Thanks for spending this awful, trying, ridiculous and neverending year with us. For all the dark times, we also laughed a lot, had some milestones, and had an unprecedented year of interaction with you, our beautiful community! Here's some thoughts (...okay, a lot of thoughts, hours of thoughts) about what our year in dramas was... Continue Reading →
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Yak Tea on Christmas Day! We had a lovely time, and we hope you all did too. One of our segments was a live advice column with my mom called "Ask Ammi", which we had attendees anonymously send questions in for ahead of time, and she answered... Continue Reading →
Anisa and Paroma chat about Start-Up, the first twelve episodes of Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol (i.e. before that disastrous, bafflingly bad ending), and 18 Again. We also gush over Avatar: The Last Airbender, which Anisa finally watched—and loved, obviously—only fifteen years late. https://soundcloud.com/akdramapodcast/80-tly-start-up-do-do-sol-sol-la-la-sol-18-again Time Stamps: 03:33 Start-Up10:02 Do Do Sol Sol La...

Paroma and our friend Anja de Jager talk about how much they loved Do You Like Brahms?, why they almost dropped it, and why the ending was perfect! As always with our Spoiled Yaks, this episode is FULL of spoilers, so proceed with your eyes open. https://soundcloud.com/akdramapodcast/77-the-spoiled-yak-do-you-like-brahms Find Anja's mystery novels here.

We're still loving this drama, so Paroma and I sat down to enumerate the many ways we keep falling for Joon, Ra-ra, and the gang. Do Do might seem lightweight at first glance, but it's actually surprisingly thoughtful, and does a great job of balancing its darker elements with the characters' inherent optimism, and the...

In this second Long Yak of the month, we discuss the rest of what we watched in October: Korean dramas Search, Alice, and The School Nurse Files. Anisa and Paroma also discuss Blackpink documentary Light Up the Sky. https://soundcloud.com/akdramapodcast/76-tly-search-alice-the-school-nurse-files-light-up-the-sky Time Stamps: 02:10 Search12:24 Alice22:20 The School Nurse Files29:31 Light Up the Sky Find us on...

It's a news and drama-filled episode this month! We go over some stories from the industry and then dive straight into upcoming dramas. We also have some exciting news of our own: we've joined the Frolic Podcast Network, and we explain exactly what that means in the episode. Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/akdramapodcast/75-kakaos-ott-app-lee-min-ho-in-pachinko-true-beauty-in-upcoming-dramas Time Stamps: NEWS00:04:05 Mobile TV... Continue Reading →
Saner and I are without our Saya today, because she’s off doing important and busy things, but we have plenty to say about the penultimate week of 18 Again between the two of us. We’ve got revelations, long-awaited conversations, and confessions galore. Much of it was lovely, but there were aspects that drove us to... Continue Reading →
We're back with a Long Yak! We've decided to split our monthly yaks about what we've been watching (which were more like woolly mammoths, let's be real) so that we can get the episodes out to you more quickly and hopefully in a more manageable chunk for your ears! This episode we discuss ongoing shows... Continue Reading →
