Two people making heart shapes together.

Looks like all it took was a K-drama adapted from a popular Chinese source novel for the rumored Chinese entertainment ban on K-ent to be lifted.

Three individuals in traditional attire, laughing together.

Okay, I’m officially in love with Lee Jun Ki‘s version of 4th Prince from Bu Bu Jing Xin.

Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk Confirmed as Leads for MBC Drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 10, 2019
Two young adults posing for a photo.

Lee Sung Kyung is rather polarizing for me to watch as an actress, she’s definitely memorable onscreen but sometimes for the wrong reasons. The same came be said for Nam Joo Hyuk but in the exact opposite way, he’s definitely not memorable onscreen except in rare instances. That’s why it’s entertaining in a potential hot mess way that MBC has … Continue reading →

Cosmopolitan Korea certainly scored a coup on landing the cast of the K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin, turning the Goryeo princes from Bobogyungsim: Ryeo (Scarlet Heart: Moon Lovers) back into their snappy modern incarnations.

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 4, 2016 by ockoalaJuly 4, 2016
Movie poster featuring two contrasting characters.

One of these things is not like the others is my first reaction upon seeing the just released official character posters for the Korean drama version of Bu Bu Jing Xin. The concerted effort to distinguish male lead Lee Jun Ki‘s 4th Prince, from the C-drama version’s understated steely scholar and also from the other princes in the K-version called … Continue reading →

Season 4 of Three Meals a Day Sends Fishing Village Cast Plus Nam Joo Hyuk to Gochang Countryside

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 18, 2016 by ockoalaJune 17, 2016
Four people farming in a lush green field.

I love Three Meals a Day, its a reality show that conceptually shouldn’t work because it sounds so boring, yet with the right cast, guest stars, and deft directing the entire endeavor comes off as a warm soothing meal for the jaded soul. It brings audiences into a simpler world and serves to humanize the Korean stars appearing in the … Continue reading →

I’ve always had a soft spot for Nam Joo Hyuk even when he was getting slammed for being unqualified to be the male lead or even getting cast in new dramas. He was never that bad for me, bad meaning sucking the air out of a drama and making me cringe, and his limitations were of the inexperienced kind where … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 24, 2016 by ockoalaMay 24, 2016
Person in traditional attire writing at table.

Hair seems to be the bulk of all commentary around the upcoming K-version adaptation of Chinese romance novel Bu Bu Jing Xin (Startling with Each Step). To be more precise, the hair discussion all revolves around the side-swept eye covering thatch of locks over male lead Lee Jun Ki‘s left eye, a look I think he pulls off even if … Continue reading →

Person eating cake with a stylish pose.

Goes to show what a good role can do in changing impressions. Nam Joo Hyuk is doing just swell in the cast of Cheese in the Trap, not as much as Seo Kang Joon is changing impressions in his second male lead role, but enough to not continue to disappoint as a lump of coal. It’s actually good enough to … Continue reading →
