Light and Dark are the Contrasting Drama Posters of Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo in W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 8, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 7, 2016
Two characters from the drama "W."

The drama posters are out for mind-bendy romance drama W: Two Worlds, or more aptly the W meaning two universes that separate the lead characters played by Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Seok. I love the posters, spare and elegant with a softened light versus dark motif. It’s not particularly creative but the impact in this case sells the … Continue reading →

Han Hyo Joo Freaks Out and Gets Slappy with Lee Jong Seok in New Stills for W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 1, 2016 by ockoalaJune 30, 2016
Couple talking in a boutique store.

It’s good to see the typical K-drama OTP meet-then-fight scene take on a slightly twisty bent in upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds, and in slightly twisty I mean reality bending and likely mind blowing. New stills showing Han Hyo Joo freaking out upon meeting Lee Jong Seok is fantastic, showing the energetic side of her character and also laying … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo are Illustrated and Three Dimensional Characters Meeting in W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 28, 2016 by ockoalaJune 28, 2016
Couple in vibrant cityscape and illustrations.

This may be my favorite K-drama promo series since the beautifully rendered Queen In Hyun’s Man concept teaser where the two leads were mannequins in adjoining windows who then come to life escape the confines of their glass boxes and meet outside. It shouldn’t be a surprise I love this latest drama teaser series for W: Two Worlds since it … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo Cuddle Up in OTP Posters for W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2016 by ockoalaJune 23, 2016
Couple smiling together, promotional photo for W.

The combination of Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo in the promo posters for W: Two Worlds totally sells them as a couple for me. There is a bright warmth about them even with such uninteresting backgrounds, with Han Hyo Joo’s patented toothy beaming smile and Lee Jong Seok with his trademark grin. The light blue dress and slightly … Continue reading →

Different Universes Can’t Keep Fated Lovers Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo Apart in New Stills for W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 22, 2016 by ockoalaJune 21, 2016

Alternate or parallel universes aren’t too impossible a barrier to leap over for destined lovebirds Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Seok in the upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds, which isn’t arriving for another month on July 20th but with so much promotion it feels imminent. The production team for this drama managed to bring time-traveling lovers in Queen In Hyun’s … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Turns into an Olympic Sharpshooter in New Stills from W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 20, 2016 by ockoalaJune 20, 2016

Sharpshooters aren’t my thing but Lee Jong Seok certainly is. His character in upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds has multiple talents and achievements and one of it is being an Olympic gold medal winning target shooter. The drama just released stills of Lee Jong Seok competing at the Olympics with a long barrel pistol and one eye covered. I … Continue reading →

New Preview for W: Two Worlds Has Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo Curious About Each Other’s Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 18, 2016 by ockoalaJune 17, 2016
Man in suit with W logo background.

One of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy series is Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials, which is late teens aimed but I didn’t read until I was an adult and still loved it. I don’t know why I didn’t make the connection until now, but the latest teaser for MBC drama W: Two Worlds totally reminds me of the parallel universes conceit in … Continue reading →

First Teaser for W: Two Worlds Brings Cheeky Action Hero Lee Jong Seok and a Very Confused Han Hyo Joo

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 14, 2016 by ockoalaJune 14, 2016
Couples experiencing emotions in dramatic scenes.

I have no idea what the heck is going on with upcoming MBC drama W: Two Worlds, and in fact the teaser makes the whole strange concept even stranger, but I think I’m already in love with this latest iteration of Lee Jong Seok‘s onscreen persona. I know his Dr. Stranger was just awful beyond ridiculous but he played the … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Rocks Stylish Mysterious Airs in First Stills From MBC Drama W: Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 10, 2016 by ockoalaJune 9, 2016
Smiling man on phone and in car.

Guh, I soooooo can’t wait for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama W: Two Worlds, completely and utterly due to my love for leading man Lee Jong Seok. He’s not the best actor, or the best looking, but for that ephemeral indescribable element he’s just won my heart and I love everything he’s done. The first official stills are out for W … Continue reading →

K-actor Hairstyle Preferences: Up with Forehead or Down with Fringe

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 5, 2016 by ockoalaJune 3, 2016

I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo Attend Script Reading for Parallel Universe MBC Drama W-Two Worlds

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 23, 2016 by ockoalaMay 23, 2016
Cast and crew at a meeting event.

It’s finally here, or at least the start is finally here for upcoming MBC fantasy sci-fi drama W. It’s gotten a clarification name add to the official title W-Two Worlds, which is two words more to help me write about it going forward since the letter W complicates searching, reading, and writing about this exciting television project. Starring Lee Jong … Continue reading →

Yoon Kyun Sang and Lee Jong Seok in Adorable Goofing Around Pictures from Pinocchio Days

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 22, 2016 by ockoalaMay 22, 2016
Two men sitting together, sharing a playful moment.

I recently came across never seen before behind-the-scenes stills from the 2014-2015 K-drama Pinocchio, still one of my favorite K-dramas in recent years, and felt compelled to share for those like-minded folks. These pics feature male lead Lee Jong Seok goofing around with supporting actor Yoon Kyun Sang, with the former remaining super popular even after Pinocchio while the latter … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok is Modern Quirky for Ceci and Throwback Handsome in First Teaser Preview of C-drama Jade Lovers

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 21, 2016 by ockoalaMay 20, 2016
Male model on magazine cover, June 2016.

Consider me pleasantly surprised by the one-two Lee Jong Seok punch this week. He’s on the cover, two different ones to be precise, of Ceci Magazine, and the first sneak peek at his upcoming Chinese-Korean joint production drama Jade Lover with Zheng Shuang is out. I like what I see from both, he’s suitably quirky in his flower boy appeal in … Continue reading →
