Prime Minister and I Episode 10 Recap

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

Episode 10 of Prime Minister and I dipped a toe into more serious territory and reminds us that behind the hijinks and warmth of a contract marriage is two very different people trying to live a real life behind a public charade. Yul and Da Jung are being as candid and sincere as they can be under the circumstances, and … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 9 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 10, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2014

Sorry for a bit of a lull with In A Good Way goodies such as preview posts. This week’s previews for episode 9 were beyond weaksauce since Jia En scenes were deliberately kept from it to maintain the illusion that our leading lady might actually be in real danger. Of course she wasn’t, but the concern Liu Chuan had that … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 9 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 7, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 7, 2014

By all that is holy in dramaland I freaking love love LOVE this drama! Prime Minister and I ended this week on a rousing high note for episode 9 which was every bit as funny, touching, nerve-wracking, and totally satisfying as every episode before it all wrapped into one delicious treat. Why oh why is this drama only two episodes … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 8 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 6, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 6, 2014

It’s nice to welcome the new year of 2014 with the first K-drama recap of a great episode of the still wonderful Prime Minister and I. This drama continues to thrum along with all the right beats even if all the narrative milestones are nothing new to behold. A good drama has to have multiple layers so that the conflict isn’t … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 8 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 3, 2014 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2014

Episode 8 of In A Good Way was chock full of the delicious goodness we’ve come to expect from this drama, but unlike episode 7 which ended on a calming note this episode stopped on a moment when I was literally screaming “nooooooo…..” I’m sure it’s a trolling feint because this is not anything remotely like a tense thriller drama. I … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 7 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 30, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 6, 2014

Guh, episode 7 of Prime Minister and I was soooooo good. Its ratings went up to 8.9% since there was no competition with MBC preempting Empress Ki and SBS did the same with Warm Words. No clue whether this bit of ratings jump will stick but for now I’m thrilled because episode 7 was funny and substantive and increasing the … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 7 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 27, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2014

I almost didn’t know what to think about episode 7 of In A Good Way until the very end when I let out a huge sigh of relief. This episode was a roller coaster of emotions for me ranging from anticipation to shock to dismay to confusion and finally to a squeal of delight. Jia En grows up even more … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 6 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 24, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 6, 2014

I thought episode 5 of Prime Minister and I was a tiny bit of a slow patch but wowsers did episode 6 get right back to business and deliver all sorts of feelings and narrative reveals left and right. The romance isn’t anywhere near floating to the surface yet but that strange new family Yul and Da Jung have created … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 5 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 6, 2014

Just an FYI that I’ll probably only have time for baby recaps in the next two weeks since I’m vacation so don’t think I’ve dropped any dramas or have suddenly gone from love-to-hate. Prime Minister and I ended episode 4 on a high note so the wait has felt interminable for episode 5 to drop and now that it’s here … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 6 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 20, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2014

There is such a lovely romantic simplicity to In A Good Way. All this talk of Christmas parties and dancing and makeovers are really quaint but I enjoy watching it so much because it all occurs in the still formative years of a bunch of college students. Some are more worldly than others, but still its very entertaining to see … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 4 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 17, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 17, 2013

I’m positively over-the-moon with how wonderful Prime Minister and I continues to be. An hour whips by and I have a giant grin plastered on my face the entire time. The ancillary stuff like plotting uncle and brooding aide and lovelorn chief of staff is sprinkled lightly to keep the action moving, but the drama understands its central purpose which … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 3 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 16, 2013

I love this drama and I love even more how happy it makes me. A drama needn’t be perfect to love it as long as it conveys the feeling of love perfectly. While the OTP of Da Jung and Yul in Prime Minister and I are nowhere near tumbling into blissful romance, their are edging closer toward jumping onto a … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 5 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 15, 2013

Sometimes I wish drama titles could be translated literally because it usually has a much more visceral meaning in the original language. In A Good Way is the English drama title but the Chinese title is Our Era of Freedom. The era part connotes both the period setting, bringing audiences today back to their own past and an era of … Continue reading →
