Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

It's time for episode 8 of The Glory, Sarangees! This was the final episode of Part 1 of the series, and it did NOT let up! So many things happened, and just when you thought things couldn't get crazier, they do. First, we open with Hye-jeong begging Dong-eun to forgive her — she's willing to go to Dong-eun's side as long as Dong-eun doesn't tattle on her to her future mother-in-law. Dong-eun and Jae-joon have an explosive confrontation where we learn more about how he bullied Dong-eun back in the day. Do-young decides to investigate on his own, meeting with Hye-jeong privately with a very special gift. Jae-joon wants Yeon-jin to leave Do-young for him, and Do-young confronts a very defiant Yeon-jin about her dark past. Yeon-jin investigates Dong-eun, leading her to break into Dong-eun's war room — and then Do-young walks in on her. It's NUTS, y'all!

For this week's segment, we deep dive into Jung Sung-il, who plays our dreamy Do-young.

Hold onto your hats!
