2013 Drama Reviews: A Year of Unexpected Dramas Both Real and Reel

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 17, 2013 by ockoalaDecember 18, 2013

I can’t say 2013 has been a great year for me on the personal front, and that sentiment extends to the drama offerings I’ve sampled this year. On the upside is a general feeling of acceptance and I don’t mean that in a depressed and resigned way. I rather came away from the year happy with the ups and relieved … Continue reading →

Thoughts on the Ending of Missing You

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2013

Missing You ended today after a 21-episode run that saw domestic ratings averaging about 10 but plenty of fodder for discussion. Starring three high profile Hallyu actors in Yoochun, Yoon Eun Hye, and Yoo Seung Ho in the K-drama staple melodrama genre, the ratings never attained its anticipated highs despite a valiant effort on the part of the cast to … Continue reading →

Gorgeous Unreleased Pictures of Yoo Seung Ho and Yoon Eun Hye in Missing You

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 15, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 15, 2013

Way to give me a treat with one hand and slap me in the face with the other, MBC. On the eve of the finale of Missing You, where now revealed to be a crazed serial killer second male lead Kang Hyung Joon clearly will not and should not ever get the girl in the drama, MBC released some heretofore … Continue reading →

Viewer Poll: What Do You Think About Missing You?

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 9, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 9, 2013

Isn’t that a lovely Wintery shot of leads Yoon Eun Hye and Yoochun in the latest episode of Missing You? Taken out of context, they look like a happy couple out on a date together. Except in the context of the drama, they are running from law enforcement because she is a suspect in a series of murders. Does it … Continue reading →

Catching Up with Missing You as of Episode 17

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 8, 2013 by ockoalaJanuary 8, 2013

MBC is a really odd-duck of a channel. It has had the biggest ratings hits in the last few years not based on quality but more on inexplicable forces colliding such as The Moon Embraces the Sun. Conversely it also produces the crappiest turd like Time Slip Dr. Jin and May Queen. This network is all over the place and I … Continue reading →

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 →

Video Preview for Episode 13 of Missing You

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 18, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 18, 2012

I’m stuttering here I can’t even get the words out without wanting to HulkSmash my keyboard. The writer for Missing You needs to take her meds again and maybe go to Jeju for a looooong sabbatical and stay away from drama writing. With her drama alternating between interesting conflicts that she can’t seem to develop with any competence, sheer whatthefuckery … Continue reading →

The Happy Leads Share Thoughts About Missing You at Media Day

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 17, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 17, 2012

The three leads of Missing You attending a media day event on Monday to drum up more interest in their drama, which has a slight lead over its competition in The Great Seer and Jeon Woo Chi. There is no reason why MY shouldn’t be in double digits when going up against the sheer incompetence and terribleness of the two … Continue reading →

Missing You Episode 12 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 13, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 13, 2012

I’m saddened there are those who believe differences in opinion is best left unexpressed at all. With that said, it gratifies me to hear confirmation that there are plenty of folks who enjoy the exercise in constructive debate within an atmosphere spanning the gamut of differing perceptions. Up until now I’ve enjoyed parts of Missing You enough to warrant the … Continue reading →

Missing You Episode 11 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 12, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 12, 2012

Okay, that’s just a really gorgeous shot of Hyung Joon so I had to lead with it, especially since I couldn’t find much in this episode to keep my interest. I’m finding myself emotionally and mentally checking out of Missing You. Nothing really happens in this drama. It’s just a series of extremely improbable bad things continuously happening to good … Continue reading →

New Stills and Video Preview for Episode 11 of Missing You

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 11, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 11, 2012

Awww, poor Jung Woo, why so depressed dude? Oh right, you got tasered by your number one ahjumma fan who turns out to be a homicidal rapist killer. One thing that just really stands out about MY is that the emotions can be justified but the events that create the emotions continue to feel so ridiculously extreme. It could happen, … Continue reading →

Missing You Episode 10 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 6, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 6, 2012

Episode 10 of Missing You finally pushed the characters forward in tangible ways other than Jung Woo wallows in guilt and Soo Yeon quivers with unresolved fright. Since the characters transitioned to their adult selves, this was the first episode I loved everything about Jung Woo. If I want to keep watching MY (which I do), then there is no … Continue reading →

Missing You Episode 9 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 5, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 6, 2012

At this point, Lee Soo Yeon is the only main character I like wholeheartedly in Missing You. I love her ability to survive, even if she has chosen not to confront her past but to etch out a new future and she’ll eventually have to revisit her untreated scars. I applaud her desire to take out her anger at Jung … Continue reading →
