Chasing K-Dramas

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARANGEES! 🎉 We’re officially ONE YEAR OLD on February 5, and what better way to celebrate than breaking down Episode 6 of Dynamite Kiss together? We kick things off with some reflections on turning one, then dive straight into an episode that sends everyone into a full spiral. Ji-hyuk witnesses that kiss between Seon-woo and Ha-yeong and immediately starts questioning everything…including whether he should finally tell Da-rim the “truth.” Meanwhile, Ji-hyuk and Da-rim’s moms have an ultra-awkward run-in at the hospital (K-drama fate strikes again). Back at work, the MotherTF team defeats the marketing team to launch their tree-planting campaign, which naturally calls for a celebratory team dinner — where Da-rim almost makes a move on Ji-hyuk. Elsewhere, Ha-yeong invites Seon-woo to celebrate her first birthday together, Da-rim collapses at work, and Ji-hyuk enters full hero mode, rushing her to the hospital and making a truly fateful decision.
For our segment, we deep-dive into Woo Da-vi, who plays our beloved chaebol queen Ha-yeong, and of course, we wrap things up with the Dynamite Kiss Trope Tracker!

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 
We’re back with Episode 5 of Dynamite Kiss, and the stakes are even higher as the full love square converges at Natural Bebe. After Ji-hyuk heroically saves Da-rim from the loan sharks, he’s left spiraling over his growing feelings for the very “married” Da-rim, while Seon-woo’s jealousy starts to bubble over. Back at Natural Bebe, Ji-hyuk rescues his team from the disastrous livestream, and the MotherTF crew launches a new project: planting trees at the company park. Ji-hyuk ropes Ha-yeong into finding a photographer, and naturally, she recruits Seon-woo. He joins without hesitation, eager to get closer to Da-rim and keep a close eye on Ji-hyuk. The team heads off on a retreat, chaos ensues, and the episode ends with a surprise kiss and Ji-hyuk once again swooping in to save Da-rim. We also deep-dive into Kim Mu-jun, who plays our bestie, Seon-woo.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 
Sarangees! Episode 4 of Dynamite Kiss might be the tropiest episode yet, with every scene PACKED with ridiculously fun moments as Ji-hyuk flip-flops between wanting Da-rim to stay… and wanting her gone. After Ji-hyuk saves Da-rim from her “drowning” incident at the pool, both he and Seon-woo step in to rescue her from some truly unhinged loan sharks. Despite saving her (and nearly kissing her in a very random closet), Ji-hyuk still insists she resign — until a surprisingly tender bonding moment over their shared love for their moms finally cracks him. Meanwhile, the MotherTF team is forced to pull together a chaotic commerce livestream, all thanks to the scheming J-hye, delivering peak workplace shenanigans including A KISS BETWEEN DA-RIM AND JI-HYUK! The episode ends on full chaos mode: Da-rim is kidnapped, a wild car chase ensues, and Ji-hyuk offers to “buy” Da-rim with his black card. Naturally. We also deep-dive into Jang Ki-yong, the actor behind our ultimate softboy chaebol.

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama! 
Sarangees! Your unnies are back with Episode 3 of Dynamite Kiss, and this is the episode where everything shifts. Ji-hyuk, our sweet, soft-boy chaebol (with EQ!), suddenly flips the switch into bad-boy chaebol, and honestly? We’re not sure how we feel about it! Da-rim officially lands the job at Natural BeBe, and her long-awaited reunion with Ji-hyuk does not disappoint. He’s shocked, furious, and—let’s be real—secretly thrilled to see her. Cue peak workplace drama as Ji-hyuk launches a full-on mission to get Da-rim fired. But our Rimmie is not going down without a fight. Determined to keep her job, she throws herself into the baby bottle testing project with everything she’s got. Meanwhile, Sun-woo discovers that Da-rim lied about being married… to him, just as Ha-yeong starts crushing on him. The episode crescendos with Da-rim presenting her team’s baby bottle report, only for Ji-hyuk to dramatically toss it into the pool. Naturally, Da-rim jumps in after it, and yes, he jumps in to save her. Because of course he does. We also share fun facts about the writers and director, and wrap things up with our DK Trope Tracker. Let the chaos continue!

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
