Dapper Strange Doctors Lee Jong Seok in High Cut and Park Hae Jin for InStyle Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 23, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2014

I’ll admit to being disappointed initially with Lee Jong Seok‘s headlining of Dr. Stranger, especially followed by Park Hae Jin signing on as the second male lead. My like for these two actors are reversed from the importance of their roles in DS so I would have preferred more Park Hae Jin over Lee Jong Seok. Six-episodes into DS and … Continue reading →

Final Batch of Pretty Lead Stills as Dr. Stranger Gears Up for Premiere on Monday

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 4, 2014 by ockoalaMay 4, 2014

I thought maybe my inexplicable excitement for Dr. Stranger was the result of my last crack drama ending in Bride of the Century and nothing on my plate currently that captures my full attention. But with so many K-dramas line-up on the starting gate for this week’s premiere central I’m still really looking forward to Dr. Stranger so my anticipation for … Continue reading →

Kim Woo Bin and Park Hae Jin Join Other Popular Stars for the 10th Anniversary Edition of Men’s Uno China

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 3, 2014 by ockoalaMay 3, 2014

For the 10th anniversary edition of Men’s Uno China magazine, the publication went all out and tapped 10 of the hottest celebrities in Mainland China to be on one of its 10 unique covers. I wonder whose job that was and could I have it? The result is a yummilicious collection of celebs not limited to Chinese actors but also … Continue reading →

Dr. Stranger Holds Somber Press Conference and Releases Interesting 12-min Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 29, 2014 by ockoalaApril 29, 2014

Okay, I’m totally ready for my allergy to Lee Jong Seok to get cured. Not sure it will, but if it happens after I watch Dr. Stranger then so be it. I still think he looks weird but I’m quite liking his character in this drama and a good character plus performance can always win me over. The production of … Continue reading →

Dr. Stranger Drops Additional Character Stills and Waits an Extra Week to Premiere

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 27, 2014 by ockoalaApril 27, 2014

I like Kang Sora a lot because she’s one of the few among the young actresses that doesn’t rely on the cute or the charm to buoy her acting. That’s not to say she’s not cute or charming but merely an appreciation for how she acts first and then her natural ease on the eyes is like the cherry on … Continue reading →

Medical Spy Drama Dr. Stranger Drops Character Stills and Bipolar Toned 3rd Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2014 by ockoalaApril 22, 2014

I find myself increasingly interested in the upcoming SBS drama Dr. Stranger genuinely because of the plot. It sounds so wacky but might be wacky enough to work. Lee Jong Seok plays a South Korean born but North Korean educated genius surgeon who escapes the regime and ends up working in a top notch hospital in Seoul. He’s been recruited … Continue reading →

Second Preview for Dr. Stranger Shows Doomed First Love Torn Apart

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2014 by ockoalaApril 16, 2014

All I have to say about the upcoming SBS drama Dr. Stranger is that it feels rather haphazard and whiplashy in terms of the sudden transitions between moods. The second video preview is out and this one features only Lee Jong Seok and Jin Se Yeon. In the drama, Jin Se Yeon plays two characters – the first is Lee … Continue reading →

Park Hae Jin and Kang Sora Play Engaged Surgeons in Dr. Stranger

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 14, 2014 by ockoalaApril 13, 2014

When I saw the first set of official drama stills featuring the second leads of Dr. Stranger together in a scene, my immediate reaction was “Can I have these two in their own drama?” I actually find Dr. Stranger oddly appealing despite my Lee Jong Seok allergy. I think it comes from him acting older rather than younger like he … Continue reading →

Fast-paced and Intense First Teaser Arrives for Doctor Stranger with Lee Jong Seok and Park Hae Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 8, 2014 by ockoalaApril 8, 2014

I may be anemic to Lee Jong Seok – har har, can’t help but crack a vampire-related joke when it comes to him – but I’m definitely checking out Doctor Stranger when it arrives in early May on SBS. It’s going up against Big Man on KBS with Kang Ji Hwan, who is one of my all-time favorite leading men, but I’m keeping … Continue reading →

First Look at Park Hae Jin and Lee Jong Seok as the Titular Doctor Stranger for SBS

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 6, 2014 by ockoalaApril 8, 2014

I’m still waiting for someone to convince me of the appeal of Lee Jong Seok. Back when School 2013 aired I thought he and Kim Woo Bin would forever be popular actors I would never find interesting enough to watch. I don’t need cookie cutter good looks, far from it really, but I do need my actors to have some … Continue reading →

Park Hae Jin Confirmed and Lee Jong Seok and Park Min Young in Talks to Join Dr. Stranger

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 25, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2014

Park Hae Jin will go from a devoted love-sick swain in You From Another Star to a genius doctor with a secret? I dig that, and he totally deserves the upgrade. I’m thoroughly enjoying Park Hae Jin’s supporting turn in YFAS playing Lee Hwi Kyung, the man-child who has a one-track Cheon Song Yi type of mind, though truth be told … Continue reading →

You From Another Star Drops Underwhelming Official Drama Posters

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 14, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 14, 2013

If you can see my face right now, it’s currently a cross between the internet memes of “Unimpressed” and “Grumpy Cat”. The officials posters for the upcoming Wed-Thurs SBS drama You From Another Star dropped right before the weekend and I almost face-palmed. Compared to the creative and eye-catching batch of official posters from its rival drama Miss Korea, YFAS … Continue reading →

Park Hae Jin Switches Roles in You From Another Star as Choi Min Bows Out Due to Injury

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 2, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 1, 2013

Will still three weeks left until its premiere, You From Another Star appeared to be in fine form since the drama had been well ahead of the curve on casting and filming. Leads Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun were secured early on, the filming has been quietly underway since October, and this K-drama was setting itself up nicely … Continue reading →
