YA GIRL'S KDrama Podcast

Maddie & Christina are back with a midway review of The Crowned Clown! They debrief episodes three through eight. This Joseon drama continues to surprise them, and they truly don’t know how the story will end.

One thing’s for sure: they LOVE Ha-Sun and the Queen, they adore Squishy Eunuch Jo (SEJ for short), and they’re still on the fence about Mr. Secretary.

Let the girls know if you’re also watching—or if you’ve already seen th...

Elle & Christina are here to talk about the first two episodes of GOOD BOY! This drama centers around former Olympic medalists who have faced injury or scandal. They are recruited into a special police task force and later dubbed the “Olympic Avengers.”

Maddie & Christina are back for another throwback drama! They have never seen this Joseon-era drama before and are very intrigued by the premise — and WANT TO SEE MORE OF YEO JIN-GOO.

The Crowned Clown tells the story of a struggling king named Lee Hun and a clown performer named Ha Sun who look IDENTICAL. Ha Sun is brought to the palace to stand in for the king and must adapt quickly to royal life. Along the way, Ha Sun end...

Christina & Maddie are here to review Hotel Del Luna! (Christina needed a palate cleanser after the Moon Lovers ending—IYKYK.)

Hotel Del Luna stars the fabulous IU (My Mister, Moon Lovers, When Life Gives You Tangerines) as Jang Man-Wol and the cutie pie Yeo Jin-Goo (The Crowned Clown, Link: Eat, Love, Kill) as Koo Chan-Sung. This story is about a mysterious hotel that caters only to ghosts. Man-Wol has been the hotel’s owner fo...

BUNNY AND ALL HER (super difficult) PROBLEMS

Crushology 101 is over and both Elle and Maddie are super sad about it! Was this show a 10/10 slam-dunk? Not quite. But it did have sooo many great parts and made them crazy emo every week.

Christina & Elle are here to debrief about the first two episodes of Tastefully Yours! This drama seems like it will be a short and sweet rom com with funny banter and great townspeople.

SPOILER: Elle luuuuvs this drama 

….

Spring of Youth is a short, sweet college idol drama, and the actual definition of unserious.  Elle and Maddie have never seen a drama cram this amount of plot into the first two episodes, and they’re cracking up because they cannot begin to guess where this story is going.

If you love fun, lighthearted, Disney Channel coded KDramas - THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. LOL.

….

ALSO. Did Spring of Youth have the wei...

THE LADIES HAVE MADE IT (well, two of the Pod Sisters did - we love you, Elle😘). Out of all the endings that could have happened, they were not expecting this outcome and BOY did they have THOUGHTS. 

Maddie and Christina do a deep dive of the ending and discuss their comments, questions, and concerns. They felt that the fourth prince did a complete 180 at the end and still have not recovered by what they witnessed from the end ...

Do we wanna be part of this MERMAID LORE world? We dunno

….

Christina, Elle and Maddie finished The Legend of the Blue Sea (like 2 months ago LOLOLOLOL) and are here to talk about it!

4 HOT GUYS IN LOVE WITH HER, AND THIS IS HER PROBLEM. 

….

Obviously, we all share the same issues as this FL. I commonly declare that I will “only date hot guys from now on”, and then run into half-a-dozen in a day. All who simultaneously fall in love with me. It’s stressful, ok.

…..

Crushology 101 is a super cute, fluffy college drama that is seeming to be a perfect spring binge. Maddie and Elle loved the first two episodes, and have ...

An ultimate bias (ult bias for short) refers to the one idol that is the fan’s absolutely favorite - someone they admire the most, whether for their talent, personality, visuals, or overall impact. 

Christina & Elle review Her Private Life! Both of them LOVE this show and first watched it during the pandemic when they weren’t full blown fan girls yet. BTS was the only group Elle was into up until that point (WILD, RIGHT????). 

He...

Name a completely under-appreciated 10/10 drama - I’LL GO FIRST!!

…

Undercover High School is a great kdrama. It has comedy, action, romance, mystery, intrigue. Every character is one you either love or love to hate. Elle and Maddie would totally recommend this drama to anyone (as long as you don’t need it to be realistic, lol)

….

In short - Seo Kang-joon plays THE “ACE” of the NIS, and he’s sent to Byeongmun High School to pretend to ...

Kang Tae-ter-tots Oh is BACK and BUFFER than ever

How we feeling about The Potato Show, y’all? The girls are a litttttle unsure after the first two episodes, but they are hoping it picks up.

....

In this Through Two, they talk the first two episodes of The Potato Lab and chat through our unlikeable Male Lead (FLASH US THAT FAMOUS SMILE, KTO), kind-of unlikeable Female Lead (so far), and (potentially) unlikeable townies. In other wo...
