Playful Kiss Youtube Special Edition
Kylee Evancho
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.
Ha Ni is driving Seung Jo to work, and he asks whether she is intending to get into an accident on her first day of driving. She reassures her husband that she is an excellent driver, having only been docked 5 points during the exam. Was her examiner Mr. Magoo?
Seung Jo drives them to a less populated area to practice her driving, and where her victims are less likely other human beings, more cows and pigs and the like. On their drive to the countryside, Ha Ni folds down their convertible top and luxuriates in the breezey air of their impromptu day trip. She keeps feeding Seung Jo oranges, and is totally not listening to his driving tips.
Her head scarf blows away, and they stop to retrieve it. The scarf is dangling on a tree branch that is just out of their reach. Seung Jo first asks Ha Ni to bend down so that he can use her back as a step. She balks a bit, but then actually gets down on her hands and knees for Seung Jo. He has no choice but to smile fondly at her, and helps her up rather than steps on her.
Ha Ni starts driving in the country lane and is doing fine. Her husband bursts her bubble by reminding her that she is still only driving straight ahead. She gets excited and swerves around to demonstrate her control over the steering wheel, and accidentally offs some roadside fauna. Ha Ni suddenly brakes really hard, insisting she saw something up front.
Seung Jo calls out to her: hey ahjumma, can I get directions? In a fit of pique, she pretends that there is a puppy in the road, and causes Seung Jo to swerve the car into the ditch. They wait by the car waiting for a tow truck, and Ha Ni crows that the almighty genius Baek Seung Jo got his car stuck in a ditch.
Ha Ni and Seung Jo have transcended that barrier. The true-to-life beats of their relationship means that we worry how they will make a marriage work once the cameras are gone and the mundane sets in. School, work, responsibilities, duties, and obligations, can their marriage withstand all of that? The YT episodes confirm for us that they are going to be just fine.
I may be asking too much. Next week will be only one epi left. I would like to request that please do writing for BTS (I am not sure I can say recap or not). I would like to read your thoughts on BST too. I wish PK will never end, as we all are enjoying with such a cute drama.
What a delightful episode peppered with funny glitches of husband trying to teach wife how to drive! Their playful reactions toward each other really tickles. Come to think of it, they do their flirting and playing around when cruising.
This web ep is so well put together. Considering the10 minute time constraint, they did a great job. The storyline and dialogue flowed through seamlessly. Add to it JS & HN chemistry, makes ep 6 a winner. Too bad, they could have done the same quality editing with PK. Though drastically cut to 16 episodes, PK had the potential to be a better drama, regretably they ignored that opportunity.
Even without the boating, these YT episodes have been totally full of win. What we basically want is Playful Kiss the sitcom! Now that the drama is over, we can just sit back and laugh with them. Heh. Just 22 minutes of their time, once a week. Yes?
and note to our beloved kim hyun joong, a promise is a promise, im having faith in you that you will keep your word. pls remind your PD that you gave your word to us, your avid viewers and hope that he will help you to fulfill your promise.
Most people are worried about the promised steamy scenes still yet to be seen with just one teenie weenie webisode next week .Some said it was that scene when Hani fell on the hospital stairs and landed on top of SJ. Others said it may show up as BTS . Another said ,Its BOB . They made it BEHIND OUR BACK . LOL .
as always, thanks ockoala! your recaps are totally awesome! ?
this episode is just pure fun.. just looking at the screencaps make me squeal like a fangirl (was not able to finish watching the webisode last night.. my internet at home picked up the worst time to konk out on me.. :(( ) the interaction between HN and SJ is just LOVELY!
why, we even had to learn positioning for stroke (one side of the body paralyzed) and spinal cord injury (depends on the level of injury but definitely with some form of paralysis) patients. so boating in cramped spaces should never be a problem with these two. hee.
Ha, this place has been PK-Landia for awhile now. If I knew how to make pretty custom headers I would have done so already and plastered PK all over the place. Better now then never! Koalas tend to work very slowly, we like to sleep a lot.
Omo! did you get the spoiler about the boating in ep 7??
Actually, seeing the preview for ep 7 makes me kinda sure we will get some boating..
From the previous episodes the kisses were never shown in the preview at the end of the previous episodes. That's why when we see the kisses we were quite surprised and pleased because we dont know it will happen.
But this time they show the kiss in the preview for episode 7..
So I was quite positive that they will show more than just a kiss in the real episode. =D
well, I dont want to get my hopes too high though.
To think my morning jogs use to be how to solve a problem at work. Come to think of it, during my yoga class I was wishing that time would go faster because I wanted to be at home to catch webisode 5 w/subs.
talking about the hug , I was watching the anime yesterday and I noticed that OHN hugs BSJ just like the way Kotoko Hugs Naoki , even the way OHN hugged SJ in the balcony you talked about katwoman , it was just the same as in the anime but near their rooms
galz , I need help ( though dunno if I have the right to ask it here ) , I want a link where I can find the soft english subs of the webisodes starting from N 4 , where I usually seek for subs ( I mean the website from where I usually get the soft subs of Kdrama ) they stopped till episode N 3 , so if anyone can help me I will be very thankfull ?
This is a KHJ fangirl post to spazz about his awesome performance of the theme song for the Asian Games opening. Despite a language handicap among 5 singers, 4 of which are from China, Taiwan and HongKong, he held his own very well and articulated the Mandarin lyrics with ease. Good job and he has done S. Korea proud !
It is based on the Japanese manga Itazura Na Kiss written by Tada Kaoru. The Korean series is the third television adaptation of the manga following the Taiwanese It Started with a Kiss in 2005, and its sequel They Kiss Again in 2007.[4] Though Playful Kiss received low ratings in South Korea in the five to seven percent range, it was sold to 12 countries in Asia for approximately US$3,400,000 and developed a strong cult following, having been streamed 70 million times on Viki and earning US$400,000 in ad revenue through online streaming.[5][6][7] Due to its international popularity, a short special edition was aired on YouTube after the series finale.[8]
A ditsy and unpopular Oh Ha-Ni (Jung So-Min) is in love with her opposite, Baek Seung-Jo (Kim Hyun-Joong) who is a smart and popular boy and never accepts her feelings. Tension rises when Oh Ha-Ni and her dad have to live in the same home as Baek Seung-Jo and his parents due to unexpected reasons
To show Ha-ni and Seung-jo's married life, Playful Kiss: Special Edition was released on YouTube beginning November 2, 2010.[11][12][13] The seven 10-minute webisodes were subtitled in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish, among others. The online series was popular, with the first episode initially receiving over 1,000,000 hits in the first two days, and over 19,000,000 hits (and counting) for the entire 7 episodes.[8] Kim Hyun-joong was later interviewed by Anna Coren on CNN's TalkAsia in which he discussed the significance of YouTube in spreading awareness about Korean culture.[14][15]
On October 19, 2012, it was announced that the drama would be edited down into a film version. This theatrical edition was released exclusively in Japan on a limited run to selected theaters in Tokyo and Osaka in December 2012. It was screened with the original Korean dialogue with subtitles in Japanese.[16] Afterwards, a DVD of the theatrical edition was also released in Japan.[17]
