Video Preview for Episode 9 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2012 by ockoalaJune 30, 2012

KBS released some new stills of Mari, who is looking prettier than ever, as well as the video preview for episode 9. The preview gets my blood pressure up, all on account of Mari. She’s not dastardly, per se, but she’s starting to really grate on my nerves. I suppose my patience is wearing thin with her because I see … Continue reading →

Spoiler Pictures Reveal Married Life Begins for Da Ran and Kyung Jae on Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2012 by ockoalaJune 30, 2012

I don’t think the news that Da Ran and Kyung Jae start living together is a spoiler to anyone, since they are married now and for all intents and purposes ought to be living together so as to not arouse suspicions from either family. But the article that accompanied these new pictures does have some spoilery tidbits about Big so … Continue reading →

Suzy and Baek Sung Hyun Hold Me2Day Chat for Big Plus Latest BTS Videos

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 29, 2012 by ockoalaJune 29, 2012

[Breaking news: I know which episode Kyung Joon’s body might wake up. It was in the news. I’ll hide the spoiler below the cut.] Following in the footsteps of Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung‘s Me2Day chat two weeks ago with the fans of Big, the other two leads Suzy and Baek Sung Hyun held their own chat yesterday with … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 9 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 28, 2012 by ockoalaJune 28, 2012

Well the written preview for episode 9 of Big certainly starts to shed light on the mystery of the connection between the two male leads. I’m actually hoping this will send the mystery unraveling at hyper speed rather than dribs and drabs, though I am wanting more Kyung Jae-Da Ran married couple cuteness before the inevitable hammer of angst hits. … Continue reading →

Koala Drops a Theory on the Big Soul Swap Mystery

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 26, 2012 by ockoalaJune 26, 2012

I think I might have solved the big mystery in Big – the connection between Yoon Jae and Kyung Joon, which leads into why their souls switched during the accident. Of course nothing can truly explain away the magic involved, but I think I have the context and the raison d’etre. This is completely my speculation after mulling over all … Continue reading →

Big Episode 8 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 26, 2012 by ockoalaJune 26, 2012

Speechless. Episode 8 left me completely speechless with what happened, how it all unfolded, and the big kapow possibility at the end. I can’t believe the Hong Sisters actually went there. But the intense, mature, and honest emotional revelations and discussions in episode 8 left me quivering from absorbing so much. Da Ran finally broke through her self-doubt and figured … Continue reading →

Spoiler Pictures for Cute Water Play in Episode 8 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 25, 2012 by ockoalaJune 25, 2012

I can sincerely say that Big is a drama that is much better watched than reading the recaps. I don’t always feel this way, as a recap writer I actually resort to reading recaps of my own or others for certain dramas I’m in the mood to revisit. Sometimes it’s to reminisce about a scene, other times to savor an … Continue reading →

Big Episode 7 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 25, 2012 by ockoalaJune 25, 2012

Episode 7 of Big was noticeably low on energy. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it felt devoid of any zip and the characters were rather in suspended animation. A few plot points got moved forward, but the process unfolded without much to grip my attention. Emotionally I was invested, because the episode moved Da Ran and … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 8 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 25, 2012 by ockoalaJune 25, 2012

Little. Heart. Break. If the end of episode 7 of Big has already cracked my heart a sliver, I shudder to think what sort of inconsolable mess I’ll be when the angst really hits in this drama. But then I tell myself that every drama couple needs to go through the tough challenges to earn their time together, so I’ll … Continue reading →

A Supermarket Date is Coming in Episode 7 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 24, 2012 by ockoalaJune 24, 2012

I’m starting the get the weird sensation of deja vu. Last June I found myself completely obsessed with a drama that ended up sucking months out of my life, and this June I seemed to have descended down the exact same black hole (though Lie to Me started in May and ended in June, whereas Big started in June and will … Continue reading →

Mari Makes Her Move in Episode 7 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 24, 2012 by ockoalaJune 23, 2012

As far as second female leads go, Suzy‘s persistent little stalker Mari in Big ranks pretty low on the annoying meter. She amuses me, probably because I adore Suzy and she’s not a serious third wheel in the Kyung Jae-Da Ran growing relationship. A third reason might be that the other second female lead Se Young owns all the requisite … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 7 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2012 by ockoalaJune 23, 2012

Hot hot off the press – the long awaited video preview for episode 7 of Big plus my translation of the dialogue. Is this a perfect start to the weekend or what? Can I say that everything I see still looks fantastic. Mari finds out about the body switch and starts making her move, but Da Ran also takes a … Continue reading →

KBS Releases Additional Gorgeous BTS Stills from Episodes 5 and 6 of Big

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 22, 2012 by ockoalaJune 22, 2012

Sigh, how could they look so perfect together? Why does a tux and a wedding dress turn my insides into joyful jelly. At this point Big is beyond amazing to me, both in its uncertain narrative and fractured lens of viewing what we see and what we know. We see 31 old Yoon Jae, but we know he’s 19 year … Continue reading →
