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.

In Hometown Cha Cha Cha there is an amazing scene that directly references Kim Seon Ho's participation in the variety show 2 Days, 1 Night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQiRahtYCfo

Same for me (Amy)! I was so wrapped up on Gong Yoo throwing his popcorn that I didn't even realize it was Train To Busan until my second watch. And it made me love the drama even more.

I actually completely missed they were watching Train to Busan the first time I saw that episode of Goblin. I was too busy laughing at Gong Yoo's antics, I think, haha, -Megan

I really enjoy seeing actors that I have come to recognize from other shows. Occasionally I catch on to the "Easter egg" thing....like in Goblin when they are watching Train to Busan....hilarious.
