You’re All Surrounded Holds Press Conference and Releases Fantastic 7-min Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I distinctly remember wishing that the cast attending drama press conferences would wear the simple uniform of well-tailored conservative suits and classy ladylike dresses. That was during a period when each successive drama press conference delivered increasingly amount of WTF eyesore fashion assassination. It’s a little sobering to see the last three drama press conferences this week for Dr. Stranger, … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The somber mood in K-ent continues this week even as dramas have gone back to regular programming. The Sewol ferry sinking has dominated news headlines in South Korea and with it the entire nation is in an emotional state of mourning even as unaffected people continue on with their daily lives. The drama wrap parties for this week’s two ending … Continue reading →

Rookie Bumbling Cops Get Tossed into Action in Second Teaser for You’re All Surrounded

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

First off, I love this first drama poster for You’re All Surrounded. It’s not groundbreaking but does two things right – (1) the color is lovely and everyone looks alive as opposed to the recent penchant for dark gritty everyone looks like a vampire stuff, and (2) it manages to stick the entire main cast in (and not just the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Lee Seung Gi + white dress shirt + gun holster? Slay me dead with just a picture, why dont’cha You’re All Surrounded? That’s not a great idea since a dead me is unable to spazz and recap this drama so I suggest you send Seung Gi over to give CPR to noona here. He does know CPR right? Since he … Continue reading →

SBS Drama You’re All Surrounded Releases Colorful and Comedic First Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I got an unexpected and early treat today with the just released first teaser for You’re All Surrounded. It’s the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama following Three Days with Yoochun which wraps up in two weeks. I feel like the late Winter prime time dramas have by and large been such disappointments, nothing so dismal to merit ranting and raving, but … Continue reading →

You’re All Surrounded with Lee Seung Gi and Cha Seung Won Releases Script Reading Stills and Starts Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The Wed-Thurs battle has petered out recently with three dramas that are all tightly bunched together in the low teen digits in ratings. I can’t say Three Days, Age of Feeling (Inspiring Generation), or Sly and Single Again are all dull dramas to have nothing pop out as the forerunner, but none of the three capture my interest is is … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

This is far and away the best casting confirmation in a busy K-ent news day filled with lots of casting reveals. The Spring weekend dramas are lining up its leads with Lee Dong Wook reuniting with his My Girl co-star Lee Da Hae in Hotel King, up against the totally random pairing of Lee Sang Yoon with Gu Hye Sun … Continue reading →

Cha Seung Won was reportedly offered the co-starring role with Han Suk Kyu for the upcoming MBC mega-sageuk called Unprecedented which was to follow after Empress Ki. But this past week has seen major scheduling ripples within MBC suggesting Unprecedented may get pushed back to accommodate Han Suk Kyu’s movie schedule so MBC is scrambling to find something else to … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi and Yoona of SNSD Confirmed to be Dating

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Last year on New Year’s day of 2013, K-ent was rocked with the stunning and out-of-nowhere news that Hallyu superstar and abtastic Rain was dating brainy A-list actress Kim Tae Hee. It really was a WTF moment to hear the news, not that I wasn’t happy for them but the general “where the heck did this come from” confusion. I … Continue reading →

MBC 2013 Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

MBC started off the year end awards show circuit first among the three big networks but being fast doesn’t necessarily mean it got its act together. This network had the shakiest offerings all year in both ratings and quality and in hindsight it had only two dramas worth remembering in Two Weeks and Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident. … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won Both Up for 2013 MBC Drama Award Daesang

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Just the mere thought that I get to see Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won at the same place, attending the year end MBC Drama Awards, makes me giddy with excitement. It’s been a year and a half since they worked together in The King 2 Hearts, also a MBC drama, and to date in 2013 I still haven’t … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Well, if you thought to yourself that all you ever wanted to see was Lee Seung Gi and Lee Seo Jin do a very un-PC parody CF of old school kung fu movies with bad dubbing from the 60s and 70s, then your dream has come true and you can check one off the bucket list. I don’t even want … Continue reading →

Gu Family Separate Vacations: Suzy in Paris and Lee Seung Gi Visits Hawaii for New Magazine Spreads

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

When I saw the upcoming pictorials for Suzy in Harper’s Bazaar and for Lee Seung Gi in Esquire, my first thought was “oh, did modern day Yeol Wool and Kang Chi have a fight and head off on separate vacations?” It’s amusing how it takes awhile after a drama ends to stop associating leads with each other. In this case, … Continue reading →
