School-aged Pictures of Popular Hallyu K-actors Show the Before and After

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2015
Four young men in formal school portraits.

For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →

Three men posing together, smiling in classroom.

There are dramas which get scuttled, most recently with Goodbye Mr. Black with Moon Chae Won and Lee Jin Wook, and earlier in the summer with Shin Mina‘s Let’s Have Dinner Together, and then there are dramas that some want to see get kiboshed which inch closer to airing. Filming has begun on Park Shi Hoo‘s comeback drama Neighborhood Hero, … Continue reading →

Scholar Who Walks the Night Slays with Romance and Thrills in Awesome Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 7, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 7, 2015
Two stylish individuals posing together confidently.

I’m going to preemptively thank Scholar Who Walks the Night for releasing the most riveting long K-drama preview this year, for me at least but really that’s all I personally care about since I’m the one looking for some drama inspiration. I can’t proffer assurances that it’ll be great but the extended look had me crying (during the scene with … Continue reading →

Official Drama Posters for Scholar Who Walks the Night Dazzles with Dramatic Flair

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 2, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 1, 2015
Romantic scene from a historical drama series.

Feel free to have your own opinions regarding upcoming vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night as its certainly been one of the most eventful K-drama productions this year. I find the not too serious and a tad over-the-top style charmingly cheesy rather than annoyingly florid. It’s got just enough dramatic flair in all the teaser materials befitting the whole vampire … Continue reading →

Colorful Character Stills and Second Rollicking Teaser for Scholar Who Walks the Night

Group of individuals in traditional attire.

July is finally here and that means Scholar Who Walks the Night is just around the corner. The drama arrives next Wed on MBC and the network continues to pull out all the punches when it comes to promo material. This is one drama that can’t blame failure on a lack of promotion. Today the drama dropped a second teaser … Continue reading →

Kim So Eun Transforms Beautifully into a Joseon Noble Lady for Scholar Who Walks the Night

Young woman in traditional Korean attire.

It’s been a busy month for the production of Scholar Who Walks the Night, going from full speed filming to losing both leads one after another to temporary injury. Things are back on track and the production has been steadily releasing drama stills to stir up interest. My interest is piqued for sure by the better than expected stills but … Continue reading →

It’s Lee Jun Ki Vampire vs Lee Soo Hyuk Vampire in Scholar Who Walks the Night

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 26, 2015 by ockoalaJune 25, 2015
Vampire with blood on lips and dark attire.

It’s yet early to render a verdict on Scholar Who Walks the Night, but it’s not too early to start fangirling over the hot guys in this drama. I may have a soft spot for acting-challenged Changmin, who could surprise me so who knows, but I definitely am excited to see Lee Jun Ki and Lee Soo Hyuk‘s vampire vs. … Continue reading →

First Action-packed Teaser for Scholar Who Walks the Night

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 24, 2015 by ockoalaJune 24, 2015
Historical characters in dramatic, moody settings.

The first teaser is out for upcoming fantasy vampire sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night, and the verdict remains unclear as it straddles the line between potential hot mess and potential awesome drama crack. Thirty seconds isn’t enough for a first impression either way, but is enough to keep me firmly in the anticipation track. The drama started filming quite … Continue reading →

First Look at Lee Soo Hyuk Along with Hale and Heart Lee Jun Ki on the Set of Scholar Who Walks the Night

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 20, 2015 by ockoalaJune 19, 2015
Two scenes featuring a character in costume.

Consider me impressed with the visuals so far of all the male leads of Scholar Who Walks the Night. First there was Lee Jun Ki as the titular vampire scholar, which is basically a role he can play in his sleep and the sageuk garb an outfit he rocks like no other. After his onset accident last week, Lee Jun … Continue reading →

The Casts of Scholar Who Walks the Night and High Society Get Busy Script Reading

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 17, 2015 by ockoalaMay 17, 2015
Group script reading session with actors and crew.

The work week is off to a nice start in drama land with the release of script reading stills from two upcoming dramas that I’m looking forward to. Even better is that these two dramas aren’t competing against each other in the same time slot so I can enjoy both without feeling like I’m picking between favorites. MBC is prepping … Continue reading →

Lee Soo Hyuk Trades Elle Korea Suits for Scholar Who Walks the Night Vampire Look

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 11, 2015 by ockoalaMay 10, 2015
Black and white portrait of a thoughtful person.

It’s been satisfying watching all three model-turned-actor Vampire Idol henchmen attain K-ent success one after another to varying degrees. First Kim Woo Bin, then Hong Jong Hyun, and now Lee Soo Hyuk, all three went from supporting roles in a wacky cable sitcom to holding their own in dramas or movies. It took me awhile to warm up to Lee … Continue reading →

Scholar Who Walks the Night Releases Character Descriptions and Readies to Start Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 9, 2015 by ockoalaMay 9, 2015
Three people posing for a photo.

With MBC‘s next Wed-Thurs drama Warm and Cozy premiering next week, the network must be relieved that the follow up drama Scholar Who Walks the Night finally locked down the main cast last month. I actually found the casting discussion changes surrounding Night Scholar even more exhausting than befell Kill Me Heal Me, now only time will show whether the end … Continue reading →

Kim So Eun and Lee Soo Hyuk in Talks to Join Scholar Who Walks the Night

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 8, 2015 by ockoalaApril 8, 2015
Five people posing and waving, smiling.

When the casting news first broke Wednesday morning about Kim So Eun joining the upcoming MBC vampire fantasy sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night, the details were unclear as to whether she was up for the leading lady role or a leading lady role. That’s a huge distinction since the former means she’s the heroine of the tale and the … Continue reading →
