Office Girls Episode 22 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 25, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2012

With the recent upheaval in download land, it took me awhile to scrounge up episode 22 of Office Girls to screencap it. This episode was solid, with the big fat reveal we’ve all been waiting for, which went down in the typical OG low-on-drama way. I appreciate how the characters are written so consistently in this drama, despite wanting Xing … Continue reading →

The Moon that Embraces the Sun Episode 5 and 6 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2012

At the rate the ratings for The Moon that Embraces the Sun is rising, MBC likely has the biggest sageuk hit on its hand since 2010’s Dong Yi, and might even rival the ratings juggernaut that was its biggest hit in years, 2009’s Queen Seon Deok. I appreciate how the drama is moving along so quickly, even if I get … Continue reading →

The Moon that Embraces the Sun Episode 4 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 12, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 12, 2012

Two brothers. One girl. Clearly someone is getting his heart broken, and I can’t say I’m happy to see either guy suffer, even if I know both will. How can so much cuteness be built upon impending (and present) heartbreak? Episode 4 of The Moon that Embraces the Sun finds taciturn King Sungjo getting hit up by every one of … Continue reading →

The Moon that Embraces the Sun Episode 3 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2012

Better and better. The Moon that Embraces the Sun continues to envelope me in great storytelling and beautiful directing. My heart is completely lost to Prince Yang Myung in his teenage incarnation, with the little smidgeon of hope he harbors in his heart daring to come out when it comes to Yeon Woo. I’m a sucker for hurt boys, and … Continue reading →

Office Girls Episode 21 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 10, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2012

Not sure what to say about episode 21 of Office Girls, other than plot development-wise I’m not certain this drama can wrap up with two more episodes to go. Which is where I ought to tell you all that both PPTV and Baike have just revised OG as ending in 30 episodes, though there has been no official confirmation from … Continue reading →

The Moon that Embraces the Sun Episode 2 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 5, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 5, 2012

Yes, I calmed the heck down since my spazzing about episode one of The Moon that Embraces to Sun. This drama is settling in nicely with a great steady pace, building on story and character developments with ease and a light touch. Sageuks normally take their time to create the universe and allow the narrative to proceed at a fluid … Continue reading →

The Moon that Embraces the Sun Episode 1 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 4, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 5, 2012

Love. LOVE. I love it, I love it, I love it! Episode 1 of The Moon that Embraces the Sun was everything I wanted, and then some. Heavy political intrigue, gut-wrenching betrayals and sacrifices, the headiness of young love, this drama might just have it all. It’s beautifully filmed, gorgeously scored, and wonderfully acted. It just hit the trifecta of … Continue reading →

Office Girls Episode 20 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 2, 2012 by ockoalaJanuary 2, 2012

Office Girls isn’t just content on coasting by with its top-ratings, which is surging close to breaking 6 again, its actually trying to end the drama with a bang instead of a whimper. Episode 20 was great, taking the angst and filtering it into pushing Zi Qi and Xing Ren’s relationship forward past even the landmines Kai Er is building. … Continue reading →

Me Too Flower! Episode 15 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 28, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 15, 2012

Let me get this out of the way first. I loved this final episode of Me Too, Flower! It wasn’t perfect, not by a long shot, but it was wholly satisfying in the things that mattered and served up a proper and meaningful ending in the truncated time allotted. I loved it so much its helped ease my frustration over … Continue reading →

Skip Beat Episode 2 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 28, 2011 by ockoalaMay 7, 2012

I don’t know what happened, or how it happened so quickly, but episode 2 of Skip Beat slowed down considerably from its rollicking start. The script, execution, and acting are still fabulous, especially with the introduction of more characters, but I found myself wanting this story to get a move on. Which is my issue with the manga itself, so … Continue reading →

Office Girls Episode 19 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 26, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 26, 2011

I’ve been stuffing myself full of food for the last few days but it’s been lean on my drama intake. Totally backlogged but will undoubtedly catch up in due course. Office Girls episode 19 continues the dichotomy of being completely boring in any scene not involving Xing Ren and Zi Qi, and then nailing it when the two of them … Continue reading →

Me Too, Flower Episode 14 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 8, 2014

Wow. I can’t describe what I just watched using words that don’t involve expletives. What the hell was all that? Magic voices? The mastermind bike burglar? Hwa Young unraveling but no one forcefully institutionalizing her? Bong Sun remaining steadfast to her “I don’t know why we broke up, but I’m sure it’s a valid reason” illogic? Episode 14 of Me … Continue reading →

Me Too, Flower! Episode 13 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 21, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 21, 2011

This episode of Me Too, Flower! left me strangely unmoved. The interesting writing, great acting, and lovely directing was still all there, but I felt a bit like I was being manipulated to feel something that didn’t need to be felt. With Jae Hee pulling the rug out from under Hwa Young and then smacking her upside the head with … Continue reading →
