Playful Kiss BTS Pictures from YT Episode 6

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2010 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2010

This was a pleasant surprise. I found a ton of BTS pictures from the filming of episode 6 Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition, otherwise known as Dude, What’s With That Car? None of them are crisp and clear, but they are a lovely treat regardless.

Song Yoon Ah Cameos in Secret Garden (Plus Some Hotelier Thoughts)

Famed screenwriter Kim Eun Sook has so many drama hits under her belt, naturally it would also come with heaps of acting goodwill from the actors who have benefitted from starring in one of her dramas. When Kim Eun Sook filmed On Air, the string of cameos from A-list stars was so long there was actually a list to keep track … Continue reading →

Playful Kiss YT Episode 6 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 11, 2010 by ockoalaNovember 11, 2010

Episode 6 of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition is pretty much impossible to recap. I say it with a straight face, because this was a Korean version of an I Love Lucy episode, replete with an ending that has Lucy and Desi (Ha Ni and Seung Jo) conceding that they enjoyed the mess of a day they had together.

MV of Baek Ji Young’s Single for Secret Garden

FINALLY!!! After being depressed about the 10 minute trailer for Secret Garden I watched earlier this week (so depressed I didn’t even want to post about it or share it), the bipolar production team went and released the MV for the Baek Ji Young single off the OST. And I’m back on board the SG-train.

Eric Returns from MS and Dives Right Into Poseidon

Leader is back! Well, technically Leader came back two weeks ago (and I spent an entire day with my twitter feed being inundated with squeals from my drama friends about his return from two years of exile military service), but today he’s really back. Eric literally put on his civilian clothes and walked right into filming for the upcoming marine … Continue reading →

Takeshi Kaneshiro returns to the big screen in 2011 with his follow-up project to the epic and box-office breaking mega-movie Red Cliff. He teams up for his third go around with famed directed Peter Chan (who also directed Takeshi in Perhaps Love and The Warlords) for the upcoming Wuxia, co-starring Donnie Yen, Tang Wei, and lured-out-of-retirement famed actor Wang Yu.

Mary Stayed Out All Night Episode 3 Written Preview

Four people posing on garden steps

[Edit: I just realized that the song Mu Gyul sang at the playground when Mae Ri was following him around is called “My Precious.”] How did Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) do this to me? Make me dying for Monday to come around, at the expense of not even caring that Secret Garden is premiering this weekend. … Continue reading →

Playful Kiss YT Episode 5 Recap

Young couple embracing on hospital bed

Thank god that evil pinchy-faced wench from the last episode was shipped back to the US and far far away from our Ha Ni and Seung Jo. I didn’t intend to have my claws out for her in my last recap, since she’s such an insignificant annoyance, but she appeared to have activated the ultra-bitch-smackdown button on my keyboard. Blame my keyboard … Continue reading →

Mary Stayed Out All Night Episode 2 Recap

Two women outdoors at night, piggyback ride

My instantaneous affinity for the Mu Gyul-Mae Ri coupling in Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) has turned into full-blown adoration in episode 2. If the level of inexplicable but wholly natural caring they exhibit towards one another continue to blossom, I will be in so much love with this OTP that I might as well lay in … Continue reading →

Playful Kiss YT Episode 4 Recap

Have you ever eaten bon bons? Each episode of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special is like a bite-sized bon bon, you pop it in your mouth and let the flavor and texture explode in a shower of sensory bliss. But then it’s gone as quickly as it arrived. But I treat PK-the-drama as my main course, so I’m totally fine … Continue reading →

Official Posters for Secret Garden Plus Scenes from the OST Teaser

Two people floating hand-in-hand above castle

Apparently all dem posters of Secret Garden I’ve been plastering all over AKP were not the “official posters.” I sure wish to God they were the official posters, because the ones that just descended for that drama are in one word: Eh? and WTF? Oh wait, that was two non-words, but you get my drift. See that poster above? This … Continue reading →

Mary Stayed Out All Night Episode 1 Recap

Four friends smiling on graffiti-covered urban street

Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary! or M3) premiered this Monday on KBS2 with an 8.5% rating. It’s higher than its predecessor Sungkyunkwan Scandal’s first episode, about the same as You’re Beautiful’s first episode, yet probably lower than pundits had hoped for considering the power young couple of Jang Geun Seok plus Moon Geun Young.

Playful Kiss continues to be a fandom that may have slowed down considerably since the drama ended, but never fails to keep chugging along. Some more behind-the-scenes BTS pictures of Kim Hyun Joong from the last days of shooting the Youtube episodes have emerged.
