Pretty Young Newbies Cast as the Leads of the Japanese Movie Version of Itazura na Kiss

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 24, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 23, 2015
Anime characters and live-action actors side by side.

Casting is complete and filming underway for the upcoming Japanese movie adaptation of popular shoujo manga Itazura na Kiss. The movie is called Itazura na Kiss The Movie ~Haisukuru hen~ (Mischievous Kiss The Movie: High School version) and stars two newbies in the lead roles of cold smart male lead Irie Naoki and bumbling one-track minded Aihara Kotoko. Hitting all … Continue reading →

Itazura na Kiss Getting a Live-action Japanese Movie Adaptation

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 2, 2015 by ockoalaJuly 1, 2015
Couple in school uniform, romantic scene.

The popular shoujo manga Itazura na Kiss (It Started with a Kiss) has officially crossed over to the zombie undead territory. How else to explain why this sweet but flimsy yarn is getting yet another live-action adaptation? Is anyone else still clamoring for the story of a dim-witted but persistent high school girl and the way she wore down and … Continue reading →

From Favorite to Best: The Three Versions of Itazura na Kiss Poll and Discussion

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 22, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 25, 2013

Everyone has their own favorite flavor of ice-cream, and even the exact same flavor of ice-cream can taste different despite the same basic ingredients of milk and sugar. I look at the various drama adaptations of the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss (It Started with a Kiss) as basically different ice-cream shops doing their own strawberry ice-cream. It’s sweet, pink, … Continue reading →

Jung So Min and Kim Hyun Joong Attends Playful Kiss Fan Meeting in Tokyo

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 9, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2012

My pretty Playful Kiss babies Jung So Min and Kim Hyun Joong were reunited earlier this month for a fan meeting in Tokyo, and Hyun Joong also followed that up with some performances for his new mini-album. It’s almost the one-year anniversary of PK’s premiere, which also reminds me that I’ve been recapping dramas for an entire year. How time … Continue reading →

Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min Attend Press Conference in Japan for Playful Kiss

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 6, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2012

Now that’s more like it, kids! After holding a fan meeting for Playful Kiss in Japan, where Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min were adorable together but less touchy-feely than I would have liked, the two of them attended a press conference the day after to answer more PK-related questions for the Japanese media. All I know is that … Continue reading →

Jung So Min and Kim Hyun Joong Attend Playful Kiss Fan Meeting in Japan

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 3, 2011 by ockoalaMay 3, 2011

[Edit: I’m adding new official newspaper photos as it becomes available] Coming across this news is like finding an ice-cream sundae complete with whip cream and a cherry on top. P-Kissers, you can all come out of the woodworks now, cuz Ha Ni and Seung Jo are back, baby! Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min were in Osaka yesterday for a … Continue reading →

Valentine’s Day Tribute: A Look at the Couple’s Outfits in Playful Kiss

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 11, 2011 by ockoalaFebruary 11, 2011

I know V-day hasn’t arrived yet, but happy things can be shared early, no? Last night I went to sleep with a mile-wide grin on my face. Why? Because I am finally re-watching Playful Kiss for the first time since it concluded (and since I wrote my final recap for episode 7 of the Youtube edition). In the intervening months, I’ve … Continue reading →

Mnet Japan Releases New BTS Footage of Playful Kiss

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 29, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 29, 2011

It’s only been a little over two months since Playful Kiss concluded with its full sixteen-episode television plus seven-episode Youtube special run. It’s hard to fangirl HyunMin if neither of them ever do anything together since wrapping filming, nor do they drop loaded hints in the most obvious of places. *pouts* Truth be told, Kim Hyun Joong has been exceedingly … Continue reading →

MV Montage to the Best Kisses and Couples of 2010

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 9, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 9, 2011

I’ve seen quite a few MVs floating around various video sharing sites that aim to collect and showcase the best K-drama kisses of 2010. After watching quite a few, I must say that 2010 was exceedingly fanservicy with the kissing and the cute couples. Of my favorite K-drama couples of all-time, quite a few actually come from 2010 dramas. Below … Continue reading →

Jung So Min and Kim Hyun Joong at the MBC 2010 Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2010

MBC held its 2010 Drama Awards yesterday, and I can’t let the year end without a shout out to Dr. Baek Seung Jo and Nurse Oh Ha Ni. Our Playful Kiss newlyweds showed up at a rather tame and comparatively lackluster event (since MBC was the ratings laggard behind SBS and KBS all year).

A Koala Reminisces: 2010 Year End K-Drama Reviews

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 22, 2010 by ockoalaJanuary 29, 2012

2010 heralded the dawn of a new decade. Where’d the last decade go? I could have sworn that I took a brief nap after college, only to wake up with an entire family and a boatload of new responsibilities. On a more drama-centric note, 2010 also marked my transition from a passive drama watcher into an active drama blogger. I wouldn’t be here but … Continue reading →

Playful Kiss Promotional Tour in Taiwan Cancelled

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 22, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2010

This weekend’s highly anticipated promotional tour in Taiwan for Playful Kiss is sadly a no-go. Kim Hyun Joong, who appears to be unable to stop working for even a day (poor baby), is suffering from exhaustion due to his work schedule and is in much need of rest. His co-star Jung So Min will not be going either, since without … Continue reading →

First Batch of Headers

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 2, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 2, 2010

My wonderful drama friends have been nothing if not generous with their time and talent. I’ve steadily been getting tons of custom headers for AKP, and I cannot thank enough those folks who have given me such wonderful gifts – a big shout out to wiggles and vorticella! You can find all the current batch of headers in this post. … Continue reading →
