Consider me surprised and impressed that a poll conducted recently landed an actor currently in military service on the top of the list.

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2019 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2019
Comparison of images from 2009 and 2019.

The current It thing on Facebook is the 10 Year Challenge, to post a picture of yourself today versus 10 years ago on your first post when Facebook started. Some people have aged hard, some hardly at all, but looks are merely superficial to have much everyone has emotionally and mentally aged in a decade. For the K-actors we know … Continue reading →

Who Are K-dramas Best Ugly Criers – Past, Present, and Future

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 29, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Crying young man in traditional attire.

Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it.

I can’t believe it’s been twelve years since K-actor Lee Min Ho debuted. It feels both too short and too long, short because he’s done so many dramas and the time flew by, and long because he rocketed to stardom so soon after debuting thanks to the serendipitous timing of landing his most iconic role of Gu Jun Pyo in … Continue reading →

Woman beside a coffee cart, man smiling.

I still vividly remember the three-way epic K-drama showdown way back in 2010, during what will now be remembered as the tail end of the Hallyu drama heydays. Three high profile prime time dramas premiered on the exact same day with Cinderella Unni, Personal Taste, and Prosecutor Princess. Each would have their strengths and weakness, and rabid fanbase, and I … Continue reading →

K-actor Lee Min Ho has been serving his military enlistment for over a year now but he’s finally donning the army fatigues after going in for basic training last month. I’d say army private Lee Min Ho is about as believable as all the hottie oppas before him but then we all accepted military genius god Song Joong Ki in … Continue reading →

I’m surprised by this news solely due to timing as I thought it was already done with. K-actor Lee Min Ho will be doing his mandatory four-weeks of basic training starting this month despite enlisting last year in May of 2017 after finishing up his drama Legend of the Blue Sea and doing some farewell fan meetings.
