[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses Stairway to Heaven (2003, SBS) and the show’s director Lee Jang-soo’s directorial imprint on the “heaven trilogy” shows he helms. Grace breaks down the meaning of “makjang” drama in the context of televisuality and political economy which affected Y2K socio-cultural habits such as spending and consumption in South Korea. Grace then has a chat with her dear friend and hilarious Berlin-based comedian Christoph Schmid (@topf52 on Instagram) about fatherhood to a toddler, how much they hate online comedy, Christoph’s pilot, why Grace turned down a Fox TV offer, addiction to disrespectful men, questions we wished we could’ve asked our angry yet mysterious fathers before they died very suddenly, and how to process grief.
