4.14 - Episode 14 of 25, 21

Today, we’ll be discussing Episode 5 of 25, 21, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Kim Tae-ri as Na Hee-do and Nam Joo Hyuk as Baek Yi-jin. We discuss: The songs we heard during the recap: Their Friendship by Yoo Jong Hyun and Will by Byon Dong Wook. Ko Yu-rim’s decision to switch her nationality and fence for Russia because of her family’s financial troubles. Coach Yang’s efforts to secure the best deal for Ko Yu-rim and how devoted she is to Na Hee-do and Ko Yu-rim. How Sung Hee blames Baek Yi-jin for not managing the distance between himself and his friends. Now that he’s broken the story of Ko Yu-rim’s move to Russian, he is deeply unhappy and regretful. How the two most important people in Na Hee-do’s life, her mom and Baek Yi-jin, have hurt the third most important person in her life, Ko Yu-rim. We wonder if it would have made a difference if Baek Yi-jin had NOT been the first to break the story; what if he were second or third? How Na Hee-do and Baek Yi-ji as a couple are so di

5.6 - Episode 6 of Mr. Queen

Today, we’ll be discussing Episode 6 of Mr. Queen, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Shin Hye-sun as Kim So-yong, Kim Jung-hyun as King Cheojong, Seol In-ah as Jo Hwa-jin, Na In-woo as Kim Byeong-in, and Choi Jin-hyuk as Jang Bong-hwan.  We discuss: The songs we featured during the recap: No Touch by Howl and Venus by Moon Jong-up. How this episode was aptly named Between Understanding and Misunderstanding; there are so many misunderstandings between nearly everyone in the palace, but especially between the King and the Queen. That things are very complicated for Jang Bong-hwan since jumping into the lake clearly won’t bring him back to modern day Korea. When the King saved the Queen from the lake, something changed. The King now wants the Queen to live and he wants to try to understand her. The King and Queen agree to do No Touch but they have very different understandings of what No Touch means. The Jo family tries to depose the Queen but the King shows a different side of his char

3.15 - Episode 24 of Mr. Sunshine

Today, we’ll be discussing Episode 24 of Mr. Sunshine, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Lee Byung-hun as Eugene Choi, Kim Tae-ri as Go Ae-shin, Yoo Yeon-Seok as Goo Dong-mae, Kim Min-jung as Hina Kudo, and Byun Yo-han as Kim Hee-sung. We discuss: How we love this final episode of Mr. Sunshine and will miss these characters, whom we’ve come to love and admire! The lovely and amazing music in this K Drama. How the ending is heartbreaking but the show’s creators told us all along that we would have a sad ending. Ae-shin and Eugene have figured out a way to be together, even though they are not really together. Eugene’s final sacrifice is so tragic. He is the man Joseon needed, but didn’t deserve. Eugene’s life mission, as well as Dong-mae’s, was to help Ae-shin live. Hui-seung found meaning in his life, thanks to the people of Joseon. Was Ae-shin’s life path influenced by Dong-mae calling her a spoiled, noble fool so early in her life? Ae-shin is a noble who was respected and revered b
