Ugh, someone get me some smelling salts please. And a fainting couch as well. Yoo Seung Ho‘s first post-military magazine spread is out courtesy of Grazia and it’s spectacular. I’ve liked the magazine since it did the incredibly beautiful and full of love wedding pictorial featuring Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young in Spain, and once again Grazia delivers European … Continue reading →
A happy Koala is one that gets to see her baby Yoo Seung Ho on a regular basis. I’ll look back on the last two years like some sort of extended PMS whereby I was on suspended grouchy animation while he was in the army. He was released last week from the army to the warm embrace of his family … Continue reading →
Who the heck made my baby boy cry? Noona Koala raaaaage! Oh, it’s tear of bittersweet happiness, I see? Sargent Yoo Seung Ho was discharged from the army this morning and promptly burst into the most sincere manly tears I’ve seen since Hyun Bin was discharged two years ago from the marines. Yoo Seung Ho thanked the gathered media and … Continue reading →
Today is 1111 (November 11th) which is the relatively newly designated Singles Day in Mainland China, but for the noonas of the drama world it’s the day that the Korean military officially announced that Yoo Seung Ho‘s discharge date will be December 4th. I’ve known that he was coming out that day for a long time but it’s nice to … Continue reading →
As expected, the impending release of Yoo Seung Ho from military service is already generating major industry buzz. Everyone knows one thing for certain, he went in a boy and is coming out a man. Whether or not he’ll have abs to show is irrelevant, he’s officially done with tween or teen roles and is returning to the welcome embraces … Continue reading →
I’m grateful for little things in life, and one of them is for being able to blog about Yoo Seung Ho during what will be the prime of his career. My baby boy has been in the army for a year and a half now and is actually coming back in early December. The exact date is December 4th and … Continue reading →
My missing my Yoo Seung Ho radar pings me on a regular basis, but when it pinged today I was surprised since I’ve got lots of cracktastic dramas on my plate plus a dense novel translation project I didn’t think I had time to miss him. Clearly my koala sense was telling me that my boy was making yet another … Continue reading →
I’m not usually the “ask and ye shall receive” type of writer and those of you who have written me emails over the years (some increasingly irate and/or pleading) to check out a certain drama or movie will understand that I still just write whatever I I want to as the tag line suggests. That doesn’t mean a request that … Continue reading →
Look which cutie pie is back in the news! It’s a lovely coincidence to come across new pictures of Yoo Seung Ho at the same time when I’m watching the latest Yoon Eun Hye drama. These two would have never in a hundred years flitted through my mind as a potential onscreen pairing, and then Missing You (I Miss You) … Continue reading →
Precocious and preternaturally talented child actors appears to be a dime a dozen in the world of K-dramas, in breadth and depth easily surpassing the other Asian countries and their stable of kid actors. In the modern era of K-dramas since the dawn of Hallyu, there have been a handful of faces seen as the child counterpart of famous leads … Continue reading →
With all the rave reviews coming out of South Korea for director Bong Joon Ho’s just-premiered first Hollywood movie Snowpiercer, I’m even more disappointed that Song Joong Ki had to pass up the chance to headline Director Bong’s next movie Sea Fog. With only three weeks (*sobs*) left before Song Joong Ki enlists at the end of August, I promised … Continue reading →
Surprise! Ha, even after a year I still flashback to Big when I write that. Yeah, that drama was wack-a-mole ridiculous in plot, but I got so much out of it feelings-wise. I guess that same opinion could be applied to Yoo Seung Ho‘s last drama before his enlistment, Missing You, so I get why people like it, but there … Continue reading →
I don’t know why it took over a month for So Ji Sub to release the full 14-minute MV for his first single off the latest album which so famously features Park Shin Hye and Yoo Seung Ho (as well as himself). I watched the earlier edited 5-minute version and liked it a lot. It wasn’t memorable narratively or in … Continue reading →
