This episode, my Korean friend Jace and I are currently watching The King: Eternal Monarch - an ongoing Kdrama currently airing on Netflix. Every Thursday, I'll have a special episode where we talk about the newly released episodes! It'll be a short episode to get us revved up for the next episodes!
Can't exactly say there are any spoilers, since this is an ongoing drama. But I do advise you to give The King: Eternal Monarch a watch on Netflix before joining us on this podcast. That way, you'll get what we're talking about :)
The King: Eternal Monarch airs on Netflix every Friday and Saturday!
