Many fans say K-Drama communities have helped them through difficult times by providing both entertainment and a supportive network of friends who understand their passion.Join Lia, Amy and Megan for a conversation about a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, and how this is a space that offers a sense of belonging and shared experience that enriches our lives through genuine human connection.

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.comToday, we'll be discussing Episode 1 of When Life Gives You Tangerines, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring IU as Oh Ae-sun, and Park Bo-gum as Yang Gwan-sik. We discuss:The song featured during the recap: Midnight Walk by d.ear. The song feels nostalgic and represents Ae-sun's longing for the past.The deeper themes of family, love, and survival that make this show feel unique compared to other historical K Dramas.The emotional opening with an elderly Ae-sun reflecting on the word "eomma" (mom) and how it carries deep significance throughout her life.The realistic and historical setting of Jeju Island, which makes this drama feel different from the more fantastical K Dramas we have covered before.The contrast between the English title, When Life Gives You Tangerines, and the Korean title Pokssak Sogatsuda, which means "You've worked hard" in Jeju dialect.The introduction of young Ae-sun and Gwan-sik and how their childhood relationship sets the foundation for the story.The significance of Ae-sun's mother, Gwang Rye, and her fierce independence as a haenyeo, a female diver of Jeju Island.The rich cultural history of haenyeos, their role in Jeju's matriarchal society, and the challenges they face today due to environmental changes and declining numbers.The economic and social struggles of Ae-sun, who is orphaned at a young age and left to raise her younger siblings, with only Gwan-sik standing steadfastly by her side.The role of gender and social hierarchy in the drama, as Ae-sun is denied opportunities simply because she is a girl.The heartbreaking yet powerful portrayal of Ae-sun's mother, played by Yeom Hye-ran, and her impact on Ae-sun's resilience.The dynamic between Ae-sun and Gwan-sik—his unwavering devotion and her initial indifference, which mirrors her mother's tough love.The visual storytelling of the marketplace scenes, where Gwan-sik quietly supports Ae-sun while she remains oblivious to his sacrifices.The grandmother's disapproval of Ae-sun, believing that daughters inherit their mothers' fate, and how this reflects traditional Korean beliefs.The poetic meaning of the episode title, Spring in a Heartbeat, which speaks to the fleeting nature of youth and the rapid passage of time.Next week, we will recap and analyze Episode 2 of When Life Gives You Tangerines and explore the fascinating topic of Korean drama writers—are most K Drama writers women, and can we tell their gender just by their names?ReferencesHaenyeo - WikipediaThe Last of the Sea Women - Wikipedia

A Faceblind Reporter's Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination.” Our conversation not only delved into face blindness (prosopagnosia) but also covered neurodivergence, aphantasia, and the importance of effective science communication.  We also discussed films and literature centered around Face Blindness: the new NBC series Brillant Minds starring Zachary Quinto, KDramas like Rich Man, Poor Woman, 100 Days My Prince, and The Beauty Inside, and the book Hello Stranger. Not only did Sadie consult on the book, but the author Katherine Center named the lead character after her!

Après la K-food, la K-pop, c'est au tour de la K-drama d'envahir les écrans du monde entier. À l'image des succès Squid Game, The Glory ou Juvenile Justice, les séries coréennes ont en effet le vent en poupe. La plateforme Netflix a bien senti l'engouement de la jeunesse avec pas moins de 37 séries coréennes produites depuis 2019, selon la chaîne YouTube K-drama Research Institute. Le géant du streaming a également annoncé qu'ils consacreraient 2,5 milliards de dollars en programmes coréens pour les quatre prochaines années. De quoi voir venir. Si la romance occupe une place centrale, les K-dramas n'en abordent pas moins d'autres sujets importants : l'importance des liens sociaux, le questionnement du capitalisme ou encore des inégalités. Entre esthétique différente des séries américaines et thèmes universels, comment expliquer le succès des K-dramas hors de Corée ? Et que traduisent les séries de la société coréenne ?Avec : Sylvie Octobre, sociologue, chargée d'études au Département des études de la prospective et des statistiques au ministère de la Culture (DEPS) et co-autrice du livre Les k-dramas, ces séries qui font du bien (PUF, 2024) Vincenzo Cicchelli, sociologue, chercheur au Centre population et développement (Ceped) de l'Université de Paris Cité. et co-auteur du livre Les k-dramas, ces séries qui font du bien (PUF, 2024).Un entretien avec Marine Jeannin, correspondante de RFI à Abidjan sur le succès des K-dramas sur le continent africain. En fin d'émission, la rubrique Mondoblog chez les voisins avec Inès Emprin.Le blogueur mauritanien Cheikh Aidara nous raconte le destin du typha, une plante souvent considérée comme un fléau qui est devenue un moyen de contrer la montée des eaux.Ruben Nyanguila dresse le portrait de Paul Kakoma, le dernier artisan de paniers de son village de Tshikenda, à l'est de la RDC.  La blogueuse malgache Tiasoa nous raconte son voyage à Dubaï.  Programmation musicale : ► Fake Love – BTS 4'00 ► Lego – Winny.

We discuss:How we appreciated the listeners who sent in their recommendations for Season 10 by sending us voice recordings, and sending us emails or messages.How the Crown Prince showed himself to be a different kind of leader when he refused to sacrifice the soldiers to save himself.The plan to lure the zombies to the lake by the rear garden is a risky one because the timing has to be just right. In the end, the Crown Prince pounds on the ice with his hands and then uses the zombie giant to finally break the ice.The miracle that allowed the Crown Prince and a few of his men to be saved when they fell in the water.The amazing Seo-bi, who manages to escape the main hall with the baby prince by using fire and her wits.When the Crown Prince and his men open up the palace gates, the Head Scholar says the baby prince must be found and killed so there won't be chaos in the country.When the Crown Prince finds Seo-bi and the baby, Seo-bi assures him that the baby won't turn into a monster. The prince makes the important decision to save the baby, name him the legitimate heir, and erase himself from the history books. We discuss WHEN and WHY the Crown Prince decides to do this.The amazing cinematography during the battle at the lake and when the Crown Prince walks away from the throne.In the future, we see that the country is freed from zombies once Spring comes, and the young king is being prepared by his wise teachers and guides.The Joseon Dynasty annals, which are so detailed, and from which so many historical K Dramas draw inspiration from.The Crown Prince, now just Lee Chang, along with Seo-bi and a few soldiers, continue to look for the origins of the resurrection plant. They come across the plant in other parts of the country, and then find zombies! Who is behind the continuing spread of this plague?The ending of the show shows the mysterious figure of a woman and a worm snaking across the young king's face.The K Drama elements we saw in this episode, including crying, and protecting someone at personal cost to yourself.The addition of two elements to our list: a water scene and asking someone to speak casually to you.Mapping Kingdom to the stages of the Hero's Journey framework.

In this episode, I break down Wisconsin Volleyball's hard-fought road win over Purdue, played in front of a packed crowd of 14,876 at Mackey Arena and I think we need more volleyball at basketball arenas. I share Head Coach Kelly Sheffield's insights on the Purdue victory and the huge upcoming matchup when Wisconsin hosts Nebraska. Also, hear from freshman setter Charlie Fuerbringer as she shares how young she was when she started playing and what she enjoys off the court. Plus, middle blocker Carter Booth gives us a peek into her love for K-Dramas and why they're her favorite escape. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jon-arias/support
