Chasing K-Dramas

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised!  Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!  Sarangees! We're back with episode 3 of The Glory, and the revenge machine is officially going! We finally understand why Hyun-nam wants Dong-eun to murder her husband, and Dong-eun wastes no time enlisting her as her first ally. Hyun-nam starts tailing all of the bullies, gathering intel, and they uncover a major secret about little Ye-sol that changes everything. Yeo-jung and Dong-eun are reunited, and for the first time, she lets her walls down just a little. She also manages to lure Do-young into her Go academy, and that man has no idea what's coming for him. Then Dong-eun starts using her revenge receipts! She confronts her old schoolteacher. She blackmails the chairman. She drops a bombshell on Myeong-oh about the death of their old classmate So-hee and watches him squirm. And then? She shows up at Yeon-jin's alumni award ceremony at their old high school gym and looks her dead in the eye. The audacity. The precision. Chef’s kiss.  We also deep dive into the one and only Song Hye-kyo, the mega superstar bringing our Dong-eun to life. Let's get into it!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! The unnies are back together again for episodes 9 and 10 of Perfect Crown, and this show does NOT let up! All hell breaks loose when Prince I-an and Hui-joo's marriage contract leaks — the PM, Lord Inpeyon, and the Queen all come for our couple, pushing hard to strip I-an of his regency. Hui-joo goes full noble idiot trying to protect him by pursuing a divorce, but true love prevails. We also get major reveals this week: the real evil mastermind behind the palace intrigue steps into focus, and we find out the poor baby King knew about his father's abdication all along. Hui-joo's family shows up for her in the aftermath, we learn about the Queen’s true feelings,  I-an finally opens up about his brother's abdication, and episode 10 closes on a fire that feels eerily familiar.

  Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised!  Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!  Sarangees! We're back with Episode 2 of The Glory, and it's proof that revenge doesn't need to be loud to be devastating. While Dong-eun is quietly stalking, collecting secrets, and piecing together shredded documents, the bullies are out here living their best unbothered lives. Yeon-jin has the dream setup: rich husband, baby, the perfect job, and she's still terrorizing everyone around her. Jae-joon has a clothing store and a golf course, with Myeong-oh running around as his personal errand boy. Sa-ra is an artist by day and feeds a drug habit by night. And Hye-jeong? She's a flight attendant who's pining over Jae-joon while still letting friends bully her. We learn more about Yeo-jeong, our male lead, who teaches Dong-eun the game of Go. She learns how to destroy an opponent's territory — slowly, silently, without mercy — which becomes her blueprint for revenge. And just when you think the episode can't top itself, a random stranger catches Dong-eun gathering evidence and asks her to kill her husband. We deep-dive into some fun facts about the drama and close out with our brand-new segment,  “Revenge Receipts”, where we keep tally of every new piece of evidence Dong-eun has collected or used against her bullies. The war room is open. Let's go!  Announcements: We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign! Our goal is to hit 10k subscribers on YouTube.

Content Warning: This podcast covers The Glory, which contains depictions of violence, sexual content, suicide, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised!  Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!  Dearest Sarangees, it's time for our fifth Drama Chase — The Glory — and we've officially entered our dark drama era. This is a gritty, somber drama packed with complex characters and rich storylines full of revenge and darkness. In the first episode, we meet our morose protagonist, Moon Dong-eun, who is setting up a war room in a small apartment in Semyeong. We discover that when she was in high school, she was brutally burned by a gang of bullies led by Park Yeon-jin — and the adults in her life completely failed to protect her. She decides to fight back with a meticulously planned, decade-long revenge scheme aimed at ruining the lives of the bullies, her teacher, and her mother. For our segment, we deep dive into the real-life incident that inspired the show and the very real issue of school bullying in Korea. Buckle up, y’all! It’s about to get wild!  Article Citations: “We Torment Others: The Dark Side of South Korean School Life” by Raphael Rashid in The Guardian on June 6, 2023.  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/07/we-torment-others-the-dark-side-of-south-korean-school-life-bullying-school-violence “Hair curler bullying scene in ‘The Glory’ stirs memories of similar case from 2006” by Park Jun-hee in The Korean Herald on January 11, 2023.  https://www.koreaherald.com/article/3038532 Announcements: We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Sarangees! Chrissy is flying solo this week while Dulcé is out on the road — but the drama doesn't stop for anyone! We're reacting to episodes 5 AND 6 of Perfect Crown, and these two episodes did NOT hold back. Prince I-an breaks off his arrangement with Hui-joo after discovering someone tampered with her car — and with the trauma of losing his mother in an accident, he's not taking any chances. Noble idiot behavior? Yes. Meanwhile, Prime Minister-nim shoots his shot and asks Hui-joo to marry him instead... and gets his heart absolutely shattered for it. Then it's off to the Inner Court Banquet, where Hui-joo shows up in a white power suit, I-an makes a very public proposal that shocks literally everyone including the Queen, and our couple somehow ends up kissing on a yacht.  Announcements: We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Sarangees, we’ve made it to Episode 13 of Dynamite Kiss — and we truly cannot believe it.  With only two episodes left, the drama goes full angst mode, and it feels like the writers are determined to make us feel frustrated. Da-rim is publicly accused of being a corporate spy, and Ji-hye manipulates her into taking the fall. Meanwhile, Ji-hyeok and Gyeong-min go into full investigation mode, racing to find evidence to clear Da-rim’s name. But in true K-drama fashion, Da-rim spirals into guilt, becomes a noble idiot, and breaks up with Ji-hyeok. Elsewhere, Ha-yeong’s mom confronts Seon-woo once again, only to end up softening up to Jun. Da-rim and her mom flee to the countryside, where her uncle immediately tries to set her up with the local hottie. Ji-hyeok, of course, chases after her and promises to protect her. Armed with new evidence, he returns to Seoul and goes head-to-head with Ji-hye in a shareholder meeting showdown. We wrap it all up with this week’s DK Trope Tracker.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!  We’re back with Episode 11 of Dynamite Kiss, and we only have three episodes left! Ji-hyeok and Da-rim officially enter their dating era after Da-rim saves him from the museum fire. Meanwhile, Seon-woo pulls the most unserious move possible…he decides to take back his confession to Da-rim and claims it was all just a prank?! WHAT?! Ji-hyeok begins investigating the suspicious museum fire, while Da-rim and Ha-yeong unexpectedly bond over drinks… and get very drunk.  At work, Ji-hye continues her sabotage campaign by transferring the MotherTF team to the Customer Service department. And as if this drama wasn’t already chaotic enough, the episode ends with the most ridiculous scandal yet: a chicken bone found in a Natural BeBe diaper, forcing Da-rim to save the day once again. We wrap it all up with this week’s DK Trope Tracker. Announcements: We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign! Our goal is to hit 10k subscribers on YouTube.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!  It’s time for Episode 10 of Dynamite Kiss, and the over-the-top chaos just keeps escalating. After that very hot kiss, Da-rim starts questioning whether Ji-hyeok is actually being honest… does he really like her?! Meanwhile, Seon-woo tells Ha-yeong that he confessed to Da-rim, and Ha-yeong is excited that he’s about to get rejected. Ji-hye continues teaming up with trash-ass Tae-young to plot a takeover of Natural BeBe. Ji-hyeok’s mom ends up staying with Da-rim’s house, which somehow turns into a full-blown affection competition between Ji-hyeok and Seon-woo. And then, as if we didn’t have enough shenanigans, the episode delivers a completely unhinged, unbelievable fire at Ha-yeong’s museum during the Natural BeBe photo exhibition. Ji-hyeok gets trapped inside, and Da-rim becomes the hero.  We wrap it all up with this week’s DK Trope Tracker, because this drama refuses to miss a single one.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!  Sarangees! We’re back with Episode 9 of Dynamite Kiss and y’all… THIS. IS. IT.  THIS is the episode where Ji-hyeok finally finds out the TRUTHHH. It needed to happen.  But before he confronts Da-rim, he has to go through his engagement party with Ha-yeong, which is gloriously derailed when his mom fake-faints and single-handedly pauses the pending nuptials. She then decides to divorce his father for real and plans to move in with Da-rim’s mom once they’re discharged. When Ji-hyeok finally confronts Da-rim, he wastes no time. Feeling betrayed, he fires her on the spot and Da-rim begs for forgiveness.  Then, Seon-woo confesses his feelings and tells her to “think on it.” The two men then face off in the most ridiculous showdown at a photo exhibition interview, because of course they do. Ji-hyeok accepts his feelings for Da-rim and makes his move with a VERY hot kiss that leaves her completely stunned.  We also dive into the show’s addictive OST and close things out with the DK Trope Tracker!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Hello Sarangees! We’re back with Episode 8 of Dynamite Kiss, and things again spiral in every direction. Before we jump into the chaos, we kick things off with some free-flowing banter with our very special guest, Rek Lee (Rekstizzy), including K-drama preferences, hot takes, and hilarious cultural observations.From there, the drama hits hard as Ji-hyuk’s forced engagement to poor Ha-yeong changes everything and forces some very messy decisions. We break down Ji-hyuk’s noble idiot behavior, complicated love triangles, family pressure, and why this episode feels like a major turning point.Things only escalate on the island, where forced proximity, unresolved feelings, and an unforgettable spider POV scene push tensions to the edge. And when kids start spilling secrets, all hell breaks loose.We wrap by calling out who’s winning, who’s losing, our beloved DK Trope Tracker, and why Episode 8 might be one of the wildest yet. Timestamps are in the show notes if you want to jump straight to the recap — but if you’re here for the banter, the unnies got you!Announcements:We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Hello, Sarangees! We’re back with another Dynamite Kiss episode that takes a hard left from fun and flirty to fully unhinged. We kick things off with side chats about doctor visits, Bridgerton, Can This Love Be Translated?, and Jang Ok Jung before diving straight into the drama.The episode opens at the hospital with Ji-hyuk taking care of Da-rim, while Seon-woo pays a visit to Da-rim’s mom. We’re also introduced to Ha-yeong’s brother, Tae-young — our newest trash-ass character — and get the messy backstory of his past with Ji-hye.Next, it’s off to Natural Bebe’s tree-planting celebration… which quickly spirals when the party turns into a full-on search mission after Da-rim and Ji-hyuk go missing (while searching for a missing boy) in a rainy forest. Alone together, they share a charged moment where Ji-hyuk admits he’s been “swayed” by Da-rim — only to be interrupted by a very shocked Seon-woo.From there, Ji-hyuk spirals hard: he heads home sick and dejected, suffers a wild nightmare, and makes a painful decision to push Da-rim away — one that could change his life forever. We wrap things up with a lightning round of the Dynamite Kiss Trope Tracker.It’s chaotic, dramatic, and completely unhinged — just how we like it. Announcements:We’re on our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARANGEES! 🎉 We’re officially ONE YEAR OLD on February 5, and what better way to celebrate than breaking down Episode 6 of Dynamite Kiss together? We kick things off with some reflections on turning one, then dive straight into an episode that sends everyone into a full spiral. Ji-hyuk witnesses that kiss between Seon-woo and Ha-yeong and immediately starts questioning everything…including whether he should finally tell Da-rim the “truth.” Meanwhile, Ji-hyuk and Da-rim’s moms have an ultra-awkward run-in at the hospital (K-drama fate strikes again). Back at work, the MotherTF team defeats the marketing team to launch their tree-planting campaign, which naturally calls for a celebratory team dinner — where Da-rim almost makes a move on Ji-hyuk. Elsewhere, Ha-yeong invites Seon-woo to celebrate her first birthday together, Da-rim collapses at work, and Ji-hyuk enters full hero mode, rushing her to the hospital and making a truly fateful decision.For our segment, we deep-dive into Woo Da-vi, who plays our beloved chaebol queen Ha-yeong, and of course, we wrap things up with the Dynamite Kiss Trope Tracker!Announcements:We just launched our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! We’re back with Episode 5 of Dynamite Kiss, and the stakes are even higher as the full love square converges at Natural Bebe. After Ji-hyuk heroically saves Da-rim from the loan sharks, he’s left spiraling over his growing feelings for the very “married” Da-rim, while Seon-woo’s jealousy starts to bubble over. Back at Natural Bebe, Ji-hyuk rescues his team from the disastrous livestream, and the MotherTF crew launches a new project: planting trees at the company park. Ji-hyuk ropes Ha-yeong into finding a photographer, and naturally, she recruits Seon-woo. He joins without hesitation, eager to get closer to Da-rim and keep a close eye on Ji-hyuk. The team heads off on a retreat, chaos ensues, and the episode ends with a surprise kiss and Ji-hyuk once again swooping in to save Da-rim. We also deep-dive into Kim Mu-jun, who plays our bestie, Seon-woo.Announcements:We just launched our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

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!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Happy Christmas Eve, Sarangees!  We’re covering the final two episodes of Genie, Make A Wish, and we are not ready to say goodbye to Ka Young, Genie, and the Cheonpung crew. In Episode 12, everything comes to a head with the final battle between Ka Young, Genie, and the immortals. 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.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Dearest Sarangees. 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! We also dive deep into our chaotic Angel-nim himself — Noh Sang-hyun / Steve Noh!Announcements:We just launched our “Road to 10,000 Sarangees” campaign!

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.

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!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Sarangees! It’s time for Episode 15 and whew — this one is PACKED (and long 😅)! The unnies swear the writers wanted to tie up every loose end before the finale, but lucky for us, it’s nonstop entertainment. We open with trash ass Minhwan choking out Jiwon (!!) before Jihyuk swoops in to save her. Jiwon ends up unconscious, Minhwan and Jihyuk land in jail, but Seokjun and Jooran come through to save the day. Minhwan spirals further into desperation, while Soomin finally meets Yoora. Minhwan hatches a wild plan: cash in on U&K’s spousal insurance by killing Soomin (with Yoora’s help). Jiwon and Jihyuk trick Soomin into catching Minhwan and Yoora in bed, then Minhwan snatches Soomin away to a cabin for one last evil act…except plot twist — Soomin kills him! The episode ends with Soomin on the run, ready to plot her final revenge against Jiwon. Oh, and we take a fun deep dive into BoA, the K-pop queen who brings evil Yoora to life. Announcements:We just launched our official fan club - Club Sarangees - on Substack!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Sarangees! We’re down to the wire—just two episodes away from the finale—and episode 14 of Marry My Husband is another wild ride. Jiwon and Jihyuk discover that Jiwon’s fate has shifted onto Jooran, forcing them to hatch a new plan to redirect destiny back onto trash-ass Minhwan and hussy Soomin. Jiwon and Jooran team up for a sting operation to expose Jooran’s cheating husband, and in the process, Jiwon saves her life. Meanwhile, Jiwon seduces Minhwan, which pushes him to ask Soomin for a divorce. Yoora is still spiraling in full villainess mode—this time targeting Soomin’s parents (!!!). And when Minhwan realizes Jiwon has been playing him all along, he snaps and tries to kill her. It’s betrayal, revenge, and chaos at every turn. Plus, the unnies break down the drama’s unforgettable OST. Announcements:We just launched our official fan club - Club Sarangees - on Substack!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! Episode 13 is here, and the chaos is next level! We begin with announcements, and Dulcé shares how she enjoyed “Tastefully Yours” (which Chrissy couldn’t finish). Then, the recap begins with Jiwon racing a bloody Jihyuk to the hospital after the truck of doom hits him. But then—plot twist—we rewind six days earlier to see how we got here. Enter scheming Yoora, who slithers her way to Minhwan and strikes a deal: she’ll hand him and Hussy Soomin a fortune if they help destroy Jiwon. We learn the truth about Soomin’s dad and Jiwon's mom, and then Soomin convinces them to execute the Jiwon murder plot. Learning the truth, Jiwon confronts Soomin about their childhood. Jooran discovers her trash ass husband is cheating on her, and then finally, Jihyuk wakes up from his coma. Plus, we deep dive into K-pop artist Lee Gi-Kwang, who plays our poor Eunho. Announcements:We just launched our official fan club - Club Sarangees - on Substack!

Trash ass Minhwan and his family are still reeling from their awkward meal with Jiwon, but our girl isn’t done yet! She publicly obliterates Minhwan for being a cheating loser (red panties are involved!), and his affair with Hussy Soomin is exposed in the most dramatic way ever. Just when you think it can’t get messier, Soomin fakes a pregnancy, and Minhwan actually proposes. And THEN — deep breath — Jiwon finally confesses to her Darcy-nim.

LIVE SHOW in LA on Sept 1! Get your tickets here! We’re back with Episode 9 of Marry My Husband, and it’s a wild one! Enemies are evolving in this timeline as Jiwon turns up the heat on her revenge game. Trash ass Minhwan proposes to Jiwon at the U&K villa during her birthday party. Meanwhile, our vengeful hussy Soomin pulls a full-on fake drowning stunt to trap Jiwon. We also get a petty showdown at cooking class with Jiwon’s ex-mother-in-law, and a super ridiculous family dinner where Minhwan’s family meets Jiwon. We end with an iconic judo flip that deserves to be in the K-drama hall of fame. Plus, the unnies dive deep into actress Song Ha Yoon, who plays Soomin. Live Event Schedule: Monday, September 1 at 7:30pm - Live Podcast Taping at The Improv in Los Angeles, CATicketsRecorded on 7/21/250:00 - Intro1:26 - Recap begins3:40 - Opening Scene: Minhwan’s 2nd Proposal 8:36 - Soomin’s drowning attempt15:29 - Girl What moment: Soomin hides in Minhwan’s bed20:16 - Jiwon tells Jihyuk about Soomin’s drowning attempt23:23 - Jiwon announces her engagement27:05 - Jiwon and Minhwan plans family dinner30:27 - Soomin’s gift to Jiwon33:28 - Segment: Song Ha Yoon Deep Dive43:14 - Minhwan’s mother and the cooking class49:30 - Seokjun saves the day52:10 - Jiwon’s shopping spree56:28 - Minhwan’s crazy family59:00 - Jiwon meets Minhwan’s family1:08:08 - Jiwon judo flips Minhwan1:12:15 - Final Thoughts1:16:39 - Closing For video episodes, watch us on YouTube!For bonus content, newsletter, and other goodies, join our CLUB SARANGEES fan club for $6/month! chasingkdramas.substack.comFollow us on Instagram, TikTok, and all of our socials. For live events, merch, and updates go to chasingkdramas.com.Got comments, suggestions, or just want to say hi?
