Drunken to Love You Episode 8 Written Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 3, 2011 by ockoalaJune 3, 2011

I want everyone to just scream out loud – Song Jie Xiu, you are DAEBAK! Yeah, that felt great. Somewhere along the way, perhaps when Jie Xiu sketched his first wild boar girl picture, this man showed us all what drama leading men can and ought to be, and not what we hope they can become after they meet the … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 9 and 10 of Lie to Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 3, 2011 by ockoalaJune 3, 2011

Anything, something, is better than nothing, right? SBS released written previews for both episode 9 and 10, so we get a double dose of Lie to Me upcoming angst to whet our appetites. Unless the written previews say: Ki Joon gets on his knees and gets forgiveness, bitchslapping Yoon Joo a few times for good measure, and then Ki Joon … Continue reading →

Picture Spoilers for Lie to Me and What It Likely Means

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 3, 2011 by ockoalaJune 3, 2011

I had to dig and search and apply the most strenuous forms of deduction to produce these spoilers for Lie to Me. I don’t have a definitive answer about what it indicates, though there are two possibilities. While my addiction to LTM hasn’t yet reached M3 levels, but it’s getting there. I also made the mental corrolation why I love … Continue reading →

Ah Jung-related Spoiler for an Upcoming Episode of Lie to Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 2, 2011 by ockoalaJune 2, 2011

Let me preface by saying that I live, breathe, and sleep Lie to Me, so the lack of spoilers every hour, on the hour, is purely because SBS has suddenly turned into the Grinch who stole our collective minds and pulled an 180 on us all by keeping a tight lid on spoilers all of a sudden. Just so you … Continue reading →

Best Love Episode 10 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 2, 2011 by ockoalaJune 2, 2011

Do the Hong Sisters think I’m a robot? Do they think it’s funny to screw with my heart? To reach deep inside and squeeze until I can’t breathe anymore? I’ve just barely been able to stop hurting inside from the last ten minutes of Lie to Me (oops, take that back – I just checked, am still butt hurt and … Continue reading →

Hayate the Combat Butler with Park Shin Hye and George Hu Releases Teaser Trailers

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 2, 2011 by ockoalaJune 2, 2011

With the recent confirmation that Park Shin Hye‘s TW-drama Hayate the Combat Butler, co-starring George Hu and Tia Li, was getting a premiere date of June 19th on FTV, I’ve been wondering when the promotional materials would start trickling out. I need wait no more – the first three teaser trailers have been released. Yes, I can confirm that Shin … Continue reading →

A New Hairdo for One of the Male Leads in Lie to Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 1, 2011 by ockoalaJune 1, 2011

I wish I had more substantive Lie to Me updates for everyone, but all I’ve got is a haircut to share. It’s better than nothing, right? The male lead in question unveiled the haircut today while filming an upcoming birthday party scene. I have to say he looks so much better with this new do. I guess a new do … Continue reading →

Best Love Episode 9 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 1, 2011 by ockoalaJune 2, 2011

You didn’t think I would plaster the playground with Lie to Me kisses and then shaft the first kiss here, now did you? Best Love (The Greatest Love) is such a romantic drama. It’s not bathed in the romance lingo of fate, destiny, star-crossed lovers, or even mountains of obstacles. I find the pathos light, the stakes high but not insurmountable, but … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 10 of Best Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 1, 2011 by ockoalaJune 1, 2011

Drama gods, what did I do to deserve (or be punished for) the back-to-back-to-back awesome of three dramas in a row? Thank god getting to Best Love means saving the best for last, in terms of the best plot and writing, and also means I can take a break for a couple of days before the insanity repeats itself on … Continue reading →

Three Real Kisses and One May K-drama Poll

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 1, 2011 by ockoalaJune 1, 2011

My dearest drama friend Thundie, who always has the coolest and most creative posts, whispered to me yesterday that she was running a poll on the May K-dramas, asking folks what is their favorite, etc. I told her I’d make a post just to pimp her poll, so click here to vote away to your heart’s content. It looks like … Continue reading →

Material Queen Releases More Trailers and Vanness Wu’s Theme Song for the Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 1, 2011 by ockoalaJune 1, 2011

We’re just two and a half weeks away from the premiere of the TW-drama Material Queen, and this is one drama where every single promo, still, and trailer gets me more excited about it, where initially I had zero interest. Unlike in Autumn’s Concerto, lead actor Vanness Wu gets to showcase his singer roots and grew-up-in-the-US crossover appeal by singing the theme … Continue reading →

Lie to Me Episode 8 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 31, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 15, 2013

Just a word of warning for you guys – for the last 10 minutes of episode 8 of Lie to Me, I just sat there and sobbed. The uncontrollable pain came from deep within, and it’s a sign I’m so invested in Ah Jung and Ki Joon that when either or both of them hurt, I hurt. The spoiler about … Continue reading →

Drunken to Love You Episode 7 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 31, 2011 by ockoalaMay 31, 2011

Dui bu qi. Miahne. Gomen. Sorry to all the Drunkeners out there for this later than usual recap. Yes, I do feel bad when I don’t post on my usual schedule. It was a long weekend here in Koalalandia, plus another drama about a pretend marriage exploded in insane shippiness. So perfect, wonderful, reliable Drunken to Love You took a … Continue reading →
