Miss Korea Episode 14 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 31, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 31, 2014

As the one and only Chun Song Yi would say “sawwwry” for this recap being late. Of course it was because of Lunar New Year and not because there was a precipitous dip in quality leading me to abruptly drop my Miss Korea recaps. This drama continues to bring me unbridled joy even as it leaves me anxious for any … Continue reading →

Miss Korea Episode 13 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 29, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 29, 2014

This drama really knows how to pull tension out from all its plot threads in equal measure so that not a single element overwhelms all others. This is the first K-drama I can recollect where the central goal set forth in the beginning remains integral and pivotal as the story progresses. So many dramas use an interesting premise or objective … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 15 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 28, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 28, 2014

After today’s episode 15 of Prime Minister and I there are only two more episodes left to wrap up the story. Will it end in a moralistic tale of family obligation over personal emotional stakes? Or will the romance that defies conventions in more ways than one be allowed to reach a happy ending? I have full confidence in the … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 14 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 27, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 27, 2014

I wanted the return of Not Dead Na Young in episode 14 of Prime Minister and I to be akin to ripping a band aid off a wound. Fast and furious with a momentarily twinge of a pain. Sadly that did not come to pass, we didn’t get to see her return and then get shipped off in one episode … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 11 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 24, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 24, 2014

The bad news is that next week’s episode 12 is preempted for a Lunar New Year special of In A Good Way, but the good news is that episode 11 didn’t end on an angsty cliffhanger moment. Episode 11 was shorter in length clearly to draw out the protest conflict and save the great cameo-laden campus concert for the next … Continue reading →

Miss Korea Episode 12 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2014

I’m pulling out the big guns for my Miss Korea recaps. Yeah, that is totally a spoiler kiss still above from episode 12, but in my defense MBC released it last night so it’s been out there already teasing us with the hotness to come. I also think in whatever way I can lure viewers to this exquisite drama then … Continue reading →

Miss Korea Episode 11 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 22, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 22, 2014

I worship Miss Korea so damn hard! I’m starting to clear out emotional shelf space for this drama and the only minor blip is not enough people to squee and swoon over this wonderful sweet story. Episode 11 was SO FREAKING GOOD I was alternating between laughing until my belly hurt (I can never not laugh at the awesome bitch … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 13 Recap

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

I really want to hug Prime Minister and I like it were the cutest little puppy in the world and I it’s lucky owner. Undeterred by low ratings this drama has continued to chart a true course towards honest falling in love between two people who are both brave and deserving of those syrupy happily ever after dreams in life. … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 12 Recap

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

Let me preface by saying this episode recap of Prime Minister and I will by and large not jump the gun on the big pink elephant in the room, namely whether Yul’s ex-wife Na Young is alive and what her return might do to this story narrative. I’ll cross that bridge if and when she gets there because so far … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 10 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2014

We got yet another fantabulous episode of In A Good Way as the college campus drama hits the double digits in episode count and keeps on delivering the goods. When Liu Chuan showed up at the end of episode 10 and decisively raised Jia En’s protest placard with his hand I was screaming in Chinese “Liu Shan Feng, you are so … Continue reading →

Miss Korea Episode 10 Recap

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

Can Miss Korea keep getting better and better? Oh you betcha! Episode 10 was a brilliant breakthrough episode wrapped in a perfect bite-sized morsel of smooth execution. It starts with Ji Young getting a second chance good news and ends with her walking down the red carpet besides admirable rival Jae Hee as they head into the start of the … Continue reading →

Miss Korea Episode 9 Recap

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

I rarely jump into recapping a drama midway through but Miss Korea is just that good and that compelling it calls to me. Episode 9 was even better than the stellar episode 8, setting up nicely for a transition to the next phase of Ji Young and Hyung Joon’s pursuit of the Miss Korea 1997 crown. While episode 8 gave … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 11 Recap

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

This was a rather oddball episode of Prime Minister and I, and I’m not even factoring in the eyebrow raising hints in the preview for the next episode. Episode 11 felt like filler yet it was decidedly meaty stuff. I’ve been angling for Da Jung to spend more time with her dad especially since he hasn’t much time left, and … Continue reading →
