Love this podcast. Brought to you by 2 professionals and their friends. Compared to other k drama podcasts, the ladies who produce this are mature and well spoken. Rather than a group of friends getting together and talking about their lives and discuss the episode, the duo goes deep. The additional researched content that they share is something I absolutely love. If you’re looking for a podcast that breaks down the episodes with cultural and history context then this is it.
I have been searching for a podcast that breaks down episodes of my favourite show and I really appreciate the varying perspectives of Joanna and Sung Hee. I appreciate their insights and love for the genre. Highly recommend for K-drama fans!
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!
Excellent podcast, long time listener! Well-prepared, cozy discussions on Korean dramas. Also great community of listeners and fans.
This podcast with Joanna and Sung-Hee is hands down my favorite kdrama podcast – and has spoiled me for other podcasts! I discovered it when searching for content about When Life Gives You Tangerines, and I was hooked. I’ve even put kdramas on my watchlist that weren’t necessarily on my radar just because they were covered on the podcast. (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
