K-star Cha Eun Woo Under Investigation for Alleged Tax Evasion of Around $13.6 Million USD

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 22, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 22, 2026

Oh this is not good news to wake up and see for me. If true what a shame, a clean reputation to date tanked to save on taxes. K-ent is reporting that actor-singer Cha Eun Woo is under investigation for tax evasion by the government, and it actually started in spring of 2025 so last year. The gist of it … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 21, 2026

I don’t think I’ve seen quite this shade of neon green in a Joseon hanbok before but here is Son Ye Jin rocking the electric dress in the first stills from the K-drama Scandal. It’s the drama adaptation of the movie Untold Scandal, which is itself adapting the novel Dangerous Liaisons. Son Ye Jin is the rich lady mastermind pushing … Continue reading →

Park Min Young is a Striking Femme Fatale in First Poster and Teaser for tvN K-drama Siren

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2026

Every time I think K-actress Park Min Young has grown too tried and true for me, doing nonstop dramas and her roles start to blend one into the other, that’s when she surprises me. Marry My Husband was a big surprise hit two years ago, and now I think she has a shot to surprise again with the upcoming tvN … Continue reading →

MBC January 2026 Legal K-drama The Judge Returns with Ji Sung, Park Hee Son, and Won Jin Ah Picks Up Traction Breaking 10% Ratings in Third Week

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2026

Already January 2026 is off to a better start than last year, where the massive interstellar turkey When the Stars Gossip kicked off last year by launching itself from inside a crap star to destroy my eyes and brain cells. In just three weeks K-dramas has seen a slew of new premieres with plenty of different genres for the varied … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 16, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 16, 2026

I know what I’m doing this weekend, lol! Binging all 12-episodes of Netflix K-drama Can This Love be Translated, bringing two leads I like like Kim Sun Ho and Go Yoon Jung with a script by the hit or miss but always worth checking out Hong Sisters.

First Look at Park Min Young and Wi Ha Joon in K-drama Siren Remake of Thriller Classic J-dorama

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 13, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 13, 2026

I feel like Park Min Young has so many remakes associated with Japan. She’s either been in K-drama remakes of J-doramas the most recent being Confidence Queen or her dramas have been remade in Japan such as Marry My Husband or her drama is simply insanely popular in Japan like What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. That’s great for her and … Continue reading →

jTBC Releases First Teaser for Rom-com K-drama The Practical Guide to Love with Han Ji Min, Park Sung Hoon, and Lee Ki Taek

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 12, 2026

Lol, if this drama isn’t set up solely to be a love triangle, to the degree that the first teaser is only the love triangle. jTBC has released the first look at upcoming rom-com K-drama The Practical Guide to Love adapted from the webtoon Efficient Dating for Singles and it’s an old school throwback to the very set up that … Continue reading →

Shin Mina and Lee Jin Wook in Talks for Romance K-drama Wed/Thurs/Fri

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 9, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 9, 2026

So I give stars ample opportunity to change my mind about him or her but in the case of Lee Jin Wook it’s been over twenty years and a dozen K-dramas and still this actor does nothing for me. There are other stars I’ve loved in K-dramas who have stopped acting and/or left the industry and it’s just weird he’s … Continue reading →

First Look at Comedic Superhero Netflix K-drama The WONDERfools with Park Eun Bin and Cha Eun Woo

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 8, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 7, 2026

So the drama title is stylized exactly to read The WONDERfools, soon to air in 2026 on Netflix and starring Park Eun Bin and Cha Eun Woo. I can’t even describe what this drama is about better than Netflix itself with this blurb – “A goofy group of townies stumbles into superpowers and fights rising evil as doomsday panic grows … Continue reading →

Park Min Young and Yook Sung Jae in Talks for Office Romance K-drama Nine to Six

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 6, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 6, 2026

So my first thought was this pairing isn’t working for me. But then I saw that it is adapted from a C-drama and that the set up is older woman-young man then I guess this casting makes sense. K-ent is reporting that Park Min Young and Yook Sung Jae are in talks for a new romance K-drama titled Nine to … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 5, 2026 by ockoalaJanuary 5, 2026

Okay, I am so sat for this K-drama! Next week on January 16th is the premiere of Netflix K-drama Can This Love be Translated, starring Kim Sun Ho and Go Yoon Jung in a project that was announced two years ago so it’s been on my radar since.
