Little Sister Pretense Interrupts a Hot Makeout Session in Episode 7 of Marry Me or Not

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 12, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 11, 2015
Couple sharing a kiss indoors.

How can Marry Me or Not continue to meld laughter and sizzle in such synchronicity I will never understand, not because it’s impossible but because it’s ever so rare nowadays in dramas. I love when storytelling convincingly showcases layers just like in real life, and in the upcoming episode 7 of Marry Me or Not, the pretend romance attempts to … Continue reading →

God I love this drama so much, so *bleeping* much. The pace is slowing down in Marry Me or Not, but the narrative is deepening because of it as the characters try to figure out what they are really feeling about each other. Episode 6 was yet another phenomenal outing, funny and tense and romantic all wrapped into one. I’m … Continue reading →

The OTP Goes on a Pretend Date that Gets All Too Real in Episode 6 of Marry Me or Not

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 5, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 5, 2015
Couple kissing on a carousel at night.

The director of Marry Me or Not gets my unending thanks on a twofold level, one for filming this drama so beautifully it takes my breath away, and second for pushing his leads on the acting level to keep upping their performance and get out of their comfort zone. All of that shows up onscreen as perfection for the viewers, … Continue reading →

Episode 5 of Marry Me or Not Brings the OTP to Dream and Real Cohabitational Bliss

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 30, 2015 by ockoalaDecember 3, 2015
Couple playfully interacting in a cozy setting.

I’m having a hard time succinctly verbalizing what I love so much about TW-drama Marry Me or Not. Even if it didn’t star my beloved Roy Qiu and Alice Ke reunion coupling, the narrative storytelling is top notch on its own. What Roy and Alice bring is incomparable sizzle and delicate nuance, so one moment I think the screen is … Continue reading →

Agree! Totally 100% agree with this voting result, which is becoming more and more a rarity these days. Sometimes I wonder if my tastes have stayed the same while the newer drama viewers are headed in a different direction, but then a special drama comes along that hits all the right spots for me and then I could care less … Continue reading →

I get super excited during the week lead up to every new Sunday episode of Marry Me or Not. This is one drama that has managed to be the best aspects of Taiwan dramas do the best – silly slap stick blended with nuanced emotional development. Office Girls remains one of my fondest Taiwan drama watches but it was admittedly … Continue reading →

Marry Me or Not Sends the Bickering New Couple on a Showmanship Spa Date

It’s a feat of ingenious drama narrative that the heat keeps getting dialed up in TW-drama Marry Me or Not. If things keep heating up between Justin and Huan Huan, she’s definitely going to have to marry him even if she’d rather not. But that’s never going to happen, the sizzle between them is a force of nature and clearly … Continue reading →

God I love this drama so much, so so so much. The 3rd episode of TW-drama Marry Me or Not continues the excellent everything, as things come to a prescient ending between Huan Huan and the wrong sap she was going to marry, at the same time starting things off with an explosive snap, crackle, and pop between her and … Continue reading →

Ruined Wedding and Runaway Romance in Store for Marry Me or Not

Couple floating together in a serene pool.

I don’t think any song is more apt to describe TW-drama Marry Me or Not than that silly Lego Movie theme song “Everything is Awesome”. Everything really is awesome in this drama, from the writing, to the directing, and especially the acting. It’s funny and smart without losing a smidge of tongue-in-cheek quality. Even better is the conflicts are all … Continue reading →

Thank goodness new TW-drama Marry Me or Not got even better, validating that this isn’t a one-episode wonder type of drama and delivering yet another fun filled hour of laughs and swoons. My eyes soak up the beautiful eye candy that is Roy Qiu and Alice Ke looking so beautiful onscreen it might be illegal, with an added layer of … Continue reading →

Yay! It’s finally here, the premiere of TW-drama Marry Me, or Not this Sunday November 1st. It’s only fitting that the drama got a Sunday night prime airing slot since the drama reunites the leads from the last big hit Sunday night drama which was Office Girls back in 2011.

By all that is drama holy, if Marry Me, or NotĀ ends up being half as good as it looks in this particular preview then I will stop bemoaning 2015 being lackluster in dramas. Initially this started off as just the reunion vehicle for hit TW-drama Office Girls costars Roy Qiu and Alice Ke, two of my favorite Taiwan acting talent … Continue reading →
