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!
