IU and Byun Woo Seok Drum Up Chemistry in New Couple Drama Stills From Perfect Crown

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 12, 2026 by ockoalaFebruary 12, 2026

We should have gotten these first lol. What’s a good romance drama promo without starting with the romance aspect of it, namely stills of the leads in one frame.

His character has been quite two-dimensional for me in the promos … Continue reading →

Netflix Denies May 2026 Release for The Wonderfools and Civic Tax Group Files Complaint Against Tax Official Over Release of the Fact that Cha Eun Woo is Under Investigation

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 11, 2026 by ockoalaFebruary 11, 2026

The Cha Eun Woo tax evasion scandal started before his fellow agency mate Kim Sun Ho but that one wrapped up quickly (admission and apology and payment of taxes) while his seems to still be ongoing for whatever reason. For scandals its a double edged sword of concluding quickly to move on faster or drag on until hopefully the next … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 10, 2026 by ockoalaFebruary 10, 2026

There are many shelved dramas in both K-ent and C-ent, ones that have never seen the light and others released quietly a long time after whatever scandal halted its release.

Byun Woo Seok is a Broody Prince in New Stills for MBC K-drama Perfect Crown

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 5, 2026 by ockoalaFebruary 5, 2026

I have a confession, I’ve never finished watching Lovely Runner lol. I liked the first two episodes, but life got busy and I put it aside and never got back to it even after it became a breakout hit. That means I still don’t personally understand the meteoric rise of Byun Woo Seok but it’s a double edged sword for … Continue reading →
