Calling all Damo Paeins (are you there, Ms. thunderbolt?). Do you have your Depends on? Are you sitting down? Do you have a weak consitution? Actually, if you are a Damo Paein – you have the opposite of a weak consitution, you are the strongest drama watcher out there. I salute you, since watching Damo made me so dehydrated by … Continue reading →

I wanted to start this post with an expletive, but it’s both an overreaction on my part and inappropriate since I am pretending to have semblance of professionalism in my writing. But hot dang diggity dog it, I have no words….. for the content of the written preview for episode 10 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!). … Continue reading →

Finally! The controversy and conspiracy theories can be laid to rest now. Yahoo has investigated the allegations of voting discrepancies, and have discounted any votes from any suspicious IP address, which did not just appear in the votes for any one star but throughout the nominees pool. As a result, Yahoo released the definite and confirmed winners for its 2010 … Continue reading →

Episode 9 Secret Garden Preview (Written and Video)

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 9, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 9, 2010

After three straight episodes of body-switch antics, Secret Garden is finally heading into the meat of the drama, IMO. It’s weird – eight episodes has lapsed, and I still don’t quite grasp the story. Perhaps its the mad genius of Kim Eun Sook, or a total lack of focus on her part. I have to say that SG may be … Continue reading →

Couple holding hands in twinkling garden

I realized today that I’ve been blogging on AKP for exactly for six months. I started on June 8, and I took a look at the view count and realized that (holy mother of Zeus!) I am edging close to crossing the one million mark. While this is beyond any expectation of mine, since I had NONE to begin with, … Continue reading →

Friends playing guitar and biking in winter

I just discovered that sometimes its harder to write a recap after digesting the episode for a longer period of time. Incubating episode 9 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) in my head all day rather disrupted my usual thought flow. After watching the episode, I was brimming with things to say. Once I sat down to … Continue reading →

Two women outdoors, one playing guitar, one resting

Remember – my recap is not forthcoming for a good long while on episode 9 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!). But the written preview did not lie, we’re slowly but surely heading into grade-A angst territory. I’m thrilled to get three episodes next week, because I foresee those to be utterly chock-a-block with angst. Hopefully also … Continue reading →

Do you guys want the good news or the bad news? Okay, I’ll decide – bad news first. I’m the type that eats the yucky vegetables so I can save the delicious chicken nuggets for last when I got my kid’s meal. The bad news is that I’m attending an all day conference Tuesday and Wednesday (not that you guys … Continue reading →

Did you all survive the last 6 days? You know we have four more weeks of this torture, right?

KBS hasn’t released the written preview for episode 9 yet, which is a big disappointment since the Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) previews are so rich in details yet manages to leave out the juiciest spoilers that keep us surprised time and again when we watch the actual episode.

I almost never do a post consisting of only official stills, since they are just window-dressing at the end of the day. Pretty pictures I can use to top a post or stare at longingly when I miss a drama. When it comes to Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!), the undercurrent of desire for information is all-consuming, … Continue reading →
