2012 Year End Drama Reviews: Something Fun for Everyone

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 19, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2012

Another year, another year end review. For me the year end review contextualizes the dramas watched on three levels – its own merits, how it stacks up against its compatriots, and how the year measures up against previous years. If I wanted to add an additional intangible factor, then it would be how happy or frustrating it was for me … Continue reading →

Saying Farewell and Disembarking the May Queen Ride

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 7, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 7, 2012

I’m out folks! Strangely I’m not upset or anything, probably because I knew it was inevitable plus I got plenty of happy beforehand so it was all worth it. This weekend’s May Queen finally drove the wedge between Chang Hee and Hae Joo with his discovery of his father’s role in her birth father’s death (and not even that his … Continue reading →

May Queen Ups the Stakes with a Rain Kiss and Long Overdue Boating

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 30, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 30, 2012

So the preview yesterday for May Queen episode 14 led me to expect a steamy rain kiss for my preferred drama OTP, Hae Joo and her oppa boyfriend of 15 years Chang Hee, who sadly has a homicidal daddy that killed Hae Joo’s adopted father and watched Hae Joo’s birth father get offed as well. See, I totally know my … Continue reading →

May Queen Promises a Rain Kiss to Make Koala Exceedingly Happy

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 29, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 17, 2014

Watching May Queen harkens back to the days of yore when K-dramas were chock full of amazing coincidences, outlandish plot contrivances, and painfully overwrought emotional entanglements. Despite knowing I am watching something truly dumb, I’m enjoying the delicious nuggets of angst between the three leads Chang Hee, Hae Joo, and Kang San. I read an interview with Jae Hee where … Continue reading →

Koala is Team Chang Hee in the Inexplicably Addicting May Queen

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 25, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 24, 2012

When I first heard about May Queen, it sounded like a potential Giant. It’s not, it’s stupid beyond belief. It could be stupid and sprawling like East of Eden, but it isn’t either. The whole poor girl destined to reach ship building greatness feels pretty small-scale so far, and the amount of beyond ridiculous machinations of the bad guys to … Continue reading →

May Queen with Kim Jae Won, Han Ji Hye and Jae Hee Release Teaser and Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 6, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 6, 2012

It’s been years since a weekend K-drama hooked me, and maybe May Queen will buck that trend. It’s not that I don’t like family dramas with a good dose of makjang, I’m just always running around on weekends and new episodes sorta slip through the cracks until I dang forget about it. Going up against the piano-playing makjang Five Fingers … Continue reading →

May Queen Releases First Look at Kim Yoo Jung and the Stellar Child Cast

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 8, 2012 by ockoalaJuly 8, 2012

For the first time ever, I’m more interested in a K-drama for its child cast than adult one. Which is a good thing, because the upcoming 32-episode MBC weekend drama May Queen appears to have a expansive child cast that will likely take up multiple episodes worth of setting the stage for the adult story. I’ve been a fan of Kim … Continue reading →
