Exciting Preview for Episode 21 of Joseon Gunman as the Drama Wraps this Week

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 2, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 2, 2014

With all the hullabaloo over the imminent arrival of Iron Man on KBS Wed-Thurs, a little bit lost in the buzz is this being the finale week of Joseon Gunman. I thoroughly enjoyed recapping such a solid drama, an endeavor that didn’t quite reach the liftoff in excitement or buzz that it could have. Still can’t quite pinpoint where the … Continue reading →

New Video Preview for Episode 19 of Joseon Gunman

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 27, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 26, 2014

I’m starting to get wistful over Joseon Gunman heading into the second-to-last week of its run. Thanks to Iron Man this drama got a 2-episode extension to end next week at episode 22 rather than saying farewell this week already. I’m quite pleased with everything about JG even including the extension which hasn’t sapped the energy away from the story … Continue reading →

Written Preview and New Stills for Episode 3 of My Secret Hotel Plus Fantastic OTP MV

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 24, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 24, 2014

I can’t force myself to love a drama neither can I stop it when the train departs the station with me riding shotgun on a brand new exciting journey. I’ve unexpectedly hopped onboard the My Secret Hotel train and all signs point to yes when it comes to this drama having what I desire the most from my rom-coms. It … Continue reading →

The Pleasantly Surprised OTP Fight and Make Up with a Kissy Trip to the Batting Cage

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 22, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 22, 2014

True to its roots the first big breakup worthy fight in Pleasantly Surprised looks to not even last a full episode. Good for the drama not to milk the conflict especially since it’s not really a conflict. I get that Kai Qi’s trust and abandonment issues are at play here, hence Ah Jie not telling her he planned on leaving … Continue reading →

Kwon Sang Woo and Choi Ji Woo Give in to Their Temptation as the Drama Switches Up the Couples

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 17, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 17, 2014

I’m thoroughly enjoying watching the SBS Mon-Tues melodrama Temptation. It’s rounded the corner from the first half of its run and narratively everything is all shaken up. Whether a particular viewer likes the way things are unfolding depends on how one approaches Temptation. This is a story of four equally messed up adults, two very rich and two very poor, … Continue reading →

Pleasantly Surprised Dials Up the Romance with Adorable Date Preview for Episode 13

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 13, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 13, 2014

I normally don’t post episode updates on Pleasantly Surprised (Love Myself or You) since I’m not recapping and also because it’s been relatively uneventful to follow along with this drama. I said before it lacks sizzle from the crescendo excitement of a more passionate OTP romance but conversely hasn’t tripped up on stupid plot developments either. Coming from the same … Continue reading →

Double Dose of OTP Kissing to Come in Joseon Gunman and It’s Okay, It’s Okay

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 6, 2014 by ockoalaAugust 6, 2014

I feel so lucky to have fantastic K-dramas to watch on Wed-Thurs this month. Joseon Gunman has another ten episodes to go and that’s five more weeks to spend with my beloved Soo In and Yoon Kang, not to mention all sorts of memorable antagonists and hilarious sidekicks. It’s Okay, It’s Love just started but four episodes in I’m already … Continue reading →

Serious Aaron Yan Fanservice Ahead with Shirtless Kissing in Episode 16 of Fall in Love with Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 19, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 19, 2014

Is anyone still watching Fall in Love with Me? I need a quickie summary of the latest happenings onscreen since the drama has managed to lure me back to check out this Sunday’s episode 16 with the promise of topless Aaron Yan and lots of kissing. The ratings for FILWM have been quite low for the network on the Sunday night slot … Continue reading →

Soo In Comes Face-to-Face with Smexy Ninja Yoon Kang in Episode 7 of Joseon Gunman

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 16, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 15, 2014

Joseon Guman is so lovely and fun to watch but doesn’t yet inspire in me feats of madness where I sit around twiddling my thumbs for the next fix. One reason is likely my confidence in the characters and in the scriptwriter. Having Yoon Kang and Soo In so sweetly fall in love and keep that feeling alive for the … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Final Episode 20 of Dr. Stranger

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 7, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 7, 2014

The written preview for the final episode 20 of Dr. Stranger is out. I thought SBS would not release one and keep whetting the appetite for whatever crazy its cooking up. Alas it looks straightforward wrap up time, and all of the final conflict to come is easily expected. The President turns out to be no better than PM Jang … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 19 of Dr. Stranger

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 6, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 6, 2014

I’m going into the finale week of Dr. Stranger with complete carefree abandonment. I literally do not care anymore about what might happen, so without any invested emotion then there is no way the final two episodes will upset me. Of course if the insanity manages to outdo itself then the added insult to my intelligence might raise my ire … Continue reading →

Dr. Stranger Written Preview for Episode 19 and Drama Ending Poll

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 4, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 4, 2014

I wonder if it’s as painful for the actors in Dr. Stranger to soldier on until the end as it has been as a viewer to stick with it. I am invested enough, against all reason, to want to know how the scriptwriter plans to end it all. Jae Joon finally does something in episode 18 but I have a … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 17 of Dr. Stranger

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 29, 2014 by ockoalaJune 29, 2014

This has been a head-scratching last few days for Dr. Stranger viewer. First there was the bizarre creative decision to repackage the drama into a two hour Chinese movie, with even the consideration of dubbing the voices since the Chinese audience hates subs and are totally A-OK with dubbing. Then the PD gave an interview where I swear he basically shat answers … Continue reading →
