Chasing K-Dramas

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Sarangees!  We’re BACK with Episode 5 of Genie, Make a Wish — and this show just keeps getting wilder!  Ka Young makes her second wish of wanting her Halmoni her age! Cue chaos as Grandma transforms into a young hottie named Miju and immediately starts living her best life.

Meanwhile, Genie’s out here connecting with his next “victims” Sangtae and Bokyung, and we finally learn more about that mysterious little boy and his super sketchy dad — who, plot twist, went to college with Ka Young?! Plus, Genie and Angel are back at it again with their ridiculous sibling squabbles.

Ka Young starts having flashbacks to her past lives, Miju and Minji form an unlikely bond, and Angel tempts Ka Young with secrets about her history with Genie. We also deep dive into our leading lady Suzy.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

The unnies are back with Episode 4 — and Ka Young is thirsty! After that magical first kiss, she’s ready for more, but our bewildered Genie is full of regret (and rule-making). He sets some “kiss rules,” and Ka Young begrudgingly plays along. Meanwhile, we learn more about Bo Kyeong — Ka Young’s old classmate and Genie’s next “corruption target” — and meet a mysterious new boy and his family who just moved to Cheongpung. At the cherry blossom festival, Genie’s chaos levels are off the charts while Angel starts approaching a suspicious Ka Young. Things heat up when Ka Young makes her second wish… to make Halmoni her age?! Plus, a totally random (but delightful) cameo you won’t see coming. The unnies dive into the show’s lightning-fast pacing and debate: are Genie and Ka Young actually catching feelings?

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Sarangees!  We’re BACK with Episode 3 — and this one made the unnies squeal! Who knew a Genie could be this swoony?! This week, Genie introduces Ka Young to the five candidates for her first wish (remember, he needs to “corrupt” 3 out of 5 humans). Turns out… they’re all her nosy neighbors in Cheonpung! Meanwhile, Genie goes on a literal magic carpet joyride — terrifying the citizens of Korea and Japan — before we meet his hot brother, Angel-nim… who also happens to be Ka Young’s landlord. Cue the thousand-year sibling beef! And that ending?! A full city blackout leads to Ka Young and Genie’s first kiss. Was it real or just one of Genie’s tricks? It’s chaotic, silly, and romantic…and we’re here for every second of it!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

The unnies are BACK and it’s chaos as usual! Episode 2 of Genie, Make A Wish kicks off with our furious genie choking our unbothered queen Ka Young — who’s thrilled to have some excitement in her life!

We meet new faces — bestie Choi Minji and the very mysterious landlord Ryu Su Hyeon — and get a peek into Ka Young’s past. Things get fiery (literally 🔥) when Genie tests Ka Young by setting her auto shop ablaze, only to realize this girl might be truly crazy.. The episode wraps with Ka Young’s first wish (finally!) and our deep dive into the legendary writer behind it all, Kim Eun Sook.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

SARANGEES! 💫 It’s time for a brand new drama chase — Genie, Make A Wish! Instead of rewatching a finished drama, we’re switching things up and recapping a current series in real time! Genie is a quirky fantasy rom-com that’s already a wild ride. Our leads, Iblis the Genie and Ki Ka-young, a psychopath, cross paths in Dubai. Iblis declares Ka-young his new master and offers her three wishes — even though she wants nothing to do with him. Cue the chaos: he badgers her, she punches him, he takes her flying, and she pushes him off a building. Like we said… it’s wild full of shenanigans. We also share our initial reactions, some fun facts about the show, and what to expect from this drama chase. Buckle up, Sarangees — this one’s going to be magical. 🧞‍♂️✨

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

We made it, Sarangees! 🎉 It’s the FINAL episode of Marry My Husband and we went all out with a LIVE show at the Hollywood Improv in LA! The unnies were joined by comedian & writer (and first-time K-drama watcher) Alex English plus a room full of amazing Sarangees. Together, we broke down ALL the epic finale chaos: Soomin’s wild attempt to take out Jiwon, Yoora finally getting her karma, and Jiwon & Darcy-nim’s happily-ever-after (that maybe dragged on just a bit too long ).

We also shared our final thoughts, reactions, and crowned this drama with our ultimate ranking. We’ll be back next week for our Marry My Husband After Party. 💖

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 

Sarangees! It’s time for Episode 15 and whew — this one is PACKED (and long 😅)! The unnies swear the writers wanted to tie up every loose end before the finale, but lucky for us, it’s nonstop entertainment. We open with trash ass Minhwan choking out Jiwon (!!) before Jihyuk swoops in to save her. Jiwon ends up unconscious, Minhwan and Jihyuk land in jail, but Seokjun and Jooran come through to save the day. Minhwan spirals further into desperation, while Soomin finally meets Yoora. Minhwan hatches a wild plan: cash in on U&K’s spousal insurance by killing Soomin (with Yoora’s help). Jiwon and Jihyuk trick Soomin into catching Minhwan and Yoora in bed, then Minhwan snatches Soomin away to a cabin for one last evil act…except plot twist — Soomin kills him! The episode ends with Soomin on the run, ready to plot her final revenge against Jiwon. Oh, and we take a fun deep dive into BoA, the K-pop queen who brings evil Yoora to life.
