Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast! Sarangees! We’re BACK with episode 5 of CLOY, and OMG, Se-ri’s fallen hard for her North Korean man. We’re also falling hard too. That swoony campfire scene by the train?!? ::SWOON:: We pick up where Jeong-hyeok finds Se-ri in the marketplace with the scented candle, and then they turn the corner to find Seo Dan waiting on his doorstep. OMO OMO! Jeong-hyeok stumbles through, explaining who Se-ri is, but Seo Dan does not care AT ALL. He drives Dan back to Pyongyang and gets roped into dinner with her crazy mom and uncle. Then he makes a pit stop at his parents' house and stays the night. Meanwhile, Se-ri is back home waiting for him, and she’s drinking HEAVILY with beer cans lined up like the 38th parallel. Lord.  Jeong-hyeok hatches a new plan to get Se-ri home, which means taking the train to Pyongyang to get her passport. The train breaks down, and they're stuck for 16 hours with nothing to do but sit with all those confusing feelings. And of course, since this is a K-drama, baby scammer Seung-joon is on that same train. Once they finally reach Pyongyang, Se-ri's brother tracks him down, and that's the exact moment Seung-joon spots Se-ri and drags her into an elevator. Enter one very PROTECTIVE Jeong-hyeok, and a cliffhanger for the ages.  Our deep dive this week is on the ever-so-handsome Hyun Bin!  Strap in, Sarangees. It's bananas.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast! Hello Sarangees! We’re back chasing the swooniest drama ever! This week, episode 4 of CLOY gets crazy with hijinks when Se-ri realizes that she may be stuck in North Korea for longer! Picking up right where we left off, Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok get caught kissing by the coast guard, only for her ride home to sail off without her. Furious and desperate, Se-ri tries to paraglide back to South Korea, which leads to one of the show's sweetest (or cheesiest) moments yet. And don't worry, we'll discuss! Back in the village, Se-ri wins over the ajummas. She and Jeong-hyeok keep getting closer over clam bulgogi and a very confusing finger-heart, forcing Jeong-hyeok to finally admit to Company Five that he already has a REAL fiancée, Seo Dan, who's making her way to the village to reunite with him. Meanwhile, Se-ri's brothers back in Seoul continue plotting as we learn about her birth secret, and Seung-joon keeps acclimating to his new identity in North Korea. The episode ends with a swoony marketplace reunion and a flashback revealing that Jeong-hyeok and Se-ri's history goes back way further than either of them realized! For this week's segment, we’re doing a deep dive into our amazing female lead, Son Ye-jin!  Announcements: We’re BACK with Unnies React!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Sarangees! Unnies React is BACK with The Scandal, the sexy sageuk starring Son Ye-jin, Ji Chang-wook, and Nana. Loosely based on the French novel Dangerous Liaisons by Laclos, this adaptation is set in Joseon Korea, where women were bound to strict Confucian values. Noblewoman Lady Cho challenges playboy Cho Won to a dangerous game: seduce the virtuous widow Ahn Hui-yeon. If he wins, Lady Cho will sleep with him and if he loses, he has to seduce her concubine, So-ok. It's nothing like the dramas we've chased in the past, so we're excited to dig into something different! Announcements: We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast! Sarangees! It’s time for episode 3 of Crash Landing on You, and we are LOVING all the swoony moments our dear Captain Ri is serving up! We love them so much, we had to create our SWOON TRACKER! SIGH! This episode gives us a real look at everyday life in North Korea as Se-ri gets closer to Jeong-hyeok and her Company Five dwarves/ducklings or dwarflings!  She's revealed to the whole village as Jeong-hyeok's fiancée, which sends the ajummas into a full jealous tizzy. We also meet our second female lead, Seo Dan — who turns out to be Jeong-hyeok's ACTUAL fiancée — and watch Seung-joon touch down in Pyongyang. Meanwhile, Jeong-hyeok keeps digging into the spiky "trucks of doom" (aka the Decepticons), and we meet Man-bok, the army wiretapper Lunatic Lt. is forcing into doing his dirty work. By the end, Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok finally make it to the boat that could get her home — but a coast guard check nearly blows the whole thing, leading to a tropey ending that had us squealing! For this week's segment, we’re dropping facts about North Korea! What world are we living in?!  Announcements: We’re BACK with Unnies React!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.  Announcements: We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign! Our goal is to hit 10k subscribers on YouTube.

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! Announcements: We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

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 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.
