Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

It's time for episode 8 of The Glory, Sarangees! This was the final episode of Part 1 of the series, and it did NOT let up! So many things happened, and just when you thought things couldn't get crazier, they do. First, we open with Hye-jeong begging Dong-eun to forgive her — she's willing to go to Dong-eun's side as long as Dong-eun doesn't tattle on her to her future mother-in-law. Dong-eun and Jae-joon have an explosive confrontation where we learn more about how he bullied Dong-eun back in the day. Do-young decides to investigate on his own, meeting with Hye-jeong privately with a very special gift. Jae-joon wants Yeon-jin to leave Do-young for him, and Do-young confronts a very defiant Yeon-jin about her dark past. Yeon-jin investigates Dong-eun, leading her to break into Dong-eun's war room — and then Do-young walks in on her. It's NUTS, y'all!

For this week's segment, we deep dive into Jung Sung-il, who plays our dreamy Do-young.

Hold onto your hats!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Happy World Cup (and THE KNICKS WON), Sarangees! We're back with our reactions to episodes 11 and 12 of My Royal Nemesis, and y'all, we have to be honest…it was confusing. Chrissy was confused. Dulcé was confused. We share our theories on what we THINK happened with the Seo-ri/Dan-shim soul switch, so please let us know if we got anything wrong and drop your own theories below!

There were some major GIRL WHAT moments this week, like Seo-ri's "friend" drugging her and locking her up in the prop room, AND the way Seo-ri's family died?! We're also seriously worried for Se-gye as Telemundo goes absolutely BONKERS trying to destroy him. So many unanswered questions as we head into the FINAL two episodes...we are DYING to see how this all wraps up!

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast! 

Hello Sarangees! We're back with episode 7 of The Glory, and of course, IT DOESN'T DISAPPOINT! If the last episode was all about loading the gun, this one's all about putting your finger on the trigger. Yeo-jeong’s officially joined Dong-eun as her executioner, and we finally get his backstory…turns out he's got his own revenge mission against the man who killed his father.

Do-young's catching on to Yeon-jin and her crazy friends. The bullies are in full panic mode after Myeong-oh vanishes. And Jae-joon? He discovers Ye-sol is really his daughter, follows her around, and then absolutely loses it — choking out Yeon-jin in the process. But it gets WORSE. He shows up to the school's Daddy's Day event and confronts Do-young. Poor Do-young finds out and realizes Dong-eun is Ye-sol's teacher in the same episode. The guy cannot catch a break.

Then we're switching gears for our Marry, F***, or Kill: Male Villain Edition game, and we've got a special Sarangees Hotline call from Elena about the c-drama Pursuit of Jade.

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!
