What dramas have we recently watched/ are currently watching - We share our impressions of these dramas.
Currently Watching:
Love Is For Suckers : Sangeetha has mixed feelings after watching 5 episodes into this romcom with best friends to lovers trope starring Choi Si Won and Lee Da HeeCompleted Dramas
Extraordinary Attorney Woo : The drama traces the journey of Attorney Woo Young Woo, a young lady who is autistic and getting started at one of the prestigious law firms in the country. Our team has mixed feelings about this drama but recommends it as a one time watch; as it is rare to see autistic female representation in TV Series and it has its heart-warming moments. Minal also recommends the American series on Prime - As We See It where the 3 leads are played by actors who are autistic in real life. If You Wish Upon Me: Ji Chang Wook stars in this drama as a gangster who comes to do his community service in a Hospice and begins to rebuild his life. Good performance by JCW, but the drama left Sangeetha and Minal with mixed feelings - one time watch recommended if you are a JCW fan. DP: Minal highly recommends this 2021 drama that stars Jung Hae In and Koo Kyo Hwan. One of the best military dramas - it's worth all the hype, accolades and awards it got. Black Dog : A drama that explores the trials and tribulations of teachers - temporary and permanent, within the Korean education system with 2 female protagonists played by Ra MiRan and Seo HyunJin. An underrated gem that Poonam and Minal highly recommend. Through The Darkness : The drama that traces the journey of how the criminal profiling unit was established in South Korea. It is based on true events and co-written by SK’s first criminal profiler. Excellent crime thriller - highly recommended by Poonam and Minal. The Law Cafe : Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young star in this romcom with legal backdrop. A very mature and realistic romance between two people in their mid-30s dealing with legal cases with the right messaging. Minal loved it and highly recommends it for the relationship arc and fire chemistry between the leads. Little Women : The American classic adapted to modern day Korea with dark undertones and an underlying social commentary. The team had polar opposite views on this one - so listen and decide whether this drama is for you or not. Minal loved it, but Sangeetha and Poonam would not recommend this drama to anyone.Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter. License code: LU8KUCTYYYAA2KKL

What dramas have we recently watched/ are currently watching - We share our impressions of these dramas.
Currently Watching:
Sangeetha's Picks:
Eve : Seo YeJi’s comeback drama. It's a revenge drama with Seo YeJi playing the protagonist who is out for revenge from the chaebol family. Why Her: Legal drama which is a women centric drama with Seo Hyun Jin playing the lead protagonist. Started it for her and has liked it so far. Kiss Sixth Sense: Based on the webtoon which both Sangeetha and Minal have read. Enjoying it and the lead actor Yoon Kye Sang is a favourite of both Minal and Sangeetha. Bloody Heart: Watched 6 episodes purely for Jang Hyuk, good so far.Minal’s Pick:
Black Dog : Another Seo Hyun Jin drama that revolves around school teachers and the politics amongst them. On hold currently, but will definitely pick it up again for the different plot.Completed Dramas
Secret Royal Inspector Joy : Poonam recommends this primarily for a progressive female protagonist played by Kim Hye Yoon set in the Joseon era. She meets the male lead TaecYeon who is a Secret Royal Agent and together they work to solve cases. Sky Castle : Minal loved this drama . It is a tragicomedy, a satirical take on the obsession of upper-class parents in South Korea to get their kids in the topmost universities at the cost of destroying others' lives. Excellent acting by a great ensemble cast and writing/direction. Sound of Magic: Poonam and Sangeetha loved this musical drama while Minal had mixed reviews. The drama is about a 30 year old magician and 2 struggling teenagers who try to chart a path of their own against societal norms. 6 episodes only. Again My Life : Lee Joon Gi is back as a prosecutor action hero with a fantasy element where he gets to redo his life. Minal and Poonam loved it. Recommended watch, especially if you are a Lee Joon Gi fan. Soundtrack : Friends to lovers trope starring Park Hyung Sik and Han So Hee. 4 episodes - short drama. Sangeetha recommends it. Love All Play : A surprise package which was the right blend of romance, sports, friendships with an emotional storyline. The supporting cast is good and Chae Jong Hyeop and Park Ju Hyun’s lead pair chemistry is top notch. Whilst it is not perfect, Minal recommends it for the best boyfriend ever written and portrayed to perfection by Chae Jong Hyeop in KDramaland.Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter.

What Are We Watching - WAWW
What dramas have we recently watched/ are currently watching - We share our impressions of these dramas.
Completed Dramas
2021/22 Releases:
Our Beloved Summer : The perfect slow-burn romance if there ever was. Choi Woo Sik and Kim Da Mi’s acting brilliance, great soundtrack. Must watch Taxi Driver - Crime Thriller. Great plot up to Ep10, then it went downhill as a typical revenge drama. Esom’s prosecutor was kickass. Not a bad watch. The Silent Sea - Dystopian Thriller. Reflects a world that could be reality for future generations. Gong Yoo and Bae Doona dynamic is the highlight. Minal and Poonam recommend this. Bad & Crazy: Action/Thriller. Mainly for Lee Dong Wook in Action role. Good banter between Wi Ja Hoon and LDW. 12 episodes - Recommended by Sangeetha Ghost Doctor: Fantasy/Medical. Witty banter, ghosts, good use of tropes, some great performances - Rain, Kim Bum, Uee, Sung Dong Il, cleaner ajumma. Watch, if you need a good laugh, says Sangeetha. Mad About Each Other: Romcom but leads have mental health issues. Realistic portrayal and heart-warming. Recommended by Poonam.Older Dramas:
Mr Sunshine: Period Drama set in late 1800s/Early 1900s depicting Korea’s fight against Japanese invasion. Great ensemble cast, one of the best female leads in KDramas , beautiful cinematography and a gripping storyline. We all highly recommend it . Dalja’s Spring : Noona romance - strong female leads. Recommended by Sangeetha While You Were Sleeping: Fantasy/Legal. Great writing. A healthy love triangle. Jung HaeIn ruled this drama. Recommended watch. Flower of Evil - Crime Thriller. Great plot, Lee Joong Gi steals the limelight. It’s a crime drama, but Minal loved how it explored complex human relationships and trust. Recommended watch. I am Not a Robot: Romcom. Ridiculous plot but a lot of fun. Poonam recommends it for a fun light-hearted watch. Entertainer - Absolutely wholesome drama. Sangeetha and Poonam suggest hanging in there for initial episodes, the drama picks up after 3 episodes and is emotional, but heart-warming.Currently Watching
Thirty Nine - First 2 episodes were underwhelming. Didn’t measure up to the high expectations given the cast. Forecasting Love & Weather: Messy start, but has picked up from episode 3. Strong female lead. Twenty Five Twenty One: Favourite amongst all of us. Kim Taeri is stealing the show, but the entire cast is essaying their roles well; especially Choi Hyun Hyuk who plays Ji Woong. Join the bandwagon with us :) Chocolate : A healing drama where the main leads - a neurosurgeon and chef come to work together in a Hospice and heal themselves with the patients. The friendship between the male lead and his friend, is one of the best Minal has seen in Kdramas.Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter.

It has been exactly a year since we launched our podcast and released our first episode on 17Feb2020! And what a year it has been! We learned something new, made some mistakes, made new friends, got a fresh new way to enjoy the dramas we watch - by engaging with our audience and fellow fans. And we couldn’t have asked for better.
In this episode, we share a glimpse of ourselves and our team with you. We’ve had a lot of highs and lows producing this podcast and we grew as individuals too owing to this. As a token of our gratitude to our listeners and a celebration of our tiny achievement of completing a year of our podcast, we present this episode where we speak from our hearts about how our recordings happened, the bloopers, the heart-warming appreciation we have received from our audience and so much more.
P.S. The title of this episode is a homage to the lovely drama Because This is My First Life which all of us in our team loved watching.

While she waits for the return of her favourite oppa, Jang Keun Suk, to the screen, she makes her living as a book editor and writes fanfic at KhepiAri @aO3. She is most clued in the pop culture around comics and dramas and can be reached at @paulOaries on Twitter and @khepiari on Instagram.
Imp is a teenager and one of the youngest Kdrams viewers we know. She is a K-pop fan first and that led her to watching Kdramas. She loves crime/thriller genre more but enjoys watching romcoms too.

What dramas have we recently watched/are currently watching - We share our quick thoughts on them.
Completed Dramas: (All under 12 episodes)
Squid Game: Thriller genre. We all enjoyed it and highly recommend it . (Corrigendum: Minal says the bead game - this is incorrect and she meant the marble game) Hellbound : Mix of reality, dystopian and supernatural - Sangeetha recommends this. Youth of May : A poignant tale about a young couple’s love story and human relationships set against the backdrop of the 1980 Gwangju uprising, highly recommended by Minal. My Name : Mobster/crime thriller - as Poonam says a must watch for Han So Hee and Park See Joon’s performances. The Witch’s Diner: Fantasy genre but very good performances from Song Ji Hyo and Nam Ji Hyun. As Minal says, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but a good find from the 2021 dramas.Currently Watching:
2021 Dramas:
Happiness: Dystopian drama too close to reality - another good drama to add to your watchlist as Sangeetha says. One the Woman: Recommended for Honey Lee’s performance by Poonam and Sangeetha. Inspector Koo: Woman centric drama but also a crime thriller, give it a try says PoonamOld Dramas:
Flower of Evil: Crime thriller with psychopath angle. Minal is enjoying this one and is recommended by Poonam and Sangeetha. Suspicious Partner: Minal is re-watching this series, listen to our special cut on why we recommend it City Hall: Underrated drama - strongly recommended by both Poonam and Sangeetha. Greatest Love: Written by Hong Sisters, but we won’t recommend this one, unless you are fans of Gong Hyo Jin and Cha Seung Won (lead pair)Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter.
