Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love Episode 6 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 23, 2013 by ockoalaApril 24, 2013

Holy cow bells was this an awesome episode of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love. I got shivers of the good kind from all angles – the budding romance and the intensifying political and power plays all around. There are no wasted characters or confusing motivations here and every little detail adds to the rich lustre of the narrative world … Continue reading →

Official MV for Second OST Song from Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love with New Scenes from the Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 23, 2013 by ockoalaApril 22, 2013

I’ve noticed that a bunch of Naughties (Nice Guy fans) are on the Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love ship with me. Welcome back everyone! I’m pretty sure all the Hearties (The King 2 Hearts fans) are over at the Gu Family Book ship enjoying Lee Seung Gi, and I’m sad that drama totally doesn’t work for me. But for … Continue reading →

Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love Episode 5 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 22, 2013 by ockoalaApril 22, 2013

As word of mouth spreads about Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love being unexpectedly solid and addicting, ratings in Korea continues to decline at a rate that is disheartening because it brings the specter of re-writes, or god forbid, shortening the drama’s run. It’s way too early to go there but it’s safe to say this drama isn’t likely to … Continue reading →

Preview for Episode 5 of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2013 by ockoalaApril 21, 2013

I can’t believe tomorrow is a new episode of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love! I had a killer busy week so suddenly finding myself facing Monday is both depressing for the work but exciting for more drama goodness. I’m not yet so rabid about JOJ that I was desperately craving the preview for episode 5, but it was odd … Continue reading →

Jae Hee Makes his Entrance in Episode 5 of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2013 by ockoalaApril 18, 2013

As much as I’m enthralled with the current universe of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love, I am seriously on pins and needles waiting for second male lead Jae Hee to show up. And based on the just released stills from SBS, Chi Soo orabeoni is showing up next week! I bet he’s going to up the pathos significantly and become a … Continue reading →

Complete Main Character Descriptions for Jang Ok Jung, Live In Love

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 17, 2013 by ockoalaApril 17, 2013

So my growing obsession with Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love is starting to gain steam and this might hit runaway train status faster than any drama in my watching-blogging history. I need to slow myself down before I get my heart broken in the off chance the show starts sucking. I do have a tiny bit of comfort knowing … Continue reading →

Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love Episode 4 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2013 by ockoalaApril 17, 2013

Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love owns my mind, heart, and soul. This is the trifecta of a drama hitting it out of the park, and as this drama’s ratings continue to dip in Korea, my love for it continues to increase with each exquisite and exceptional new episode. This keeps getting better and better, and right now Lee Soon … Continue reading →

Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love Episode 3 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 16, 2013 by ockoalaApril 20, 2013

Chingus, I think I have found my new k-drama crack. And considering it’s NOT the drama I thought would be my crack, I’m alternating between consternation and bewilderment. How did Gu Family Book, my most anticipated drama of this Spring season, end up being so meh? How did Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love, the drama that was on track … Continue reading →

Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love Episode 2 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 12, 2013 by ockoalaApril 12, 2013

With two episodes of Gu Family Book, it left me wanting to throw things at the screen by the end. Conversely with two episodes of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love, I wanted to give this drama a hug for doing the rare deed of actually exceeding all expectations and doing so in a refreshing way. It’s so well-made, not in … Continue reading →

Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love Episode 1 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 9, 2013 by ockoalaOctober 18, 2013

This one completely and utterly took me surprise. Gu Family Book was the drama I was looking forward to, while Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love was the one to mock if it turned out to be a disaster or merely tolerate if it was simply serviceable. I never once imagined it would be good. And not just good, episode … Continue reading →

SBS Releases Beautiful 8-minute Long Preview for Jang Ok Jung

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 2, 2013 by ockoalaApril 2, 2013

The upcoming sageuk Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love delivers its promotional material like one step forward, two steps back, then two steps forward, one step back. I can’t figure out if its going to be good, if I should be excited, if it’ll be a hot mess. All I know is that its decidedly buzzy for a variety of … Continue reading →

The Happy Colorful Cast of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love Attend Press Conference

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 1, 2013 by ockoalaApril 1, 2013

Korea has been in the throes of older woman-younger man drama pairings for years so I’m pretty inured to it all. Unless its totally incongruous to me, for the most part if the storyline and the chemistry sells it then I’m game. Kim Tae Hee is a heck of a lot older than her co-star Yoo Ah In in their upcoming … Continue reading →

Romantic OTP Intensity Shown in Jang Ok Jung Second Teaser

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

Not bad, not bad at all. I can’t tell the acting quality from this teaser, but I can feel the attraction and glimpse how pretty this drama will be to watch. Following a very boring first teaser (seriously, why bother?), Jang Ok Jung released a second teaser that finally shows some narrative action. Real life Jang Ok Jung was 6 … Continue reading →
