1 to Sarang Kpop & Kdrama Podcast06. What's Up Loc: Kdrama Settings and Pyeong Sang RomanceDo you, like us, get completely entranced by certain scenes in our favorite Kdramas? Doesn't it feel sometimes like you are actually in that very same place as the characters? This is the power of great visual storytelling and, particularly, a well thought-out scene location. In this episode, it's all about Kdrama locations that are characters in itself, our curiousity about the ever-present pyeong sang, and how we want to have our parks back (how we go to this thought alamin niyo nalang).

1 to Sarang Kpop & Kdrama Podcast03. 3 Girls, 2 Days, 1 NightIt was in the middle of the August 2021 lockdown that we all started talking about 2 Days 1 Night. And during that anxiety-filled time, nakahanap kami ng some form of healing through the show, and through our constant discussions about it. The show gave us warm company through its wonderful cast; it gave us a chance to escape through the sights and sounds of Korea, and it gave us lightness and laughter through its insanely hilarious games and scenarios. And we want to share this with you! Hoping we can turn some listeners into 2D1N fans!
