But not to worry, she’s feeling better and we’re ready to talk about ‘Hospital Playlist’ season 1 episodes 5-6. This week we worry for the safety of a character too good for this world, get very overwhelmed by how many doctors are in this drama, and talk about siblings who maybe should or maybe shouldn’t talk to each other more.

It's time for the bonus review of 'Signal'! Listen here as we talk about how maybe there aren't the time paradoxes we thought, deep dive into corruption plots, and host an 'In Memoriam' in lieu of doing awards, because a heck of a lot of people died in this show and there are so many to remember.

In our second review of 'Signal' we cover episodes 5-8. Listen here as we get super bummed out about K drama events, then get super bummed out about real life events, and we revoke a character's seat at the 'good guy' table. Also, Raquel just really wants six taquitos and completely loses her mind at the end of this one, sorry about that.

Join us here as we pretend to know anything about Behavior Analysis, have our minds blown by potential paradoxes, and prove once more that we desperately need someone who knows about South Korean Law to come and explain some stuff to us.

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 06:24:22 +0000

Now that we've finished the first 2 seasons of 'Kingdom' we're ready to talk about all the bonus thoughts we have about this very good show. Join us here for a round of 'Who's That Face?', a new game we invented called '1 Truth and 100 Lies', and then do some mock interviews for an imagined future where the director of a K Drama consents to coming on this weird little podcast. In short, this episode is absolute madness.

Since our reviews on horror Korean dramas are few and far between we just want to take a section here to remind you to heed the rating for this drama (TV-MA) and the reasons (Violence, Gore, Frightening & Intense Scenes). We also talk at length about these things in our reviews. We never want our listeners to unexpectedly watch or hear something that could upset them or make them feel unsafe in any way. While we enjoy horror content we know it can also be very disturbing and completely understand if you skip this one and we'll see you for our next drama!

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 03:16:06 +0000

October is here and with it we're starting a new Korean drama to get spooked with. Politics meets horror (which actually feels pretty realistic, to be honest) in Kingdom; a K drama set in a fictional Joseon era Korea where the Crown Prince investigates the origins of a plague outbreak that is bringing the dead back to life. Listen to us as we talk about delightfully complicated characters, the ethical dilemma of cannibalism, and how we don't have the guts to be stunt people, but we appreciate those who do.

This week we watched episodes 1-4 of 'Move to Heaven' and designated this month 'Big Sad September' because it looks like we're gonna be crying during every episode of this beautiful K drama.

Join us this week as we talk specific moments, abruptly created and concluded drama, and, for some reason even we don't understand, flex our limited knowledge about plumbing.

Listen along as we try to establish an emotional-journey-timeline, get caught off guard by the top of the finale, and talk about love in all it's forms.

This week we watched episodes 5-8 of ‘Uncontrollably Fond’ and this show has us all over the place.

It’s all over. This week we watched episodes 15 and 16 of ‘Crash Landing on You’ and we will never recover. Join us as we talk about endings that we found delightful, endings that tore us apart, and endings that we needed to see. Fair warning, we spend the last 10 minutes or so just crying.

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 07:45:10 +0000

For this very exciting episode, we watched episodes 11 and 12 of ‘Crash Landing on You’ which is working its way up to being the best K-drama we’ve ever seen.

Join us as we try to explain Kim Soo Hyun’s cameo in episode 10, Jo Cheol Gang’s new goals, and Seri’s relationship with her mom.

Episode 97 - 'Crash Landing on You' Ep. 7-8

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 26 May 2020 07:30:44 +0000

This show is going to be the death of us both. We are so stressed out and we’re only halfway through it. Watch episodes 7 and 8 of ‘Crash Landing on You’ then join us here as we discuss fake villains disguised as real villains, peak romance constantly ruined by the setting, and, our now recurring segment, Scenes That Made Us Cry.

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 19 May 2020 07:03:21 +0000

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 05 May 2020 07:18:17 +0000

We are finally on board the ‘Crash Landing on You’ train and have zero regrets. This week we watched the first two episodes (because later episodes of this drama get so long, we had to split them up or we’d never have time to watch four in a week). Join us as we share our biggest surprises, our favorite parts of Norf Corea, and discover together how to make the perfect latex bed.

Episode 93 - 'Suspicious Partner' Bonus Episode

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 14:22:18 +0000

Trigger warning: sexual assault (it’s in the show and we discuss the case briefly in the podcast)

Raquel found her mic!! Just in time for the finale. This week, we watched episodes 33 through 40 of ‘Suspicious Partner'. Watch the episodes and join us here as we talk about how long we’d let someone stay on our couch, which Spice Girls we are, and how this show tried to ruin all its characters in the last 30 minutes.

Episode 91 - 'Suspicious Partner' Ep. 25-32

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 23:27:05 +0000

Guys, we messed up. Raquel hasn’t been able to find her good microphone since she moved and her computer defaulted to using the mic on her headphones instead of her backup standing mic and it’s not the easiest to listen to, we’re not gonna lie. But it’s only for the first 10 minutes. So bear with us. We’re a mess right now, okay?

This week we watched episodes 25 through 32 of ‘Suspicious Partner’ and they may be the most skippable episodes, but they were still delightfully funny, charming, and awkward. So watch the episodes and join us here as we talk quick recoveries, adorable new faces, and ships that we want to see happen, but maybe it would be better if they just didn’t.

Episode 90 - 'Suspicious Partner' Ep. 17-24

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 07:01:19 +0000

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 31 Mar 2020 07:58:38 +0000

This week we watched episodes 9-16 of ‘Suspicious Partners’ and it’s making us so nervous!! Join us as we talk about crime, romance, and bromance. We also get very sidetracked and share stories of the times we were conned.

Guys, for real: “Sometimes, …just picture your best friend Raquel being like, ‘Hey, see how you’re uncomfortable? Listen to that.’ Give voice to your discomfort.”

Also: “If there’s anyone in this world who judges you for getting yourself out of a situation that you feel is not good for you, then they’re not good people.”

Episode 88 - 'Suspicious Partner' Ep. 1-8

playonkpodcast@gmail.com (Emily and Raquel) — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 09:08:55 +0000

We got a new theme song and covered a new K-drama and Raquel moved back to Utah so things are really moving and shaking around here! We watched the first eight episodes (or four hours, per usual) of ‘Suspicious Partner’ and you can rest assured that although a lot is changing in our real lives, we bring our usual awkward charm to our coverage of this adorably dark comedy.
