When K-Drama Goes Meta (by Amy)
Added 2021-09-25 16:01:18 +0000 UTCWelcome, welcome new patrons! Thank you so very much for subscribing. We are thrilled you're joining us to talk all things K-Drama. It's Amy here, and I have to ask if you all love as much as I do when dramas go meta and reference other dramas as little easter eggs for the fans. We are all watching Zombie Detective right now for our upcoming recording, and I am loving all the shout outs to other dramas/movies including Boys Over Flowers and Train to Busan. And I think this is the first time I can say that I'm swooning for a zombie, because Choi Jin Hyuk as a zombie pretending to be human is just everything my zombie-loving heart needs.

My favorite easter egg was putting Kim Eun go in a red scarf in Yumi’s Cells.
