Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 16 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 27, 2013 by ockoalaJuly 18, 2013

Most weekend dramas are of the longish variety so when I first heard Cheongdamdong Alice would be the typical weekday drama length of 16-episodes, I worried there wasn’t enough time for the entire story to be told properly. Turns out I was right but for the wrong reasons, there was enough time, the writers just wasted most of it on … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 15 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 26, 2013 by ockoalaMarch 26, 2014

The penultimate episode of Cheongdamdong Alice laid bare all its limitations (and then some) while confirming for me that I’ve wasted my time with this drama that doesn’t actually have a meaningful story to tell. It’s not entertaining anymore, and I’m not getting any insightful takeaways at the end of the day? Then what is the point? I’m finishing for … Continue reading →

Preview for Episode 15 of Cheongdamdong Alice

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 25, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2013

Cheongdamdong Alice was the first weekend drama I recapped since I started blogging nearly 3 years ago. That’s quite a feat since I managed to refrain from recapping Secret Garden despite being completely rabidly obsessed with it for the first 10 episodes (the second half drove me insane with hatred), which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 14 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2013

The last 5 minutes of episode 14 of Cheongdamdong Alice was the best plot development to happen in this drama for the past 6 episodes. It was also what should have happened like 5 episodes ago, which continues to grate that so much time was wasted on pointless filler tension. The entire last 5 episodes was all about keeping the … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 13 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2013

I’ve officially given up on Cheongdamdong Alice, though I’ll probably recap to the end since it’s almost done. Episode 13 confirmed for me that this drama has completely lost its marbles and I’m going to have to approach it like its some delusional fantasy rom-com otherwise I’ll go crazy. At this point I’m shipping Se Kyung with Tommy. I’m not joking … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 13 and 14 of Cheongdamdong Alice

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2013

It’s strange to watch Cheongdamdong Alice deflate slowly like a balloon in terms of tension and excitement. I’m still enjoying the watch somewhat but it feels like the majority of drama fandom has more or less set this one aside in search of crackier sustenance. It hurts that SBS maintains radio silence on this drama during the week, only grudgingly … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 12 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 13, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 14, 2013

This episode was slightly better in pacing and execution than the previous episode 11 but the fundamental flaw in the narrative direction leaves this drama still coming across as missing the forest for the trees. I like Black Se Kyung, I like her way better than Candy mopey Se Kyung, but right now her actions are premised on a very … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 11 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 13, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 13, 2013

I started recapping episode 11 of Cheongdamdong Alice when 10 minutes in I almost couldn’t go on. How could I keep recapping when this drama hardly makes any sense to me anymore. It’s not completely nonsensical but there are so many loopy and extreme elements, not to mention coincidences and near misses it stretches my credulity to the point I can’t … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Episode 11 of Cheongdamdong Alice

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2013

Dur, I’m kinda not liking how the story is progressing in Cheongdamdong Alice based on the previews. Of course once the episode airs it might make sense, but to be honest I felt like episodes 9 and 10 continued to lack the zip of the earlier episodes. It’s probably due to Se Kyung spending a good chunk of both episodes … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 10 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 6, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 6, 2013

Everything was going along swimmingly in this episode of Cheongdamdong Alice, until the very end of the episode. HOMG did I want to smack Seung Jo upside the head. What the hell does he think he’s doing? Or am I too weary of this type of grand public displays that are counterproductive that I fail to enjoy the “in your … Continue reading →

Cheongdamdong Alice Episode 9 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 5, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 5, 2013

Whatta fantastic episode of Cheongdamdong Alice! Episode 9 revived my flagging interest for this drama not a minute too soon, and really helped smooth over the decidedly lackluster episode 8. The narrative was back to speeding ahead at full steam with a combination of humor and heart. I totally understand Se Kyung’s considerations, issues, and hesitation now, and boy is … Continue reading →

Video Preview for Episode 9 of Cheongdamdong Alice

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 4, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 4, 2013

I was thrilled with the Cheongdamdong Alice preemption last weekend because I was traveling and couldn’t even watch the episodes, much less recap it. Who would’ve known that episode 8 would be the weak link in an otherwise strong slew of episodes, plus end on a note that felt uncertain and rather precipitous. Thus the two week wait between episodes … Continue reading →

Park Kwang Hyun is a Sexy Scene Stealer in Cheongdamdong Alice

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 25, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 25, 2012

I blame it on his drama choices rather than me being blind for not noticing the smexy hotness that is Park Kwang Hyun earlier. I’ve actually only seen him in a bit part in Swallow the Sun as well as the few episodes of Glowing She that I watched (where he was actually paired with So Yi Hyun) but neither … Continue reading →
