I thought stage shows would still be not happening in South Korea but it’s actually nice to hear this wonderful play will be arriving there with a lovely cast. Veterans and national treasure grandpas Lee Soon Jae and Shin Goo will be taking turns playing the lead in Grandpa Henry and Me, a French play described as heartwarming and life … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 15, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 15, 2017

Bickering Posters and Promos for Chanyeol and Yuan Shan Shan’s C-movie So I Married an Anti-fan

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 15, 2016 by ockoalaJune 14, 2016
Comedy poster featuring three characters in action.

There’s a certain amount of ambivalence and hesitation with respect to upcoming Chinese Korean movie So I Married an Anti-fan, a project that went from promisingly cute to avoid like the plague after it got cast. It’s adapted from a manhwa of the same name with the concept that an anti-fan cohabits with the idol she hates and they end … Continue reading →

Plane Crash Drama Gaia Turns into SM Vehicle with Chanyeol and Yuri Up for the Leads

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 28, 2016 by ockoalaApril 27, 2016
Two smiling individuals posing for the camera.

I don’t want to write off a drama so early out but the sheer whiplash of how promising Gaia sounded to precipitous drop off the cliff makes it hard to remain optimistic. Initial reports surrounding the making of Gaia, a plane crashed on an island drama, was all about famed screenwriter Song Ji Na behind the pen. She’s the writer … Continue reading →

The lovely young ladies, not exactly college age anymore, just graduated from Chung An University with tons of fan and media coverage present. Park Shin Hye and Sooyoung and Yuri of SNSD were on hand to receive their college diplomas after a much longer matriculation than most students due to their periodic sabbaticals for acting or singing projects.

The preview is out for upcoming OCN drama Neighborhood Hero, the comeback drama for PD Kwak Jung Hwan after his epic fail that was Basketball, and also the comeback drama for K-actor Park Shi Hoo after his accused rape scandal nearly two years ago.

Three men posing together, smiling in classroom.

There are dramas which get scuttled, most recently with Goodbye Mr. Black with Moon Chae Won and Lee Jin Wook, and earlier in the summer with Shin Mina‘s Let’s Have Dinner Together, and then there are dramas that some want to see get kiboshed which inch closer to airing. Filming has begun on Park Shi Hoo‘s comeback drama Neighborhood Hero, … Continue reading →

Someone’s gotta do it, right? Act opposite Park Shi Hoo in upcoming OCN drama Neighborhood Hero, that is. Yoon Eun Hye already took the charge in being Park Shi Hoo’s first K-ent leading lady since his rape scandal two years ago when they did the Chinese-Korean movie After Love together. This might make it easier for fans of SNSD‘s Yuri … Continue reading →

Person in casual and sports attire together.

Another K-ent dating news started this week off with a fast pitch out of the gate, pardon the pun but I just had to use it since rarely do I get to use baseball jargon. Notch another name off the list of single SNSD (Girl’s Generation) members as Kwon Yuri has just been revealed to be dating Korean relief pitcher … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 27, 2014 by ockoalaMay 27, 2014

The 50th annual Baeksang Art Awards concluded last night and actually managed to not render me wholly disappointed even with next to zero expectations. I can’t say the entire endeavor rewarded and feted the most deserving movies, dramas, actors, and actresses (since many of the best were not even nominated to begin with), but at least the final prizes went … Continue reading →

Fashion King Releases Long Teaser and Premieres on Monday

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 17, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 17, 2012

Things I’m looking forward to in the upcoming Fashion King with Yoo Ah In, Shin Se Kyung, Yuri, and Lee Je Hoon: the fashion, NYC, and Yoo Ah In’s return to television after over a year break since Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Things I’m worried about: a potential for the trifecta of bad acting, terrible script, and spastic directing. We’ll have to … Continue reading →
