Absolutely love this podcast. My husband and I are absolutely hooked. We are learning so much about the Korean culture.

Hi, 1st I gush: LOOOOOVE your show. 2nd I opine: Vincenzo for season 12 Why? Song Joong-ki, cool as ice. deep bench of veteran actors developing kpop idol actor Korean themes: overseas adoption, corruption, redevelopment, white truck of doom, splattery bok soo, etc. Character arcs galore, 'hard cases' affected by decent people soften and change. Good guys not so much. Sly easter eggs to other kdramas (CLOY acter Yang Kyung-won is snidely told he looks like a No. Korean soldier.) V.v. funny. An example of Netflix effect. Can’t find an email to send this to, sorry. Pls. not Our Blues right after Tangerines. PLEEEEZ, no! Orig: This podcast adds SO much to my enjoyment and understanding of what’s what in kdramas. Even furiously reading subtitles, I realize there’s a lot more to enjoy thanks to their explanations in these well-edited and -produced podcasts. Wow, ladies, keep up the great work! This is outstanding among kdrama recaps. Next up is See You in My 19th Life and like Kingdom, I trust their taste and am along for the ride!

I look forward to each episode of K Drama Chat. Joanna and Sung Hee provide truly insightful commentary that enhances my K-Drama enjoyment. Even though they admit to watching each episode multiple times, I can tell by the high quality of the discussion that these people are also really smart! I also appreciate the show’s audio quality. Much praise for K Drama Chat’s production engineering. Most importantly, Joanna and Sung Hee have beautiful podcasting voices that are a pleasure to hear. Although they have regular day jobs, they sound every bit as good as if they were broadcast professionals. They speak clearly and at a good pace. Their episodes all share a solid structure, with a recap of the episode, and appreciation of the songs from the original soundtrack, plus discussion of the latest plot complications. Their content is deep. They include helpful background Korean cultural and linguistic information to enhance our understanding. They have clever speculation about where the story might be going. I have sampled quite a few podcasts that cover Korean dramas. This show, K Drama Chat, is by far my favorite.

This is the best kdrama podcast out there. I’ve tried many and this one does the best job. It adds to my enjoyment of the kdrama by going into so much detailed education about the episode, music, actors, etc.. I listen to it each weekend. I appreciate that they take all that time to put together such a great podcast.

Found this podcast after searching for crash landing on you groups. Truly appreciate all the insights and commentary you provide. absolutely love this podcast!

I found your show during Queen of Tears while waiting for episodes to be released and your podcasts filled the void until the next episode. I was searching for anything and everything about QOT and stumbled upon your show. This kdrama has become my second favorite after Crash Landing on You so I’m also enjoying your podcasts on that one as well. Your format (doing a recap of the episodes, highlighting the music and singers, and spotlighting actors/musicians/writers, etc.) provides great background. I enjoy all your insights about Korean culture and the discussions and guests. Where other podcasts may spend 1 or 2 episodes per Kdrama, your deeper dives into each episode is wonderful! You have become my favorite Kdrama podcast and I’ve replayed some of your episodes during my commute to work. Once I can get out of my QOT funk, I’ll have to watch some of the shows you have already done podcasts on so I can listen to those too! Keep up the great work!

The recaps and analysis are spot on, and I love that they highlight the music too.

I discovered your podcast while watching the later episodes of Queen of Tears. I am thrilled to have discovered a well-thought out, well produced and highly entertaining podcast. I appreciate the summaries (so well done) and most importantly, the in-depth discussions. Both of you are so good in diving deeper into what the drama is truly all about - the message, the lessons the writers want to convert, among other things. As the mother of a writer, I really appreciate your insights. Please continue the great work. Thank you!

I found you when I started watching Queens of Tears a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the early episode coverage. Then I couldn’t pause watching so I caught back up with your coverage at 11-12. Can’t wait to rewatch and listen through all your episodes. I could tell you love these dramas and your coverage was detailed. I’m newer to K dramas and this was fun. Now I have back to dramas to watch to see your past seasons. Thanks for the work on this coverage!

I’m a recent bandwagon hopper of Kdrama and now understand the hype. I’ve been listening to recap podcasts after finishing each one and am so pleased to have happened upon this show. I love how they incorporate historical, cultural, and background context to the shows. Certainly very helpful for this newbie to Kdrama. I have a request for you to cover Marry My Husband. Pretty please!

This podcast is amazing. Joanna and Sung Hee do more than just recap and discuss each episode. They do a deep dive into the history, culture, and the language of Korea. And Joanna will let you know everything you want to know about each show’s Original Soundtrack (OST). You will definitely learn something new every time you listen.

My friends and I tend to binge K Dramas. This podcast is the exact opposite. The hosts talk about each episode in depth! It’s so great to hear about things I missed, get the back story and history at the time, and learn a bit of Korean culture and language in the process. I especially love it when they talk about food and clothing! I look forward to every episode! Thank you!

I feel like I know you ladies! I so look forward to your reviews after watching the episodes. I laugh and cry with you… Your nuanced reviews are great and I can tell you do your research. I am learning the Korean language and your podcast has given me many great tips. Your warmth and enthusiasm is palpable in every episode. Kamsahamnida and keep going on!

As I was looking for podcasts that discuss KD’s, I stumbled across this podcast. I love it!! These ladies bring up a lot of great points and discuss topics I often wonder about when watching. This is fantastic!

Loved Mr Sunshine and this podcast helped explain some of the issues that came up. I had no idea of the prior history between the 2 countries. Also how to pronounce the names correctly. Terrific listening. Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a great show too but I don’t know if you need a separate podcast for it, as Mr Sunshine has so much history and scope behind it.

If you are a big fan of K-Dramas, subscribe to this podcast ASAP! It’s the best companion guide for your favorite dramas. You will also learn about Korean culture, history and more.

I thought I was a fan of K-Drama, but this podcast has turned me on to a whole new set of shows. The conversations are great, especially the cultural notes.

I searched for a podcast about the K Drama “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” and found K Drama Chat. I’m so glad I did! I really love how this podcast allows me to relive the shows as Joanna and Jen (and now Sung Hee) “unpack” each episode. I especially appreciate the recommendations so I can add to my “To Watch” list. I look forward to each new episode of K Drama Chat. Keep up the good work besties! Kamsa-hamnida!

Love all the great background, cultural explanations and fun facts on this podcast. The hosts are smart, engaging and passionate about sharing their love of K dramas.

I’ve dabbled here and there with K dramas but never fully committed. After hearing this podcast, I’ve committed and can’t wait to hear the rest of the episodes to follow along!

so fun! joanna and jen are a riot! i never watched k-dramas before this and now i’m so invested in all of them!

Love the host chemistry and analysis, very fun!

What fun! I had no idea KDrama had so many sub-genres and how much I needed it in my life. Thanks J&J.

This podcast gets into what makes KDramas so rich and fascinating: the layers and nuance involved in details that you might otherwise miss. Also the characters and plot are captivating, even more so when you understand the backstories and motivations. Keep it coming!

If you watch K-dramas, this podcast is for you!
