Chasing K-Dramas

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!
