Incheon Into My Seoul

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...

The first stand-alone episode of our new batch is on the sci-fi series, The Silent Sea. Learn exactly how much Andrea loves sci-fi... and who you can blame for that. Hint: it's my stepmum. Blame my stepmum. Her choice 36 years ago is directly responsible for this episode. You're welcome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm not abandoning the podcast, just some good life news means the next few weeks are going to be busy, so a quick life update, a repeat episode, and a few new stand-alones in the works for the weeks ahead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Due to reasons, we're doing a repeat of the Train to Busan episode. Relive Andrea ranting about dickish COOs, spoiled endings, and politics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're recaping the last two episodes of Resident Playbook with cameos from our golden retrievier and teddy bear, and zero references to rugby! We do, however, dip our toes into kpop (and cpop) territory. We've got relationships developing, residents trying to woo interns to their departments, important decisions, some just desserts, and, as always, a few tangents. So many tangents. It's like the h...

This episode totally dropped on time to discuss episodes 9 and 10 of Resident Playbook! I wasn't a slow as Molasses dropping the pretend nice act in case the cameras are still rollowing in getting it out. No, siree! We've got a closeted Um Jay fan, a proxy war fought through the first years, and what might be Andrea's favourite cameo!! (Okay, it's not. My favourite one is coming, but it's a close...

It's episodes 7 and 8 of Resdient Playbook! We've got missed flights. We've got mother's staying in her daughter's hospital. We've got foreigners who only speak Russian. We've got a possible love V and the dismantling of a 10-year crush. And, most importantly, we've got Andrea not talking about sports for once! What more could you want? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Andrea starts her recap of Resident Playbook epiodes 5 and 6 with a Six Nations Rugby discussion, like all good Kdrama podcasts should! We're back! It's time to vent about Molasses like we're Nam-kyung venting to a patient! It's time to swear like our husband just told us we're going to wait two months and then try for a boy. It's time to second guess our life decisions like we're Um Jay looking a...

It's episodes 3 and 4 of Resident Playbook and Andrea can't remember the nicknames SHE MADE UP! Angus is totally the same as Agnes, right? And 20 weeks is the same as 20 months... if you're an Icelandic Shark! There is laughter, tears, references to elementary school teachers, tears, references to high school teachers, tears, and just to top it off, some more tears. There's a reason it starts with...

We're back with a new series, Resident Playbook, a spin-off of Andrea's beloved Hospital Playlist. It's the show that asks the questions what would it be like if robots became doctors? If anti-social people with crippling debt took up a resident position? If a former kpop idol was actually kind of annoying but endearlying so? All these questions and more answered as we dive into the first two epis...

We've done it! We've reached episodes 11 and $&%# 12 of When the Phone Rings. Look. I'm not saying that this episode did me in, but I did try and upload it without an attached audio file. Twice. Listen as Andrea loses her ever loving mind about entering an active war zone as a civilian in clothing you would wear for a nice day out! Be there when she cackles uncontrollaby about telling other pe...

We are nearing the end of When the Phone Rings, so Andrea takes a moment to gush about Park Jae-Yoon's acting. Also, a quick nod to Yoo Yeon-seok, but really, Park Jae-Yoon stole the whole series for her. Also, the parents are still horrible, eels should not be used in children's mobiles, and a few rewritten song lyrics. Let's recap episodes 9 and 10! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mor...

We're back covering episodes 7 and 8 of When the Phone Rings, covering such topics like is anyone in this series an adult? Why are we still flogging this dead horse? And is Baek Sa-eon secretly Charles Boyle? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Andrea needs to do a Search and Rescue for episodes 5 and 6 of When the Phone Rings because what the fark was that?!?! From underwhelming dresses to flogging a dead horse on a storyline that should already be done, there are a lot of growls of frustration in this podcast episode. Hosted on Acast.
