Here are Evie's top ten favourite kdramas (as of recording in mid-2022) and be warned ... her choices are weird? But she can't help it! These are the Korean dramas that will forever own her heart!!!
May 19, 2022•2 hr 3 min•Ep. 129
Lose your eyes, find your eyes, lose your eyes, and then turn into a big demon smoke, because this week on the show Evie is chatting about the 2021 fantasy romance kdrama RED SKY LOVERS. Starring the beautiful Kim Yoo-jung, Ahn Hyo-sep and Gong Myung, with a fun villain played by Kwak Si Yang, this historical Korean drama started with a bang (so charming, so fun, so swoony!) and then (in Evie's opinion) sort of ended with a small whimper. Buckle up and be warned, Evie didn't adore the end of thi...

Grab some illegal moonshine liquor and then take over the Joseon gangster underworld, all while falling in love with the man hunting you, because this week Evie is chatting about the absolute joy of a historical Kdrama rom-com MOONSHINE, also known as When Flowers Bloom, I think of the Moon. This 2022 fun and fizzy adventure sageuk stars Hyeri as the coolest criminal around and Yoo Seung-ho as the police investigator trying to arrest her (obviously he falls in love with her instead! Brilliant!)....

Star in a documentary with your worst enemy and bicker your way to love, because this week Evie is chatting about the charming romance kdrama OUR BELOVED SUMMER from 2022. This one was sweet, gentle and romantic, and stars the very cute Choi Woo-sik, Kim Da-mi, and Kim Sung-cheol. This one felt like a summer breeze!
Apr 28, 2022•1 hr 21 min•Ep. 126
Climb a mountain, fight a crime and then turn into a ghost (?!) because this week on the show Evie is chatting about the 2021 thriller kdrama JIRISAN. This action and supernatural mountain rescue Korean drama (what a weird genre!) stars Jun Ji-hyun and Joo Ji-hoon, and a whole lot of timelines (four timelines, right?) and is a twisty, twisty show that requires rather a lot of thought! Evie thoughts it was ... fine. It was okay. Visit Evie's Patreon to support the show and for extra episodes: www...

Fall asleep and then choke the woman you love (nearly to death!) because this week on the show Evie is chatting about the 2021 romcom kdrama LET ME BE YOUR KNIGHT. Starring Lee Jun-young and Jung In-sun, this fluffy Korean drama about idols and mistaken identity didn't quite hit the mark for Evie. Actually ... she sort of hated it. Ranty rant ahead.

This week, Evie is chatting with Gee about the first episode of the spectacular TALE OF NOKDU, a 2019 sageuk romantic comedy kdrama, starring the wonderful Jang Dong-yoon and incredible Kim So-hyun, that is one of Evie's favourite dramas ever.

Draw a handsome webtoon man and then marry him (and then get shot!) because this week on the show, Evie is chatting about the twisty fantasy romance kdrama from 2016 called W: TWO WORLDS APART. This Korean drama stars Lee Jong-suk as a flirty webtoon and Han Hyo-joo as his very confused love, and it is fun, thrilling and very unique. What a wild ride!

Go to school to learn but get bitten by a zombie instead! This week on the show, Evie is chatting about the rather spectacular 2022 chaotic zombie high school kdrama ALL OF US ARE DEAD. This one was thrilling and scary, and also left a hollow ache in Evie's stomach at the end ... boo hoo. It stars excellent actors Yoon Chan-young, Park Ji-hu, Cho Yi-hyun and Lomon, among many others. What a wild (and slightly heartbreaking) ride! Evie loved this Korean drama very much!

Get stabbed up by a needle, then get your brother stabbed up and now you are your brother (!) because this week on the show Evie is chatting about the 2020 sageuk 'girl dresses as a boy' kdrama KING'S AFFECTION. This swoony and also bloody Korean historical drama stars the wonderful Park Eun-bin as a cold icy prince, and the very pretty Rowoon as her secret sweetheart.

This week, Evie is shaking things up and talking about some Chinese drama on her Korean drama podcast show (sorry, haha!) because she recently finished watching the 2021 Chinese youth romance drama A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT and feels obsessed enough to need to unload all her feelings. On you. Oops! Visit Evie's Patreon to support the show and for extra episodes: www.patreon.com/EvieKoreanDramaPodcast

Live in a gothic mansion and disrupt society using a live TV courtroom, because this week on the show Evie is chatting about the social dystopian nightmare that is DEVIL JUDGE. This twisty Kdrama thriller came out in 2021 and stars Ji Sung (as a hero or a devil ... I can't decide!), Jin Young (as a young idealist) and Kim Min-jung (as a batsh*t bonkers woman who almost stole the show!). This drama is filled with huge concepts that feel chillingly close to real life, while still leaning into the ...

Be the best Kdrama EVER and force Evie to get out of bed at 5am every morning so she can sneak in an episode before going to work!!!! This discussion is on the 2019 OCN crime thriller Kdrama WATCHER.

Walk in slow motion with your boy posse and look bloody fantastic in eyeliner, because this week on the show Evie is chatting about the 2021 kpop kdrama IMITATION, which stars the delightful (and very cranky) Lee Joon-Young. This short youth romance Korean drama also stars Jung Ji-So and a lot of idols, and features dancing, dreams and kisses. Evie was OBSESSED with the first half and then felt luke-warm about the second half, but overall, it was a super fun kdrama she is very glad to have watch...

Seduce ten ladies with your special green fog and then turn into a human, because this week Evie is chatting (read: FANGIRLING) over the redonkadonk web kdrama romance from 2020 called KISS GOBLIN. This one stars both Bae In-hyuk and also his dimples, and is both ridiculous and an absolute master-class in creating addictive tropey fun! Evie feels like she probably shouldn't have enjoyed it as much as she did, but oh well, if she can't fangirl on her podcast, then what is this thing even for? :) ...
