Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

Sarangees! We're three episodes from the finale, and Episode 13 might be the biggest one yet. It builds and builds, and ends with an actual fire.

We pick up in the aftermath of Dong-eun's public takedown of Sa-ra and Yeon-jin, and the fallout comes fast. Yeon-jin stays defiant and lies straight to Do-young's lawyers, while Sa-ra, all fury and no strategy, screams her way into a jail cell.

Hye-jeong finally plays the secret Myeong-oh recording for Jae-joon, and his response, weirdly, is a marriage proposal. Yeon-jin's mom, still being tailed by Hyun-nam's husband, panics and runs to her shaman for help. Yeo-jeong makes his next move, and it's a big one: he applies for a job at the prison holding his father's murderer.

The walls keep closing in on Yeon-jin. A spicy confrontation with Hye-jeong bleeds into an even worse one with the police officer, who has quietly decided to blackmail her, and casually reveals that Myeong-oh's body has NOT actually been buried.

And then, the grand finale. Dong-eun squares off with her psycho mom, and her mom responds by torching the apartment.

This episode runs long because we included a special “The Glory” Sarangees Hotline segment, where we play your voicemails and read your emails. Thank you to @persianascaribenas, @goodlordasiaford, Anon, Tia, and Rasheedah for sharing! 

Strap in, Sarangees. It's bananas!

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

Hello Sarangees! We're back with episode 13 of The Glory, and OMG, it's getting SOOOO GOOOD. Yeon-jin continues to spiral as she discovers that Dr. Yeo-jeong is the guy working with Dong-eun. Her mom is freaking out over terrifying texts from Hyun-nam's husband. Mr. Bob turns out to be a real big creep, and gets beaten to a pulp by Jae-joon. Jae-joon, then, gets beaten to a pulp by Do-young, who is absolutely enraged (and very sexy) over the fact that Jae-joon showed up at Ye-sol's school acting like he's her father. Do-young FINALLY blows up at Yeon-jin, and it's GREAT.

Dong-eun's mom betrays her AGAIN, leading to one of the most emotional moments of the episode. Dong-eun, while crying her eyes out, gets approached by a crazy-looking Jae-joon, and Yeo-jeong comes to save the day. She doesn't cry for long, though, because the next day, she serves up the SWEETEST revenge on Sa-ra and Yeon-jin. This episode is NUTS, y'all.

Also, we deep dive into Kim Hieora, who plays our bully Sa-ra. Be sure to listen to the end where we have another edition of the Sarangee Hotline. Thank you to @yarrow_s_r for calling in! 💜

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

Sarangees! Things are HEATING UP with Episode 11 of The Glory, and it did NOT disappoint. We open with the aftermath of Myeong-oh's murder, and see how Yeon-jin covered her tracks. 

Then Do-young tells Dong-eun he's not willing to leave Yeon-jin even after learning about all she’s done. Meanwhile, Yeon-jin is SPIRALING after finding out Do-young was emotionally cheating on her. Sun-a leaves for America and  Hyun-nam is brutally beaten by her husband. It's a HEAVY one. 

Jae-joon and Hye-jeong come across evidence tied to Myeong-oh's murder, and Yeon-jin's mom and her detective friend are starting to worry their misdeeds are catching up with them. The walls are CLOSING IN. The episode ends with Dong-eun confronting Yeo-jeong about why he didn't tell her that he knew about Myeong-oh. 

Plus, we have a Sarangees Hotline submission from Katie P. (@katepioch), where she shares her thoughts on Do-young, and we deep-dive into our flight-attendant bully, Hye-jeong, played by Cha Joo-young.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!!

Hello Sarangees!! We're BACK with another action-packed, jaw-dropping episode of The Glory, and Episode 10 does NOT hold back. We open with Do-young visiting Siesta and seeing the dressing room where Yeon-jin and Jae-joon met for their trysts. Yikes. Then Yeon-jin dials up her attacks on Dong-eun. She threatens Hyun-nam into working for her AND tracks down Dong-eun's mother to convince her to find Dong-eun and ruin her life. Dong-eun is STUNNED as her mother shows up and wreaks havoc at her school, reminding her that blood is thicker than water. The audacity!! 

Meanwhile, Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong lure Hye-jeong into bringing Yeon-jin to Yeo-jeong's clinic, where Hye-jeong lets it slip that Dong-eun's been playing go with Do-young. Then we find out Yeo-jeong was visited by the police, because he was the LAST person who spoke to Myeong-oh before he disappeared. And finally... Yeon-jin comes in for treatment at Yeo-jeong's clinic, and while she's under anesthesia, we FINALLY see what happened between her and Myeong-oh the night he was attacked!!

Get ready, y'all. It's nuts. 

We also do a deep dive into our Hyun-nam, played by the incredible Yeom Hye-ran.

Welcome to YOUR Korean drama podcast!

Sarangees, we're BACK with Episode 9 of The Glory and this one does NOT let up. So much happens, we don't even know where to start. Myeong-oh's "disappearance"? Officially a criminal case now. Yeon-jin and Do-young face off in Dong-eun's insane war room, and Dong-eun actually gives Yeon-jin another chance (we'll see how that goes). Meanwhile the bullies start turning on Yeon-jin over So-hee's mysterious death, which, yes, we are HERE for. And then there's Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong playing house and Dong-eun catching feelings in real time. We are not ready. Yeon-jin keeps digging into Dong-eun's past, and the episode ends on the most insane cliffhanger yet: her walking right up to Hyun-nam. INSANE. We screamed. Plus, we're deep diving into bully Son Myeong-oh, played by Kim Gun-woo!
