Fun if you hate K-Dramas
I have very mixed feelings about this podcast. In essence it is fun and the format of a group of friends casually discussing K-dramas promises to be quite enjoyable. The problem rests, I suppose in just HOW casually they discuss these dramas. I seek out podcasts to listen to meaningful, thought provoking discussion about things I love or am interested in. The hosts quickly glaze over plot points, don’t provide any evidence or insight into their opinions and as a result, fail to generate any type of meaningful discussion. Additionally, the way they talk about certain characters, actors and other aspects of the show are often times demeaning. Even if I find myself agreeing, they come across as disrespectful and mean spirited (don’t get me started on the nicknames) indicating their overall lack of empathy and understanding of the material. They root for characters to die so that the show is more fun for them and express boredom frequently. They essentially talk about what they hate and move on. A lot of the time, I get the sense they don’t really enjoy K-Dramas at all. The host Jennie tries to inject a sense of heart to discussions but is often railroaded by her less intelligent, immature co-hosts. I personally enjoy K-Drama as a pleasant escape from reality and as a means to elicit empathy and understanding through the beautiful stories they tell. You might like this show if you treat these shows as nothing more than a popcorn flick. If you are looking for a podcast where the hosts share your passion and love for K-Drama…look elsewhere.

Love the how hosts discuss Kdramas, Movies, and anime. I always learn something new, about characters, plot and Asian culture. I love listening to their discussions and different points of view. There is always lots of laughs too. So glad I found this podcast. I look forward to it all week.
