First Stills of Park Seo Joon as an Overworked Reporter in jTBC Second Chance Romance K-drama Surely Tomorrow

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 15, 2025 by ockoalaOctober 15, 2025

It’s a tough market for K-drama romances in recent two months. More are failing to land or connect with audiences whether the set up or genre, other than the mega hit Bon Appétit, Your Majesty and My Troublesome Star doing better than expected, the rest are duds including My Youth and A Hundred Memories. The dramas I’m still looking forward … Continue reading →

Park Seo Joon Sues Korean Restaurant for Unauthorized Image Use Stemming From Crab Eating Scene in K-drama Why Secretary Kim

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 3, 2025 by ockoalaJuly 3, 2025

I loved Why Secretary Kim but legit do not even remember this scene this is how random and minor it is. The drama starred Park Seo Joon as an uptight and controlled CEO with a very emotionally scarring backstory and aired to great popularity back in 2018. In the drama his character goes to a popular soy sauce raw crab … Continue reading →

It’s a new year and we have the first big K-drama casting and its a romance drama. Park Seo Joon and Won Ji An are in talks for the jTBC drama Waiting for Gyeong Do.

This is a great new drama and casting news out of K-ent. Park Seo Joon is reportedly in talks for a romance K-drama tentatively titled Welcome to Gyeongdo. Nothing is known about the plot yet but the drama will air on jTBC and is also from the PD of King the Land which makes me feel like jTBC wants another … Continue reading →

Two people posing for a photo together.

Well this is a fun K-ent dating news to end the week with! There is a rumor going around and getting lots of news coverage that K-actor Park Seo Joon is allegedly dating Asian-American actress and model Lauren Tsai.

Netflix Drama Gyeongseong Creature Wraps Two Part Run with Teaser for Season 2

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 8, 2024 by ockoalaJanuary 7, 2024
Historical drama with armed characters in conflict.

So Netflix split the airing of K-drama Gyeongseong Creature into a two week break but it was still the same season and series, not a season 1 and season 2 situation. The goal seemed to be to mirror The Glory where the first part was such a hit it really buoyed excitement and viewership for the second half. Unfortunately this … Continue reading →

Netflix Drama Gyeongseong Creature Premieres to #1 in the South Korean Chart and First Audience Reviews are Strongly Split

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 24, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 24, 2023
Top Netflix show featuring a woman in distress.

So the hope that Gyeongseong Creature would be this holiday season’s The Glory will likely not happen, but that doesn’t mean it’s a flop. The Glory was a massive hit for Netflix and the cast popularity and acclaim and I think the first reviews for Gyeongseong Creature indicate it will be a top watch for Netflix but not have as … Continue reading →

Pre-screening of Netflix Drama Gyeongseong Creatures Leads to Early Negative Reviews From K-ent Reporters

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 20, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2023
Cast members posing with heart shapes.

So even K-netizens are little taken aback at this week’s early domestic reviews for this Friday’s premiere of period supernatural action drama Gyeongseong Creature on Netflix. The drama is tent-poling for Netflix the holiday season just like The Glory did last year which turned out to be an even bigger hit than already anticipated of the top cast and famed … Continue reading →

Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee Battles Tentacled Monster and the Imperial Japanese Colonizers in Trailer for Netflix Drama Gyeongseong Creature

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 7, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 7, 2023
Two people in a tense, emotional conversation.

Despite Sweet Home 2 premiering to disappointing reviews it’s still top of the viewing chart and understandably so. It’s a big budget action sci-fi horror drama and makes for a fun popcorn watch. I hope the next Netflix K-drama Gyeongseong Creature takes that fun element but adds more character development but from the just released full trailer below I also … Continue reading →

Danger Lurks in the Capital of Japan Occupied Korea in New Poster and Preview for Netflix Drama Gyeongseong Creature

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2023
Two people in a tense, emotional conversation.

I heard Netflix is raising prices again and goodness the streaming platform is really testing the break point before a good majority cancels. It’s still in the far horizon but as long as the company invests in exclusive dramas and movies there will always be a fresh reason to watch, case in point the holiday season release of period thriller … Continue reading →

Period Joseon Life is Full of Danger in New Drama Stills for Gyeongseong Creature with Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2023
Two people in a tense, emotional conversation.

I saw these new stills just after I finished watching The Marvels and it was exactly the eye bleach I needed to erase the image of Park Seo Joon as Prince Yan from my brain forever. Netflix released a batch of new drama stills for upcoming period creature feature series Gyeongseong Creature that sees Park Seo Joon and Han So … Continue reading →

The Marvels Bombs at the Box Office Which Means Park Seo Joon Isn’t the Only Laughingstock From the Film

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 13, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2023
Two characters in a colorful crowd scene.

When Hollywood comes calling for most Asian stars is always an opportunity impossible to pass by. For Park Seo Joon I wished he would have passed right on by the recent MCU movie The Marvels because hoo boy was the movie so chaotic and mediocre (and bombed in its first weekend at the box office) but his role in particular … Continue reading →

Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee Fight for Survival in First Poster and Teaser for Netflix Period Thriller Drama Gyeongseong Creature

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2023
Dark suspense poster for a Netflix series.

So Netflix is borrowing a page from the split airing of The Glory and airing Gyeongseong Creature in two parts but lucky for us viewers the two parts will only be two weeks apart rather than three months again. The first drama poster and teaser preview just dropped and it’s an actual creature feature, all pun aside I didn’t know … Continue reading →
