What Are Korean Variety Shows?

Today, we will finally be covering one of K-Pop’s most popular girl groups, Blackpink. We waited to talk about Blackpink because we wanted to know where they were going to land once contract negotiations ended with YG Entertainment. So now that we know what's going on with 3 out of the 4 members, we thought it'd be a great time to talk about them.

When we saw the promotions for one of Netflix's new K-Dramas, Doona!, we just knew we had to call our friend Jess from Daebak K-Rambles Podcast to discuss it, especially as a follow up to our joint episode on Dream High! This episode is not a typical review of the K-drama as that's not what we do here, but we DO have some key angles we wanted to touch on: Bae Suzy's growth (or lack thereof) as an actress in the 13 years since Dream High came out The way Doona! touched on idol struggles (or didn't...) The fanfic feel of it all The Webtoon POV and the (questionable?) choices made by the author both for the webtoon and the screenplay We had a blast going IN on the show with our friend Jess, and we're so thankful to her for joining us on this episode!
