Written and Video Preview for Episode 11 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 14, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 14, 2012

It’s weird how addicting Nice Guy has turned out to be. Despite my pre-release excitement over watching a bona fide melodrama, part of me worried that this thing would sink like a ton of bricks by being painfully plodding and trying to pull tricks out of a hat. Now that NG is halfway done with its run, the drama has … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 10 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 11, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 11, 2012

Episode 10 of Nice Guy marks the midway point of this drama, and feels rather lightweight as a standalone episode in a drama full of tension-filled and taut moments. Nevertheless, this episode was critical in setting up multiple arcs that will surely be delved into in the second half, but overall I’m still left unsure of where it’s all headed. … Continue reading →

Written and Video Preview for Episode 10 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 10, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 10, 2012

When watching the last scene of episode 9 of Nice Guy, I’m once again struck by Lee Kyung Hee‘s preparation for this drama. Details from previous scenes reemerge in new ways to move the story forward, and the PD knows just how much flashback and when to use it judiciously to heighten the mood without making us feel like morons. … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 9 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 10, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 10, 2012

Oh wow. That was interesting. Not sure if I can go about making heads or tails of what episode 9 of Nice Guy did to the drama narrative as a whole, but it definitely took a great leap forward. Whether that leap is in the right direction only time can tell, but I wouldn’t write off what happened as crazy … Continue reading →

Latest Spoilers and Pictures for the Upcoming Episodes of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 9, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 9, 2012

Looking back at my original impression of Nice Guy, I was fascinated by Maru, intrigued by Jae Hee, and not sure quite what to make of Eun Gi. Flash forward eight episodes and my impressions of the three leads have completely changed. I’m beyond obsessed with Eun Gi, find Maru somewhat interesting but if he fell off a cliff I … Continue reading →

Spoilers from the Leaked Long Previews for Episodes 9 and 10 of Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 8, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 8, 2012

Hold me, I’m scared. Monday started off with a bang when extended video previews for Nice Guy episodes 9 and 10 were leaked. Trust me when I say I watched it with my jaw open. Aside from the major character twist we’ve been told about since the plot synopsis was released months ago, with Eun Gi losing her memory, everything … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 9 Written Preview and Major Picture Spoilers

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 5, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 5, 2012

When I said I was yet to become obsessed about Nice Guy earlier this week, when only six episodes had aired, I am now officially obsessed with this drama after watching episodes 7 and 8. Those two episodes were killer awesome in taking me deeper into the characters and more importantly, making the characters dig deeper into themselves and make … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 8 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 4, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2012

Booyah! This episode was simply da bomb. I just love the post topping screen shot of Maru and Eun Gi in episode 8 of Nice Guy. The way they sit next to each other, not arm-touching-arm but with a distance that is closer than just friends. The way they both look out towards the ocean, the way his bruised and … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 7 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 3, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 3, 2012

Nice Guy is becoming quite a nerve wracking watching experience. I wonder if the drama is just going to keep building and building the nervous tension and draining emotional developments and wait until the very end before giving us some release. This works well when I marathon tense melodramas, but watching it week-to-week is already giving me serious heartburn. I … Continue reading →

Latest Stills from Episode 7 of Nice Guy Show Song Joong Ki in Distress

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 3, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2012

I remain fascinated by Nice Guy, though that fascination hasn’t yet morphed into an obsession. But at least the interest is there, whereas with Arang and the Magistrate where I’m just watching for my beloved Lee Jun Ki and not much else (don’t get me started on the “performance” cutie pie with the hideous wig Yoo Seung Ho is delivering … Continue reading →

Lee Sang Yeob is Winning Hearts from Cheongdamdong to Nice Guy

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2012

It’s a testament to just how awesome an actor Song Joong Ki is that his Kang Maru in Nice Guy is so emotionally loathsome and yet I still haven’t call it quits with the drama. Yes, the drama is excellently directed and the story has flashes of brilliance, but having two of the three leads be complete and utter human … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 7 Written and Video Previews

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 28, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 28, 2012

Reading the written preview for episode 7 of Nice Guy leaves me salivating in anticipation. Just when I worried Eun Gi would be relegated to being lied to, the tables turn and she learns more truths than perhaps she would like to know. Part of me can tell that she is enjoying the thrumming magic of falling for Maru, despite … Continue reading →

Nice Guy Episode 6 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 27, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 27, 2012

Six episodes is enough to render a verdict on a drama’s potential, no? If a twenty-episode or less drama can’t get its act together by the sixth episode, not much can buoy a shaky ship for the remainder of its run. Similarly if an excellently launched drama remains firmly in control by the sixth episode, I’d say chances are good … Continue reading →
