It’s time for another installment of Pimp That Drama. The first post was months ago, when I pimped out Hotaru no Hikari, and in the interim I simply got swept up into a veritable tidal wave of love for a certain kissy kissy drama. While I write formal reviews for Thundie, a PTD post is not a formal review inasmuch … Continue reading →
Playful Kiss Youtube Edition BTS Goodies
Sometimes I wonder if I’m sick of Playful Kiss yet? Hhhhm, the answer is clearly no. But my spirits are flagging, and only a good boat scene or three can revive me again. Until that steam boat arrives at the harbor, have some new PK goodies. The picture above is a newly released official still from the first Youtube episode. … Continue reading →

Recap of Long Preview of Mary Stayed Out All Night
I posted the six-minute longer trailer for Marry Me, Mary! (M3) yesterday, and today I’ve recapped/translated the segment. No, please don’t thank me. I needed to do it for myself, because I’ve been watching this trailer non-stop, only taking a break to watch and recap Playful Kiss episode 3. I’m just going to call dibs now, okay? The Geun-Geun couple … Continue reading →
Playful Kiss YT Episode 3 Recap
Episode 3 of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition saw the return of even more familiar faces. I noticed that episode 1 was all Ha Ni and Seung Jo, episode 2 brought back Eun Jo, Min Ah, and Joo Ri, and now episode 3 adds Mom and Dad to the fray.

Long Preview for M3 Released During Press Conference
The long preview for Marry Me, Mary! was released during its press conference, and I have it for everyone hot off the press. All I can say is: it’s a win for me! I find it adorable without being overly cutesy, whimsical without being overly weird.

The Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition has released episode-by-episode synopses. I’ll skip episodes 1 and 2 since it’s already aired. These written previews are quite detailed, and pretty much summarize each episode fully. I mean it, total spoilers, so read at your own risk. Nonetheless, we watch it for the cute, not for the unknown plot developments, right? A reminder … Continue reading →
Playful Kiss YT Episode 2 Recap
You know, I could really get used to this. Spending ten minutes a day with Seung Jo and Ha Ni, amusing myself with their life, wishing somehow this could go on forever. Episode 2 of the Playful Kiss Youtube edition reminded me so much of the interlude from the drama where Ha Ni tries to become a better tennis player … Continue reading →
Mary Holds Press Conference
I give up. I give up ever trying to convince anyone that Jang Geun Seok is a man, and a perfectly good actor at that. If he persists in dressing like a tranny without any taste, then who am I to judge. Marry Me, Mary! or M3 held its press conference today for its upcoming premiere next Monday.

This is likely the last trailer for the drama formerly known as Mary Stayed Out All Night, which became Marry Me, Mary!, which I shall henceforth refer to as M3 (thanks for coining the acronym @hjkomo!). It pretty much has one major scene, and that’s it. But oh boy is it a doozy of a scene to just drop in a … Continue reading →
Playful Kiss YT Episode 1 Recap
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I say absence makes me a cranky and irascible koala. But I won’t hold it against Playful Kiss for taking a short break and returning to my embrace with the first of 7 new episodes (plus 2 BTS specials) broadcast solely on Youtube. All good things come to those who wait, … Continue reading →

Oh thank god! Athena released a few stills where its currrently filming in Hawaii, which presumably only involves Cha Seung Won and Su Ae based on the stills. I let out a huge sigh of relief – it’s so good to see my sexy ahjusshi Cha Seung Won back on his feet after a prolonged bout of illness. Not to … Continue reading →
