Love, Now with Annie Chen and George Hu Releases First Cute Teaser and Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 13, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2012

Annie Chen is making a niche for herself as the queen of the daily dramas, with her Inborn Pair quite the surprise hit last year and next month she’s coming back to SETTV via the daily drama Love, Now co-starring George Hu. I thought she had great chemistry with her IP co-star Chris Wang, but I’m betting based on the … Continue reading →

Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young Light Up Busan for Wolfboy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 13, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2012

Park Bo Young and Song Joong Ki are seriously soooooo cute together I’m thisclose to shipping them in real life. Sorry Moon Chae Won, I love your Eun Gi, but in terms of off screen chemistry these two get my vote. These two have been doing the interview circuit recently for the movie and I love their playful banter, especially … Continue reading →

Conflicting News Reports on Chun Jung Myung Joining Missing You

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2012

Might as well string me up and beat me, the pain will at least be short lived, whereas Missing You will haunt me for 24-episodes equal to 12 weeks equal to 3 months. That’s a long time to suffer the pain of seeing two of my favorite actors in the same drama where they are not the OTP. Seriously? If … Continue reading →

Written and Video Previews for Episode 12 of Miss Rose

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2012

I’m going to have to steel myself for some noble idiocy coming up in Miss Rose, but I’m hoping its short-lived and works well to push Si Yi to confront her growing feelings for Cheng Kuan and figure out what that means. I think our intrepid Miss Rose is herself at a stage where many issues are converging and she … Continue reading →

Hu Ge and Liu Shi Shi Pair Up for a Version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 12, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 12, 2012

If you love wuxia dramas and saw that picture above without any context, chances are you’d be screaming and running around like a headless chicken, much like I did for a good 2 minutes. Since I’m a Louis Cha wuxia fangirl, anytime his novels gets yet another drama adaptation I’m all over it like cat on cream. Even if the … Continue reading →

Latest Miss Rose Official Website Blog Entry Reveals Drama Spoilers

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 11, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 11, 2012

I now own a giant poster of Roy Qiu I don’t know what to do with (see above where the two tiny hands are holding it up for me). Mainly because I’m not 16 anymore, or whatever age it is that girls plaster posters of cute guys on the wall. I considered making out with it per the enabling friends … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 10 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 11, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 11, 2012

Episode 10 of Nice Guy marks the midway point of this drama, and feels rather lightweight as a standalone episode in a drama full of tension-filled and taut moments. Nevertheless, this episode was critical in setting up multiple arcs that will surely be delved into in the second half, but overall I’m still left unsure of where it’s all headed. … Continue reading →

First Official Stills from Missing You Show Young Lovers Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 11, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 11, 2012

Man, just seeing the first official stills from Missing You gave me a good laugh. Don’t get me wrong, the stills are gorgeous, the two young leads Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun are gorgeous, and the entire mood of the two teenage lovers frolicking in the rain and looking all moony at each other is gorgeous. But can … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Episode 10 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 10, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 10, 2012

When watching the last scene of episode 9 of Nice Guy, I’m once again struck by Lee Kyung Hee‘s preparation for this drama. Details from previous scenes reemerge in new ways to move the story forward, and the PD knows just how much flashback and when to use it judiciously to heighten the mood without making us feel like morons. … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 9 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 10, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 10, 2012

Oh wow. That was interesting. Not sure if I can go about making heads or tails of what episode 9 of Nice Guy did to the drama narrative as a whole, but it definitely took a great leap forward. Whether that leap is in the right direction only time can tell, but I wouldn’t write off what happened as crazy … Continue reading →

Latest Spoilers and Pictures for the Upcoming Episodes of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 9, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 9, 2012

Looking back at my original impression of Nice Guy, I was fascinated by Maru, intrigued by Jae Hee, and not sure quite what to make of Eun Gi. Flash forward eight episodes and my impressions of the three leads have completely changed. I’m beyond obsessed with Eun Gi, find Maru somewhat interesting but if he fell off a cliff I … Continue reading →

Miss Rose Episode 11 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 9, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 9, 2012

Oh holy freaking momma was this episode of Miss Rose amazing! Yes, the OTP still hasn’t talked directly about their feelings for each other, but dang it everything else is barreling full speed ahead with the start of a conversation-laden episode. This was Cheng Kuan’s episode to shine, and my Roy Qiu shined brighter than the moon by owning every … Continue reading →
