Chasing K-Dramas

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees! We’re back with Unnies React, and this time, we’re reacting to the hilarious and quirky Make Me Tingle! This drama is a breath of fresh air and it GOES there. We’re loving our female lead, the innocent and conservative Yeon-su, played by Nam Ji-hyun, as she learns about relationships and intimacy with her gruff boss, Dokgo Dal, played by Kim Jae-yeong. What a name! The first two episodes had us gasping for air as we saw these toys being waved around everywhere, including actually hitting Yeon-su’s grandpa in the face. We can’t wait to see how these leads fall in love!

Strap in, Sarangees. It’s bananas!

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

Sarangees! Your favorite unnies are back with Episode 9 of Crash Landing on You, and the tale of endless goodbyes continues. We learn that Se-ri was NOT shot by her kidnappers. In fact, she’s been stowed away in the attic at Jeong-hyeok’s family home!

Jeong-hyeok gets arrested by Lunatic Lt. and has the dwarflings spread rumors about who his appa is! Se-ri thinks Jeong-hyeok’s dad is Dan’s dad and is shocked to realize whose house she’s really in. Jeong-hyeok tears into his parents’ house in tears, demanding to see Se-ri, and asking if his dad killed her. Jeong-hyeok’s mom comes to the rescue and pulls Se-ri forward as the couple reunites, much to the disbelief of Jeong-hyeok’s dad. Our couple realizes that Jeong-hyeok's SONG SAVED SE-RI’s LIFE, and they make their final attempt to take her home.

Meanwhile, Dan gets super drunk learning about Jeong-hyeok’s actions, and Baby Scammer has to piggyback her home. The dwarflings and Jeong-hyeok escort Se-ri to the DMZ, and there we have the most tearful goodbye as Se-ri finally goes back to South Korea or DOES SHE?!

Strap in, Sarangees. It's bananas.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

Hello Sarangees! Today we're diving into Episode 8 of Crash Landing on You, and y'all, this one is an emotional ROLLERCOASTER. It's swoony, it's sad, it's hilarious, AND it ends on a cliffhanger that had us screaming at the screen.

Seo Dan confronts Jeong-hyeok with the article about Se-ri, and we finally learn why he's so set on protecting her. Baby Scammer tells Se-ri that if she really cares about Jeong-hyeok, she needs to disappear. Then he pulls a ring out of NOWHERE and proposes. WHAT?! Jeong-hyeok fights his way past the guards at Baby Scammer's villa to get to her. Se-ri breaks his heart (and her own) to protect him, but it's snowy and cold, and she just can't let him walk away. That hug in the snow? SQUEAL. Back in the village, Dan's mom feeds the dwarflings and gets Chi-soo drunk and he spills EVERYTHING... and then she forgets all of it. Se-ri trades her engagement ring for a whole pawnshop, including a Christmas gift for Jeong-hyeok. But before she can give it to him, she ends up in the back of a truck with a gun pointed at her. She calls Jeong-hyeok and tells him she loves him. Then a gunshot rings out. OMG!

For our segment, we're switching things up with a North Korea Survival Draft, where we pick the characters we'd want protecting us in NK.

Strap in, Sarangees. It's bananas.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees! We’re reacting to the final episodes of The Scandal — and spoiler alert: there is NO happy ending. This story promised us lust, seduction, and betrayal… and instead delivered a full-blown Greek tragedy, where every one of our main characters pays the price for their bad behavior.

Cho Won finally confronts Lady Cho for toying with his feelings all these years, when he was desperately in love with her the ENTIRE time. Then Hui-yeon confronts Cho Won when she realizes his heart belonged to Lady Cho all along, and he’s forced to admit she was just a game to him (ugh). Lady Cho is left with anger and heartbreak once she realizes she’s lost Cho Won forever. And Cho Won, finally understanding the weight of everything he’s done, takes his own life, leaving both women longing for him.

Meanwhile, our concubine So-ok keeps her affair with In-ho going… and ends up pregnant with his baby! All of Seoul society knows, and everyone just looks the other way.

We were so excited for this sexy sageuk based on the casting alone, and thank god for this superb cast, because their acting was the one saving grace.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

Welcome back Sarangees! It’s time to chase episode 7 of Crash Landing on You, and y’all, this episode had EVERYTHING. Car chases, blood transfusions, a thunderstorm, and the kiss we've ALL been waiting for.

Jeong-hyeok passes out from his gunshot wound, so Se-ri takes the wheel. Then Se-ri has to choose between catching her flight home and giving Jeong-hyeok the blood he needs to survive. The plane leaves without her and when Jeong-hyeok wakes up, he's FURIOUS that she stayed. But one thunderstorm later, he finds her crying in the rain, and FINALLY, the episode 7 kiss. SWOON ALERT!

Lunatic Lt. puts two and two together and storms the hospital to arrest Jeong-hyeok. Just in time, someone with a LOT more power walks in. Meanwhile, Seo Dan and her mom go apartment hunting in the village, and Dan also spends some quality car time with Baby Scammer. Interesting…

Back in Seoul, the Yoon family officially declares Se-ri dead, and the shareholders pick a new leader. But things get serious fast. Jeong-hyeok admits to Dan that he likes Se-ri, and Dan finds out exactly who Se-ri is. And Baby Scammer tells Se-ri the one thing she can't ignore: Jeong-hyeok could die because of her.

For our segment, we deep dive into actor Kim Jung-hyun who plays our Baby Scammer.

Strap in, Sarangees. It's bananas.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Hello Sarangees! We're back with episodes 5 and 6 of The Scandal, and the series still confuses us. SOOO many letters are being sent, and we can’t keep track of what’s happening! The saving grace is the entire cast's acting prowess. Ji Chang Wook especially shines in these episodes, continuing to seduce the widow. Is he playing a game or is he actually starting to fall for her? We were also impressed with So-ok, even though we found the scenes with her and Cho Won random and unnecessary. We’re curious to see how this all wraps up in the final two episodes!

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

Hello Sarangees! We’re BACK with Episode 6 of Crash Landing on You, and y’all, this episode was absolutely insane!! It was heartwarming, heartbreaking, AND action-packed. It felt so climactic that we thought we'd skipped ahead to episode 14 or 15!

It's Jeong-hyeok's turn to get jealous and super protective, and he does NOT hold back when Baby Scammer pulls Se-ri into the elevator. Seo Dan confronts the couple right outside their hotel rooms, then drags Jeong-hyeok to a family dinner that night, and by the end of dinner, there's a wedding date. Yikes!

Baby Scammer and Se-ri have coffee, and he decides to sell Se-ri out to her brother to save his own neck. But he also gets a sweet moment with Seo Dan on the hotel roof as they're officially introduced. Interesting…

Then comes the first snow. Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok share a sweet, aching moment in a Pyongyang bar, and we are NOT okay.

Se-ri says goodbye to the village ajummas, who are heartbroken to see her go. Then she has one last picnic with her dwarflings, where Chi-soo reads her a poem and she sings for them. OMG, grab the tissues.

The next morning, Jeong-hyeok sends Se-ri off to the airport with only Kwang-beom, and a tearful Se-ri says goodbye to him. But on the road, Lunatic Lt. shows up with his decepticon trucks, and Jeong-hyeok comes to the rescue on a MOTORCYCLE in the craziest action sequence ever. Shots are fired.

OMG. WHAT IS HAPPENING.

For our segment, we do a deep dive into Seo Ji-hye who plays our Seo Dan!

Strap in, Sarangees. It's bananas.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees! We’re reacting to episodes 3 and 4 of The Scandal, and we have some thoughts. This show is visually stunning, and we’re seeing some brilliant acting from our leads, Son Ye-jin and Ji Chang-wook, but we find the story and the direction are confusing and uneven at times. We’ll see how the rest of the episodes pan out! Please share your thoughts below!

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!

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!

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?!

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! ❤️

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.

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!!

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!

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.
