Nice Guy Nostalgia Returns as Moon Chae Won Picks Song Joong Ki as Her Most Compatible Leading Man

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 19, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 19, 2015

With my Yoo Seung Ho safely out of the army and back in my virtual drama land embrace, that leaves only Song Joong Ki left that I’m waiting to return triumphant from his military service stint. He’s still got four more months left so I haven’t been dialing up my anticipation too much yet but he was back in the … Continue reading →

Beautiful Moon Chae Won and Song Joong Ki from Nice Guy for Kwave Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 6, 2013 by ockoalaFebruary 6, 2013

The second half of 2012 saw two onscreen pairings that really piqued my interest and upped my anticipation of great chemistry to come. First came Moon Chae Won and Song Joong Ki in Nice Guy (The Innocent Man), then came Moon Geun Young and Park Shi Hoo in Cheongdamdong Alice. All four are actors I love to varying degrees, and … 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 →

A Countdown and Poll of the Best and Worst K-drama OTPs of 2012

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2012

I was wondering if I should do this post next month but I know I’ll get too busy with year end work crunch plus the holiday prep not to mention this year I’m traveling again back to Asia the last two weeks of December. It’s better to start now and I’m sure this will be fun for everyone. I always … Continue reading →

Final Set of Lighthearted BTS Stills from Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 20, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 20, 2012

So cute! So so cute! How can a random stabbing scene shoved into an otherwise brilliantly scripted drama not totally ruin the flow, and then once we see the BTS pictures, actually make me appreciate it more? With Nice Guy over and done with, I’m actually quite mellow about it ending and don’t have that rabid feeling of loss and … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Wrap Party Pictures as the Cast Celebrates Happy Ending and High Ratings

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2012

When I watched the final episode of Nice Guy yesterday I thought the ending was clear as to what happened. How it came about was awkwardly presented but what happened was not disputable. Then came those who felt the ending was a dream sequence, but today the production confirmed that sequence was meant to be taken literally. Song Joong Ki … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 20 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 15, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 21, 2012

I felt like episode 19 of Nice Guy was intended as a prelude to the ending so I didn’t want to judge it on it on its standalone merits. Its slow burn felt like Lee Kyung Hee was getting ready to do something incredible to behold for her final salvo. Death, more amnesia, swirling camera slo-mo shots of reunion and … Continue reading →

Final Batch of Spoiler Stills for Episode 20 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 14, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2012

Getting addicted to a drama feels rather like losing track of time. I look back and we’re almost at Winter, when last I checked it was late Summer when Nice Guy started airing. Yes, real life in general has been meaningful but the beats pass much too quickly when one has got a drama on the brain. I’m actually ready … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 19 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 14, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2012

The drama gods love toying with me. When I was recapping the brilliant The King 2 Hearts, I had to fly to NYC the day the final episode aired. But I still delivered a recap (not sure how, brain fuzzy). This time I’m flying to DC for work during tomorrow’s final episode of Nice Guy. Can I still find time … Continue reading →

Fans Snap More Spoiler Pictures of Nice Guy as Moon Chae Won Celebrates Her Birthday on Set

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 13, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2012

When Nice Guy started the cast and crew celebrated Song Joong Ki‘s birthday. That was two months ago. Now that Nice Guy is ending, its time for leading lady Moon Chae Won to blow out the candles on her own birthday cake. The cake given to her from her fanclub had an adorable Eun Gi fondant figure on top and … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Episode 19 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 13, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 13, 2012

We’re T-minus 1 day from episode 19 of Nice Guy, and mark my words this penultimate episode won’t reveal how this drama will end. It’ll probably end with some hair-pulling tension-filled moment leaving a collection scream of satisfied frustration from NG fans the world over. This drama has indeed been an experience where every unexpected twist and turn has left … Continue reading →

Spoilers from the Long Preview for Episode 19 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2012

Whether we like it or not, whether we’re ready or not, Nice Guy is ending this week. Are you ready? I’m ready, with tissues and medication by my side. Whatever happens in the end, I know it won’t be a surprise or a twist ending for the sake of yanking the rug out from under us. At this point everyone … Continue reading →

Fans Snap Picture Spoilers of Nice Guy Cast and Crew Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 11, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 11, 2012

I was mostly certain that the unconfirmed spoilers for Nice Guy that I posted yesterday were likely not true. It would be a nice enough and have symmetry with the overall narrative construct laid down by Lee Kyung Hee, but ultimately I have this feeling the drama is headed in another direction. Call it my pessimistic side rearing its cautious … Continue reading →
