Beyond The Romance Drama Podcast
Welcome to Beyond The Romance Drama Podcast, or Beyond The Romance, for short, the podcast where I, your host Carolyn Hinds, and guest/s discuss our favorite Asian dramas, (both old and new). In each episode we'll explore both the good, the bad and the not sore pretty elements of the chosen drama, be it the emotional performances, stunning wardrobe, and frustrating plot developments or the over used tropes we all love to complain about but secretly wish would happen to us. I'm still waiting on my piggyback ride in the rain. I'm a Tomatometer-Approved critic and journalist, and apart from Beyond The Romance, I also host Carolyn Talks..., which is a sub-podcast of the So Here's What Happened! Podcast which I co-host with LaNeysha Campbell. Both podcasts can be found here on Acast, and ButWhyThoPodcast.com.

On July 9th and 10th, I took part in the 2022 KPSN Podcast Fest to raise awareness and funds for Minority Mental Health Awareness, and as such, I thought it was only fitting that It's Ok, That's Love be the drama ...
In my new episode of Beyond The Romance I chat with my friend Ray Liu about one our favorite Korean Dramas GOBLIN, starring #GongYoo #KimGoEun #LeeDongWook #YooInNa and #YookSungJae. Yes, Goblin is problematic when you look at the age differences between Eun-tak and Kim-shin when they first meet...it's a very wide gap. Ray and I do get into that, and why with that in consideration GOBLIN is one of my favorite dramas mostly for the ...

In this first episode of Beyond The Romance for 2022, I was joined by my friend Stitch, to discuss the pretty and not so pretty traits of the Korean youth drama True Beauty.

Though both Stitch and I enjoyed the True Beauty mainly for the acting and the subversion of ...

In episode 5 of Beyond The Romance Drama Recap, Carolyn shares her thoughts on Korean dramas Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Squid Game, Yumi's Cells and The Tasty Florida.
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha is a charming and sweet rom-com that's the perfect palate cleanser if you've been watching a lot of heavy dramas and films recently. Centered around Yoon Hye-jin (Shin Min-ah) a dentist who winds up moving from the hustle and bustle of Seoul where ...
For my latest episode of Beyond The Romance, I was joined by Christine Ko, Producing Director (PD) and Co-creator of the JTBC and Netflix Korean legal drama Law School.

Hi everyone, thank you so much for listening to my podcast. I took a short break but I'm back!

For the second episode of Beyond The Romance, I and my guest Yetide Badaki, share our thoughts on how from the very first episode It's Ok To Not Be Ok carefully illustrates the path each of the characters take to healing when memories of painful secrets that though they would rather they remain hidden, are confronted because they realize they can't remain locked in their emotional prisons forever.

For the inaugural episode of Beyond The Romance, I thought it only fitting to celebrate the show's 13 years of popularity and cultural impact, by discussing all the ways Coffee Prince made me and my two guests, Josie and Joycelyn, swoon, cheer, cry and groan in frustration, and how our opinions on the story and characters have changed over the years.
