I need a new episode of Big like a penguin need snow, like a cat needs nip, like a dog needs a bone, frankly, like a Koala needs eucalyptus. Who will save a poor Koala from perishing from want? Unless I figure out how to time-slip, I guess I have to be patient. While I don’t think the Hong Sisters … Continue reading →
Big may be about the maturation of a teenage boy, but it can be used to showcase the maturation of the Hong Sisters writing style. They dropped a stunning time jump at the end of episode 5, and all of episode 6 left me feeling like I was watching a completely different drama. Episode 1 was all sorts of dreamy … Continue reading →
When the Hong Sisters said they were doing a drama about a boy growing up, episode 5 of Big proves that they weren’t kidding and they are willing to expand their narrative considerably. Just as I was expecting more body switch hijinks, this episode takes me for twirl and then deposits me in jaw-drop land. I was floored by the … Continue reading →
Mind. Melted. Watching episode 5 of Big, I was tra-la-la-ing happily going with the flow, until I was smacked over the head with the Hong Sisters throwing in a twist this early in the game. What tha what? If you thought you knew how this story was going to unfold, I tell you now to throw it out the window … Continue reading →
This spoiler stuffed post for Big is so damn amazing it needs to be accompanied by the header for the Cola Kiss from Lie to Me. Yes, it’s at that level of making me so happy I might’ve burst a blood vessel somewhere. I had an amazing weekend already, so this is like icing on the cake I never expected … Continue reading →
I just had one of the most memorable dinners ever, capped off with a bottle of Opus One (so good I could cry), but I swear my evening got even better when I came home to find these pictures exploding off DC Gall. Lee Min Jung posted the latest spoiler pictures from Big, so be forewarned that it isn’t exactly … Continue reading →
Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo held a live chat on Me2Day with the fans of Big yesterday, though the conversation ended up being more about food than the drama. Both of them appear to have very lively and playful personalities when chatting online, and I can just imagine the fun all around on the set of the drama. Despite … Continue reading →
Waiting for new episodes of Big is like a drip drip water torture, but good news is that KBS hasn’t been stingy in releasing information about the drama. Recently there has been lots of BTS stills released, and many of them show the actors hard at work studying the script of goofing off. The vibe is decidedly animated and happy, … Continue reading →
First off – what’s with the repeated and constant speculation that Kyung Joon is Yoon Jae’s son? Please check the character chart before launching into such ridiculousness, because the dudes are twelve years apart. So unless we’re going into Kanon territory here, Yoon Jae didn’t impregnate a lady when he was 11 (plus the gestational 10 month, no?). I’m having … Continue reading →
I keep watching the end of episode 4 of Big over and over again. Kyung Jae’s run to stop Da Ran from using the key was so heartwarming and sweet, but I finally get to applaud Da Ran for stepping up and confronting hard truths. I get that she’s dense, trusting, and rather naive, but at least now I know … Continue reading →
If I wasn’t already rabid for Big, this episode would have turned the switch for me. It’s the one where all the first deeper stirrings of emotional connection between the OTP is triggered, where you see that they genuinely care about each other’s well being. What always sells a couple for me is when they care about how the other … Continue reading →
One thing that’s hard for me when watching Big is that I miss chibi-Kyung Joon so much. Shin Won Ho may not have one-tenth the acting prowess of Gong Yoo, who is nailing it as Kyung Jae, but I loved his posturing bickering with Da Ran. At this rate, I’m going to have an internal shipping battle between Kyung Joon … Continue reading →
Squeeee to the max! Episode 3 of Big was good, great, and stupendous all wrapped into one. I love this drama so much its embarrassing to acknowledge. I’m on a business trip so this recap will be short on thoughts but its really hard for me to stop myself from writing about this drama. I love how Kyung Jae and … Continue reading →
