K-Drama School – Ep. 55: Hospital Playlist and Professionally Asshole-ing Up with Magda Mihaila

[Spoiler Alert] In this episode of K-Drama School, Grace discusses the show Hospital Playlist (tvN, 2020-2021) and the writer Lee Woo-jung’s career as a variety show writer into a K-drama writer, and how hospital dramas tend to write themselves because death and disease always keep the episodes’ stakes high. Grace’s guest is France-based Romanian comedian Magda Mihalia (@magdulicious on Instagram). They discuss being born into communist Romania to elderly parents in the countryside, being raised by her older sister, abortion rights, doctor-patient relationships and their ethicality in the context of human rights, doctors who sexually assault young girls, the myth of globalization, and getting her video shown on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
