It’s possible we got so excited talking about all the good (and very bad) things we were watching that we ran long. Very long. Which always gives Stephanie fits, because she has to cut out all those meanderings she and Cherry take. This episode we’re talking Big Gay Gangster’s Big Dumb Drama, D-Day, The Village, and Kiss Me (aka Thai Playful Kiss). Yes, see? We can talk about new dramas! We’re also talking about the no good, very bad thing that's going on at YouTube, and then we answer a fun lis...

Podcast time! Seems like it’s been forever since we’ve had a good Kdrama chat. This episode, we answer some awesomely long-winded listener questions and comments regarding the mythical candy hero, Smile Dong Hae, the length and subbing of Taiwanese dramas, and the classic drama All About Eve. We also weigh in on the recent BTS US debacle, and we, as usual, go off and various tangents, including the tale of Mr. McFeeley and his hunt to find real Korean people to show off his new Running Man addic...

Yep, we chatted too long again! Bad news? This episode was broken up into two episodes. Good news? The second episode is out tomorrow! Oh Yeah! In this episode, we’re talking about how iKON made Stephanie very cranky, great strides being taken in the DMCA battle, and then we have an interview with Jacqueline from the YouTube Kdrama review channel Fangirl Musings, about Kdrama, romance novels, and how much work goes into making a video.

Are you ready for an epic (or epikly long) podcast? This episode, Jacqueline from Fangirl Musings stops by to chat about Kdramas, Kpop schwag, Kdrama tropes, and all about her youtube channel–unfortunately, we spend so much time talking about dramas, so she’s coming back next week to talk the tropes and the YouTube stuff. So this episode is about Kdramas, Kdramas, Kdramas!

No sickness, no schedules, no technical difficulties will keep us from our podcasting path! And trust me—they all took their turns trying to thwart us this week. In this episode, Cherry manages to drag Stephanie’s secret watching out of her, they talk about how hard it can be watching friends watch Kdrama for the first time, we squee over Jackson and Junsu, chat some news, and then round it off talking about using spoilers or even skipping ahead to cheat-watch dramas.

Now that KCon is done, we’re getting back to our regularly scheduled programming—talking about Kdrama! In this episode, Stephanie is a little punchy, Cherry can’t stop laughing, and we talk about newsy things like, ugh, Ghost Seeing Detective, Soompi canceling their premium program, Super Junior and the Teen Choice awards, we answer some listener questions, and finally, we ponder the time-old did-not-finish list, talking about why we drop some shows and whether you should go back again.

Let’s get reaaaaaady to KCON! Or actually, we’ve already done KCon and are ready to talk all about the experience. Like last year, we are actually together recording and not in our hermetically sealed boxes, so there is a lot more background noise and it’s straight off our lips and into your ears (meaning it’s missing the hours of editing we usually put into it). We’re talking about the music, the panels, and the people of KCon (with a brief stop into what we’re watching). See you next year, Che...

Episode 30! Can we get a woot-woot! It’s our last podcast before we westward-KCON-ho. In this episode, Stephanie hijacks Cherry’s drama watching list with a rant about Scholar Who Walks At Night . We discuss the very upsetting news about the NYC BTS concert, and then we have a very special KCON announcement. And as always, we get a little spoilery on Lovesick (and for good measure Scholar Who Walks At Night —not our fault guys—how can you talk about that crazy-pants drama without giving crazy-pa...

Whew, with all the changes to the schedule, we didn’t think we were going to make this one on time! But by the power of GDragon we have made it. In this episode we talk about ice cream, Top Gear, and Stephanie’s new AC. Oh, and in drama-related topics we chatter about what dramas we’re watching, new and upcoming dramas to consider adding to our lists, randomly newsy stuff, and then a listener question where we talk about whether the sound of the a language itself can drive you from a drama. **Al...

Holy Gdragon, this is the second week in a row we’ve managed to keep the podcast under a manageable level. I’m so proud! This week, we talk about how Cherry and Amber tricked Stephanie into either watching terrible dramas, or not watching dramas at all. We also talk about the rash of injuries in Kdramaland, the results of our BigBang ticket hunt, what we’re watching (or in Stephanie’s case, which fanfiction she’s now reading), answer a question on whether or not it is worth it to go to KCon, and...

In this episode, Stephanie was determined to get the podcast to a manageable length. We chat about Chinese dramas, which seems to have taken over our current drama watching, KCon updates, BigBang, comments on comments, we draw the winner for the year anniversary giveaway (thanks for entering guys!), and then we end on something a little different—Stephanie’s Ranty Corner, where she talks about DramaFever’s apparent decision to start carrying BBC programming. All in all, one of the best times we’...

Our anniversary podcast! We can’t believe we’ve been doing this a whole year already. Today we’re talking about the many, many dramas we’re watching, including our Healer marathon, and then we’re answering the weirdest collection of Who Would You’s, which includes tacos, sock puppets, and fanfiction. Then, for our celebration we’re answering a basket full of listener questions covering the best and the worst in drama tropes, our favorite romantic moments, high school dramas, and actor swap outs....

In this very special episode of the Kchat Jjigae Podcast, we’re joined by friends Xe and Molly In Kdramaland, where we will talk about, and squeee over, the Thai drama Love Sick: The Series . We’ll be talking season 1, what’s out so far of season 2, and the web book. If you’ve read the book and watched the drama—come and listen. If you haven’t—well you may want to watch first and then come back, as not only is it a super cute drama, but we are going to spoil the s*#t out of it. This episode is a...

It’s our 25th episode! Which we’d be more excited about 1) if we hadn’t had to record so many times and 2) if our one year anniversary wasn’t a mere episode away. Today we’re talking what we’re watching, the long awaited return of Khottie, anticipation for Orange Marmalade , Cherry reports on the Korean Music Festival, and then we answer some listener questions on soothing Kpop videos, and suggestions for what Korean movies we’d suggest to someone trying to hook her husband in.

The name might have changed, but never fear, Stephanie and Cherry Cordial are up to their same old shenanigans. In this episode, we gush over the new site and explain where the name Kchat Jjigae came from.

In this episode we put our ranty hats on and talk about how delightful we think it is when people call Kdramas "Korean soap operas," and if they can say it while rolling their eyes? Even better! (This is a lie, neither of these things are good.) We talk about what we’re watching and Stephanie lays a big surprise on Cherry Cordial, add on some newsy type stuff and a listener-question-inspired topic about the changes of Kdrama through history which we “Uhhh…” our way through, and you have the perf...

In this episode we do lots of stuff, so just listen. Just kidding! After chatting about news, what we’re watching, and how Roommate has been letting us down of late, we answer Kdrama-related questions, which have us coming almost to blows over the epic question “Super Junior or Big Bang?” and wondering which Kdrama heroine we would most want to be. Then we move over to talking about comfort watches, dramas that are our go to’s if we are sick or just want to be cheered up. To read the complete sh...

In today’s episode, we talk about changing the way we watch Kdrama and vow to start simulcasting more by looking through a lot of the upcoming dramas, we squeee about random kpop news, and wonder who would pay to watch a hologram GDragon. Meandering, we brush on body size in Korean entertainment and the possible end of our love of Roommate . To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .

What can we say, his MV was released, and it is epic — how could we resist?), we squee about Stephanie’s newfound love of Roommate (well, we both squee, and Cherry rocks the ‘I told you so’), we answer a listener question regarding the sister to the sequel and spin off, the remake, then finally, we discuss the troubling news from the big three kdrama broadcasters and what that means for the future of Kdrama. To read the complete show notes, pleas...

Stephanie pauses her current Junsu obsession to discuss the sad demise of the Crazy for Kdrama site. We talk what we know happened, what we think happened, and all the murky details in between. We cover what that means for the future of the podcast, and, most importantly, what bloggers out there can (and should) do to protect themselves. Finally, we move on to what we’re watching (listen for Stephanie butchering the name of a Japanese manga/movie), and then we finish up with a Valentine’s themed...

We pack a lot of stuff into a short time.

Ever wonder why some dramas look great and some look like poo? Well, it's time for some Kdrama schoolin' here at the Crazy for Kdrama Podcast or, to be more exact, film schoolin' as special guest Sean McFeeley teaches us about the difference of film vs. video and why dramas may choose to use one over the other. We also talk about introducing friends to Running Man , choosing the best episodes to start with, and ask about some of the more memorable games. Listener questions give Stephanie a chanc...

This episode is filled to the brim with recommendations and warnings to navigate through Kdramas and Kmovies. We have a voicemail listener question, which kicks off a discussion on dramas that it seemed like everyone else loved but we had to slog through. It's possible the show is also filled with Kpop concert jealousy, Stephanie's bad attitude, and what levels she stooped to for her fake Korean Boyfriend. **Please note, during part of this discussion we do talk about 19+ movies.
