Lee Jong Seok Rumored to Join the C-version of We Got Married Co-produced by MBC

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 12, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 12, 2015

Take this potential casting news with a grain of salt, but for sure the show is happening. MBC is partnering up with a Chinese media to co-produce the Chinese version of celebrity fake dating/co-habiting show We Got Married. This trend follows the official licensing last year of popular K-variety shows such as Daddy, Where Are We Going? and Running Man … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye Quiets Detractors with Credible Romantic Attraction and Tension in Pinocchio

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2015

Whether Pinocchio is considered a modest or moderate success as a K-drama, one element of undeniable breakthrough was leading lady Park Shin Hye finally showing off an all-around acting performance that includes credible romantic stirring and attraction on her part. Whether she got over the hump on her own or leading man Lee Jong Seok had a helping hand in it, … Continue reading →

2014 SBS Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2015

With the 2014 SBS Drama Awards, another prolific if underwhelming in quality year wraps up in K-dramaland. There wasn’t an underlying reason I saved this network for last in coverage, MBC went first and I only had time to write about the KBS awards before passing out sick as a dog after watching the new year’s fireworks light off. I … Continue reading →

Lee Jong Seok Makes Sniffing a Feather Look Dashing in Latest Agency Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 28, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 27, 2014

I have an inkling that Pinocchio may turn me into a full blown Lee Jong Seok fangirl. It can’t be helped if that happens since his character is beyond awesome. I grew to like him after falling for his Dr. Park Hoon in Dr. Stranger so it’ll be just going to the logical conclusion to grow that like to love … Continue reading →

Song Yoon Ah and Lee Jong Seok Accept their Best Acting 2014 Grimme Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 14, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 13, 2014

After the horror trainwreck that was Dr. Stranger earlier this year, which actually did respectable ratings vis-a-vis all the prime time dramas in 2014, it’s such a relief to see Lee Jong Seok end his year on a high note. There’s the currently airing Pinocchio, which I love and it appears the sentiment is shared by many others, and now … Continue reading →

Bevy of Super Tall K-actors Towering Onscreen in Pinocchio and Pride and Prejudice

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 13, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 13, 2014

I know K-dramas have been on a flower boy roll for the last few years, but recently I’ve really started noticing that all the leading men in K-dramas have gotten progressively taller and taller. Early Hallyu had quite a few leading men who can be considered actor-short (i.e. Tom Cruise level height), not short compared to the average Asian man but … Continue reading →

K-media Crowns the Four New Hallyu Kings Lee Min Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Jong Seok, and Kim Woo Bin

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 12, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 12, 2014

Whether you like them or not, I think it safe to at least agree that the new generation of Hallyu kings are here and the overall consensus includes Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Min Ho, Lee Jong Seok, and Kim Woo Bin. Sure a few other popular around Asia twenty-something singer-actors like Lee Seung Gi and Jang Geun Seok could be included, … Continue reading →

More K-drama awards are a-coming! Yay, I guess? The 2014 Grimme Awards will be held at the end of this week on Dec 12th to hand out awards to the already announced winners. The Grimme Awards is an industry award hosted and selected by the Korean Film Cinematographers Association, basically the cameramen of South Korea.

Lee Bo Young Sends Food Truck to Post Makeover Lee Jong Seok at the Pinocchio Set

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 17, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2014

Pinocchio is one of those dramas where there are multiple angles for drama viewers to check it out. There are Park Shin Hye fans hoping she can silence her critics and wash away some of the stupor of Heirs, there are Lee Jong Seok fans praying he’s back to fine form after straying into Dr. Stranger crazyville, and finally there … Continue reading →

Final Batch of Pretty Drama Stills for Pinocchio Premiering Wednesday Night

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 11, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 11, 2014

I’m trying to keep my expectations low for Pinocchio which premieres in mere hours on Wednesday night in Korea on SBS. Forget the hyped up casting of Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye, or whatever residual audience love remains for the production team from it’s last drama I Hear Your Voice. What I really want to see is an … Continue reading →

Cuteness Galore from Latest OTP-centric Stills and Teaser for Pinocchio

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 8, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 8, 2014

I thought SBS was done with Pinocchio promo stuff after holding the press conference and releasing the long preview but I was wrong as the production has dropped a few more nuggets of goodness this weekend. The focus on the promos have been on the teenage time period for the two leads even though most of the drama is set … Continue reading →

Pinocchio Holds Press Conference and Releases Long Exposition-driven Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 6, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 6, 2014

The final promotional push is done for Pinocchio so all that’s left is to wait 5 more days until Wednesday night arrives. The cast attended the press conference yesterday as the production revealed both the official drama posters and the always welcome long video preview. I found the posters sweet and fluffy like the cotton clouds leads Park Shin Hye … Continue reading →

Pinocchio Continues the High School Era Sweetness in Third Drama Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 5, 2014 by ockoalaNovember 5, 2014

It’s Wednesday so more Pinocchio goodies! It’s either that or more My Lovely Girl crud, which sadly I’ll be sharing later, but let’s enjoy some promising stuff first. Pinocchio premieres next week right on schedule and remains my most anticipated drama. I not only like leads Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye, the story board also sounds quite up … Continue reading →
