Hola, PKissers! Don’t think that I’m a fickle koala, moving on and forgetting all about our darling Ha Ni and Seung Jo, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G, and making babies. While chatting about Playful Kiss with a drama friend who recently started marathoning it, I reminisced internally about how wonderful the early episodes were – funny, delightful, and refreshing to see in … Continue reading →
Sixteen television episodes, 7 Youtube episodes, and 2 behind-the-scenes specials later, I stand here today finding it exceedingly difficult to send off Playful Kiss (Mischievous Kiss). What started as a quaint, mellow, and adorable little drama took on a life of its own, becoming the sum greater than its parts both in the legacy it leaves behind in the K-drama … Continue reading →
For the past two and a half months, a fervent group of viewers of a certain little drama called Playful Kiss have followed it through the highs (the pre-release fanfare), the lows (the post-release ratings disappointment), and the moments big and small. The same viewers even experienced the novel phenomenon of following this drama from the small screen (TV) to … Continue reading →
The C-netizens got their hands on the shooting script for episode 7 of the YT edition of Playful Kiss. Those of you who don’t want to be spoiled, do not proceed any further. I won’t even express a single opinion until after the jump so as to not spoil this episode. Please take this with the usual grain of salt. … Continue reading →
This was a pleasant surprise. I found a ton of BTS pictures from the filming of episode 6 Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition, otherwise known as Dude, What’s With That Car? None of them are crisp and clear, but they are a lovely treat regardless.
Continue reading →Episode 6 of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition is pretty much impossible to recap. I say it with a straight face, because this was a Korean version of an I Love Lucy episode, replete with an ending that has Lucy and Desi (Ha Ni and Seung Jo) conceding that they enjoyed the mess of a day they had together.
Continue reading →Thank god that evil pinchy-faced wench from the last episode was shipped back to the US and far far away from our Ha Ni and Seung Jo. I didn’t intend to have my claws out for her in my last recap, since she’s such an insignificant annoyance, but she appeared to have activated the ultra-bitch-smackdown button on my keyboard. Blame my keyboard … Continue reading →
Have you ever eaten bon bons? Each episode of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special is like a bite-sized bon bon, you pop it in your mouth and let the flavor and texture explode in a shower of sensory bliss. But then it’s gone as quickly as it arrived. But I treat PK-the-drama as my main course, so I’m totally fine … Continue reading →
Playful Kiss continues to be a fandom that may have slowed down considerably since the drama ended, but never fails to keep chugging along. Some more behind-the-scenes BTS pictures of Kim Hyun Joong from the last days of shooting the Youtube episodes have emerged.
Continue reading →I’ve noticed an AKP trend that appears to go like this: a post about Playful Kiss, followed by a post about some other drama or spazzy-subject, followed by another post about PK, and so on and so forth. I guess what I’ve realized is that as much as I DO have varied interests, PK and I clearly have a symbiotic … Continue reading →
The cast and crew finished shooting the Youtube Special Edition of Playful Kiss yesterday, and today Kim Hyun Joong posted a message on his Korean website.
Continue reading →Sometimes I wonder if I’m sick of Playful Kiss yet? Hhhhm, the answer is clearly no. But my spirits are flagging, and only a good boat scene or three can revive me again. Until that steam boat arrives at the harbor, have some new PK goodies. The picture above is a newly released official still from the first Youtube episode. … Continue reading →
Episode 3 of the Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition saw the return of even more familiar faces. I noticed that episode 1 was all Ha Ni and Seung Jo, episode 2 brought back Eun Jo, Min Ah, and Joo Ri, and now episode 3 adds Mom and Dad to the fray. Thankfully, having a few more faces around doesn’t detract … Continue reading →
