In A Good Way Episode 5 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 13, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 13, 2013

I think the excitement over how awesome In A Good Way was right off the bat caused some delirium on my part and now I’m slowly talking myself down that high so that I can handle the long journey with this drama and not jump my own shark. Episode 5 continued the steady ratings increase by hitting 2.17 among the … Continue reading →

Heirs/The Inheritors Episode 20 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 12, 2013 by ockoalaMarch 28, 2014

It’s with a pat on the head that I put Heirs/The Inheritors away, a drama that had so much but did so very little with it. It was enjoyable but frustrating, harmless yet mildly irritating. I wanted to tell it all the time to get on with telling me a story with more purpose while it stubbornly insisted that this … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 2 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 10, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 10, 2013

Episode 2 of Prime Minister and I sealed the deal for me. I have a date with you for the next 7 weeks, m’kay? Not every contract marriage drama works for me even if I do have a inexplicable fondness for this set up. Sometimes its just so stupid or the two leads make no sense to be together, whatever … Continue reading →

Prime Minister and I Episode 1 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 9, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 10, 2013

The arrival of Prime Minister and I was like a clean fresh breeze airing out a stuffy room filled with disappointment and lament. This is a promising start with an entertaining first episode. Considering that all the good parts in episode 1 was already shown in the long preview, it’s a testament to this story being interesting and the performances … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 4 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 8, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 8, 2013

The schedule for In A Good Way will be slower than when I recap K-dramas and that’s due to the slower release of the video files as well as my wanting to savor this sweetness and take my time with each recap. Liu Chuan said to Jia En in episode 3 that it’s not just what happens that matters but … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 3 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 5, 2013 by ockoalaApril 21, 2015

Excuse me while I fangirl. This drama has turned me into an utter and complete fangirl content on grinning like a loon when I watch it. The fact that its amazingly good is just icing on the cake. In A Good Way turns back the clock for me, plops me right back into the heady days of college when the … Continue reading →

Heirs/The Inheritors Episode 18 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 5, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 5, 2013

This was the strangest episode of Heirs/The Inheritors to date. Compared to yesterday’s slow as molasses, filler-heavy flashback scenes, and emotional overkill with nothing substantive happening, this episode 18 was a veritable dump truck full of action. That’s good, right? I asked for that, right? Yeah I did, so I’m not going to complain about things happening finally other than … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 2 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 5, 2013 by ockoalaApril 18, 2014

Where is a real life Liu Chuan and can I have one of my own? He is so much love I can’t even, upping his sheer awesomeness in episode 2 above and beyond anything I could have predicted. For a drama that purports to be quite slice of life and has captured that vibe wonderfully, In A Good Way moves … Continue reading →

Heirs/The Inheritors Episode 17 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 4, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 4, 2013

The departure of Eun Sang at the end of episode 16 of Heirs/The Inheritors was nicely done. It happened off screen so that Tan was blindsided, and even the audience who figured it was going to happen with the Chairman’s ultimatum as well as Eun Sang’s farewell tour it still felt like a punch in the gut. Which makes episodes … Continue reading →

Marry Him If You Dare Episode 16 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 4, 2013

How does one go about writing the recap for episode 16 of Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice)? One one hand, proper English grammar, syntax, and logical reasoning feel wasted when used on the 60-minutes that just transpired onscreen. On the other hand, writing a recap consisting of “buh?” and “whut?” and “WTF!?!?!” and “Bwahahahaha!” isn’t very easy to … Continue reading →

In A Good Way Episode 1 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2013 by ockoalaMay 17, 2014

I haven’t watched a good Taiwan drama all year and I despaired of this sad reality ever changing any time soon. King Flower was addicting in a trainwreck way though ultimately the great chemistry between the non-canon OTP that ended up becoming the OTP was a wild and weird watching adventure I gladly relished while it lasted. But good acting … Continue reading →

Marry Him If You Dare Episode 15 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 2, 2013 by ockoalaMay 8, 2014

If we accept that Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) is a drama NOT about love, romance, the joy of dating, the sadness of logical romantic obstacles, and the satisfaction of a well-earned happy ending, then episode 15 might actually have some bittersweet poignancy all on its own. Unfortunately for those wanting actual romance from a drama that seemed … Continue reading →

Heirs/The Inheritors Episode 16 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 28, 2013 by ockoalaNovember 28, 2013

For an episode that aired coincidentally on Thanksgiving for those in the US, it’s a holiday that evokes both warm familial reunions and fractured familial niceties. Families that get along enjoy a boisterous meal, families that loathe each other dine in barely concealed veneer of courtesy. Episode 16 of Heirs/The Inheritors finally took the main narrative conflict of dynastic inheritance … Continue reading →
