I have not completely forgotten my duties to you as a podcaster and I'm not leaving. It's just that this award-winning Korean movie is called "Decision to Leave".

SPOILER ALERT! They're not going to end up together. Is it still worth watching if that were the case? That and more of my thoughts about this Kdrama and other things. Also, I still had lingering thoughts for Once Again which I haven't shared in the previous episode so I had to talk about it in this episode.

Don't worry, the podcast is not ending soon and I'm not thinking of dragging it to failure. I know "the beginning of the end" might have a bad connotation, but it means something else to me right now.

While Dream High 2 doesn't follow the story of the characters from Dream High 1, it brings new stories following the same formula from the first run. In this episode, I talk about a) what Dream High 2 is to me, b) how Kdramas might be influencing my goals and dreams, and c) how copyright music might be an issue for old Kdramas in streaming platforms like Netflix.Disclaimer: I said 김서현 when I actually meant 김수현Here's the YouTube video I mentioned.

This season, we'll discover both old and new Kdramas while also covering special topics such as the episode called "Kdrama subs and dubs" in the previous season. For today's episode, let me introduce you to the world of Korean cults/fringe religion with the help of some insights from Hellbound. What is Hellbound all about?

It's the first anniversary of the podcast. I recorded this short message to express my thanks to all of you and to share some updates ;)

Here's the 4th 이제훈 film that I'm featuring on this podcast. It's a story of an old lady who meets a public service officer who then starts pestering him to teach her English once she found out he could speak good English. The story is more than just that, but you'd have to listen to the episode to know more. Also, this is the final episode of Kingka's 3rd season. I'll be taking a few weeks of rest and you'll hear from me again soon.

Here's the 3rd 이제훈 film that I'm featuring on this podcast. It's a story of a thug-turned-classical singer. It has everything you need: drama, action, romcom, comedy, what else are you looking for? For this episode, I shared a bit about Korean idioms (from Hometown Cha Cha Cha) and my thoughts and opinions about different variations of the Korean language and foreign accents. P.S. I forgot to mention this in the episode, but this is based on a real life story.If you're interested to listen to some of my favorite monologues from previous podcast episodes, check this out: https://youtu.be/a7gh0184KKgUnlike the previous season's show notes, I'm not giving you time stamps this season.Did you like this episode?

This is the 2nd 이제훈 film that I'm featuring on this podcast. It is a boy love short film initially released in 2009. This appears to be the first lead role 이제훈 has ever had. He did good in this film and he keeps improving. Also, are you surprised Korea had a boy love film as early as 2009? There are no right or wrong answers. Just know that love is love is love.If you're interested to listen to some of my favorite monologues from previous podcast episodes, check this out: https://youtu.be/a7gh0184KKgUnlike the previous season's show notes, I'm not giving you time stamps this season.Did you like this episode?

Are Kdrama subtitles botched? Are Kdramas failing in introducing us to Korean culture? Is Squid Game really a different show if you don't speak and understand Korean? Why do you think so? And how do you know that? This episode is a deviation from our regular programming, but I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed fleshing out my thoughts regarding this topic.

I'm opening the 3rd season of Kingka Podcast with a really old movie. Life and Death of the Hollywood Kid is a film released in 1994 and the only reason I had this on my watchlist was that I thought 김혜수 had a significant role in the movie. I was wrong. She only did a cameo. Still, the movie is actually worth watching.Unlike the previous season's show notes, I'm not giving you time stamps today. We also don't have vocabulary words of the week, song recommendation or K-drama words of wisdom. Will we have them in the next episode? We'll see.If you're interested to see the movie, it's currently available on YouTube:헐리우드 키드의 생애 Part 1헐리우드 키드의 생애 Part 2Did you like this episode?
