We're back with part two of our Introduction to Korean Food! Sarah, Grace, and guest Susan continue to discuss favorite foods, including what we want to eat when we go to Korea, what we like to make at home, non-spicy options, and favorite ramyeons. We also discuss Korean food creators we enjoy and make recommendations about possible easy points of entry for listeners who want to try their own hands at making Korean food. In the language section, we discuss food-related Korean phrases. Korean food mentioned in this episode:kalguksumul naengmyeonkongguksumandu guktteokguksujebi (Susan's rec here) tteokbokkikimchi (soondubu) chigaedoenjang chigaebaek kimchimul kimchiyeolmu kimchinabak kimchigalbi tangseolleongtangsamgyetanggukbab pajeonjangjorimmyeolchi bokkeumoemuk bokkeum (oemuk is sometimes called odeng, a remnant of Japanese language imperialism)dongchimi kimchi/noodlesjapchaejjajangmyeongalbijjimgamjatanggopchang껍데기 구이 / kkeopdegi guikimbappajeonPaldo Bibim MenShin RamyeonSamyang RamyeonShin Red Fire Spicy BeefBuldak CarbonaraKorean food creators we follow:Maangchi Korean BapsangPOV husband crazykoreancooking MyKoreanKitchen BeyondKimchee The Korean Vegan Chef Ed LeePierre SangCookim Hooni kimHayden KimOther content mentioned in this episode:Enhypen Heeseung's ramyeon egg hack at 17min in.

Sarah and Grace were thrilled to have fellow Afternoona Delight Patreon member Susan on as a guest to discuss a favorite topic: Korean food. We chat about how we were each introduced to Korean food, what it consists of and its signature characteristics, how we have seen its popularity and influence grow, for better or worse, and how accurately it is portrayed in Korean dramas. This ended up being an extended conversation--what with tangents about memorable foods eaten on trips to Korea, all time favorite Korean dishes, and ones we still have on our foodie bucket list--so we have split it into two parts. We hope you enjoy listening to us talk about Korean food as much as we enjoyed discussing it!Korean shows mentioned in this episode:Goblin aka Guardian: The Great and Lonely GodMr. QueenHospital Playlist My DearestDeath's GameReply 1988Singles' InfernoI Live AloneCrash Course in RomanceA further introduction to our guest, Susan, can be found here:Afternoona Delight: Across Borders and Beyond K-DramasThe review of green onion Chex mentioned in this episodeSome banchan recipes recently posted on Instagram, here, here, and hereKorean food mentioned in this episode: Jokbal 족발 Galbi 갈비 (type of KBBQ, usually beef rib meat - samgyeopsal 삼겹살 is the other most popular KBBQ, that is pork belly)Japchae 잡채 Kimchi 김치Pajeon 파전Yachae twigim 야채튀김 Naengmyeon 냉면 Kimbab 김밥Hot dog 핫도그 (we call them corn dogs, but the Korean kind rarely have corn meal batter and they aren't called that in Korea)Chicken 치킨 (calling it by the Konglish word indicates you want the fried kind)Tongdak 통닭 (this is also fried chicken, but the old fashioned whole-fried variety)Banchan 반찬 Doenjang jjigae 된장찌개Hoe (sounds more like hweh) naengmyun 회냉면 Hongeo hoe  홍어회Ganjang gyejang 간장게장Yangnyeom gyejang 양념게잔Gyeran mari 계란말이

Sarah and Grace had fun discussing the Confucian elements found in Mr. Plankton, Grace's favorite Kdrama of 2024. We talked about the symbolism of traditional Korean wedding clothes, the importance of bloodlines in Confucianism, and why there is a stigma attached to being an orphan. Grace goes through the different meanings/word play found in the characters' names in the language section.

Sarah and Grace had a fascinating conversation with Professor Charles Kim about the history and culture of South Korean protest. We touched on ancient and modern stories of Korean resistance viewed as precursors to South Korean protest, the student protests that ousted the first South Korean president in 1960, the evolution of mass protest in South Korea over the 1970s and 1980s, and characteristics of its present-day culture of protest. We also discussed the way language changed in South Korea during the transition from the Japanese colonial era through post-Korean War in our language section.Book: Youth for Nation: Culture and Protest in Cold War South Korea by Charles KimKorean dramas and reality shows mentioned in this episode (Charles's favorites with rankings in parentheses):Signal (5)Mr. Sunshine (4)MisaengReply seriesCunning Single LadyLove After Divorce (3)Culinary Class WarsFamiliar Wife (2)Our Blues (1)Twinkling WatermelonTomorrowMy Dearest

Sarah and Grace discuss the cultural context and nuances of Love Next Door in this episode, as part of our ongoing Confucian series. We first mark some milestones in our podcasting journey and reflect on how much hallyu has continued to sweep the globe. We talk about Confucian familial expectations and pressures, how age-based hierarchy has influenced our relationships with our parents, and the kinds of dreams Asian immigrant families have for their children. In the language section, Grace talks about a few fun Korean phrases that showed up in the drama, which unfortunately lost their color upon translation.Sarah's deep dive of Love Next Door with Liliana from Tea and Soju: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4HFZDwVh05dSE732YIiFvl?si=rD4_Wm5sQiGoGEtdOW33CQ Forbes articles on cultural nuances in Love Next Door by Regina Kim:https://www.forbes.com/sites/reginakim/2024/10/15/love-next-door-15-things-you-may-have-missed-in-episodes-15-and-16/@kenjikundesu's Kdrama Club: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDBUTuxpihb/?igsh=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

Grace welcomes fellow Korean American, Lisa, as a guest this episode to talk about Park Chan-wook's 2000 film Joint Security Area and compare notes on our personal experiences of Hallyu. We discuss the standing of the film as an early Hallyu success, its moving and humanizing portrayal of soldiers from both sides of the armistice line, the impact of Korea's division on the psyche of its people both at home and abroad, and the tension and longing that characterize relations between each side of the divided peninsula. We also discuss the differences in Korean language usage between North and South Korea in the language section.Find Lisa on Youtube, posting on the ARMY Auntie channel (@ARMYAuntie777), and @chibifromouterspace on Instagram.Dramas we reference during the show:Get KarlLaw SchoolDivorce Attorney ShinHyenaExtraordinary Attorney WooWonderful WorldWhy Her?Dinner MateMy Dearest25/21CLOYJewel in the PalaceGo Back CoupleTomorrowKnight FlowerFilms we reference during the show:Secret ReunionLone StarMementoShiri

We had so much fun diving deep into one of Grace's top comfort dramas, the 2010 sageuk Sungkyunkwan Scandal. We were excited to have Gavin join us again to discuss the historical backdrop, queer-coded characters, and surprisingly liberal version of Confucianism we find in this "Joseon Coffee Prince." Join us to discuss this gender swap historical drama, in Park Min Young's breakout role. We start with a spoiler free section so you can listen to see if this might be a drama for you!Note - Sarah mentions JK Rowling upset Taiwanese people over her criticism of a Taiwanese Olympian, Lin Yu Ting, and her eligibilty to compete in Women's sport. However, Sarah referred to her as trans, which is incorrect, as Lin Yu Ting is a cis-gendered woman (which makes it worse!).
