Chasing K-Dramas

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Sarangees! Episode 4 of Dynamite Kiss might be the tropiest episode yet, with every scene PACKED with ridiculously fun moments as Ji-hyuk flip-flops between wanting Da-rim to stay… and wanting her gone. After Ji-hyuk saves Da-rim from her “drowning” incident at the pool, both he and Seon-woo step in to rescue her from some truly unhinged loan sharks. Despite saving her (and nearly kissing her in a very random closet), Ji-hyuk still insists she resign — until a surprisingly tender bonding moment over their shared love for their moms finally cracks him. Meanwhile, the MotherTF team is forced to pull together a chaotic commerce livestream, all thanks to the scheming J-hye, delivering peak workplace shenanigans including A KISS BETWEEN DA-RIM AND JI-HYUK! The episode ends on full chaos mode: Da-rim is kidnapped, a wild car chase ensues, and Ji-hyuk offers to “buy” Da-rim with his black card. Naturally. We also deep-dive into Jang Ki-yong, the actor behind our ultimate softboy chaebol. Announcements:We just launched our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Sarangees! Your unnies are back with Episode 3 of Dynamite Kiss, and this is the episode where everything shifts. Ji-hyuk, our sweet, soft-boy chaebol (with EQ!), suddenly flips the switch into bad-boy chaebol, and honestly? We’re not sure how we feel about it! Da-rim officially lands the job at Natural BeBe, and her long-awaited reunion with Ji-hyuk does not disappoint. He’s shocked, furious, and—let’s be real—secretly thrilled to see her. Cue peak workplace drama as Ji-hyuk launches a full-on mission to get Da-rim fired. But our Rimmie is not going down without a fight. Determined to keep her job, she throws herself into the baby bottle testing project with everything she’s got. Meanwhile, Sun-woo discovers that Da-rim lied about being married… to him, just as Ha-yeong starts crushing on him. The episode crescendos with Da-rim presenting her team’s baby bottle report, only for Ji-hyuk to dramatically toss it into the pool. Naturally, Da-rim jumps in after it, and yes, he jumps in to save her. Because of course he does. We also share fun facts about the writers and director, and wrap things up with our DK Trope Tracker.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Hello Sarangees! It’s time to start chasing our NEW drama, Dynamite Kiss! Since airing earlier this fall, Dynamite Kiss has become a bona fide hit in Korea and around the world, and it’s easy to see why. This is rom-com heaven, with every episode stuffed to the brim with tropes we love.We meet Go Da-rim, our happy-go-lucky but down-on-her-luck heroine, and Gong Ji-hyuk, a handsome, icy chaebol heir who doesn’t believe in love. After a very drunk Da-rim tries to save Ji-hyuk’s life on the cliffs of Jeju-do—while he’s convinced she’s completely unhinged—their fates collide again. Da-rim runs into her ex-boyfriend, now married to her high school friend, and surprise! He’s the very man Ji-hyuk is trying to recruit. What starts as a convenient alliance turns into a contract relationship, but things quickly spiral when their “fake” romance bleeds into reality, culminating in a first kiss that is truly dynamite. We wrap up the episode with our brand-new DK Trope Tracker. Let the chase begin! 💋🔥Announcements:We just launched our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

With help from the village leader and Cheonpung’s marine corps, Khalid is finally defeated, but the victory comes at a devastating cost. Halmoni, Sade, and Shadi are killed, Genie disappears, and the village is left in mourning. As Minji and the villagers grieve Halmoni, Ka Young struggles to process her emotions in the aftermath.The final episode opens with Ka Young finding Genie in the deserts of Dubai. After a tearful reunion, she makes her final wish – to finally be able to feel. Genie dissipates and Ka-young forgets him entirely…until Irem returns her memories. Ka Young dies mourning Genie and Halmoni, but is magically reborn as a Jinniya, reunited with the people she loves—including Genie. The series closes with the two of them, happily ever after, waltzing through the desert as Minjii looks on.We loved this series so much, and we’re so grateful you chased it with us. 💖Next Wednesday (12/30), join us for our special After Party episode, featuring our End of Drama Awards and American Remake Casting.

For the final stretch of Genie, Make A Wish, we’re switching things up and combining episodes 10 & 11 into one action-packed recap, especially episode 11, because WOW.In episode 10, young Halmoni begins preparing for her own death, Minji uncovers the truth about Miju’s identity, and the immortals edge closer to an inevitable confrontation. Genie experiences unsettling flashbacks… and then episode 11 drops the emotional bomb we’ve been waiting for: the truth behind Genie’s 20-year memory gap. We learn that Genie and Ka-young fell deeply in love in Old Dubai, only for their love to be torn apart by human greed. Back in the present, young Halmoni, Minji, and the villagers are forced to witness a devastating tragedy. We also wrap up our actor deep dives, spotlighting Kim Mi Kyung (Halmoni), Ko Kyu Pil (Sade), and Woo Hyun Jin (Irem).Next week—on Christmas Eve—we’ll conclude our chase with the final episodes, 12 and 13.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Sarangees, we’re BACK with episode 9 of Genie, Make A Wish — and the plot twists are twistier than ever! Genie and Ka Young are inching closer to uncovering the truth behind Genie’s mysterious 20-year memory gap. We learn that Genie’s brothers Shadi and Zahara pulled the ultimate forbidden move: they swapped the soul of Shadi’s son, Khalid, with the immortal soul of young Hunbish. Now Khalid is gunning for Ka-young’s final wish so he can level up into a supreme being. Angel-nim (or psycho angel ajusshi) confronts young Halmoni/Miju and tells her she can’t avoid death even in a younger boyd. Minji finally uncovers Miju’s true identity, Ppoppi/Kim Gae makes his final wish, and Genie and Ka Young launch a time-travel heist to catch Sangtae in the middle of his LAST murder. And then?? A soft, squeal-worthy moment between Genie and Ka Young to end the episode. We were kicking our feet!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! The unnies are BACK with Episode 7 of Genie, Make A Wish, and Cheonpung is absolutely unhinged this week. Ka Young travels to the past with Angel-nim and walks away with even MORE questions about Genie’s feelings, her hourglass, and why she suddenly needs a crash course in Goryeo history. Meanwhile, Genie approaches YouTuber Heyong Hyeon and grants his first wish… which somehow leads to the discovery of a dead body. The whole village freaks out and immediately blames Ka Young, their “resident psychopath.” Genie then attempts the most chaotic K-drama seduction plan of all time, we uncover the real murderer behind the dead boy, AND we finally get a wild new connection between the genie Shadi and little boy Hunbish. PLUS: we go full deep dive on mega star Kim Woo-bin, who plays our Genie. It’s messy, it’s dramatic, it’s hilarious.

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? Announcements:We just launched our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

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! Announcements:We just launched our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

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. 🧞‍♂️✨Announcements:We just launched our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!
