130: Kdramas with stupid endings - Guest Gabble

It's Guest Gabble time! Lovely friends from patreon are invited to be guests on the podcast today to rant about any kdrama they have watched that had a truly terrible ending. Like, those Korean drama endings so bad they made you wish you'd never watched the show in the first place. Be warned! This episode is a big, spoilery rant! And also heaps of fun! Special guests are: Vani, D, Katherine, Lorna, Lizzie and Delaney :) Thank you so much to these special guests!!

128: RED SKY LOVERS overview

128: RED SKY LOVERS overview

Lose your eyes, find your eyes, lose your eyes, and then turn into a big demon smoke, because this week on the show Evie is chatting about the 2021 fantasy romance kdrama RED SKY LOVERS. Starring the beautiful Kim Yoo-jung, Ahn Hyo-sep and Gong Myung, with a fun villain played by Kwak Si Yang, this historical Korean drama started with a bang (so charming, so fun, so swoony!) and then (in Evie's opinion) sort of ended with a small whimper. Buckle up and be warned, Evie didn't adore the end of this one.

127: MOONSHINE overview

127: MOONSHINE overview

Grab some illegal moonshine liquor and then take over the Joseon gangster underworld, all while falling in love with the man hunting you, because this week Evie is chatting about the absolute joy of a historical Kdrama rom-com MOONSHINE, also known as When Flowers Bloom, I think of the Moon. This 2022 fun and fizzy adventure sageuk stars Hyeri as the coolest criminal around and Yoo Seung-ho as the police investigator trying to arrest her (obviously he falls in love with her instead! Brilliant!). This Korean drama also has excellent appearances from second leads Byeon Woo-seok (charming Joseon prince) and Kang Mi-na (another cool sort of criminal! What a girl!). If you hadn't already guessed, Evie loved this one!

126: OUR BELOVED SUMMER overview

126: OUR BELOVED SUMMER overview

Star in a documentary with your worst enemy and bicker your way to love, because this week Evie is chatting about the charming romance kdrama OUR BELOVED SUMMER from 2022. This one was sweet, gentle and romantic, and stars the very cute Choi Woo-sik, Kim Da-mi, and Kim Sung-cheol. This one felt like a summer breeze!

This is Evie's favourite episode of the podcast EVER!!! It feels magical to know there are other people out there just as obsessed, addicted and in love with kdrama as she is!!! :) Visit Evie's Patreon to support the show and for extra episodes: https://www.patreon.com/EvieKoreanDramaPodcast

99: MY ROOMMATE IS A GUMIHO overview

99: MY ROOMMATE IS A GUMIHO overview

Swallow a supernatural being's 999 year old stomach bead, and then fall in love with him (because his eyes are so pretty!), because this week on the show Evie is discussing the 2021 fantasy romance comedy MY ROOMMATE IS A GUMIHO. This kdrama is beautiful to look at, sweet, romantic and fun, and is dominated by a fun, fizzy performance by Hyeri (who Evie is now obsessed with!) and is also dominated by the pretty faces of both Jang Ki-yong and Bae In-hyuk, as well as a lovely turn by Kang Han-na cutely playing against her usual type. Evie gobbled this sweet fluffy drama right up! Visit Evie's Patreon to support the show and for extra episodes: https://www.patreon.com/EvieKoreanDramaPodcast

98: SCHOLAR WHO WALKS THE NIGHT

GUEST GAB is back, featuring very special guest, Gee, a man who doesn't watch kdrama at all. This is the show where Evie forces him to watch the first episode of a random Korean drama, and then recap it back to her, along with other random games. This week they watched the first episode of SCHOLAR WHO WALKS THE NIGHT, which is a 2015 Lee Jun Ki historical supernatural kdrama about squirrels and severed arms. Weird!

97: YOUTH OF MAY overview

97: YOUTH OF MAY overview

Fall in love and find a new dream, and then attempt to stay alive while a military dictator attacks your hometown, because this week on the show, Evie is discussing the 2021 melo-romance / historical Korean drama YOUTH OF MAY. This kdrama stars the incredible Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si, who both give wonderful performances as star-struck lovers working hard to build a future, only to see it all torn down by the terrifying events that occurred in May, 1980, Gwangju. This drama was beautiful, utterly heart-breaking, and Evie is SO GLAD she watched it! Visit Evie's Patreon to support the show and for extra episodes: https://www.patreon.com/EvieKoreanDramaPodcast

96: SO I MARRIED AN ANTI-FAN overview

96: SO I MARRIED AN ANTI-FAN overview

Throw a shoe at a man and then vomit on the floor ... and then ask him to do a reality tv show with you! This week on the podcast, Evie is chatting about the fun madness that is the 2021 fluffy rom-com SO I MARRIED THE ANTI-FAN. This one stars Choi Tae-joon and Sooyoung, and was filmed back in 2018, but only released in 2021, and it feels very tropey, a little old-fashioned ... and weirdly freaking addictive for Evie. She enjoyed this so much! Visit Evie's Patreon to support the show and for extra episodes: https://www.patreon.com/EvieKoreanDramaPodcast

95: NOKDU FLOWER overview

95: NOKDU FLOWER overview

Grab a bamboo stick and prepare to bleed for your country ... a lot. And then probably die. Because this week on the show Evie is talking about the incredible and incredibly heart-breaking 2019 Korean drama NOKDU FLOWER. This gritty, dark and amazing historical kdrama stars Jo Jung Seok, Yoon Si Yoon and Han Yeri, and ripped Evie's heart to shreds. It is also one of the highest quality dramas she has ever seen.

94: CINDERELLA AND THE FOUR KNIGHTS overview

94: CINDERELLA AND THE FOUR KNIGHTS overview

Clumsily fall over onto a handsome boy at least three times per episode, because this week Evie is discussing the 2016 rom-com kdrama CINDERELLA AND THE FOUR KNIGHTS. This Korean drama is fluffy, silly, cute and completely lacking in plot, and stars the incredible Jung Il Woo and Park So Dam. Evie LOVES these two! Visit Evie's Patreon to support the show and for extra episodes: https://www.patreon.com/EvieKoreanDramaPodcast

GUEST GAB is back, featuring very special guest, Gee, a man who doesn't watch kdrama at all. This is the show where Evie forces him to watch the first episode of a random Korean drama, and then recap it back to her, along with a fun quiz and other random games. This week they watched the first episode of MAN TO MAN, which Gee actually picked himself without having any idea what it was. Evie has never seen this kdrama from 2017, that stars Park Hae-jin as a spy who gets up to many action capers!

91: RIVER WHERE THE MOON RISES overview

91: RIVER WHERE THE MOON RISES overview

Be the coolest and most bad-arse princess in the whole world, then fall in love with a (very) handsome warrior man who reeeeeeaaallly doesn't want to pick up a sword. But just force him to do it anyway! This week on the show, Evie is chatting about the 2021 historical kdrama RIVER WHERE THE MOON RISES, which stars the gorgeous Kim So-hyun, wonderful Na In-woo and a whole bunch of other people. This sageuk is sweepingly epic, tragically romantic, and quite grand in scale. It certainly faced a lot of problems during its run time, and Evie feels quite impressed with what it managed to be, despite the hardships it faced.
