This week we are celebrating the last few weeks of summer by taking a lovely listener suggestion and talking about the beach and how it is tied to dramas. We talk about the dramas with pivotal scenes, why we think beach scenes are important as a plot device – all of which spirals into Natalia professing her love for the “missed the last ferry/bus” trope.
Let us know: are you a beach person or a mountain person?
*Correction I (Jessie) said Hyungwon was the winner, when it was Kihyun the chicken lover. Forgive me, I’m old.
