April 18, 2021 10:00 - 37 minutes - 62.4 MBDesignated Survivor: 60 Days is a Korean adaptation of an American TV Series called Designated Survivor. While I haven't seen the original, this K-drama stands on its own and delivers a message unique to its own. For me, the call is let's get political (or at least not be apolitical).

April 11, 2021 10:00 - 40 minutes - 65.6 MBThis Kdrama is not for the fainthearted. It's a psychological thriller based on a webtoon and is translated on screen with supreme creativity.

April 04, 2021 10:00 - 39 minutes - 65.1 MBWhat I thought to be a flowery romcom kdrama turned out to be a kdrama masterpiece having a perfect balance of drama, romance, comedy, and suspense. Yes!

Happy Ending 해피엔딩 - True Beauty 여신강림 (Take 2)
March 14, 2021 10:00 - 37 minutes - 59.1 MBHere's my final take on this high school romcom called True Beauty. I have yet to watch its "happy ending" but I've already recorded this episode anyway because I'm running late on my schedule. LOL. Have you seen this Kdrama? Share your thoughts on my socials if you wish to. There are SOME SPOILERS in this episode. It'd be best to watch the drama before you listen to this episode, if that's your thing. 00:00 monologue, introduction, greetings 03:55 weekly vocabs and study tips!!! ...
Bring it on! Let's fight! 덤벼라! 싸우자! - Kkondae Intern 꼰대 인턴
March 07, 2021 10:00 - 37 minutes - 61.4 MBKkondae Intern is an office comedy drama for all generations. It has a good touch of drama and comedy as well as a few tips on how to succeed as an employee or as a manager. It's not equivalent to a business book for employees and managers, but it is definitely worth your 12+ hours of laughter and tears. I watched this with my family! There are SOME SPOILERS in this episode. It'd be best to watch the drama before you listen to this episode, if that's your thing. 00:00 monologue, i...

You are just a group of shameless thieves 너희는 그저 파렴치한 도적떼일 뿐이다 - Mr. Queen 철인왕후 (Take 2)
February 28, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 69.5 MBBy far, Mr. Queen is my favorite historical drama and at the same time my favorite comedy K-drama. Also, the longest K-drama monologue I have done so far is in this episode. It's the monologue that resonated with me the most. I think I'd keep the things I've learned from this drama for quite a long time. There are SOME SPOILERS in this episode. It'd be best to watch the drama before you listen to this episode, if that's your thing. 00:00 long monologue (haha) , introduction, greet...
No colors stay the same 색은 한순간 똑같이 않잖아 - Color Rush 컬러 러쉬 | A Korean BL Drama Review
February 21, 2021 10:00 - 35 minutes - 55.8 MBHere's to my first BL K-drama review! This seems like a really new genre in the K-drama world and we'll see if it gets developed from here on. More than the story being a BL, Color Rush has a very interesting lore and there's so much more left unanswered. If you were to ask me, this show deserves a second season just so we could explore its world more. There might be SOME SPOILERS in this episode. It'd be best to watch the drama before you listen to this episode. 00:00 monologue, ...
Everything is precious in its own place 다 자기 자리에서 다 소중하다 - Space Sweepers 승리호 | A Korean Movie Review
February 14, 2021 10:00 - 39 minutes - 69.7 MBIn so many years, this is the only movie that I've seen twice within a month. Partly because I have to feature it on the podcast and I also wanted to watch it with my family members. 승리호 is a really good space movie and I actually wish we'd see more of what their 2092 earth looks like in more detail. We've only seen the Space Sweepers, but we haven't seen much about those who were left on earth. It'd be a good movie, too. Just saying this here because I forgot to mention it in the e...

January 31, 2021 10:00 - 43 minutes - 70.5 MBIt's the beginning of the SECOND SEASON!!! YAAAY!!! In this episode and in next week's episode I'll be featuring the kdrama Run On.

There are some SPOILERS in this episode. It would be best to listen after having watched the show if you don't like spoilers. 00:00 monologue, introduction, and some updat...

I wanted to become the person that you want 네가 원하는 사람이 되고 싶은데 - 스타트업 Start-Up (Take 1)
December 20, 2020 10:00 - 42 minutes - 65.8 MBI really love this show and so I finished watching everything in just ten days! Still, a single episode is not enough to express everything I want to say so I'm doing two takes for Start-Up and this might be the format for all K-dramas we are going to watch in the future. So this is the first take and I won't say anything about the leads just yet. I wanted to put focus on the characters that don't really get talked about a lot. Check out the full show notes below for more details. ...
