M3 – Fourth Trailer Plus Screencaps

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 2, 2010 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2010
Two smiling young people posing indoors

This is likely the last trailer for the drama formerly known as Mary Stayed Out All Night, which became Marry Me, Mary!, which I shall henceforth refer to as M3 (thanks for coining the acronym @hjkomo!). It pretty much has one major scene, and that’s it. But oh boy is itĀ a doozy of a scene to just drop in a … Continue reading →

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I say absence makes me a cranky and irascible koala. But I won’t hold it against Playful Kiss for taking a short break and returning to my embrace with the first of 7 new episodes (plus 2 BTS specials) broadcast solely on Youtube. All good things come to those who wait, … Continue reading →

Oh thank god! Athena released a few stills where its currrently filming in Hawaii, which presumably only involves Cha Seung Won and Su Ae based on the stills. I let out a huge sigh of relief – it’s so good to see my sexy ahjusshi Cha Seung Won back on his feet after a prolonged bout of illness. Not to … Continue reading →

More Mary Goodies Have Arrived

I know the impending arrival of Mary-I-Haven’t-Decided-What-To-Call-It-In-English means the end of Sungkyunkwan Scandal, which is clearly going to cause mass hysteria and depression. I kid, of course. I dropped SKKS at the mid-way point because I felt no emotional connection with the OTP, and watching it for me under those circumstances would just lead me to snark and throw poop … Continue reading →

If Secret Garden keeps up with dropping new trailers left and right, I’m going to be up to my eye-balls in trailers by the time the drama premieres. Yet another trailer was released, and this time I’m not even going to bother translating the trailer or linking to it.

Newest Trailer for Secret Garden with Dialogue Translaton

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 30, 2010 by ockoalaOctober 30, 2010
Split image: woman in cap, man in suit

The fourth trailer for Secret Garden was released today. I feel like I know more about this drama from the stills rather than the trailers. Every single trailer, this one included, has confused the heck out of me. Why, trailer dudes? Are you purposely being opaque? Or there is simply no way to cross-cut this drama through random scenes?

The news from Playful Kiss-land has been sparse and stingy in the last few days. For all I know we’re getting the first Youtube episode on Tuesday November 2 as originally confirmed. There is nothing to indicate otherwise.

Secret Garden poster: surprised characters in bed

So. Cute. I love it! This poster for Secret Garden totally captures the concept behind the drama, and brings about a feeling of the zany without seeming ridiculous. Much better than the Mary poster. Also realized that the Binnie stills in the last post were too small since it was a composite. Below I’ve provided full-sized pictures for everyone to … Continue reading →

*Silence* *Still speechless* *Pushes eyeball back into socket* *Picks jaw off floor* Producers of Secret Garden, you are all morons for releasing still after still of tracksuit Binnie or Henry Higgins Binnie, when you had those shots above hidden from us. I hate you! My anticipation for Secret Garden just overtook MMM/MSOAN/Mary again. Samshik, you are back, baby!
