This post is dedicated to my sister (my real one, not my kindred spirit drama sisters), who spent the past week calling me ostensibly to say hi each time, but really it was just an excuse to talk about Dream High. Which really was also an excuse for her to moon over Kim Soo Hyun. I don’t blame her, I … Continue reading →
Dear drama gods: It’s me, Koala. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for you have truly outdone yourselves this time when you allowed the universe to align and Kang Ji Hwan and Yoon Eun Hye to make a drama together. Sincerely: *still picking jaw off the ground* Hey guys, I’ve never lead off with a spoiler picture, usually … Continue reading →
Of the two K-dramas I am currently watching, the two sets of OTP appear to be going in opposite directions. One is kissing each other towards a head-on collision of love, the other is purposely walking away from each other. The latter refers to Jin and Ae Jung in Best Love, of course, where my insides were twisted into a … Continue reading →
The final episode of Taiwan’s airing of Sunny Happiness is this Sunday night. I haven’t been keeping up with the TW-airing of SH since I’ve watched the darn drama three times now. I know there were cut scenes from the China airing that were added back for the TW-airing, most notably the entire wedding night scene, but now its been … Continue reading →
It’s official. I’m totally addicted to Lie to Me. I even forced my poor sister and sister-in-law to watch the Ice-cream Kiss with me (opinion – woah…..). They asked which recent drama to watch, and I told them both to watch Best Love instead, because frankly BL is at a different level of awesome. But I’m more obsessed with LTM, … Continue reading →
After sharing the happy news of their engagement two weeks ago, Eugene and Ki Tae Young held a press conference this week for the first time as a public couple, answering questions about their courtship, sharing news about their wedding, and generally being so stunningly happy I’m sure anyone in the vicinity of them must be bathed in their bliss. … Continue reading →
Gosh, it’s so nice to see my I Lub You. Psst, Woo Sung-oppa, I wasn’t contemplating cheating on you with Kang Ji Hwan. He belongs to Javabeans, and I of course am a three-man Koala. Not contemplating adding to my manrem, no sirree. *weak laugh* Jung Woo Sung is featured in the May issue of Bazaar magazine, and he’s looking … Continue reading →
DC Gall and Baidu lit up today with the reveal of unverified written preview spoilers for episode 9 and 10 of Best Love. I read these, and it sounds so like the Hong Sisters (and this drama narrative so far) that I thought it’s worth translating. Remember this is not confirmed, so if the next two episodes end up with different … Continue reading →
You didn’t think I was kidding when I made a passing reference to an insane amount of Kang Ji Hwan–Yoon Eun Hye posts in the future, right? Well, I’ll try to keep the volume down, but holy smokes Batman that is hard to do when Lie to Me goes fan service on me, holding a media day yesterday and we … Continue reading →
Episode 2 finally shed light on why all the preview stills and trailers made City Hunter seem tri-polar (revenge thriller, action flick, slapstick rom-com). While episode 1 had narrative consistency and thematic focus, episode 2 was all over the place. I’m not kidding, get Yoon Sung back to the jungle, stat. I started scribbling a recap as I was watching … Continue reading →
Drunken to Love You is just such an exquisite drama, one that marinates in real emotional build-up, taking the viewer from watching two strangers meet to understanding how they could fall in love. I hope this week’s episode doesn’t end with another high-blood pressure inducing cliffhanger. It’s been a tough week waiting to see whether Avril’s evil plot worked. I … Continue reading →
Lie to Me is evil. It’s a borderline-crappy drama that has managed to suck me in because my Koala sense is tingling all over with respect to the Kang Ji Hwan–Yoon Eun Hye OTP. Last time this happened was with respect to the Geun-Geuns. Suddenly I’m watching BTS videos (OMG they are so cute together) and giggling as I rewatch them … Continue reading →
Bring on the pleasure, then whack us with the pain. That must be the sadistic motto of the Hong Sisters. Not only are they making me hurt like hell, they are making me wait a whole week to see what happens next. God, if I weren’t in such a codependent relationship with the Best Love (The Greatest Love) and can … Continue reading →
