Chasing K-Dramas

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

The unnies are back together again for episodes 9 and 10 of Perfect Crown, and this show does NOT let up! All hell breaks loose when Prince I-an and Hui-joo's marriage contract leaks — the PM, Lord Inpeyon, and the Queen all come for our couple, pushing hard to strip I-an of his regency. Hui-joo goes full noble idiot trying to protect him by pursuing a divorce, but true love prevails. We also get major reveals this week: the real evil mastermind behind the palace intrigue steps into focus, and we find out the poor baby King knew about his father's abdication all along. Hui-joo's family shows up for her in the aftermath, we learn about the Queen’s true feelings,  I-an finally opens up about his brother's abdication, and episode 10 closes on a fire that feels eerily familiar.

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!
