I’m always impressed with stage actors even a step above their screen brethren, it takes an immense amount of confidence and practice to act live in front of an audience. I try to watch as many stage productions as available and always bemoan not living in a city with more offerings. Seoul is vibrant with theater culture in both stage … Continue reading →

The play initially got my interest because of news that Moon Geun Young was tapped to play Juliet, with Park Jung Min as her lovelorn Romeo.

Moon Geun Young and Park Jung Min Transform into Romeo and Juliet in Stage Production Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 14, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2016
Romeo and Juliet themed romantic portrait.

The easiest part in writing about Moon Geun Young‘s first acting project of 2016 is not needing to provide a story synopsis. Who doesn’t know Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, even if younger generations may be more familiar with the punk stylized telling of it with the Romeo+Juliet movie. This new adaptation will unfold on the stage so only those lucky … Continue reading →

With so many talented up-and-coming Korean child actresses all growing up beautifully, they continue to have the best role model to look towards in both acting accolades and personal accomplishments.

The SBS 2015 Drama Awards wraps up the trio of year end big K-drama awards shows, and while network was the overall ratings winner for the year the selections for its awards were somewhat underwhelming. Joo Won took home the Daesang for his performance in Yongpal, which I actually liked and now makes me not blah about him, but it … Continue reading →

One side benefit of Moon Geun Young choosing the SBS corpse mystery thriller The Village (Achiara’s Secret) as her next drama is all the great flashbacks to one of her best movies in The Tale of Two Sisters. She wasn’t anywhere near being the lead, not with Im Soo Jung, Uhm Jung Ah and Kim Gab Soo around, but that … Continue reading →
