Chasing K-Dramas

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!Hello Sarangees! We’re back with Unnies React and this time, it’s a DOUBLE feature! We wanted to keep reacting to Make Me Tingle while also covering The Remarried Empress, the brand new show from Disney+, so we figured we’d try out a new format! We’ll start with MMT and end with TRE, so use the timestamps if you want to skip around!Make Me Tingle continues to give us crazy laughs and all the feels. We’re loving the interactions between Yeon-su and Dal as they grow closer and learn more about each other. We also can’t believe there are already TWO kisses in Episode 3!The Remarried Empress is a complete vibe shift, and we’re still trying to wrap our heads around what’s going on. You can tell this is a big-budget swing from Disney with the A-list cast, on-location filming, and over-the-top costume design. We had a lot of mixed feelings about the first episode, but we were glad things started picking up by the second. Honestly, this is a fantasy makjang, so how can we say no to affairs, betrayal, and royal infighting?Strap in, Sarangees. It’s bananas!Announcements:We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

Se–ri makes Jeong-hyeok her official bodyguard and gives him a full Seoul makeover with designer suits and a fresh haircut, and he gets a new name: Lee Hyuk.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!Sarangees! We’re back with Unnies React, and this time, we’re reacting to the hilarious and quirky Make Me Tingle! This drama is a breath of fresh air and it GOES there. We’re loving our female lead, the innocent and conservative Yeon-su, played by Nam Ji-hyun,  as she learns about relationships and intimacy with her gruff boss, Dokgo Dal, played by Kim Jae-yeong.  What a name! The first two episodes had us gasping for air as we saw these toys being waved around everywhere, including actually hitting Yeon-su’s grandpa in the face. We can’t wait to see how these leads fall in love! Strap in, Sarangees. It’s bananas! Announcements:We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign! Our goal is to hit 10k subscribers on YouTube.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast! Sarangees! Your favorite unnies are back with Episode 9 of Crash Landing on You, and the tale of endless goodbyes continues. We learn that Se-ri was NOT shot by her kidnappers. In fact, she’s been stowed away in the attic at Jeong-hyeok’s family home! Jeong-hyeok gets arrested by Lunatic Lt. and has the dwarflings spread rumors about who his appa is! Se-ri thinks Jeong-hyeok’s dad is Dan’s dad and is shocked to realize whose house she’s really in. Jeong-hyeok tears into his parents’ house in tears, demanding to see Se-ri, and asking if his dad killed her. Jeong-hyeok’s mom comes to the rescue and pulls Se-ri forward as the couple reunites, much to the disbelief of Jeong-hyeok’s dad. Our couple realizes that Jeong-hyeok's SONG SAVED SE-RI’s LIFE, and they make their final attempt to take her home. Meanwhile, Dan gets super drunk learning about Jeong-hyeok’s actions, and Baby Scammer has to piggyback her home. The dwarflings and Jeong-hyeok escort Se-ri to the DMZ, and there we have the most tearful goodbye as Se-ri finally goes back to South Korea or DOES SHE?! Strap in, Sarangees.
