A-side, Baby, A-side! We’re talking some good news, some bad news, some KCon news, and then talking about some dramas we’re watching: Fight My Way , Fluttering India , 2Moons , and 10 Miles of Peach Blossoms . To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
In this b-side we’re talking trigger warnings, what they are, where they go, and whether or not we agree with them. Answer? Maybe? Then, we follow up with a nice round on comments on comments. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Are we ready for some drama? Of the Kdrama — and actually of the Kpop news variety? We’re talking dramas like Fight My Way (which Cherry Cordial has rightly picked up), questions brought up by Lookout , and waiting eagerly for Bon Voyage 2 . We also talk about the troubling power of Kpop fans, with the recent Seo Taiji and Super Junior news. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
It’s the Fourth of July! (Or it was when we recorded!) For this episode, we’re just having some fun crafting the best #Klife Fourth of July. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
In this episode, we’re talking about what we’re watching! And we’re watching stuff! And Stephanie is very excited about what she’s watching (Ahem… Fight My Way ). We discuss how a Kpop book has Jr McFeeley incensed. And we talk about some newsy topics like casting news for Kwang Soo and Lee Byung Hun, Yoo Ah In and Seo In Guk’s recent military news, and BTS blowing away the internet. We may also have a discussion how Stephanie may or may not now have dominion over all things Korean. (She doesn’t...
Just in time to just miss Father’s Day, we’re going to talk about the wonderful (and many times, horrible) Kdrama dads out there. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
It’s our first regular episode now that Stephanie’s settled in Denver. We’re back to talking about dramas we’re watching, or, possibly sleeping through. It’s possible we take some time to talk about the big move and the awesome #klife welcome Stephanie found in Denver. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
In this week’s podcast, Cherry and Stephanie take a break from their usual frivolity to discuss the recent events with T.O.P, from the drug scandal to his hospitalization. We then use this as a platform to discuss dramas which touch on mental illness in Korea. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
It’s possible that Stephanie may have died partway through this episode. Seriously guys. Dead. Luckily, Cherry soldiers on through some What We’re Watching and some Newsy Topics like BTS and the BBMAs, Woo Bin, Sistar disbanding, and a Junsu sighting! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
It was brought to our attention that perhaps we should have consulted with some people in the know about Kdramas for juniors… like someone who actually has one. So, with special guest SaraG, we revisit the topic, plus with a visit with The Junior McFeeley coming up, we're also talking Kpop recommendations! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
It’s finally time to release the kraken! Or in this case, finally announce the news that is the huge upcoming change in Stephanie’s life and hopefully what that means for Kchat Jjigae. We follow it up with a theme-appropriate Who Would You. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Gotta start ’em young, right? But what drama is best (or appropriate) to introduce the young impressionable in your life to the wonder that is Kdrama? It’s a harder choice than you’d think! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Is nitpicking a drama or movie being insensitive? If one has a platform to speak, should they be obligated to balance a line with an open mind and a civil tongue? Maybe. Do we do it? Well, what fun would that be? In this episode, we chat about that, plus newsy topics, comments on comments, and some fun Kpop news! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Remember last week when we decided to talk about a crap-ton of dramas? Well, turns out there were too many upcoming dramas to fit into just one podcast. So, in our eternal search to find a new drama to watch together, we go through the rest of them here — and try not to get sidetracked at all by the Asia on Tour concert, the G-Dragon tickets, and anything else that pops into our heads. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
We’re tardy — but still here! This episode, we’re changing it up a bit and talking about all of the many, many, many shows that are in the works. And when we say many, we mean this is part 1. Plus. We got sidetracked a lot. Mostly Stephanie’s fault. Blame her. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
It’s episode one hundred! Can you believe we made it this far? We hope the answer is yes, as technically we are over 100. In celebration, we’re just hanging out, playing some games, having a good time. We do some ‘who would yous’, talk about some of our favorite episodes, and introduce you to Bias vs Bias! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
It’s no surprise to anyone listening that we are big-fat-BTS fangirls. In this episode, we have special guests Regina, Alexis, and SaraG with us to do a whole BTS concert breakdown — and if you think Cherry and Stephanie can get sidetracked — just wait until there are five of us! This episode will be marked as explicit, but it’s just for some salty language. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Can we get an A-side? Let’s chat what we’re watching! Or, how Stephanie tries to explain why she likes Tomorrow With You without giving away any spoilers to Cherry. It’s harder than she thought! We also realized we missed a couple of Hero! B-Lead! Villain! suggestions from Humble Daisy so we get a few of those in as well and, much to Stephanie’s chagrin, find their next cast to do a drama casting for. NOOOO!!!! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
Ode to the b-side. We’ve got some newsy topics, including the recent FTC ruling on idol contracts, Amber and her sad Instagram, KTMF, casting Good Doctor , answering some comments on comments, and finally a rousing game of Hero! B-Lead! Villain! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
Back to the A-side! We’re talking about what we’re watching! Dumping Voice , picking up Tomorrow WIth You , Netflix’s attempt to make a Kdrama, What’s Up with OKC, and finishing Weightlifting Fairy .

We talk about what our dream lineup would be! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official...
Do a drama casting, she said. It will be fun, she said. Two-plus hours later we have our episode of casting and remaking the classic Jane Eyre into a Kdrama, complete with makjang, birth secrets, a-hole heroes, b-leads, and meet-not-so-cutes. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website .
This episode we’re back to the B-side, and we’re finally doing what we promised — catching up on comments on comments and listener questions! We’re brought back to the drunken end-of-the year podcast, Stephanie accidentally outs listener Liz C’s Seungri situation, someone asks about how to kpop concert, we answer a very delicate DramaFever question, and decide to no longer like Spice Angel and Mr. Spice Angel as they got the good BTS tickets and we didn’t. (Okay, maybe it was just one of us who ...
In this very special episode, the East Coast faction of Kchat Jjigae — handily coined the Kpop Nerd Herd — is fresh off a very special evening with B1A4. We talk all about the concert (spoiler alert for you Banas out there whose concerts haven’t happened yet), a little bit of the Kpop Nerd Herd’s storming of Manhattan, just how B1A4’s skin feels (Hint: Delightful), and how high touches feel (Hint: Awkward). To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
A-side! We’re talking more Kpop concert news, both good ideas (EXO) and bad ideas (King of Masked Singer). Then we talk all the shows we’re watching — and by we, we mean Stephanie as for once she’s actually ahead of the game. Also The Voice , Weightlifting Fairy , Descendants of the Sun , and the hidden downside of friends asking to watch Kdrama with you! To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
We’re back! I’d say we’re better than ever, but I’d hate to get your hopes up, so plan for a regular episode, and be pleasantly surprised. Maybe. We’re pondering the merits of a Tablo/Eric Nam/Gallant and the crazy idea of planning Shinee concerts the same month as BTS. Chatting about the renewing of Running Man and the loss of bands like Wonder Girls and M.I.B. Then we break into our main topic, adult dramas for adults. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website ....
Back to our regularly scheduled programming! Which means, this episode we’re talking about what we’re watching — alone and together. Add onto that, we’ll chat dramas we wish we were watching, plan to watch, or just know are on the horizon. We also discuss Stephanie’s quickly changing views on certain BTS members and how KpopontheDL is planning on drama cheating on Stephanie with none other than Cherry Cordial! Will the podcast survive? To read the complete show notes, please visit the official w...
We’ve been promising, and now it’s here! The Epic Kfriend Tipsy End-of-the-Year Podcast! It is indeed epic, filled with Kfriends (the lovely ladies of Kchat Jjigae), tipsy (not sure if we promised tipsy, but it happened — it happened a lot), end-of-the-year (except, due to severe procrastination, it happened at the beginning of the new year) podcast. This episode, we chat more about dramas and then focus on the year in Kpop! Please note, this time around, due to popular demand the really inappro...
We’ve been promising, and now it’s here! The Epic Kfriend Tipsy End-of-the-Year Podcast! It is indeed epic, filled with Kfriends (the lovely ladies of Kchat Jjigae), tipsy (not sure if we promised tipsy, but it happened — it happened a lot), end-of-the-year (except, due to severe procrastination, it happened at the beginning of the new year) podcast. We’d tell you what we chatted about, but the whole thing is a blur. As this is a Kpop/Kdrama podcast we would hope we at least brush on the dramas ...
Last podcast of the year! We're chatting Jimin dancing it up at awards, Kwang Soo and his quest to make everyone cry *Why is it so dusty in here? Dang it, Kwang Soo!*, the possibility of Signal 2 , and end with what we're watching, which may or may not include a magical teleporting bathtub.

Twas the night before the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a fangirl was stirring not even… okay, that’s about as much as my creativity and rhyming skills hold out, but this episode, as it is the night before the night before Christmas, we talk about how the producers of Running Man are going to get coal in their stockings, how Santa decided we deserved BTS concert tickets for Christmas (as we have been very, very good girls), and end up with a nice holiday-themed Who Would ...
