Chasing K-Dramas

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

Today's the day, Sarangees! It's time for our sixth drama chase: Crash Landing on You! 🌪️🪂💥❤️ We're fully ready to paraglide into North Korea with our heroine Se-ri so she can find her Jeong-hyeok!

First up, we get into why we chose CLOY and why it took us SO long to rewatch it.

Then we meet Yoon Se-ri, chaebol CEO of Se-ri's Choice, and step into her world. Her father, chairman of Queens Group (same name, different family from Queen of Tears!), names her his successor, much to the chagrin of her incompetent brothers and cold mother.

But that doesn't hold Se-ri back. She's ready to soar and conquer anything in her way. So she goes paragliding, gets swept up in a freak tornado, and crash-lands on the North Korean side of the DMZ.

Enter Ri Jeong-hyeok, a stoic North Korean army captain, who immediately accuses her of being a spy. Se-ri manages to escape, leaves Jeong-hyeok stranded on a landmine, and tries to RUN back to South Korea.

Along the way, we meet Jeong-hyeok's army unit, the Company Five, who are all on a mission to hunt her down. Then there's our villain, Lunatic Lieutenant Cho Cheol-gang, who ends up killing like 5 people, which is INSANE. And we get a quick glimpse of our second male lead, Gu Seung-jun.

Finally, Se-ri stumbles into a village she assumes is in South Korea. But one look at the villagers and the North Korean propaganda posters plastered everywhere, and she realizes... she's really not in Seoul anymore.

Episode 1 is a fantastic set-up with GREAT world-building. To get y'all up to speed, we have a special segment doing a quick and dirty overview of South and North Korean history, so we're all on the same page. Plus, a Sarangees Hotline from @dda523.

Hold onto your parachutes! Let's get into it!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Hello Sarangees! We’re saying our goodbyes to our FIFTH drama chase The Glory! 

This drama was truly a masterpiece of storytelling and had us emotionally invested from the beginning. Although there were intense (and very difficult) moments, we're so glad we got to join Dong-eun on her revenge journey and experience catharsis with her. We hand out our End of Drama Awards 🏆 and then predict epilogues for our main characters.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

SARANGEES! We made it. It's the FINAL episode of The Glory, and honestly? One of the best finales we've ever watched. Our friend Rek Lee is back on the pod to help us break down this episode and the series as a whole.

The episode opens with Yeo-jeong confessing  to Dong-eun that he knew about her schemes the ENTIRE time, but  instead of turning her off, it makes her realize how much he likes her. Dong-eun then approaches Hye-jeong with a proposition: get revenge on Jae-joon by swapping out his eye drops and BLINDING him. It’s pretty brilliant. Yeon-jin shows up to the crime scene at Siesta and gets arrested. The white truck of doom appears and crashes into Jae-joon. Yeon-jin’s mom gets arrested. Do-young shows up to Yeon-jin’s prison just to deliver her divorce papers. With her revenge complete, Dong-eun ties up loose ends, including LEAVING Yeo-jeong behind at the beach, and visits Yeon-jin in prison one last time. There, she goads her, and we learn the truth behind who really killed Myeong-oh. With her revenge complete, Dong-eun decides to end her life on the same rooftop as So-hee, but Yeo-jeong’s mom stops her, begging her to help her son. Six months pass, and Dong-eun comes back to Yeo-jeong, where they share a kiss and decide to follow through on Yeo-jeong’s revenge plan against the crazy killer, and they recruit Hyun-nam to help. We end with Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong getting ready to fully execute their revenge plan. 

Then it's our final thoughts: the total body count, what we loved and didn't love about the ending, and our picks for the most epic revenge plan of the series. We'll be back next week with The Glory After Party where we hand out our End of Drama Awards.

Honestly? Super sad to say goodbye to this fantastic drama…

We also have another Sarangees Hotline with Sha'Kayla @thugz_bunny28!!
