Let’s talk some dramas. But before that, let’s talk some BTS seating charts (this was recorded before the tickets went on sale), new BigBang music — and how much we dislike T.O.P’s hair. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
In an attempt to ring in some holiday spirit, we decided it’s time to bring out a very special episode of drama casting — creating our own version of It’s A Wonderful Life . Sit with us as we put the Kdrama makjang spin on this Christmas classic. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
It feels like we were just here! This episode we’re talking about what we’re watching (which for once is a bunch of the same), Stephanie rants about YouTube uploaders’ bait and switch tactics, and we cry, cry, cry a river over some of the news coming from Kpop this week. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Hello! Are you ready to finish up Killer Girl K ? We’re back with our final episode commentary on the drama short which is long on snark and violence (our commentary and the drama respectively). Thanks for checking out our experiment! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Hello, for Round Two! We’re back with the commentary for episode two of the drama special Killer Girl K . Now don’t listen to this one without listening to episode one!

Hello everyone! Here’s something new we haven’t tried before. This weekend, we watched Killer Girl K for Operation Kdrama Chat together and decided to try something we’ve talked about for a while! Record us watching (because you know us, we can’t shut our faces for more than three minutes at a go) so you can watch with us! (Kind of.) All you need to do is queue up episode one of Killer Girl K and on the count of three, press play! We hope you have fun…. To read the complete show notes, please vi...
This B-side we’re talking newsy topics like our newly acquired B1A4 tickets, the recently announced BTS concert (and how excited we are for it), Lee Min Ho’s new drama, Kim Ji Hoon’s career decisions, BigBang’s so-called new album, whether we are looking forward to The Voice and The Lonely Goblin , Gary leaving Running Man , Gukjoo on We Got Married , and the supposed Curse of the Reply series — we’d say “and much more,” but that’s pretty much it. To read the complete show notes, please visit th...
Due to schedule issues, we have a very... interesting episode for you this week! This is the one where we talk the dramas we're watching, the upcoming B1A4 concert, and take responsibility for the different choices for movies and drama specials that OKC will be discussing during the holiday season, all while Stephanie takes you on an adventure-filled walk through the streets of New Jersey. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
This episode is the uncovered audio from our KCon panel we did this year about the rise of idol actors and SNS dramas. (FYI, the audio, turns out, is fairly terrible. Have fun.) To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
The CL concert happened last weekend, which means it’s time to regale Cherry with some tales. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
After what seems like a very long time, we’re back to the A-Side — meaning, after some Cherry Cordial BTS updates, we’re talking what we’re watching with the likes of Love O2O , Five Children , Shopping King Louis , Bromance , and then Cherry leaves the room so Stephanie can rant about the end of Moonlight Drawn By Clouds without being spoiled! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
In this episode, friends of the podcast Alix and Sara walk us through their recent trip to South Korea. We hear about all the places they went, like the DMZ, the palaces, and Jeju island, sleeping on the floor in a traditional house, aalllll the food they ate, how many suitcases were required to bring back all kpop stuff they bought, and a certain idol they saw in their underpants! Now we’d call that a successful trip. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
How about a good old fashioned game night? This episode we decided to mix it up a bit and play some games. We work our way through a fair-themed Who Would You? , then try the fun new game affectionately known (by us at least), Hero! B-lead! Villain! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
A listener voicemail question has us taking a look at all the dramas that made us sniffle, blink a tear, or cry a river. (Why does Kdrama want to make us cry like it it’s job?) We also talk about scoring some CL tickets. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
We’re back did you miss us? We missed you! Or at least Cherry did. Stephanie was watching too much drama to think about it. (That’s why Cherry is the nice one.) We’re talking comeback news, concert tours, solo efforts before hitting what we’ve been watching during our time away with the likes of W , Moonlight Drawn by Clouds , Five Children , Love O2O , and Make It Right . To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
Look what we have here! It’s a podcast! What are we talking about? Primarily we’re answering a listener voicemail question, which ask us to revisit our chaebol topic and wonders, “Why are these sort of characters so popular?” We also offer her some suggestions of dramas with strong women and non-butthole heroes. Also, we catch up on some comments on comments! Side Note: Sorry for the delay, we had a technical hiccup. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
We’re watching Dramas! Lots of Dramas! Which is good because that’s all we’re chatting about this episode. We’re especially in love with the Chinese drama, Love O2O . Stephanie is also happy to announce her embarrassment over watching dramas on the train has passed. Bring on the drama-commute! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Chaebols! Chaebols! Chaebols! (And then some more chaebols) We’re discussing Kdrama and their rampant use of the chaebol heir heroes. We also discuss an important podcast announcement, Stephanie’s newfound excitement for drama watching, and get a listener email with some anime suggestions! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
This episode we are happy to have with us a very special guest, KpopontheDL, otherwise known as Leila! This means we talk a lot about Kpop. Oh noes, not Kpop!! We discuss things like the Khotties, Khottie choosing, Khottie age minimums. Oh. We also manage to save some room to talk dramas. New dramas! Old dramas! Terrible, Gay, Thai, Vampire movies! And a water cooler discussion on Cinderella and the Four Knights ! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
As promised, it’s podcast time! Sorry for the delay guys, it really was beyond our control. This episode, Cherry tries hard to reign in Stephanie’s crazies as they talk fun new castings with Lee Min Ho, Key, Lee Ji Hoon, and not Song Ji Hyo. There is also complaining about the pushing back of dramas they were looking forward to which adds onto the cranky time. We answer a listener question regarding We Got Married , and of course, talk all about Suga dropping his long awaited mixtape. To read th...
Finishing up our chat of our mutual vacation, we talk about watching some awesome Korean movies, Train to Busan and BigBang’s Made . We also chat about what we’re watching — drama shorts for Stephanie and actual dramas like W , Age of Youth , and Five Children for Cherry. (Yes, we all know Cherry is the better Kdrama fan, let’s not all rub it in Stephanie’s face.) To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
Another KCON has been put to bed, which means it's that time again for our KCON wrap up post! Why do we love this particular episode so much? It's the one time the entire year we not only record from the same side of the country, but we're in the same space! In this case? A car. On the highway. In the desert. So road noise is a thing. As always with our KCON wrap up episode, it is left completely as is, as in no editing at all. We recorded it and put it directly on the site. (Which is good, beca...
Guess the show title pretty much explains it all. There’s a bump in our schedule due to incoming KCON so we recorded a drama casting! We also take some time out of our busy lives to squee over Moonlight Drawn by Clouds . To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Stephanie is tired. Dog tired. Ugly dog tired. This may make her a little punchy. This episode we’re talking dramas you can’t find anywhere and whether it’s getting better or worse, we have an honest to goodness voicemail where we talk Kcon tickets, and imagine who the Korean tourism board would gift us with if we are very, very good — and what we’d do with them once we got them. Comments on comments and announcing the LA KCon panels round out the chat. To read the complete show notes, please vi...
Can you believe it? We watched stuff! And in the case of Stephanie, lots of stuff! And again in the case of Stephanie, lots of very, very, very bad stuff! Cherry is quite satisfied with her smaller list of stuff that didn’t suck so hard. Plus, we’re talking exciting changes in the KCON line up and how we’re going to be in the same side of the country in two weeks! Can LA handle that much… awesome? Yeah. Let’s go with awesome. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
After a few weeks of special episodes, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming. We’re finishing up the B-Side which means chatting about meeting real life listeners in real life, Stephanie’s pet name for Cherry Cordial (hint: It’s Cherry Cordial), Kpop Coffee, Operation Kdrama Chat’s new show poll, comments on comments, and finally answer a listener question about Korean drinking rules.

This last weekend was KCON NY! (And Stephanie may still be recovering…) This year she decided to record the popular Secret Lives of Kpop Fans Over 30 panel for those of you who were not able to be there to hear it! The panel is moderated by MultifacetedACG and includes panelists Young Ajummah, ZombieMama, Lisa from Hancinema, and, well, Stephanie. The panel was just as much fun as last year, and the group chatted topics such as encounters of the K-idol kind, ultimate biases, how to deal with the...
What a rollercoaster of a week. We went from thinking the show was going to be late, to not happening at all this week, to a special recording which will get us up right on time! Due to said rollercoaster week, this is a different sort of episode. We chat a bit about plans for a KCON meet up and Junsu-inspired English lessons but mainly fill our time with a summer-inspired “who would you”, which takes us to the ocean, a camping trip, a pirate ship, and a day of drama sloth. To read the complete ...
After a few weeks of special episodes, we’re back to just us! It feels weird. Is it weird? We’re hopping right back in, talking about dramas we’re watching, like Another Miss Oh , announcing Stephanie’s KCON NY-adjacent panels, talk meetups, Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook, Heechul! Heechul! Heechul! and we, of course, have to talk about #burgerpartyforjungkook. We’re back in the k-saddle again! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
Update: Sorry about that. We had the wrong audio first time around. It's correct now, so please re-download. Extra! Extra! Are you ready for part two of our two year anniversary extravaganza??? Well, you'd better be because it's a little late to change now... Our special guests are back with us to finish up our talk about our favorite things! Questions this episode include favorite: Crack Drama, Evil Parents, Actor, Outlandish Plot, Actress, All Time Kpop Bias, Kisses, Kpop Dance, Heroes, Side C...
