[episode: 1/17/22 When Dramas Ruin you for Real Life] Your mention of my beloved Shut Up, Flower Boy Band inspired me to drop everything and express my general, heartfelt thanks: I’ve listened to many good podcasts about Asian drama and music. DOF is, by far, the most articulate, engaging and consistently informative. I’m making my way through every episode. Anisa, Paroma and Saya: again, thank you!

I have really been enjoying this podcast, especially the analyses of all of the hosts. you can tell they care about the work and effort they put into this podcast.

This podcast got me through the pandemic. Their analyses are ALWAYS thought provoking and sometimes hilarious. I particularly love Paroma’s insights and wit! Saya is intelligent and loves darker fare while Anisa has knowledge of the Korean language. I also adore their BTS appreciation.

I really like the discussions these hosts have about k-dramas. They go a bit deeper than other podcasts and each bring unique perspectives. Definitely worth a listen for the k-drama fan!

When entering the world of k-drama, viewers could ask for no better guides than Anissa, Saya, and Paroma. These wonderful ladies provide recommendations, reviews, and cultural context for k-dramas and the world of the k-drama industry. They are long-time viewers who love Korean drama, but aren’t afraid to let you know when the dramas could have done better, whether in the writing, character development, or themes presented. Come and enjoy their yaks! You won’t be disappointed.

I was searching for a podcast to help me process a couple of K dramas that haunt me still. This one is by far the most interesting, nuanced and intelligent. There’s something about the conversational format that brings out unexpected insights. I also appreciate the literally global viewpoints and perspectives. This podcast has demonstrated to me, a Korean-American, why K dramas have become the international phenomenon they are and why they are worthy of being evaluated as works of art. Brava!

What a joy of a podcast! To be honest, I haven't been keeping up with kdramas, but I enjoy listening to Saya, Paroma, and Anisa so much that I stay updated with the podcast episodes despite not watching any of the dramas! It's really fun to listen to them discuss dramas, life, and the broader sociopolitical context. Highly recommend!!

Excellent analysis-goes deep beyond just a critique of the entertainment value of a show. Entertaining, smart conversation. I turn to this show both for recommendations about to watch next, as well as to help me think through some of the larger issues portrayed in the dramas. Highly recommended!

I am so impressed with this podcast! This is the kind of in-depth drama commentary and analysis I’ve been looking for. These ladies know their stuff, and I love their perspectives. So good!

The hosts this podacst have a prodigious knowledge of world dramas with a particular focus on kdramas. This podcast is a great source for discussions about the dramas being aired in Korea in the context of prior kdrama productions. They present an insightful, global perspective about these shows, the news and issues in the industry and fan communities that have arisen among people who love these shows but who do not necessarily speak Korean.

K-Dramas probably make up 90% of the television that I watch. None of my friends or family have any interest, though. It often feels like I’m totally alone in my fandom. I just love listening to this group chat and sometimes disagree😆 about something that I so enjoy. I may be the only K-Drama fan on my block, but this podcast reminds me that I’m certainly not the only one in the world🤗.

I love this podcast. It’s informative, honest, and funny. I love the various view points presented as well as the drama recommendations. If you are a kdrama fan I would definitely recommend this podcast.

This is great fun, I am enjoying it. Thanks Pocasters!

This is a great podcast of friends having a chat about kdramas. Sound quality occasionally has some issues, but it is worthwhile to stick through them.
