Drama Watch 9 April 2025

In conversation with absoluteM

0:23 absoluteM lists the dramas she’s been watching on various platforms: When Life Gives You Tangerines, Undercover High School, Buried Hearts

2:48 absoluteM delves a little more into Buried Hearts’ storyline and characters — a a makjang that she found engaging.

5:02 Our discussion of When Life Gives You Tangerines begins. At the time of recording I’d only seen 2 episodes.

14:04 We review Undercover High School, the recently completed spy comedy with Seo Kang-joon and Jin Ki-joo in lead roles. Praise was also given to Kim Shin-rok who played the show’s primary antagonist, Seo Myeong-ju.

18:49 I go off on a rabbit trail about the drama’s themes dealing with how elites turn into oligarchs or technocrats. Or even tyrants. We also go into the place of the romance in the plot.

33:12 I ramble on about Tan Jianci’s latest C drama, Filter — a funny fantasy romance that I’m still watching and enjoying. I give a spoiler free review.

46:05 The latest douyin drama fad — The transmigrated noblewoman who ends up in the body of a 21st century rich daughter and catches the eye of the bored but very single CEO.

53:07 absoluteM talks about what else she’s watching: The Divorce Insurance and Hyper Knife.
