    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

  • K-dramas Deligt

    My wife and I got hooked on K-dramas last year via Netflix.

    After searching for a podcast to help fuel our obsession, I stumbled upon this gem of a show.

    I love the insight, enthusiasm, and overall pure joy these three ladies have for K-dramas.

    As long as these hosts stay together, this podcast will stay in my rotation.

    Keep up the great work ladies.
