  • The best

    I started my kdrama obsession in 2023. After trying several podcasts on kdramas, this is the only one I listen to now. The soothing voices of the hosts, their thorough research on each and every issue regarding the South Korean culture, their sense of humor, all draw me in. I learn so much about South Korea through this podcast. Thank you!

(I’m not looking forward to the day when I’m caught up on all episodes…) Their content is pure quality, as well as entertaining – great recaps, insightful anal... more

I enjoy the deep dive and I must say I love the positive way you look at these shows. It is refreshing. Wanted to add that Park Eun Bin is one of my favorite actress. She is such an amazing talent. First saw her in The Kings Affection, which is one of my all time favorites, and have been a fan ever since. But thank you both for your lovely podcast. Espec... more
