Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Happy New Year, Sarangees!

We’re kicking off 2026 with Episode 2 of Dynamite Kiss and WOW, it is already doing the absolute most. Fresh off that explosive first kiss, our leads waste zero time falling hard and heading off on a swoony Jeju-do date. Things get real heated (it’s only episode TWO, y’all!!! 🔥) until the romance comes to a screeching halt when Da-rim gets devastating news: her mom has suffered a heart attack, thanks to her sister being on the run from loan sharks. Chaos!! Da-rim rushes back to Seoul, leaving Ji-hyuk heartbroken and frantically searching for her everywhere. We also learn about Ji-hyuk’s chaebol family drama. Meanwhile, broke and desperate, Da-rim applies for a job at Natural BeBe—yes, that Natural BeBe, owned by Ji-hyuk’s family—while lying that she’s married… with a child. The episode ends with Da-rim and Ji-hyuk locking eyes at her job interview and honestly? ABSOLUTE. CHAOS.

We also dig into fun facts about the drama and wrap things up with our beloved DK Trope Tracker. Buckle up—this chase is just getting started

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! 💋🔥

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. Don’t miss it!

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. Don’t miss it, Sarangees!

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!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees! We’re back from our Thanksgiving break and diving into Episode 8 of Genie, Make a Wish! The mystery gets even twistier as we dig into Genie’s bizarre 20-year memory gap, and he and Ka Young are scrambling to piece the truth together while Angel-nim (aka our psycho angel ajusshi) does EVERYTHING to keep those secrets buried. We finally learn what’s really going on with that creepy kid Hunbish, the squad packs their bags for Dubai, and suddenly we’re meeting more genies than we can keep track of — including Genie’s EX, Jinniya, and his brother Sahara. We learn more about Minji’s love life, Imseon makes her final wish, and Ka Young gets shoved off her favorite cliff and discovers FEAR for the first time. PLUS, we do a deep dive on Ahn Eun-jin, our young Halmoni AND the leading lady from Dynamite Kiss. Queen of range!!!

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. Tune in, Sarangees!
