    Crash Landing on You Episode 1 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast

    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.

    The Glory Episode 16 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Rek Lee | Korean Drama Podcast

    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 Podcast

    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.

    The Glory Episode 14 | Chasing K-Dramas with Naomi Ko | Korean Drama Podcast

    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.

    The Glory Episode 13 | Chasing K-Dramas w/ Dulcé Sloan & Chrissy Choi | Korean Drama Podcast

    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.
