Incheon Into My Seoul

If you're hearing this, travel got in the way of my editing. But I do quickly talk about a fun discussion happing in the cdrama world! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are wrapping up A Shop For Killers Season 2. They feel so short when it's only 4 episodes! Just like this recap! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the penultimate episode for A Shop for Killers Season 2. This is where it all goes bonkers. We've got lies, revenge, traitors, and Rasputin imitators. Seriously, what does it take for some of these people to die? Also, what do you have to do as listeners to get Andrea to stop giving you lessons about Ireland? Do what Q wants to do to Jinman, probably. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pr...

Yes, it should actually be transliterated as eonni, but if we're watching a Netflix show then we're following Netflix's transliteration. Season two continues on as we expand the cast of characters, include Bale's naked butt. I am not comptaining about that scene. I am Donkey saying that that is a nice boulder. There's fight scenes, there's quips, but most importantly, there...

We are fully back from our wee late summer hiatus and we are kicking it off with season two of A Shop for Killers. Most importantly, my wee Korean Teddy Bear aka the gigantic burly bus driver who towers over everyone else is back in an expanded role. After an episode explaining exactly what Jinman was doing while Ji-an was being shot at all last season, the fight between Babylon and murthehelp con...

A wee update before I'm actually back-back after my hiatus! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just jumping with a little update on podcast dates - just realised I didn't sing "See You In September" and am so disappointed in myself - and a relevant news story given we have just finished talking about Mr. Sunshine. Enjoy the short bonus episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Do you get it? Do you get the title of episode? Skyfall lyrics, these come immediately after the first line "this is the end." Sure look it, some times things get stuck in my head and you just have to deal with it. But this is the end! We have made it to the last episode of Mr. Sunshine and it's a doozy. I cut out almost 18 minutes of me just quietly crying into the microphone. Four of them came d...

It is finally the actual penultimate episode! Notes for episode 24 are lengthy, so we're getting two podcasts this week. You'll also get a lot of crying. Sorry, not sorry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As always, love to point out the penultimate podcast of a series and we have reached it for Mr. Sunshine, covering episodes 21 and 22. A series that was an entire year in the making. Along with another short history lesson, Andrea rants about men being horrible husbands and no one paying attention to the travel time between two very different locations. And she attempts to make up for the lack of...

We are so close to the end of Mr. Sunshine. We're talking about episodes 19 and 20, so why not talk about "Mayo for Sam" and historical inaccuracies in Braveheart? It's a match made in long-winded heaven! It is also the official start of the Andrea Cry Count for Mr. Sunshine. How high can we get it before we wrap up Mr. Sunshine? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

While covering episodes 17 and 18 of Mr. Sunshine, we also cover some James Bond, some 1950s children's songs, and why Andrea is making up her own timeline for this series. I read a history book for this series! I can do what I want! Also, the children's song to look up on YouTube: My Brother - Terry Scott The Gnu Song - Flanders and Swann Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informatio...

Andrea takes a bunch of trips down memory lane and occasionally remembers that she's supposed to be talking about Mr. Sunshine, episodes 15 and 16. We start with a pensive discussion about the location of a killer and we end with pensive staring at an eclipse. Both of those involve squinting. In between, there's kneeling, there's crying, there's punishment, there's serious discssions, and there's...

And we are back to our regularly scheduled programing with episodes 13 and 14 of Mr. Sunshine. Not only are they action-packed, but someone other than Andrea actually swears! And we finally meet Jeon Insurance Kang! Well, just Jeon but the red string says I must add the Insurance Kang! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you're hearing this, someone did not find her mic in time to record and edit for a Tuesday post. But instead of the usual "this week will be late and this one will disappear once it is up", I'm doing a quick episode with some corrections from last week and some rants about sport. And it's going to stay up even once the full episode is done! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inform...

With this podcast covering episodes 11 and 12 of Mr. Sunshine we are officially halfway through the series. We talk a little vague Korean history as well as some personal history that indirectly led to the creation of this podcast. There's sassy side characters, there's long looks of love, there's women warring with weapons, and there's Andrea's adventures in alliteration! Okay, that last one migh...

We start with hugs and we end with heartbreak. We're covering Mr. Sunshine, episodes 9 and 10. That means we're talking about backstabbing, traitors, look alikes, drunk (almost) golden retrievers, fantastic lines, and some of Andrea's favourite cinematography! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We continue to learn about love and build friendships (and then tear them apart) in episodes 7 and 8 of Mr. Sunshine. There's multiple gunshot wounds. Some intentional, some accidental. There's decoy ships to Shanghai and mistaken identity between Andrea's favourite "are we sure they're not twins" characters. But most of all, there is a lot of Andrea wishing that four of the characters hosted a tr...

How are we going to celebrate reaching episodes 5 & 6? By having Andrea *bleep* a word that rhymes with hunt... twice. Well done, me. But don't worry, I also go on a rant about the cinematography in one of the scenes. So, some anger, some love, some annoyance about life. A typical episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To kick of Pride month, we're talking glory ho...tels! Yup. Never stopped and giggled over that name! Nope. Not super mature me! We cover three episodes to get us back on track. There's murder, ransacking, eye witnesses that saw nothing, false descriptions, disguises, and questions about the paternity of two of the characters. Seriously. I know it's dodgy for a non-melanated person to say this, bu...

We are back with a full series, and we are finally taking on Mr. Sunshine. So let's talk about The Wind That Shakes the Barley vs Michael Collins. Look, it will all make sense if you listen. We become a temporary amateur history podcast before discussing why inconsistent dates in a historical drama don't bug Andrea, but sailing from Korea to New York City on the same boat before the Panama Canal e...

We're wrapping up this series of stand-alones with a zombie movie because I like zombie movies. We've been over this! Many times! Well, at least three times previously to this. A look at what happens when there's a zombie outbreak and you stay in your apartment all alone, like the authorities tell you to. Would you wait until day 7 to break into your dad's liquor cabinet? [Andrea's answer: nope!]...

For the penultimate episode for this round of stand-alones, we're visiting the XianXia worlds of Chinese fantasy to talk about The Untamed (love the totally platonic bromance *wink*), Eternal Love (love the second couple and a bunch of the side characters), and Feud (love seeking revenge on former lovers who have wronged you)! But what ultimately wins in all of these series? The cosutmes! Is this...

While Andrea tries to limit screentime like she's some sort of toddler, enjoy a repeat episode that is most definitely not created using AI! Good luck to AI replicating whatever it is going on in this brain! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Covering the one Narcos entry that has nothing to do with the other two, so it's only natural we're going to talk about Colombia tourism... in Suriname? We learn the fictional retelling of the real story of one of Korea's largest drug lords... who lived in South America and the untrained undercover operative who took him down. We're also going to discuss the real story, and Suriname's former presi...
