About this podcast
Annyeonghaseyo! We are Grace and Sarah, Asian KDrama fans who love to ask, and hopefully find answers to, all of our (and your) Asian drama questions. We cover everything, from silly topics to sensitive and serious issues that come up as we binge.
We'll also share some Korean and Chinese language tips, as well as our experiences as diaspora Asians living in the UK and US.
Join us as we delve into the details and societal context of the dramas we all love!
