So Ji Sub and Shin Mina Lead the Script Reading for KBS Drama Oh My Venus

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 15, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 15, 2015
Group of people focused in a meeting.

Leave it to born sexy So Ji Sub to always find a way to un-sexy himself thoroughly with the use of simple clothes. He does it so spectacularly he always manages to steal the spotlight for the wrong sartorial reasons, and in this case it’s at the script reading for upcoming KBS drama Oh My Venus. It feels a bit … Continue reading →

KBS Finalizes So Ji Sub-Shin Mina Drama with Name Change to Oh My Venus and Casting of Supporting Leads

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 10, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 11, 2015

There’s been major movement this week on upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Oh My God, starting with a name change to Oh My Venus. It’s not a good drama title still, but slightly better than Oh My God which can range from a disaster drama all the way to slapstick comedy with no real clue that it’s supposed to convey. Venus … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2015
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 →

Hyun Bin and Kim Soo Hyun Leads the List of Highest Paid K-actor Drama Salaries

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 4, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 3, 2015
2015 earnings of South Korean male actors.

It was interesting to get a glimpse at the drama salaries of the top Korean actresses, and now it’s time to see how their male counterparts are faring. There is total gender income at the very top as Lee Young Ae and Jeon Ji Hyun both earn 100 million won per drama episode, and the same is true for top … Continue reading →

Oh My God with So Ji Sub and Shin Mina May Get the KBS December Mon-Tues Slot

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 1, 2015
Two people posing for a photo.

There’s a teeny update on upcoming KBS drama Oh My God, a title for me that now conjures up connections to the recently finished Oh My Ghost on tvN, what with the exclamation and the exact same initials. Oh My Ghost was a solid hit for tvN so there are worse dramas for Oh My God to be coincidentally associated with. KBS … Continue reading →

Ha Jung Woo Leads the Korean Male Fans Pick of Their Top 20 Manliest K-actors

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 25, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 25, 2015
Collage of popular male celebrities and rankings.

I’m always entertained by lists and polls, offering a snapshot of the general reaction to the topic at hand without needing to take it seriously. The latest list is interesting in how many selections elicited approving nods from me. tvN did a poll of Korean males to ask who their favorite manly actor was and the top three is basically … Continue reading →

TV Report Discusses the Anticipated K-actor Returns for Fall 2015 Dramas

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 12, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 12, 2015
Five South Korean male celebrities' portraits.

Thanks to TV Report running an article this week about the Korean actor male gods returning to drama land this fall, specifically naming five profile actors in So Ji Sub, Jang Hyuk. Song Joong Ki, Park Hae Jin, and Song Seung Heon, it got me thinking of which actor I was personally most interested in checking out. It’s hands down … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 7, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 7, 2015
Fashionable couple posing for a photoshoot.

KBS seems to be in a bind right now with the next drama to follow upcoming Mon-Tues drama Taming Mother-in-Law, which is about to take over in two weeks once I Remember You ends. This is a time slot for KBS that hasn’t seen a single ratings hit drama in over a year, starting from last year with Trot Lovers to … Continue reading →

The bad hair trend is continuing on the heads of some universally lauded as gorgeous actors. First came Won Bin at his own wedding, next was Yoo Seung Ho last week at a CF brand event, and finally this week So Ji Sub saunters in with a combination of those two bad styles into a new even uglier do. I … Continue reading →

Man leaning against a blue locker.

It’s hard to envision anyone looking sexy mid-yawn, and then there is So Ji Sub. He not only looks sexy yawning like he doesn’t give a fug, he also looks sardonically amused in that cool bad boy style of his. It’s nearing two years since his last drama with The Master’s Sun, though he’s done a Jeju web drama with … Continue reading →

So Ji Sub Makes a Sexy Casual Appearance in Warm and Cozy

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 12, 2015 by ockoalaMay 12, 2015

I hope So Ji Sub‘s guest appearance in the first episode of Warm and Cozy won’t be the highlight of the upcoming Hong sisters drama. Their dramas haven’t had a consistent ratings track record with the domestic audience, even way back when prime time dramas easily did 20%-30% ratings. With that said, their last drama The Master’s Sun was a … Continue reading →

So Ji Sub to Make Cameo Appearance in Warm and Cozy

After sitting on the second teaser for the Hong sisters upcoming K-drama Warm and Cozy, I actually like it more the second and third times I watched the short snippet. I still think the official drama posters are so underwhelming and perfunctory as to be an insult to the leads Kang Sora and Yoo Yeon Seok, being told to pose … Continue reading →
