Crash Landing on You Episode 2 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast09 Sep 202601:18:18

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

We're back with episode 2 of Crash Landing on You, and like our heroine Se-ri, we are FULLY IN North Korea now. Who knew it could be this cute and homey?! It's so charming we have to keep reminding ourselves: this is fiction, and we are talking about North Korea. 🫠🫠🫠

After Jeong-hyeok pulls Se-ri to safety, he has no choice but to hide her in his home. She meets the members of Company 5, and together they plot her way back to South Korea. We get our first real look at daily life in North Korea, meeting the village wives as they navigate blackouts and surprise inspections. Meanwhile, Jeong-hyeok heads to Pyongyang to investigate the suspicious car accident that killed the smugglers...and we finally find out who his family is. Back in the village, the unit gets word that the Lunatic Lt. is running a surprise inspection of Jeong-hyeok's house, so he tears back home to protect Se-ri. She's discovered hiding in a kimchi cellar, and just as the Lunatic Lt. raises his gun to her head, Jeong-hyeok makes a shocking announcement that stuns Se-ri and the villagers!

For this week's segment, we're breaking down fun facts about the drama! ❤️

Crash Landing on You Episode 1 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast02 Sep 202601:35:50

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

Today's the day, Sarangees! It's time for our sixth drama chase: Crash Landing on You! 🌪️🪂💥❤️ We're fully ready to paraglide into North Korea with our heroine Se-ri so she can find her Jeong-hyeok!

First up, we get into why we chose CLOY and why it took us SO long to rewatch it.

Then we meet Yoon Se-ri, chaebol CEO of Se-ri's Choice, and step into her world. Her father, chairman of Queens Group (same name, different family from Queen of Tears!), names her his successor, much to the chagrin of her incompetent brothers and cold mother.

But that doesn't hold Se-ri back. She's ready to soar and conquer anything in her way. So she goes paragliding, gets swept up in a freak tornado, and crash-lands on the North Korean side of the DMZ.

Enter Ri Jeong-hyeok, a stoic North Korean army captain, who immediately accuses her of being a spy. Se-ri manages to escape, leaves Jeong-hyeok stranded on a landmine, and tries to RUN back to South Korea.

Along the way, we meet Jeong-hyeok's army unit, the Company Five, who are all on a mission to hunt her down. Then there's our villain, Lunatic Lieutenant Cho Cheol-gang, who ends up killing like 5 people, which is INSANE. And we get a quick glimpse of our second male lead, Gu Seung-jun.

Finally, Se-ri stumbles into a village she assumes is in South Korea. But one look at the villagers and the North Korean propaganda posters plastered everywhere, and she realizes... she's really not in Seoul anymore.

Episode 1 is a fantastic set-up with GREAT world-building. To get y'all up to speed, we have a special segment doing a quick and dirty overview of South and North Korean history, so we're all on the same page. Plus, a Sarangees Hotline from @dda523.

Hold onto your parachutes! Let's get into it!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Hello Sarangees! We’re saying our goodbyes to our FIFTH drama chase The Glory! 

This drama was truly a masterpiece of storytelling and had us emotionally invested from the beginning. Although there were intense (and very difficult) moments, we're so glad we got to join Dong-eun on her revenge journey and experience catharsis with her. We hand out our End of Drama Awards 🏆 and then predict epilogues for our main characters.

The Glory Episode 16 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Rek Lee | Korean Drama Podcast12 Aug 202601:46:17

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

SARANGEES! We made it. It's the FINAL episode of The Glory, and honestly? One of the best finales we've ever watched. Our friend Rek Lee is back on the pod to help us break down this episode and the series as a whole.

The episode opens with Yeo-jeong confessing  to Dong-eun that he knew about her schemes the ENTIRE time, but  instead of turning her off, it makes her realize how much he likes her. Dong-eun then approaches Hye-jeong with a proposition: get revenge on Jae-joon by swapping out his eye drops and BLINDING him. It’s pretty brilliant. Yeon-jin shows up to the crime scene at Siesta and gets arrested. The white truck of doom appears and crashes into Jae-joon. Yeon-jin’s mom gets arrested. Do-young shows up to Yeon-jin’s prison just to deliver her divorce papers. With her revenge complete, Dong-eun ties up loose ends, including LEAVING Yeo-jeong behind at the beach, and visits Yeon-jin in prison one last time. There, she goads her, and we learn the truth behind who really killed Myeong-oh. With her revenge complete, Dong-eun decides to end her life on the same rooftop as So-hee, but Yeo-jeong’s mom stops her, begging her to help her son. Six months pass, and Dong-eun comes back to Yeo-jeong, where they share a kiss and decide to follow through on Yeo-jeong’s revenge plan against the crazy killer, and they recruit Hyun-nam to help. We end with Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong getting ready to fully execute their revenge plan. 

Then it's our final thoughts: the total body count, what we loved and didn't love about the ending, and our picks for the most epic revenge plan of the series. We'll be back next week with The Glory After Party where we hand out our End of Drama Awards.

Honestly? Super sad to say goodbye to this fantastic drama…

We also have another Sarangees Hotline with Sha'Kayla @thugz_bunny28!!

The Glory Episode 15 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ LouLou Gonzalez | Korean Drama Podcast05 Aug 202601:30:30

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

It's time to chase Episode 15 of The Glory, and joining us is writer, actress, and comedian LouLou Gonzales. LouLou shares how vertical dramas pulled her into the world of Asian shows and why The Glory has her hooked.

Then we dive into the recap, and buckle up, because this episode hits a fever pitch. The bullies are falling like dominoes, and the payoffs (and satisfaction)  just keep coming.

Hyun-nam finally slaps Yeon-jin. Do-young gives Yeon-jin one last chance to save their marriage: apologize to So-hee's family. She refuses. He walks. Sa-ra leaks the video of Yeon-jin bullying So-hee. Yeon-jin loses her job, and Ye-sol tells her she's no longer proud of her. At Myeong-oh's funeral, the bullies completely unravel. Hye-jeong taunts Sa-ra with a sex tape, and Sa-ra stabs her in the throat with a pen. Then Dong-eun pulls off her biggest move yet. Yeon-jin's mother hands the nametag over to Dong-eun, and Yeon-jin walks in just in time to witness the betrayal. And finally, Dong-eun discovers Yeo-jeong has been So-hee's mom's legal guardian this whole time.

Strap in, Sarangees. It's BANANAS!

The Glory Episode 14 | Chasing K-Dramas with Naomi Ko | Korean Drama Podcast29 Jul 202601:31:14

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

Welcome back, Sarangees! We are SO excited about Episode 14 of The Glory, because we're joined by the incredible Naomi Ko, an award-winning filmmaker, writer, comedian, and co-host of the Asians in Baseball podcast. Naomi grew up in Minnesota, and K-dramas were her connection to her heritage.  She gets into her all-time favorite dramas and sitcoms with us. We also dig into what "prestige" K-drama even means these days, and how Netflix and the big streamers are reshaping the local K-drama industry.

Then, we recap. And y'all…this one is STACKED.

Yeon-jin and the Detective Ajusshi spiral into full panic mode the second they clock that Myeong-oh's body has been found. Meanwhile, after that devastating apartment fire, Dong-eun FINALLY gets her mother locked away in a psych ward. Yeon-jin, ever the manipulator, works Jae-joon AGAIN, convincing him he's the only one left who can save her and Ye-sol (eyeroll). Jae-joon then turns around and blackmails Do-young into being Yeon-jin's alibi for the night of Myeong-oh's murder. And Yeon-jin's mom? She orchestrates an "accidental" hit-and-run with her mudang/shaman and the detective,  killing Hyun-nam's husband in the process.

We close on a shaman ritual, where Yeon-jin watches her mudang get possessed by So-hee's spirit,  and in a flashback, we FINALLY learn how and why Yeon-jin killed her.

Be sure to stick around for the Sarangees Hotline at the end of the episode with a call-in from @hneycheerioos! 

It's wild. It's crazy. It's The Glory. Let's get into it.

The Glory Episode 13 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast22 Jul 202601:31:20

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

Sarangees! We're three episodes from the finale, and Episode 13 might be the biggest one yet. It builds and builds, and ends with an actual fire.

We pick up in the aftermath of Dong-eun's public takedown of Sa-ra and Yeon-jin, and the fallout comes fast. Yeon-jin stays defiant and lies straight to Do-young's lawyers, while Sa-ra, all fury and no strategy, screams her way into a jail cell.

Hye-jeong finally plays the secret Myeong-oh recording for Jae-joon, and his response, weirdly, is a marriage proposal. Yeon-jin's mom, still being tailed by Hyun-nam's husband, panics and runs to her shaman for help. Yeo-jeong makes his next move, and it's a big one: he applies for a job at the prison holding his father's murderer.

The walls keep closing in on Yeon-jin. A spicy confrontation with Hye-jeong bleeds into an even worse one with the police officer, who has quietly decided to blackmail her, and casually reveals that Myeong-oh's body has NOT actually been buried.

And then, the grand finale. Dong-eun squares off with her psycho mom, and her mom responds by torching the apartment.

This episode runs long because we included a special “The Glory” Sarangees Hotline segment, where we play your voicemails and read your emails. Thank you to @persianascaribenas, @goodlordasiaford, Anon, Tia, and Rasheedah for sharing! 

Strap in, Sarangees. It's bananas!

Hello Sarangees! We're back with episode 13 of The Glory, and OMG, it's getting SOOOO GOOOD. Yeon-jin continues to spiral as she discovers that Dr. Yeo-jeong is the guy working with Dong-eun. Her mom is freaking out over terrifying texts from Hyun-nam's husband. Mr. Bob turns out to be a real big creep, and gets beaten to a pulp by Jae-joon. Jae-joon, then, gets beaten to a pulp by Do-young, who is absolutely enraged (and very sexy) over the fact that Jae-joon showed up at Ye-sol's school acting like he's her father. Do-young FINALLY blows up at Yeon-jin, and it's GREAT.

Dong-eun's mom betrays her AGAIN, leading to one of the most emotional moments of the episode. Dong-eun, while crying her eyes out, gets approached by a crazy-looking Jae-joon, and Yeo-jeong comes to save the day. She doesn't cry for long, though, because the next day, she serves up the SWEETEST revenge on Sa-ra and Yeon-jin. This episode is NUTS, y'all.

Also, we deep dive into Kim Hieora, who plays our bully Sa-ra. Be sure to listen to the end where we have another edition of the Sarangee Hotline. Thank you to @yarrow_s_r for calling in! 💜

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

Sarangees! Things are HEATING UP with Episode 11 of The Glory, and it did NOT disappoint. We open with the aftermath of Myeong-oh's murder, and see how Yeon-jin covered her tracks. 

Then Do-young tells Dong-eun he's not willing to leave Yeon-jin even after learning about all she’s done. Meanwhile, Yeon-jin is SPIRALING after finding out Do-young was emotionally cheating on her. Sun-a leaves for America and  Hyun-nam is brutally beaten by her husband. It's a HEAVY one. 

Jae-joon and Hye-jeong come across evidence tied to Myeong-oh's murder, and Yeon-jin's mom and her detective friend are starting to worry their misdeeds are catching up with them. The walls are CLOSING IN. The episode ends with Dong-eun confronting Yeo-jeong about why he didn't tell her that he knew about Myeong-oh. 

Plus, we have a Sarangees Hotline submission from Katie P. (@katepioch), where she shares her thoughts on Do-young, and we deep-dive into our flight-attendant bully, Hye-jeong, played by Cha Joo-young.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

Hello Sarangees!! We're BACK with another action-packed, jaw-dropping episode of The Glory, and Episode 10 does NOT hold back. We open with Do-young visiting Siesta and seeing the dressing room where Yeon-jin and Jae-joon met for their trysts. Yikes. Then Yeon-jin dials up her attacks on Dong-eun. She threatens Hyun-nam into working for her AND tracks down Dong-eun's mother to convince her to find Dong-eun and ruin her life. Dong-eun is STUNNED as her mother shows up and wreaks havoc at her school, reminding her that blood is thicker than water. The audacity!! 

Meanwhile, Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong lure Hye-jeong into bringing Yeon-jin to Yeo-jeong's clinic, where Hye-jeong lets it slip that Dong-eun's been playing go with Do-young. Then we find out Yeo-jeong was visited by the police, because he was the LAST person who spoke to Myeong-oh before he disappeared. And finally... Yeon-jin comes in for treatment at Yeo-jeong's clinic, and while she's under anesthesia, we FINALLY see what happened between her and Myeong-oh the night he was attacked!!

Get ready, y'all. It's nuts. 

We also do a deep dive into our Hyun-nam, played by the incredible Yeom Hye-ran.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

Sarangees, we're BACK with Episode 9 of The Glory and this one does NOT let up. So much happens, we don't even know where to start. Myeong-oh's "disappearance"? Officially a criminal case now. Yeon-jin and Do-young face off in Dong-eun's insane war room, and Dong-eun actually gives Yeon-jin another chance (we'll see how that goes). Meanwhile the bullies start turning on Yeon-jin over So-hee's mysterious death, which, yes, we are HERE for. And then there's Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong playing house and Dong-eun catching feelings in real time. We are not ready. Yeon-jin keeps digging into Dong-eun's past, and the episode ends on the most insane cliffhanger yet: her walking right up to Hyun-nam. INSANE. We screamed. Plus, we're deep diving into bully Son Myeong-oh, played by Kim Gun-woo!

Unnies React: My Royal Nemesis Ep 13 & 14 | Chasing K-Dramas | Korean Drama Podcast22 Jun 202600:59:59

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees! The time has come to bid farewell to our favorite couple ever, Seo-ri and Se-gye (tear!). These final two episodes did NOT let us down… the writers gave us the happy ending we needed!

In episode 13, we FINALLY find out how Seo-ri and Dan-shim's souls switched, Se-gye and Telemundo continue their showdown, and we sit through the longest death montage ever for Seo-ri's halmoni. Then we end on the craziest cliffhanger: Se-gye gets stabbed TWICE, all because his grandfather had to go and kidnap Telemundo's son! It's nuts!

Then in episode 14, we're back in the Joseon era, where Seo-ri returns to save Se-gye by saving the grand prince. She gets stuck in limbo as a "gift" from the gods, while Se-gye loses his mind looking for her. But don't worry!  Seo-ri snaps out of her dreamlike state and comes back to reunite with the love of her life, Se-gye!

Dan-shim and the grand prince get their own happy ending too, running off to China in the Joseon era (we don't fully understand how they end up meeting again, but we'll go with it!).

We give our final drama rankings. :)

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

It's time for episode 8 of The Glory, Sarangees! This was the final episode of Part 1 of the series, and it did NOT let up! So many things happened, and just when you thought things couldn't get crazier, they do. First, we open with Hye-jeong begging Dong-eun to forgive her — she's willing to go to Dong-eun's side as long as Dong-eun doesn't tattle on her to her future mother-in-law. Dong-eun and Jae-joon have an explosive confrontation where we learn more about how he bullied Dong-eun back in the day. Do-young decides to investigate on his own, meeting with Hye-jeong privately with a very special gift. Jae-joon wants Yeon-jin to leave Do-young for him, and Do-young confronts a very defiant Yeon-jin about her dark past. Yeon-jin investigates Dong-eun, leading her to break into Dong-eun's war room — and then Do-young walks in on her. It's NUTS, y'all!

For this week's segment, we deep dive into Jung Sung-il, who plays our dreamy Do-young.

Hold onto your hats!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Happy World Cup (and THE KNICKS WON), Sarangees! We're back with our reactions to episodes 11 and 12 of My Royal Nemesis, and y'all, we have to be honest…it was confusing. Chrissy was confused. Dulcé was confused. We share our theories on what we THINK happened with the Seo-ri/Dan-shim soul switch, so please let us know if we got anything wrong and drop your own theories below!

There were some major GIRL WHAT moments this week, like Seo-ri's "friend" drugging her and locking her up in the prop room, AND the way Seo-ri's family died?! We're also seriously worried for Se-gye as Telemundo goes absolutely BONKERS trying to destroy him. So many unanswered questions as we head into the FINAL two episodes...we are DYING to see how this all wraps up!

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast! 

Hello Sarangees! We're back with episode 7 of The Glory, and of course, IT DOESN'T DISAPPOINT! If the last episode was all about loading the gun, this one's all about putting your finger on the trigger. Yeo-jeong’s officially joined Dong-eun as her executioner, and we finally get his backstory…turns out he's got his own revenge mission against the man who killed his father.

Do-young's catching on to Yeon-jin and her crazy friends. The bullies are in full panic mode after Myeong-oh vanishes. And Jae-joon? He discovers Ye-sol is really his daughter, follows her around, and then absolutely loses it — choking out Yeon-jin in the process. But it gets WORSE. He shows up to the school's Daddy's Day event and confronts Do-young. Poor Do-young finds out and realizes Dong-eun is Ye-sol's teacher in the same episode. The guy cannot catch a break.

Then we're switching gears for our Marry, F***, or Kill: Male Villain Edition game, and we've got a special Sarangees Hotline call from Elena about the c-drama Pursuit of Jade.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees! We're back with our reactions to episodes 9 and 10 of My Royal Nemesis, and this series just keeps delivering the squeals, the tears, and the pure joy. Se-gye is STILL having those dreams about the Grand Prince and Dan-shim, which finally pushes Dan-shim/Seo-ri to reveal that yes, she really is the Kang Dan-shim he's been dreaming about. As Se-gye reels from the discovery, the couple makes it official… but Seo-ri is still holding back from opening up completely. Meanwhile, Telemundo gets officially caught by Grandfather, who ships him off to the US branch, except he's not going down without a fight. After tricking Seo-ri's grandmother into signing over her restaurant, he sets even more sinister plans in motion, which lands us right at our favorite trope of all time: the dreaded white truck of doom. We CANNOT wait to see what happens next!

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast! 

Happy Wednesday, Sarangees! Episode 6 of The Glory is here, and Myeong-oh is still MIA, leaving Dong-eun, Hyun-nam, Do-young, and the bullies all scrambling to track him down. But before he disappeared, Myeong-oh wasn’t lying low. He's robbing Jae-joon and blackmailing Do-young and Hye-jeong, wreaking havoc on everyone. 

Meanwhile, obstacles begin to emerge for Dong-eun. Her colleague Mr. Bob starts bullying her, a band of thugs begins tailing her and slams into her car, and the pressure pushes her to accuse Hyun-nam of spying. Then comes the gut punch: a panic attack at the auto body shop sends her reaching for Yeo-jeong. She finally opens up — her story, her scars, all of it — and he agrees to become her executioner.

And for our segment, we're switching things up with a game: Marry, F***, or Kill: Female Villain Edition. Hope y'all enjoy!

Unnies React: My Royal Nemesis Ep 7 & 8 | Chasing K-Dramas | Korean Drama Podcast01 Jun 202600:54:12

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Today we're reacting to episodes 7 and 8 of My Royal Nemesis, and Sarangees, this drama just keeps hitting in ALL the right ways! The writing, the pacing, the acting… it's all there, and it's blowing our minds. Se-gye remains the world's biggest romantic softie, and Seo-ri/Dan-shim finally decides to accept him! Meanwhile, the villains keep scheming with Telemundo to break off Se-gye's "engagement" to Moh Tae-hee, while Tae-hee plots to destroy Seo-ri and claim Se-gye for herself. We also dig into what happened between Dan-shim and the Grand Prince back in the Joseon era, which leads to the Grand Prince being falsely accused of assaulting Dan-shim and another court lady. Se-gye dreams the whole thing and confronts Dan-shim about who she really is. Strap in, y'all. This one is SO much fun!

The Glory Episode 5 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast27 May 202601:10:52

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Hello Sarangees! We’re back with episode 5 of The Glory, and it’s another banger! Dong-eun and Do-young hang out at the convenience store after their Go game. Yeon-jin is fully spiraling over Dong-eun becoming Ye-sol’s teacher. She tries everything to get rid of her, including paying her off, but of course, it doesn’t work on Dong-eun. Dong-eun moves in on the other bullies by blackmailing Sa-ra and stealing Hye-jeong’s phone. She also reconnects with Yeo-jeong and actually smiles for the very first time in the series! The episode takes a dark turn as we see Myeong-oh getting brutally attacked as he tries to blackmail his friends. We also take a deep dive into Yeo-jeong, played by Lee Do-hyun, a popular male lead in the K-drama world. Let’s get into it! Be sure to stick around for our first-ever Sarangees Hotline at the end of the episode!

Unnies React: My Royal Nemesis Ep 1 - 6 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast26 May 202601:10:06

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees, we are BACK with another Unnies React — and this time, we're diving into My Royal Nemesis! This drama had us in a chokehold from the start, so honestly, we HAD TO COVER IT! We are absolutely obsessed with our leads: the endlessly talented Lim Ji-yeon as Shin Seo-ri (seriously, is there anything this woman can't do?!) and the very, very attractive Heo Nam-jun as Cha Se-gye. This time-traveling fantasy is pure comedy gold, but don't be fooled — it will also have you squealing one second and tearing up the next. We share our thoughts and feelings on the series so far and break down all the most memorable moments from episodes 5 and 6!

The Glory Episode 4 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast20 May 202601:06:50

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

We're back with Episode 4 of The Glory, and oh, Sarangees, we are finally seeing just how meticulously Dong-eun has been cooking up her revenge. We pick up right where she crashes Yeon-jin's award ceremony, and Yeon-jin has the absolute audacity to slap her. The nerve! We also get a front-row seat to Jae-joon's nasty temper, plus we learn that Myeong-oh has been quietly keeping tabs on all his so-called friends. Then Dong-eun officially clocks in as Ye-sol's teacher, cue to another explosive showdown with Yeon-jin. And just when you think it can't get wilder, we learn about their homeroom teacher's brutal death and exactly who did him in. Plot twist! Dong-eun leads Myeong-oh straight to a morgue where their classmate So-hee lies waiting. And then, finally, we get to our favorite moment: Dong-eun sits down across from Do-young for a game of Go. Iconic.

This episode is packed with tangents (just the way y'all like it), and we're doing a deep dive into our best villain of all time: the one, the only, Yeon-jin, played by the incredible Lim Ji-yeon. Also, be sure to listen to the end for our first-ever Sarangees Hotline!

Unnies React: Perfect Crown Ep 11 & 12 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast18 May 202600:52:38

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

We're back with reactions to the Perfect Crown finale, AND WE HAVE THOUGHTS. These last episodes felt rushed and disjointed. The show tried to cram a season's worth of payoff into too little runway, and 12 episodes was simply not enough room for the character development this story deserved. OK, deep breaths, here we go…

Hui-joo and Aide Choi save I-an from the deadly fire, and Hui-joo finally starts suspecting PM-nim — meanwhile he's already plotting to transfer I-an's regency to the Queen while our boy is still unconscious. The Queen confesses that her father tried to kill I-an, and our prince wakes up ready to ABOLISH THE MONARCHY. What?! Then the PM has the AUDACITY to threaten the Queen (he'll frame the baby King as a criminal) but she records the whole thing (TROPE TRACKER!). Hui-joo exposes his dastardly plans at a royal meeting, which gives us a tearful confrontation between I-an and the PM. The country votes to abolish the monarchy, we time-jump 3 years, Hui-joo is back at Castle Group, I-an is learning to cook (??), and we close on a kiss cam at a Castle Group baseball game. Ok…

We had SO much fun reacting to Perfect Crown, even if the finale broke our hearts in the wrong way. We're thinking about doing it again for The Royal Nemesis — what do y'all think? Let us know in the comments!

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Sarangees! We're back with episode 3 of The Glory, and the revenge machine is officially going! We finally understand why Hyun-nam wants Dong-eun to murder her husband, and Dong-eun wastes no time enlisting her as her first ally. Hyun-nam starts tailing all of the bullies, gathering intel, and they uncover a major secret about little Ye-sol that changes everything. Yeo-jung and Dong-eun are reunited, and for the first time, she lets her walls down just a little. She also manages to lure Do-young into her Go academy, and that man has no idea what's coming for him.

Then Dong-eun starts using her revenge receipts! She confronts her old schoolteacher. She blackmails the chairman. She drops a bombshell on Myeong-oh about the death of their old classmate So-hee and watches him squirm. And then? She shows up at Yeon-jin's alumni award ceremony at their old high school gym and looks her dead in the eye. The audacity. The precision. Chef’s kiss. 

We also deep dive into the one and only Song Hye-kyo, the mega superstar bringing our Dong-eun to life. Let's get into it!

The Glory Episode 2 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast06 May 202601:09:16

 

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Sarangees! We're back with Episode 2 of The Glory, and it's proof that revenge doesn't need to be loud to be devastating.

While Dong-eun is quietly stalking, collecting secrets, and piecing together shredded documents, the bullies are out here living their best unbothered lives. Yeon-jin has the dream setup: rich husband, baby, the perfect job, and she's still terrorizing everyone around her. Jae-joon has a clothing store and a golf course, with Myeong-oh running around as his personal errand boy. Sa-ra is an artist by day and feeds a drug habit by night. And Hye-jeong? She's a flight attendant who's pining over Jae-joon while still letting friends bully her.

We learn more about Yeo-jeong, our male lead, who teaches Dong-eun the game of Go. She learns how to destroy an opponent's territory — slowly, silently, without mercy — which becomes her blueprint for revenge.

And just when you think the episode can't top itself, a random stranger catches Dong-eun gathering evidence and asks her to kill her husband.

We deep-dive into some fun facts about the drama and close out with our brand-new segment,  “Revenge Receipts”, where we keep tally of every new piece of evidence Dong-eun has collected or used against her bullies. The war room is open. Let's go!

The Glory Episode 1 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast29 Apr 202601:27:58

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised! 

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Dearest Sarangees, it's time for our fifth Drama Chase — The Glory — and we've officially entered our dark drama era. This is a gritty, somber drama packed with complex characters and rich storylines full of revenge and darkness.

In the first episode, we meet our morose protagonist, Moon Dong-eun, who is setting up a war room in a small apartment in Semyeong. We discover that when she was in high school, she was brutally burned by a gang of bullies led by Park Yeon-jin — and the adults in her life completely failed to protect her. She decides to fight back with a meticulously planned, decade-long revenge scheme aimed at ruining the lives of the bullies, her teacher, and her mother.

For our segment, we deep dive into the real-life incident that inspired the show and the very real issue of school bullying in Korea.

Buckle up, y’all! It’s about to get wild!

Sarangees! Chrissy is flying solo this week while Dulcé is out on the road — but the drama doesn't stop for anyone! We're reacting to episodes 5 AND 6 of Perfect Crown, and these two episodes did NOT hold back.

Prince I-an breaks off his arrangement with Hui-joo after discovering someone tampered with her car — and with the trauma of losing his mother in an accident, he's not taking any chances. Noble idiot behavior? Yes. Meanwhile, Prime Minister-nim shoots his shot and asks Hui-joo to marry him instead... and gets his heart absolutely shattered for it.

Then it's off to the Inner Court Banquet, where Hui-joo shows up in a white power suit, I-an makes a very public proposal that shocks literally everyone including the Queen, and our couple somehow ends up kissing on a yacht.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Dynamite Kiss Episode 13 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast25 Mar 202601:03:46

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees, we’ve made it to Episode 13 of Dynamite Kiss — and we truly cannot believe it. 

With only two episodes left, the drama goes full angst mode, and it feels like the writers are determined to make us feel frustrated. Da-rim is publicly accused of being a corporate spy, and Ji-hye manipulates her into taking the fall. Meanwhile, Ji-hyeok and Gyeong-min go into full investigation mode, racing to find evidence to clear Da-rim’s name. But in true K-drama fashion, Da-rim spirals into guilt, becomes a noble idiot, and breaks up with Ji-hyeok.

Elsewhere, Ha-yeong’s mom confronts Seon-woo once again, only to end up softening up to Jun. Da-rim and her mom flee to the countryside, where her uncle immediately tries to set her up with the local hottie. Ji-hyeok, of course, chases after her and promises to protect her. Armed with new evidence, he returns to Seoul and goes head-to-head with Ji-hye in a shareholder meeting showdown. We wrap it all up with this week’s DK Trope Tracker.

Dynamite Kiss Episode 11 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast11 Mar 202601:04:18

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

We’re back with Episode 11 of Dynamite Kiss, and we only have three episodes left!

Ji-hyeok and Da-rim officially enter their dating era after Da-rim saves him from the museum fire. Meanwhile, Seon-woo pulls the most unserious move possible…he decides to take back his confession to Da-rim and claims it was all just a prank?! WHAT?!

Ji-hyeok begins investigating the suspicious museum fire, while Da-rim and Ha-yeong unexpectedly bond over drinks… and get very drunk. 

At work, Ji-hye continues her sabotage campaign by transferring the MotherTF team to the Customer Service department. And as if this drama wasn’t already chaotic enough, the episode ends with the most ridiculous scandal yet: a chicken bone found in a Natural BeBe diaper, forcing Da-rim to save the day once again.

We wrap it all up with this week’s DK Trope Tracker.

Dynamite Kiss Episode 10 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast04 Mar 202601:03:57

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

It’s time for Episode 10 of Dynamite Kiss, and the over-the-top chaos just keeps escalating. After that very hot kiss, Da-rim starts questioning whether Ji-hyeok is actually being honest… does he really like her?! Meanwhile, Seon-woo tells Ha-yeong that he confessed to Da-rim, and Ha-yeong is excited that he’s about to get rejected. Ji-hye continues teaming up with trash-ass Tae-young to plot a takeover of Natural BeBe. Ji-hyeok’s mom ends up staying with Da-rim’s house, which somehow turns into a full-blown affection competition between Ji-hyeok and Seon-woo. And then, as if we didn’t have enough shenanigans, the episode delivers a completely unhinged, unbelievable fire at Ha-yeong’s museum during the Natural BeBe photo exhibition. Ji-hyeok gets trapped inside, and Da-rim becomes the hero.  We wrap it all up with this week’s DK Trope Tracker, because this drama refuses to miss a single one.

Dynamite Kiss Episode 9 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast25 Feb 202601:03:48

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Sarangees! We’re back with Episode 9 of Dynamite Kiss and y’all… THIS. IS. IT.  THIS is the episode where Ji-hyeok finally finds out the TRUTHHH. It needed to happen. 

But before he confronts Da-rim, he has to go through his engagement party with Ha-yeong, which is gloriously derailed when his mom fake-faints and single-handedly pauses the pending nuptials. She then decides to divorce his father for real and plans to move in with Da-rim’s mom once they’re discharged. When Ji-hyeok finally confronts Da-rim, he wastes no time. Feeling betrayed, he fires her on the spot and Da-rim begs for forgiveness. 

Then, Seon-woo confesses his feelings and tells her to “think on it.” The two men then face off in the most ridiculous showdown at a photo exhibition interview, because of course they do. Ji-hyeok accepts his feelings for Da-rim and makes his move with a VERY hot kiss that leaves her completely stunned. 

We also dive into the show’s addictive OST and close things out with the DK Trope Tracker!

Dynamite Kiss Episode 8 w/ Rek Lee (Rekstizzy) | Chasing K-Dramas | Korean Drama Podcast18 Feb 202601:25:16

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Hello Sarangees! We’re back with Episode 8 of Dynamite Kiss, and things again spiral in every direction. Before we jump into the chaos, we kick things off with some free-flowing banter with our very special guest, Rek Lee (Rekstizzy), including K-drama preferences, hot takes, and hilarious cultural observations.

From there, the drama hits hard as Ji-hyuk’s forced engagement to poor Ha-yeong changes everything and forces some very messy decisions. We break down Ji-hyuk’s noble idiot behavior, complicated love triangles, family pressure, and why this episode feels like a major turning point.

Things only escalate on the island, where forced proximity, unresolved feelings, and an unforgettable spider POV scene push tensions to the edge. And when kids start spilling secrets, all hell breaks loose.

We wrap by calling out who’s winning, who’s losing, our beloved DK Trope Tracker, and why Episode 8 might be one of the wildest yet. Timestamps are in the show notes if you want to jump straight to the recap — but if you’re here for the banter, the unnies got you!

Dynamite Kiss Episode 7 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast11 Feb 202600:57:40

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Hello, Sarangees! We’re back with another Dynamite Kiss episode that takes a hard left from fun and flirty to fully unhinged. We kick things off with side chats about doctor visits, Bridgerton, Can This Love Be Translated?, and Jang Ok Jung before diving straight into the drama.

The episode opens at the hospital with Ji-hyuk taking care of Da-rim, while Seon-woo pays a visit to Da-rim’s mom. We’re also introduced to Ha-yeong’s brother, Tae-young — our newest trash-ass character — and get the messy backstory of his past with Ji-hye.

Next, it’s off to Natural Bebe’s tree-planting celebration… which quickly spirals when the party turns into a full-on search mission after Da-rim and Ji-hyuk go missing (while searching for a missing boy) in a rainy forest. Alone together, they share a charged moment where Ji-hyuk admits he’s been “swayed” by Da-rim — only to be interrupted by a very shocked Seon-woo.

From there, Ji-hyuk spirals hard: he heads home sick and dejected, suffers a wild nightmare, and makes a painful decision to push Da-rim away — one that could change his life forever. We wrap things up with a lightning round of the Dynamite Kiss Trope Tracker.

It’s chaotic, dramatic, and completely unhinged — just how we like it.

Dynamite Kiss Episode 6 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast04 Feb 202601:12:59

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARANGEES! 🎉 We’re officially ONE YEAR OLD on February 5, and what better way to celebrate than breaking down Episode 6 of Dynamite Kiss together? We kick things off with some reflections on turning one, then dive straight into an episode that sends everyone into a full spiral. Ji-hyuk witnesses that kiss between Seon-woo and Ha-yeong and immediately starts questioning everything…including whether he should finally tell Da-rim the “truth.” Meanwhile, Ji-hyuk and Da-rim’s moms have an ultra-awkward run-in at the hospital (K-drama fate strikes again). Back at work, the MotherTF team defeats the marketing team to launch their tree-planting campaign, which naturally calls for a celebratory team dinner — where Da-rim almost makes a move on Ji-hyuk. Elsewhere, Ha-yeong invites Seon-woo to celebrate her first birthday together, Da-rim collapses at work, and Ji-hyuk enters full hero mode, rushing her to the hospital and making a truly fateful decision.

For our segment, we deep-dive into Woo Da-vi, who plays our beloved chaebol queen Ha-yeong, and of course, we wrap things up with the Dynamite Kiss Trope Tracker!

Dynamite Kiss Episode 5 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast28 Jan 202601:14:16

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

We’re back with Episode 5 of Dynamite Kiss, and the stakes are even higher as the full love square converges at Natural Bebe. After Ji-hyuk heroically saves Da-rim from the loan sharks, he’s left spiraling over his growing feelings for the very “married” Da-rim, while Seon-woo’s jealousy starts to bubble over. Back at Natural Bebe, Ji-hyuk rescues his team from the disastrous livestream, and the MotherTF crew launches a new project: planting trees at the company park. Ji-hyuk ropes Ha-yeong into finding a photographer, and naturally, she recruits Seon-woo. He joins without hesitation, eager to get closer to Da-rim and keep a close eye on Ji-hyuk. The team heads off on a retreat, chaos ensues, and the episode ends with a surprise kiss and Ji-hyuk once again swooping in to save Da-rim. We also deep-dive into Kim Mu-jun, who plays our bestie, Seon-woo.

Dynamite Kiss Episode 4 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast21 Jan 202601:04:38

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Sarangees! Episode 4 of Dynamite Kiss might be the tropiest episode yet, with every scene PACKED with ridiculously fun moments as Ji-hyuk flip-flops between wanting Da-rim to stay… and wanting her gone. After Ji-hyuk saves Da-rim from her “drowning” incident at the pool, both he and Seon-woo step in to rescue her from some truly unhinged loan sharks. Despite saving her (and nearly kissing her in a very random closet), Ji-hyuk still insists she resign — until a surprisingly tender bonding moment over their shared love for their moms finally cracks him. Meanwhile, the MotherTF team is forced to pull together a chaotic commerce livestream, all thanks to the scheming J-hye, delivering peak workplace shenanigans including A KISS BETWEEN DA-RIM AND JI-HYUK! The episode ends on full chaos mode: Da-rim is kidnapped, a wild car chase ensues, and Ji-hyuk offers to “buy” Da-rim with his black card. Naturally. We also deep-dive into Jang Ki-yong, the actor behind our ultimate softboy chaebol.

Dynamite Kiss Episode 3 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast14 Jan 202601:02:53

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Sarangees! Your unnies are back with Episode 3 of Dynamite Kiss, and this is the episode where everything shifts. Ji-hyuk, our sweet, soft-boy chaebol (with EQ!), suddenly flips the switch into bad-boy chaebol, and honestly? We’re not sure how we feel about it! Da-rim officially lands the job at Natural BeBe, and her long-awaited reunion with Ji-hyuk does not disappoint. He’s shocked, furious, and—let’s be real—secretly thrilled to see her. Cue peak workplace drama as Ji-hyuk launches a full-on mission to get Da-rim fired. But our Rimmie is not going down without a fight. Determined to keep her job, she throws herself into the baby bottle testing project with everything she’s got. Meanwhile, Sun-woo discovers that Da-rim lied about being married… to him, just as Ha-yeong starts crushing on him. The episode crescendos with Da-rim presenting her team’s baby bottle report, only for Ji-hyuk to dramatically toss it into the pool. Naturally, Da-rim jumps in after it, and yes, he jumps in to save her. Because of course he does. We also share fun facts about the writers and director, and wrap things up with our DK Trope Tracker. Let the chaos continue!
