Let’s imagine a very modern rationalization of a fairytale. Cinderella is a super cool stuntwoman and our Prince Charming is a rich CEO of a luxurious department store who wears a lot of tracksuits. Now, imagine that Cinderella and Prince Charming meet a magical witch and end up switching bodies. Intrigued? Well, get comfy and settled for the rollercoaster ride that is Secret Garden.

If you've ever wondered where the craze of K-Pop fandom started, it was long before the boys of BTS came and tore it up. Reply 1997  gives us a great glimpse into the life of Korean teenagers in the late 1990s and what becomes of those teenagers as they enter adulthood and their thirties.

Like the weird and symbolic? Need something short to binge-watch during self-isolation? Introduce yourself to the unusual and unique mind of IU in her short film series Persona.

With the world feeling a little chaotic and crazy right now, sweet desserts and a sweet drama are just what you need to make you feel a little bit better. While not the most substantial of Korean dramas out there, Panda & Hedgehog will give you all the cutesy moments and laughs to feel good. Also, I'm sorry for the long intro but I needed to get those things out. Be safe, be alert, take responsibility and protect each other.

If you haven’t been able to commit to a fluffy, Korean melodrama, why not ease yourself into it with a Korean black comedy film? Academy Award-winning, Cannes Film Festival winner, Golden Globe recipient Parasite is certainly one to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat!

Welcome back to another episode and welcome back to my voice! FYI, I talked a lot. Maybe a bit too much. Anyways, what happens when you have the forces of good and evil battle off in a Korean drama? A WHOLE lot of drama (pun intended). In A Korean Odyssey, we learn that apparently making a contract with an immortal being that has been banished from Heaven can be a good thing. Maybe.

I sincerely apologize for the bad audio on the intro and outro, the horrendous chopping and changing, just overall patched up together podcast. But I hope you can hear past that and enjoy a little trip down memory lane with me with an old audio recording of myself from 2017 reviewing 2 medical dramas: Doctors and Good Doctor. Incredibly fitting since I'm in bed recovering from a bad case of losing my voice and coughing fits currently. I'll be back again with a healthier voice and fresh...

Grab your tissues, chocolate and any other comfort food you need. Uncontrollably Fond is one sad rollercoaster ride of emotion and makes very clear that your parents do not define who you are. Also, I am sick once again so enjoy my nasal ramblings of my Busan adventure as well as the drama review.
