Kim Soo Hyun and Park Bo Gum are Top K-stars Who Elicit Female Viewers Motherly Instincts

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 21, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 20, 2016

I gotta give polling site Moolmong credit for even coming up with this particular poll topic, but then again it’s probably run out of more mainstream subjects to inquire about. Korean ladies were polled on which K-star elicited their most motherly instincts, which seems anathema that viewers would want to mother the hotties in question rather than dream of them … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Melts Hearts as the Domesticated Leading Man in Teaser Stills for Davichi’s Comeback MV

This is too blatant and ballsy in an adorable way not to promote and share. The ladies of Korean ballad duo Davichi are releasing their sixth EP this month and found super popular K-actor Lee Jong Seok to be their leading man in the MV for their second single “From Giving Love to Receiving Love”. Beyond saying “I approve!”, I am … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Limited Edition Branded Cellphones Goes on Sale in China in November

This might be the case of a celebrity version of the Amazon Fire Phone, i.e. no one wants it, or it might be sourced and priced to sell just enough to make it worth the while. C-news is reporting that popular Hallyu actor Lee Jong Seok will be collaborating with a Chinese mobile phone manufacturer to release his own branded … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Holds Fan Meeting in Japan After Wrapping W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 28, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 27, 2016

When I view recently ended MBC drama W: Two Worlds from the lens of the entire drama, it strikes me as even more impressive with it’s conceptual reach because the drama really hooks all three different taste audiences with Korea, China, and Japan. The fresh story line keeps the domestic audiences engaged, the sleek upscale production makes Chinese audiences entertained, … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Celebrates Birthday on Final Episode Airing of W and Donates Money to Fan Charity Campaign

It’s a job well done for Lee Jong Seok as he finished his K-drama W: Two Worlds and celebrated his 27th birthday on the same day. He actually turned 28 in Korean age on his birthday of September 14th, which also makes it a year closer to when he’ll need to check in for military service. There are still the … Continue reading →

W: Two Worlds with Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo Ends Parallel Universe Twisty Story in Final Episode

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 15, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 14, 2016
Collage of scenes from a Korean drama.

I’m glad I watched MBC‘s Wed-Thurs world hopping drama W: Two Worlds all the way to the end, even if starting midway through it made increasingly little conceptual sense even within the context of a fantasy drama. Maybe the world building aspects in the beginning weren’t as solid as it appeared, or maybe the screenwriter got through the first big conflict … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Contemplative for Fall 2016 Fashion in High Cut Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 3, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 2, 2016

Is it just me or is MBC Wed-Thurs drama W: Two Worlds gone spectacularly cuckoo in the last few episodes. With three more episodes left until it wraps up, what started off as an exhilarating fresh narrative ride has turned into bizarre nonsense even by fantasy element standards. It’s such a shame as Lee Jong Seok is doing so well in … Continue reading →

Production of W: Two Worlds Promises Episodes 7-8 Will be Packed with Excitement and Narrative Goodness

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 30, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 29, 2016
Couple embracing, one holding a gun.

My fave currently airing K-drama is now W: Two Worlds after four exhilarating episodes, and it’s not because of all that kissing and skinship so far even if it’s much appreciated. The flirting is also fantastic, with the meta of real world Yeon Joo being a super fan of manhwa world male lead Kang Chul. The drama has come from … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Designs and Models T-shirt with All Sales Donations to Benefit Victims of Child Abuse

This week’s episode 5 of the surprisingly fantastic tvN ghostly drama Let’s Fight Ghost was about domestic child abuse. It totally made me cry since a mom’s biggest fear is any injury to her child, and in serendipitous timing of things comes news that K-actor Lee Jong Seok is partnering with popular Korean fashion designer Ja In Song for a … Continue reading →

Uncontrollably Fond Takes the Lead Over W: Two Worlds in Wed-Thurs Drama Ratings

The ratings have shaken out for the current Wed-Thurs prime time drama slate and it’s a continuing win for KBS and Uncontrollably Fond. The first episode premiere of W: Two Worlds settled into a comfortable middle spot – UF took the lead with its episode 5 garnering an increase to 12.9% AGB nationwide and 14% AGB Seoul, while W’s first … Continue reading →

Thrilling Long 7-minute Preview for W: Two Worlds Heightens Expectations on Eve of Premiere

Tonight is the first episode airing of W: Two Worlds on MBC, the highly anticipated sci-fi/fantasy action and romance drama with Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo. The two leads were adorable at the press conference, evidencing cute chemistry and giving off comfortable vibes with each other. They are the universe-crossed lovers within the story, with Han Hyo Joo’s … Continue reading →

Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Seok are Gamely Confused in New Stills and Preview for W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 15, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 14, 2016

Crossed paths or fated destiny is the name of the romantic entanglement in W: Two Worlds. But I have a feeling there is a whole lot more at stake in this drama than whether the OTP will end up together, and that’s always the recipe for a great romance grounded story because it’s the other pressing stuff that give the … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo Breach Dimensions to Meet in W: Two Worlds

It’s T-minus countdown time as upcoming MBC Wed drama W: Two Worlds premieres in a little over a week on July 20th. So far I’m still waiting for full on crazy rabid drama love, with neither of the recent two anticipated dramas for me in Doctors or Uncontrollably Fond being love at first sight. I’m still watching both but am … Continue reading →
