Drunken to Love You Episode 15 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 26, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 26, 2011

This was an curious episode of Drunken to Love You. I’m not quite sure what to make of it. I enjoyed it, but I feel like we’re just getting plot for the sake of plot at this point. I can’t complain, because it means we get to spend more time with Xiao Ru and Jie Xiu, and lord knows I’m … Continue reading →

Director Doze Niu’s LOVE starts filming with Ethan Ruan, Mark Chao, and Eddie Peng

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 26, 2011

What a star-studded cast for a movie. LOVE is Director Doze Niu‘s followup film to his blockbuster and critically-acclaimed Monga, and will be reuniting his two leads from Monga, Ethan Ruan and Mark Chao, plus adding Eddie Peng to the male cast. The boys attended a media event to announce the start of filming, and what’s funny is that you … Continue reading →

Spy Myung Wol Episode 5 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 25, 2011

Finally I feel it. The slight uptick in story progression, pace, and cohesiveness in episode 5 of Spy Myung Wol was what I needed to keep my interest in this drama. I genuinely laughed a few times this episode, felt the faint stirrings of my heart for the OTP, and found myself actually interested in what’s coming down the road … Continue reading →

Video and Written Previews for Episode 6 of Spy Myung Wol

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 25, 2011

Just a reminder to ask me before copying and pasting any of my work, and always with proper credit please. Once again people tell me they see my stuff floating around without proper credits. As for Spy Myung Wol, I’m loving KBS’s written preview writer, who reveals enough to get our interest up, but not too much as to let … Continue reading →

Material Queen Episode 6 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 11, 2012

Why did I use a picture of a scraggly unkempt dude holding a gerbil in a plastic ball for my recap for episode 6 of Material Queen? If you read the recap you’ll appreciate his uniqueness. We ought to first have a moment of silence for poor Elizabeth the Sixth, the innocent victim of corporate evildoers. The man holding Elizabeth … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 5 of Spy Myung Wol

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 25, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 25, 2011

I knew the preview at the end of episode 4 of Spy Myung Wol wasn’t the real deal. But it’s odd for a K-drama to show non-previews this early in its airing. I can’t believe SMW is already on a live-shoot system four episodes in. Which lends credence to the rumor that the production is scrambling to fix issues viewers … Continue reading →

Lie to Me Releases Final Song from its OST “Anything” by JUST

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 24, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 12, 2013

It’s finally out. Dear drama gods – I love you and thank you. Seriously, I’m crying like a lost bunny right now as I listen to this song on repeat. This is my favorite song off the Lie to Me OST, because this song belongs only to Ki Joon and Ah Jung as it explains their love story. The last song … Continue reading →

Song Joong Ki Visits the Philippines with Vogue Girl Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 24, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 26, 2011

I absolutely refuse to believe that this man-boy is 27 years old. Either he’s won the perpetual youth lottery, or I just need Song Joong Ki to do one certifiable romantic leading man role before my mind can transition him over. Oddly, he’s a good decade older than Yoo Seung Ho, but they could pass for fraternal twins of the … Continue reading →

Black & White Episode 2 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 24, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 24, 2011

Are you guys addicted to Black & White yet? This is just the tip of the iceburg, and each episode brings new twist and new revelations until your head is spinning with the intensity. While I have to admit that there are huge gaping plot holes as the drama barrels towards its conclusion, for the most part it’s so ambitious … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young Prepares for Fan Meeting and Upcoming M3 Promotional Tour in Japan with Jang Geun Seok

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 23, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 23, 2011

What have my GeunGeuns been up to lately? Jang Geun Seok has been busy filming You’re My Pet with Kim Ha Neul, while Moon Geun Young went back to school for the last semester. She’s got a fan meeting scheduled for July 30th, of which the tickets sold out in about 15 minutes flat once it went on sale. The … Continue reading →

Black & White Episode 1 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 23, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 23, 2011

A great drama stands the test of time. Black & White may just be the best TW-drama ever made, and not just because it stars my Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) as the male lead. B&W has it all – completely pre-shot on film stock with a seasoned PD, a star-studded cast, a riveting and tense story, a K-drama worthy emotional journey … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 23, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 22, 2011

A big Koala applause and well-wishes to Ki Tae Young and Kim Eugene on tying the knot. After dating for a year and a half, starting almost immediately after they finished filming Creating Destiny, Eugene and Ki Tae Young held a family and friends church wedding in Seoul on the afternoon of July 23rd. The guest list was surprisingly low … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 5 of Spy Myung Wol

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 22, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 22, 2011

I’ve heard murmurings that the interlude shown of Myung Wol and Kang Woo in Singapore at the end of episode 4 made folks think it was a preview for episode 5. I thought it was a fantasy sequence, maybe a future premonition, or some alternate universe scene. Because it was clearly set in Singapore, and Kang Woo still had his … Continue reading →
