    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!!!

    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 this one.

    127: MOONSHINE overview

    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!). This Korean drama also has excellent appearances from second leads Byeon Woo-seok (charming Joseon prince) and Kang Mi-na (another cool sort of criminal! What a girl!). If you hadn't already guessed, Evie loved this one!

    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!

    Be a manly modern day chef, get sucked into the body of a noblewoman in Joseon Korea, married off to a King with a secret, and ... fall in love? This week on the show Evie is discussing the absolute gem of a 2020 / 2021 Korean drama MR QUEEN. Starring the glorious Shin Hye-Sun in the absolute mind-bogglingly incredible performance of the female (?) lead, as well as Kim Jung-hyun as the regal king, and many many others, including lovely newcomers Na In-woo and Seol In-ah, and always lovely Choi Jin-hyuk in a cameo role. This historical body-swap kdrama is funny, heartbreaking, exciting, hysterical and swoony, and Evie couldn't have adored it more (actually she could have, and she talks about that at length, haha).
