This Spoiled Yak is a very special throwback to a drama all three of us watched early on in our K-drama journey, and which we still love to this day: You're Beautiful. As an extra treat, Anisa's mom agreed to come talk to us about her experience watching this show recently. Join us as we... Continue Reading →
Drama Addict Diary is back and it's very silly and trivial and full of pictures, even though I did not manage to stick in that one Lee Jun-ki one that I can't seem to let go of. This is a highly untidy version of what's been going on for me lately in drama-watching-land, and it's... Continue Reading →
Anisa and Paroma talk about the first 8 episodes of #kdrama Run On and why they're hooked to this story. The drama stars Im Shi-wan (the famous maknae from Misaeng) and Shin Se-kyung (Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung) and their chemistry and building romance is making our January a lot better than expected. https://soundcloud.com/akdramapodcast/83-the-little-yak-run-on 35:28 Spoiler...

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 →
By Anja De Jager Back in the days before K-drama addiction struck, I once attended a screenwriting seminar by a famous US TV writer and he made the point that you should end a drama series on a cliffhanger so that you’d get commissioned for Season 2. The purpose of the end of a drama... Continue Reading →
Anisa reconvenes with Yunah and Lee Tennant in one last nerdy love-fest for Stranger 2, giving us one last gift to round off 2020. Listen to them break down the show's big themes (with side-trips into literature and philosophy), and revisit their best moments and favourite characters. But beware: spoilers and weasels abound! In case... 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...

What got you through 2020? It's the time of year again where we're working hard to put together our annual Year-End Yak and the Goguma Awards (we're having a LOT of fun with that!). This time, we'd love to invite you to join us! Tell us about what got you through 2020 in Dramaland, whether... Continue Reading →
