2014 Drama Reviews: Enjoyment in the Good and the Inexplicably Bad

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 16, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 30, 2014

Year end drama reviews always starts off like a looming chore, telling me to wash the dish one more time even though I’ve washed it thoroughly already. But then I grow to appreciate it, the added step may yield a dirty spot I missed before, or even the chance to slow down and enjoy the process rather than bemoan the … Continue reading →

Retrospective: Yang Jin Sung Gorgeous in Bridal Finery Even Before Stealing Hearts in Bride of the Century

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 13, 2014 by ockoalaJune 13, 2014

In honor of Yang Jin Sung stealing my heart in Bride of the Century, I thought it nice to showcase this relatively unknown actress who has shot through the stardom roof with her titular turn as a curse-breaking bride. I confess to watching most of City Hunter and her not leaving an impression on me, and I did watch all … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 19, 2014 by ockoalaApril 18, 2014

Anyone ready for round two of Bride of the Century? No, I’m not talking about a sequel maybe involving a reformed Yi Kyung meeting her perfect man who ends up having a family curse spanning generations. What’s coming is a Chinese flavored Bride of the Century courtesy of a C-drama remake that is right around the corner. This is the … Continue reading →

Bride of the Century Episode 16 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 12, 2014 by ockoalaJune 24, 2014

I want to start off my recap for episode 16 of Bride of the Century by giving a heartfelt thanks to the cast, crew, and production team behind this drama. It’s not easy gaining viewership or traction when a drama airs on cable, even harder when it’s one of the most niche and small cable networks such as Chosen TV. … Continue reading →

Bride of the Century Episode 15 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 11, 2014 by ockoalaJune 27, 2014

I don’t blame anyone for getting frustrated with this episode of Bride of the Century but I for one loved it. I think it was written with such understanding of the main characters and how they would think and behave. I also think there are a few other lingering narrative threads that bubbled to the forefront and was handled really … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Episode 16 of Bride of the Century

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 11, 2014 by ockoalaApril 11, 2014

It’s Bride of the Century finale week and I’m a little overcome that this will be my last preview post on this drama. It’s been so good that I’m still pinching myself. Wondering “where’d this come from?” seems less important than hoping “can I get another one like this?” somewhere down the road. I can see the three major Korean … Continue reading →

Final Batch of Spoiler Stills for Last Two Episodes of Bride of the Century

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 10, 2014 by ockoalaApril 10, 2014

It was a rather mellow week for me despite eagerly awaiting the final two episodes of Bride of the Century waiting for me at the end of the week. This is one drama where all the previews and spoilers and stills for the final two episodes merely confirm that this story has one more trick up its sleeve but it’s … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Episode 15 of Bride of the Century

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 9, 2014 by ockoalaApril 9, 2014

I’m so super stoked about the upcoming ending of Bride of the Century. I feel this story has runs its course and anything more than two episodes left will be overkill. The supernatural elements of this drama have been thoroughly entertaining, at times less crazy than the machinations of the living such as Kang Joo’s mom selecting a sacrificial first … Continue reading →

Bride of the Century Episode 14 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 5, 2014 by ockoalaApril 6, 2014

Episode 14 of Bride of the Century ups its own successful formula in the previous 13-episodes and shoves everything into one action-packed hour that left me literally screaming at the screen when the ending rolled around. Drama be leaving me hanging with that crazy cliffhanger? *claws at the screen for moar goodness* This episode had a death, an attempted suicide, … Continue reading →

Bride of the Century Episode 13 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 4, 2014 by ockoalaApril 4, 2014

The first stirrings of angst arrived in Bride of the Century with Kang Joo leaving Doo Rim to avoid the bridal curse. That was followed by Doo Rim vowing to marry him through thick and thin and even the possibility of a post-wedding night death plus worse machinations from the living. Then came Doo Rim getting swapped out for Yi … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Episode 14 of Bride of the Century

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 4, 2014 by ockoalaApril 4, 2014

I have such a warm and fuzzy girl crush on Yang Jin Sung right now. It’s part and parcel with my newfounded love for Lee Hong Ki after watching them in Bride of the Century, but honestly Hong Ki is merely adorable cruising on his natural born star appeal while Yang Jin Sung is really acting her socks off. Every … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Bride of the Century Episode 13

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 1, 2014 by ockoalaApril 1, 2014

In the ongoing speculation over whether Doo Rim gets pregnant in Bride of the Century, which may be a deus ex machina way of solving a lot of impasses, I think a new cast picture below answers that question. I find all the twists and turns in BotC entertaining and mostly unexpected. I don’t over think this drama at all, … Continue reading →

New Cast Member Stills From the Set of Bride of the Century

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 31, 2014 by ockoalaMarch 31, 2014

The PD of Bride of the Century posted this new pictures above on his SNS account and it’s clearly from an upcoming scene. Kang Joo is sporting his recent episode hairstyle, but sadly he’s not wearing a black suit so we don’t have a funeral to look forward to. I would have no problem whatsoever if President Ma and/or Yi … Continue reading →
