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!

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 analyses, and interesting contextual historical, cultural, and other background that enhance our appreciation of the drama, all articulately communicated with warmth and gentle humor. And I’m totally in awe of the hosts – I can only imagine how much time and effort goes into creating each podcast, on top of being busy full-time professionals. In short, this podcast is a gem!

I am an Asian Drama addict and while I don’t know too many drama fanatics in my day to day, It has been a pleasure finding this podcast. 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. Especially with the weight of the modern world right now, your podcast is a joy, that I am truly thankful for.

To talk about IF Extraordinary Woo for Season Two rumor best idea is to tell story hopefully to return PARK EUN BIN as Woo Young Woo and with first time US actors and UK actors can involve that to cast new main role villain character to hire RALPH FIENNES as Governor Imhotep takes over Hanbada who were all later behind this that fooled every employees even hidden that made tricked one employee to use Woo Young Woo’s brother to take risk to put danger in illegal case, other cast JEFF GOLDBLUM as new Hanbada’s Judge and his daughter Attorney Chloe Hosterman should cast DOVE CAMERON to be new character in Hanbada and best friends with Woo Young Woo. Ralph Fiennes is great villain like Lord Voldemort and Ramses pharaoh to be same sound voice acting for character villain role for gothic demonic high priest as imposter for being Governor Imhotep who is the one all behind this revenge finally found later crime and the one later who murdered Woo Young Woo’s father for jealously blaming his daughter who became popular at Hanbada and the one who kills Senior Attorney Park later after first destroys Grenade bombs that murdered Former Attorney Jung leads to tragedy. It’s up to Woo Young Woo and her peers along with her new best friend Chloe Hosterman and Jun Ho to solve mystery to stop that imposter villain Governor Imhotep to the end.

I found this podcast almost by accident, and to my great surprise it’s become an absolute favorite. The hosts are knowledgeable and down to earth, and K Drama Chat is comfort food for the ears! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this podcast. The hosts give insights and cultural references to every show they cover. I love that they mention things I would have missed, like cultural norms, or translations that aren’t quite the same, or the background of the music used. It adds so much to a show I am watching. I also love how on point they are with their analysis. They don’t get lost in tangents that other, less organized podcasts get mored in. Keep up the good work!

Joanna and Sung Hee’s discussions add so much to my enjoyment of K-dramas. Love them and love their insights. Thank you!!

There are so many cultural, historical, social references that you don’t necessarily notice, know or understand when you watch k-dramas and Joanna Sung Hee can bring so much of that to you during their podcasts. Super witty and entertaining. Strongly recommend to any k-drama fans!

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!

As a newbie to kdrama’s (starting in 2022), I have been searching for quality KDrama reviews. THIS IS IT! This is the very best. The current co-hosts are Joanna Pineda and Sung Hee. Their reviews follow a set pattern, honed over these past few years into a brilliant montage of drama synopsis, cultural references, script translation clarifications, food trivia and nirvana, character traits, actor biographies, all in a wonderful choreography of delicious commentary that is uniquely presented from an Asian American perspective. Throw in a splash of references to other dramas, and you have the recipe for pure enjoyment. If, that is, you are looking for a community of KDrama nerds. I listen to the podcasts during workouts, walks, shopping, and just about anyother time I can squeeze in when I’m not watching KDramas. Strongly recommend with 5 Starts!!!

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

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!
