarely in the two most popular drama genres. I figure Life will be a quality product so I haven’t been following along as much with the filming and promos, and this is a good time to catch up with character … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 14, 2018 by ockoalaApril 14, 2018
Actors participating in a script reading session.

I have high hopes for upcoming jTBC medical drama Life, as always the standard to try and reach remains the classic White Tower which recently MBC re-aired and still got ratings. Life centers around a hospital with doctors played by Lee Dong Wook, Jo Seung Woo, Won Jin Ah, and Moon So Ri among a crazy talented supporting cast. The … Continue reading →

Fashionable model sipping tea in stylish attire.

It’s hilarious what a few days late posting something can totally change the context.

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 12, 2018 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2018
Person holding plush toys in winter attire.

I wonder if looking perplexingly unattractive comes hand-in-hand with being a promotional ambassador for the upcoming 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic starting next month. How else to explain first Jang Geun Seok and now Lee Dong Wook all looking fairly worse for wear while doing a promo event. The waxy white visage and bad hairstyle have afflicted  both actors, and made … Continue reading →

The combination of Lee Dong Wook and a cold winter beach fits perfectly into the Esquire ethos, and comes at a great time to remember Lee Dong Wook’s now most famous drama role.

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 14, 2017 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2017
Three women in colorful outfits at event.

This was definitely one of the better fashion events for K-stars, not necessarily all the outfits but at least the attempt to break out of the vanilla norm. There was color and patterns and unique styles at the VLTN fashion pop-up shop event in Seoul last week.
