• K-Drama School – Ep 194: When Life Gives You Tangerines and Letting Love Win with Will Franken

  [Spoiler Alert] Happy Pride Month! Grace discusses the show When Life Gives You Tangerines (2025, Netflix) written by Lim Sang-choon starring IU, Park Bo-gum, Moon So-ri and Park Hae-joon directed by Kim Won-seok. Grace compares the show to the Reply series and how they utilize nostalgia triggering materials and historic markers to hail Korean audiences with retro items. Grace also offers a thorough update as to why she hasn’t been podcasting—mostly because she’s been adjusting to a whole new life in Wisconsin involving fishing, firearms and teaching. Her guest today is Madison-based comedian Will Franken (@frosty_franken). They talk about the pointlessness of higher education the way it stands, what a good teacher is, how the word “conservative” has changed over the centuries, and which Madison bars on State Street are the worst.
