Annyeonghaseyo! We’re three best selling American novelists who explore the wonderfully wacky world of K-Romance through a writer’s lens. We fangirl over our favorite characters, debate our favorite tropes, and nerd out through K-drama deep dives. Expect a few K-pop and K-skincare recs for good measure, because why not ride the Hallyu wave all the way to shore? So grab some Tteokbokki and listen t... more

Shameless plug for the Patreon. I’ve made kdrama friends and met up for kpop concerts, fan meets and a BL pocket of friends. Subscribe and connect to joy! Thank you, Noonas.
Insightful, interesting drama banter by 3 authors, very individual tastes. I love most genres, so very fun to hear their different takes. Some delightful personal storytelling, some not-so-delightful, rather dark political sidebars. Detracts.
Funny, smart and insightful. Love listening to these ladies talk about the kdramas no one else in my life watched! Also a great community!
Not impressed with the discussion content. I wanted to discuss when his love for Jina began. Had he always had a crush on jina and decided to persue her. Totally off the subject matter talking about KDramas around the same year. So. Ye Jin and Jung Hae in fabulous actors. Fabulous
What a great series. Sun Jae - thank you for being alive. Another great review by Amie and Megan. Was missing the deep dives and this drama needs a good discussion. Thank you.
