Panda and Hedgehog Episode 16 Recap (Final)

 

  It's our last episode. Step-dad shows his hand, changes are afoot, and Seung Ji finally learns to call Cherry Blossom mom. Well, mama. I'm going to miss this drama, in all its delightful sweetness. Like Seung Ji's signature macarons, it's cute and sweet and fun. It may not be filling like a main course, but it's a nice treat and leaves me with a pleasant taste in my mouth and a smile on my lips. 

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 15 Recap

  We're almost done, and I have to admit, I'm getting sad anticipating having to let these characters go. I've decided they should make a mini-drama focused around Won Yi. They could use some of the footage from Panda and Hedgehog, and we could see her relationship with Host Club develop. Plus, we'd get to see how things are a bit further down the line for everyone else. 

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 14 Recap

  Only 2 more episodes left after this one! So much cuteness is still waiting in the wings, and I want to see it take center stage. Plus, we have the actual drama parts to deal with after this episode, and the plot resolution. Will they make it?

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 13 Recap

  I'm going to be honest. This episode doesn't move things along very much. It's basically setting up for the final (or only real) conflicts to unwind. But that's fine, because our bromance moves to the next level. 

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 12 Recap

  Panda freaks out to see the two guys sparring. "I thought everything was going okay and Won Il was getting over me. But, seriously, how can they act like that?"

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 11 Recap

  Okay, after slacking and procrastinating, the recap is finally here! Sorry to be so slow, but at least this time, it's complete. (I accidentally posted part of my draft earlier. To anyone who read it, I'm sorry.)

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 10 Recap

  So much awkward and cute in one episode! Gah! Things are really starting to get moving, and we have less angst than I anticipated. (Always a plus in my book.) But we do get enough to make things interesting.

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 9 Recap

 

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 8 Recap

  Omo, omo, omo! (This is suddenly becoming my favorite Korean word. Haha.) The bromance is in full swing, and the guys are bonding left and right. This episode gives us decent back story and more pieces to the puzzle, but is light on the side characters. Also, Panda proves how infuriating she can be. 
  But the guys! They're just so sweet together! I just love them both. Can't they come live with me? And make me macarons all the time? I wouldn't mind a cake every now and then, either. 

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 7 Recap

  Panda is finally forced to face the rivalry for her affections. It's about time someone clued her in! But then she comes up with the most unusual challenge for the guys to prove their love for her, and I think it's going to make things veeery interesting. Bromance is in the air, even if romance isn't quite there yet.

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 6 Recap

  Our OTP finds a reason to start dating, mysteries arise about Won Il (though nothing too big), and Eun Bi starts to show her nasty side. Also, Seung Ji tries on some pink headbands.

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 5 Recap

  This episode felt a bit slow to me. But mostly, I think it's because it's a lot of build up. Things are starting to happen, and new plot developments are. . . developing. 

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 4 Recap

  Poor Won Il, he just doesn't get girls. And Panda is pretty clueless in relationships as well. 

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 3 Recap

  This episode gives us some background on our characters. Both guys make some moves toward wooing Panda, and the plot thickens. Also, there are plenty of delicious desserts showcased in this episode. Also, Won Il bites his lip. A lot. (I feel like such a creepy noona right now.)

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 2 Recap

  Awww. Another episode brimming with cuteness. So many great moments!
  I feel like this episode really set things up. It had a lot of important scenes, and gave a good deal of background, so I hope in the next episodes, the plot will really start moving. I don't feel that these episodes were particularly slow, since the first two are typically introductory, but I can't wait to get to a bit more action, and more opportunities for Panda and Seung Ji to interact.

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 1 Recap

  After watching most of two episodes, I've decided I like this drama. Okay, it didn't take me that long to like it, or even to decide to recap it, but I feel more justified after what I've seen. It's very cute, as the name implies, and it's well done. I don't expect the plot to be too complicated or deep, but that's a big part of its appeal. It's just a straightforward, solid drama that I hope won't try to overreach its capabilities later on.

  We open on a flashback of a little boy intently drawing on the sidewalk. As the camera zooms out, we see that he is drawing cakes. (Adorable.) He looks up when he hears singing to see a little girl in a panda hoodie looking in the window of a pastry shop. He goes to talk to her, but is interrupted when a man runs out of the shop.
