I was looking for a good kdrama podcast and I found it! Emily and Raquel say almost everything I'm thinking when I watch and want to discuss with others.
I like listening to your conversations and thinking about Kdrama together. Your voice quality is very very good, and that’s a rarity.
I saved all the kdrama I watched that you discussed cause it’s so comforting to listen to.
Thank you for creating this podcast!^^
This podcast is different from my other two favorites: Lee Evie and Afternoona Delight, in that these hosts really discuss dramas episode by episode. I love it that they are organized, prepared, never say “um” or just laugh to fill time. They are fun to listen to and helpful with breaking down some more complicated plot twists. Keep up the great work!
Just found this podcast after searching for Crash Landing on You, my gateway podcast to kdramas. Love your friendship and the deep dive into podcasts.
Okay so I’ve only listened to a couple episodes so far since I just found my first K Drama (Crash Landing On You), and these girls have a great rapport, and it feels like I am sitting in the living room and chatting with them while we all gush over the episodes being covered!
Great job girls, as a cohost of my own podcast about Turkish dramas, it’s fun to be on the listening side of a podcast that covers a show I love.
Big hugs!
