Lee Jong Seok Models for MVIO and Turns Down Multiple Personality K-drama Beautiful Mind

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 20, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 20, 2015

I think Lee Jong Seok may have dodged a bullet here by passing on in development K-drama Beautiful Mind (formerly Dr. Frankenstein). Last week came the surprising news that Beautiful Mind/Dr. Frankenstein, the project that was being touted last year in late 2014 among the multiple personality glut of dramas, was still being shopped around and that red hot young actor Lee … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 18, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 19, 2015
Four young men in stylish outfits.

The K-media recently wrote an article crowning the four young kings of K-dramas, the ones who still bring in domestic ratings, buzz, and/or overseas appeal even in this age of low television ratings. On the list are Joo Won, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Min Ho, and Lee Jong Seok, which will make their fans happy I’m sure, as well as … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Offered Male Lead in KBS Drama Beautiful Mind, Formerly Dr. Frankenstein

I totally forgot about this in development drama, and mostly thought it went to die an ignominious death at the grave where dramas that never get off the ground commit seppuku. Turns out KBS has retained multiple personality medical drama Dr. Frankenstein in its back pocket this whole time and is now ready to revive the whole thing with a fresh coat … Continue reading →

Millet Wastes the Awesome Chemistry of Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye with Second Lackluster CF Campaign

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 11, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 10, 2015
Two hikers posing in outdoor gear.

I guess credit has to be given to Korean outdoor wear brand Millet for batting two-out-of-two for this year’s CF campaigns. Too bad it’s two-out-of-two in striking out miserably, made all the worse by landing two fantastic brand models in Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye who have proven chemistry with each other and as models. For the early … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok and Jung Yong Hwa to Guest on Happy Camp Episodes Set in Busan Korea

The Korean cross-over into Chinese entertainment projects has fully hit the trifecta of movies, dramas, and even variety shows. With Yoon Eun Hye doing the fashion program Muse Dress 2 (The Goddess’s New Outfit), that caps a long two years worth of Korean entertainers going on Chinese variety programs as guests, to promote their latest project, or just to keep … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Surprises Kim Woo Bin at His Fan Meeting Birthday Celebration

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 29, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 28, 2015
Two performers on stage with microphones.

I love a good bromance, even better if the two dudes are both faves of mine. That’s the case now with super best buddies Lee Jong Seok and Kim Woo Bin, the two meeting on the set of School 2013 and not being shy with showing their affection for each other. Even the slightest sliver of shipper-dom for these two … Continue reading →

Naver Ranks the Top 7 Ratings Champions for K-dramas Aired From 2010-2015

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 21, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 21, 2015
Top seven figures ranked by popularity.

With K-drama ratings so woefully low these past two years, and probably starting the general downward spiral even earlier than that, it’s still worth taking a look at which actors and actresses are the current crop of ratings leaders. One can argue overseas popularity and dramas viewing numbers, but the K-advertisers still look to domestic set top ratings and for … Continue reading →

Fun K-drama casting rumors, more legit than random fan daydreams of “I want so-and-so to star in this drama”, are making the rounds to shake up this Wednesday hump day. DC is abuzz with two separate juicy casting reveals by a poster who has a great track record of casting spoilers that later turn out to be true. Even then, … Continue reading →

Today’s lesson comes courtesy of K-tabloid Dispatch – don’t piss it off otherwise it’ll act like a spurned mistress.

I’m starting to get impatient waiting for news on Lee Jong Seok‘s next acting project. My gut tells me it’ll be a movie since his last work was the drama Pinocchio. I still don’t know why that drama wasn’t a buzzier hit, it really had everything working for me from OTP chemistry down to a impactful fully developed story. It was … Continue reading →

Besties Lee Jong Seok and Kim Woo Bin Coincidentally Hit with Respective Supremely Awkward New CF Campaigns

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 10, 2015 by ockoalaJune 10, 2015
Young couple sitting in a garden setting.

Have you ever taken one look at a picture and the immediate visceral reaction is “Uhmmmmm, no.” Maybe not as intense as a “hells no”, but definitely eliciting the reaction of wanting to send the whole thing back to sender to re-conceptualize it all. It’s rather cute that good friends Lee Jong Seok and Kim Woo Bin recently got stuck … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Ushers in Summer in Maui for Allure Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 19, 2015 by ockoalaMay 19, 2015

It feels weird not having a Lee Jong Seok drama on the horizon now that it’s been five months since he wrapped his last drama Pinocchio. That’s a high note as any to take a rest but the oddity comes from him working on a new drama every six months or so since early 2013. He did School 2013 followed by … Continue reading →
