When a drama I really loved finishes, I usually need a gradually weaning off of it. Such as rewatching choice scenes, and inevitably posting some more about it until I’m ready to put it to bed. So if you didn’t like Big, ignore me as usual unless you want to listen to me talk to myself (which might be amusing … Continue reading →
I realized in saying that I liked the ending of Big (where Kyung Joon finds his way back to Da Ran as he promised and she believed he would), I didn’t make clear that the execution of the final scene was not my personal preference for how it should have been shown. I wanted desperately for Shin Won Ho‘s version of … Continue reading →
I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around the huge chasm between those who love Big and those who hate it. Not that like or dislike could be validated either way, but perhaps one huge reason for why that exists is that Big as a visual story creates such a huge disconnect and from a production stand point certain things … Continue reading →

Recently there has been lots of BTS stills released, and many of them show the actors hard at work studying the script of goofing off. The vibe is decidedly animated and happy, … Continue reading →
Two years, 2144 posts,and over 20 million views later, the Playground celebrates its second anniversary today by doing nothing whatsoever. In the US, a second anniversary is marked by cotton, so I’m going to whip out my comfy t-shirt and wrap my laptop in it for the night. I have to confess there are times I want to stop writing … Continue reading →
So before Big started I was all geared to love the doctor-teacher OTP played by Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung. I figured once Gong Yoo’s doctor swapped souls with his fiancee Gil Da Ran’s high school student Kang Kyung Joon played by Shin Won Ho, it would just be funny hijinks and the romance of the jokey variety until … Continue reading →
