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...

Why do good dramas have to come to an end? That’s my biggest complaint about 18 Again right now. But it’s also true that when you drag out your goodbyes, they lose their potency, and although the drama really worked hard to stretch itself over sixteen episodes, the finale was nothing short of perfection. Saner,... Continue Reading →
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.

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 →
These two episodes blow in with a slightly different tang to previous weeks, and while the plot somewhat slows down, there are a lot of great moments for secondary characters to shine and grow...or sing and make sweet yet horribly embarrassing idiots of themselves—take your pick! While I watched like a shallow fangirl, Saner and... Continue Reading →
We're back with a bit more to say on Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol, surprisingly! After its opening weeks, I was convinced the drama would have a satisfying but predictable trajectory that I could sit back and enjoy, but then it hit us with that Episode 5 reveal. Yes, that one, which you've... Continue Reading →
After the last two episodes, our Saya decided to take a break from Record of Youth to preserve her sanity. She can be currently found in greener and more nourishing pastures over at the reviews of 18 Again. But I clearly have less sense, so here we are. Volunteering to brave the last two weeks...

It's another week of tragicomedy and feeling in 18 Again. Anisa has finally caught up—just in time to join me and Saner in our collective flailing! The show brings a lot of big drama this week, but jumps in and out so fast that you barely get wet. Instead, a few running plot points converge... Continue Reading →
