Lee Yeon Hee Starts Her Miss Korea Pageant Preparation in New Stills for Episode 11

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 21, 2014

It’s time for another new episode of Miss Korea and I’m so excited! I like to think that MBC‘s success with its far-out Empress Ki on Mon-Tues is allowing the network to bankroll the vastly underrated MK without cutting it short or decreeing “makjang twists for all” to try and revive its ratings. This is one drama that is nearly … Continue reading →

Written and Picture Preview for Episode 13 of Prime Minister and I

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2014

Well look’s who’s back. The lovely Jang Ae Yun, who I thought was doing a cameo appearance in Prime Minister and I to play the no longer present wife of the Prime Minister, appears confirmed to return to the drama in episode 13. Let’s hope it’s a one episode gig even if she is still breathing, anything more and I’ll … Continue reading →

New Stills From Prime Minister and I Show Yul in the Hospital and a Tearful In Ho

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2014

A new week is here which means two new episodes of Prime Minister and I is right around the corner. Thanks to the one-episode extension there are three more weeks left of this drama and I’m going to savor every minute of it. One benefit of recapping dramas (among many) is that it provides a good reminder of typical drama … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Empress Ki Episode 23

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2014

There are a couple of things I’m now certain of when it comes to Empress Ki. It’s still entertaining as all out what with the eye-popping plot developments with nary a boring moment in sight. C’mon guys, there are inexplicable time jumps and babies everywhere! It’s also clear that Seung Nyang is (1) delivering her royal Goryeo baby in the … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 11 of In A Good Way

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2014

That was really mean of SETTV to not release a preview for episode 11 at the end of episode 10 of In A Good Way but thankfully that’s been rectified and now we’ve got a peak at what’s in store for civic right’s minded Jia En and her right hand protest man Liu Chuan. A key component of IAGW is … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 10 of In A Good Way

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 16, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 16, 2014

The written previews are usually pretty straightforward when it comes to In A Good Way, revealing enough to whet my appetite but keeping a bit under wraps to surprise me when the actual episode airs. Reading the just released written preview for episode 10 got me super excited because it sounds cute, funny, and rather important to a lot of … Continue reading →

Written and Video Previews for Episode 12 of Prime Minister and I

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 16, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 15, 2014

I could feel a teeny bit of pacing slow down in Prime Minister and I this week with the two new episodes and my experience chalks it up to the 1-episode extension giving the writer time to stretch out some of the narrative developments. Those hoping the OTP would have an emotional breakthrough (and start making out) needs to put … Continue reading →

MBC Releases New Drama and BTS Stills for the Lovely Miss Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 15, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 14, 2014

I’m hoping both that Miss Korea continues the fantastic momentum its built up from last week’s stellar two episodes and that more people dive in now when the timing is perfect. Episode 8 was a great pause moment for the story and serves as a great dress rehearsal if you will of what’s to come. Lee Yeon Hee‘s leading lady … Continue reading →

MBC Considers 10 Episode Extension for Empress Ki and Releases Episode 23 Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 14, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 14, 2014

Why is everyone either mopey or angry over the recent turn of events in Empress Ki? I’m thoroughly amused and having a blast. This reminds me of when Queen Seondeok went off the rails and had Deok Man love Bidam back. That was just….incredible to behold. Even fictionalizing history cannot come close to that level of mindfrak. Everyone was fine … Continue reading →

Yoon Kye Sang Smolders with Raw Angst in First Teaser for Melodrama Full Sun

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 13, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 13, 2014

Dayum, now this is what I call slaying the audience with one look. The first teaser and stills are out for the upcoming KBS prime time melodrama Full Sun and I think I’m all in at this point. At least I’m all in when it comes to checking it out without any expectation or reservation based on my affinity at … Continue reading →

The OTP Goes From Wedding Night to Farewell Hugs in Empress Ki

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 12, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2014

Well, that was one short honeymoon period even by sageuk standards. The latest stills from Empress Ki show the OTP of Wang Yoo and Seung Nyang having a farewell hug. Not sure how far and long the farewell is going to be but it’s definitely not giving the lovebirds any breather after their lightning speed proposal, engagement, and then wedding … Continue reading →

The Prime Minister Goes Rocker Punk to Retrieve His Errant Young Wife

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2014

It’s been a thumb twiddling week waiting for episode 10 of Prime Minister and I to arrive. That will also signal the drama heading into the second half of its run and I hope the narrative will not suffer from any whiplash attempt to infuse it with more angst to draw in viewers. That is what happened with PM’s predecessor Marry Him If … Continue reading →

Video Previews for Episode 10 of In A Good Way

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2014

I can stare at Liu Chuan all day long, especially when he does his intense staring at Jia En all day long. I don’t think Lego Lee is anything like Liu Chuan in In A Good Way, in fact he’s probably more of a Ren Wei than any other character. But what makes his portrayal of Liu Chuan so perfect … Continue reading →
