Seo In Guk Luxuriates in Mega Riches and Nam Ji Hyun is a Super Country Girl in First Stills From Shopping King Louie

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 25, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 25, 2016

Uber rich chaebols or country girls are not a dime a dozen, not even in K-dramas even if it feels that way, so it’s going to be amusing to see the contrasting lifestyle sparks fly in upcoming MBC drama Shopping King Louie. I’m less into the concept as I am amused by how great leads Seo In Guk and Nam Ji … Continue reading →

Drama Filming Starts for MBC’s Shopping King Louie with Seo In Guk and Nam Ji Hyun

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 2, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 2, 2016
Four portraits of young Asian actors.

K-actor Seo In Guk really is quite prolific, averaging about two dramas a year and even doing a fair amount of cameos. He’s currently starring in cable drama Squad 38 but is also diving into filming for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Shopping King Louie. I’m not a Seo In Guk fan so his pervasiveness in so many dramas doesn’t do … Continue reading →

K-actor Hairstyle Preferences: Up with Forehead or Down with Fringe

I don’t think this will end up being some great debate as much as a fun time to share personal visual preferences. While Korean actors are well known for being intensely easy on the eyes, sometimes their styling onscreen and in real life leave much to be desired – whether it’s visible pink lipstick in character, hilariously awkward ensembles, or … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi Celebrates January Birthday as the Late 86 and 87 Birthday Boys Get Closer to Military Service

January 13th is my boy Lee Seung Gi‘s birthday, which makes the first birthday of a major Korean star in this new year 2016, and with it comes the reminder that it’s starting to go down to the wire for the end of the year 86ers and the huge batch of 87ers. Yoo Ah In, born in October of 86, … Continue reading →

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

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 →

SNSD Member Sunny Reportedly Dating Seo In Guk

This is wholly unsurprising, other than the swift denials of both agencies. According to breaking news by Sports Seoul, another member of the top girl’s group SNSD is off the market, making me wonder if SM Entertainment shouldn’t be considering a name change from Girl’s Generation to Taken Ladies Era or something like that. Cute perky Sunny is reportedly dating singer-actor Seo … Continue reading →

2014 KBS Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2014

Despite being the perennial prime time ratings loser in 2014, the KBS Drama Awards was heads and tails better than what MBC put on the night before in both fashion, star power, and actually awarding quality acting. Of course not every deserving performance got recognized but the network tried and didn’t pander as much to promoting the young and pretty. Veteran … Continue reading →

Big Three Networks Line Up Pretty Leading Lady MCs for Year End Drama Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 11, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 10, 2014

Looks like the big three Korean networks are all set for the year end drama awards despite what has been unanimously labeled a lackluster year in both ratings and drama quality. There might be sterling outliers here and there but overall the audiences responded with a collective meh. If the networks couldn’t produce the quality then it might as well … Continue reading →

The Master’s Sun Releases Possibly the Best Long Preview EVER

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 31, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2013

Yup, there is no mincing words here, gotta call it like I see it. The Master’s Sun held a press conference yesterday and released a long 12-minute preview for the drama. I was all ready to write about the sartorial misses of the cast, but then I watched the long preview and every single thought flew out the window other … Continue reading →

So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin Go are a Tricolor Couple for The Master’s Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 24, 2013

I might be jinxing the Hong Sisters by admitting that I’m pre-loving The Master’s Sun already on stills and previews alone, but I doubt my little fingers-crossed affection will really be the critical element as to whether this drama will suck or rock. Frankly I expect all their dramas to start off rocking and end up sucking, but even then … Continue reading →

Oddball Official Stills and Posters for The Master’s Sun with So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 13, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2013

With I Hear Your Voice getting a two-episode extension (for the sake of its rabid fans I sure hope this isn’t a bad bad decision by the network to milk ratings for the sake of narrative flow and become a Protect the Boss part-deux), The Master’s Sun gets an extra week to do its thang before premiering in the second … Continue reading →

The Master’s Sun Reveals First Stills of Gong Hyo Jin and Seo In Guk

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 9, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 10, 2013

Good lord what in the world happened to Seo In Guk? This is the same boy who was the hottie and smartie boy next door in Answer Me 1997? Maybe the same boy minus half his body mass. Following on the heels of the sneak peek of male lead So Ji Sub in The Master’s Sun, the first stills have been … Continue reading →

First Look at So Ji Sub in The Master’s Sun Plus Cast Script Reading Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 6, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 5, 2013

It’s strange how expectation rises and falls with K-dramas that appear middling for whatever reason. Right now my interest in the upcoming Hong Sisters drama The Master’s Sun is increasing but I don’t know how long it’ll stay there. It’s increasing because this drama seems to be really embracing the dark side of its far-out concept. An ordinary girl discovers one day that she … Continue reading →
