Two individuals saluting in a casual setting.

It’s enlistment time for Lee Hong Ki and better to get that head shaved and basic training done with before winter rolls around and the chill descends. Lee Hong Ki is one of the late to enlist ones but has managed to churn out plenty of music, variety, and acting projects under his belt in recent years so that he’s … Continue reading →

Fugly Fashion Returns as K-stars Attend Seoul 2018 Winter Shows

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 26, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 25, 2018
Model in purple outfit and sunglasses.

It’s 2018 but feels like many hideous fashion moments through the decades made it’s incongruous return this week via the 2018 Seoul Fashion Shows. Normally stylish Gong Hyo Jin attended two shows and she was the least horribly decked out among many of her fellow star attendees, and the outfit above is just dorky more than anything. Some fashion elements … Continue reading →

My Lee Seung Gi has been freed! Like his character Song Oh Gong with the geumganggo magical bracelet binding him, the ending of Hwayugi feels like he’s taken off the shackles and can move on to better things but also knowing he’s tried his best. He arrived late at the drama wrap party so wasn’t snapped by the media but … Continue reading →

This Saturday is the premiere of tvN drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) and my optimism remains high even as excitement is tempered by the sad news overwhelming K-ent this week with the passing of a much loved male idol.

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 13, 2017 by ockoalaDecember 12, 2017
Cast of a fantasy drama in clouds.

Hoo boy is the excitement really heating up now for the December 23rd arrival of tvN fantasy drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey). And right before Christmas, too, so if the drama turns out to be fantastic it’ll feel like a present from the drama clause just for me being good this year.

I feel like there is going to be a lot of fierceness coming for tvN drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey), equal parts from both genders based on the first set of drama stills. There was fur coat bedecked Lee Seung Gi smirking as the Monkey King followed by circus barker metrosexual version of the Bull Demon King played by Cha … Continue reading →

Hong Sisters tvN Drama Hwayugi Starts Filming with First Look at Cha Seung Won and Lee Hong Ki

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 11, 2017 by ockoalaNovember 11, 2017
Korean drama cast photo featuring multiple actors.

This is a massively star-studded cast for a K-drama, which is a bit surprising since the Hong Sister‘s ratings hit streak was four years ago with The Master’s Sun and the subsequent drama Warm and Cozy was a big dud. I’m hoping this cast won’t be wasted for their ambitious Hwayugi, a K-drama inspired and based on the Chinese classic … Continue reading →

Unattractive Outfits and Makeup Steals the Spotlight at the VIP Star Premiere of Real

Celebrities posing at a film premiere event.

The VIP movie premiere for Kim Soo Hyun‘s summer 2017 thriller movie Real is as much a hot mess as early critic reviews of his movie has been. Namely, a whole lotta raw material but presented all wrong. Even weirder is having some attendees glowering or grimacing through their photo ops, as if being there is against their will and … Continue reading →

K-ent reported last night that idol-actor Lee Hong Ki of band FT Island is dating rising young actress Han Bo Reum.
