Ep 57: The Lady in Dignity and Pee Pee Stains with David Ayala

[Spoiler Alert] In this episode of K-Drama School, Grace discusses the show The Lady in Dignity (JTBC, 2017), which as of January 2022, is in the top 20 highest viewed cable K-drama series of all time. Grace talks about Kim Hee-sun’s second wave in her post-marriage/child birth acting career, Kim Sun-a as the anti-heroine and how K-dramas need to make more anti-heroine shows without killing them off or punishing them. Grace’s guest is LA-based comedian David Ayala (@davidayalasok on Instagram). They talk about David’s auteurship on his new variety series which is currently in production, how one should always get fired or laid off from a job—never quit, prioritizing play for creativity, almost throwing up in midst of positive affirmations, wetting the bed, edging, how Pineapple Express made David want to be a comedian, anime and manga fandom, how our bodies renew completely every 10 years, and doing stand-up as a thirteen-year-old at a jazz club to dead silence. This episode has cameo appearances made by Bing Bong (Sofia Coppola) the cat and Cammy the dog. Follow @KDramaSchool on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. Visit kdramachool.com to learn more.
