Take golden hour, a strawberry farm, and Ji Chang Wook and you have this drama 🍓🍓🍓

….

Join Elle & Maddie as they discuss the first two episodes of Merry Berry Love, the new Ji Chang Wook J / K-drama airing on Hulu this fall! Since they would watch JCW clean out a toaster for 12 episodes, they’ll certainly watch him fall in love with this adorable woman who owns farmland in rural Japan. Sign us up.

….

Merry Berry Love follows the male lead, Lee Yubin, as he loses everything to his name. That is, everything except one plot of land in the Japanese countryside. A plot of land that just so happens to also be owned by a spunky local, Karin. It’s Hallmark-ey and mindless and a great little binge for this fall. 

The girls hope you join them in watching!

Maddie & Christina are doing a Through Two on the new K-drama Between Steps! 💕

Maddie is here for Choo Young-woo. 😍 Christina is here because it's a SLICE OF LIFE drama AND it was directed by the late Ahn Pan-seok, who also directed Something in the Rain and One Spring Night! 👀

Between Steps follows Park Min-jae (Choo Young-woo – The Tale of Lady Ok, Head Over Heels), a former swimmer who lost his leg to cancer and is now pursuing a PhD in robotics. Meanwhile, Lim Yoo-jin (Kim So-hyun – Love Alarm, My Lovely Liar) is searching for a fresh start after her plans for the future fall apart. When their paths cross, Yoo-Jin discovers a new interest in robotics, and the two begin to develop feelings for each other.

Maddie & Christina share their first impressions, discuss the characters, and whether the first two episodes have them hooked!

Christina & Elle are going WAY back for their newest Throwback Series with the 2007 K-drama classic Coffee Prince! ☕️👑

In the first two episodes, they meet Go Eun-chan, a hardworking young woman who is often mistaken for a man, and Choi Han-gyeol, a wealthy chaebol trying to avoid the blind dates his grandmother keeps arranging. When their paths cross, Han-gyeol—believing Eun-chan is a man—hires her to pretend to be his boyfriend and scare off his potential matches. 😂

Christina & Elle chat about their first impressions, the VERY 2007 of it all, the characters, and whether this K-drama classic has them hooked after just two episodes.

Never seen Coffee Prince? Watch along with Christina & Elle! And for those who have, take a trip down memory lane as the ladies revisit this K-drama classic. ☕️

Maddie & Christina are FINALLY back to finish their Throwback Series on Shopaholic Louis! 🛍️

And, well…there’s a reason it took them a little while to get here. The second half of this drama was BRUTAL to get through. 😭 Christina has THOUGHTS, and she has to ask: could this possibly be the worst drama she’s ever seen…EVER?!

The ladies break down the final stretch of the drama—all the absolutely random things that happened, why the second male lead is constantly GROWLING whenever he doesn’t like something, and at what point the audience should become genuinely concerned about the number of times Louis gets hit in the head. 🫠

Was there anything they actually liked? (Maddie can answer this one for the team.) Did the ending redeem ANYTHING? And most importantly…was Shopaholic Louis worth the throwback?

Tune in for the FINAL review of Shopaholic Louis! 🎙️🛍️

Sooo, are you Team Chan or Team CEO???

….

Or. TEAM. ROY??? Always team Roy. 💕🥹🥹🥹

….

D.N.X.  D.N.X!

Maddie and Elle are here to talk their new favorite 3rd gen boy group, DNX!!!! + this drama too I guess LOL

…

Just kidding, today the girls are here to chat one of their favorite dramas from this year, “My Bias, My Boss”! This show was surprisingly amazing for an idol drama, especially since the first couple of episodes did not encourage their confidence. 😂 But this kdrama got steadily better every episode, and the last scene was actually the best of the entire show. 

…

My Bias, My Boss is a 12-episode KDrama that just aired this summer. It follows Nam Da-reum, a spunky and bubbly fan of kpop group D.N.X., as she follows member Lee Chan to the clothing company he founded. Expecting Lee Chan to be her boss, she’s initially disappointed to realize that the actual CEO is not Chan but Kang Ha-gi, a cold but (super sweet) childhood friend of Chan’s.

….

You can watch “My Bias, My Boss” on Viki now!

DNX LIVE REUNION TOUR WHEN????

….

Maddie and Elle are here to talk the first two episodes of the new idol rom-com “My Bias, My Boss”! While they always love idol shows (bonus points if there’s a fake idol group - CHECK), they can’t figure out if they can bias Lee Chan due to his high flirt levels LOL

.....

But, let’s be real, this show might have the making for an A+, unserious, kdrama romcom. 

• Chaotic FL? CHECK

• Non-celebrity ML in a 3-piece suit that she’ll choose instead of the famous idol she thinks she loves? CHECK 

• Secondhand embarrassment off the charts? CHECK CHECK CHECK

….

We hope you enjoy this Through Two, and let us know on our Discord channel if you’re watching, too!!

….

“My Bias, My Boss” is airing on Mondays and Tuesdays this August and can be found on Viki

Christina & Maddie are back to review Season 1 of Yumi’s Cells!

Maddie got HOOKED on this series after watching Season 3 first, and she's been going back to experience the first installment of this sweet K-drama.

Season 1 follows Kim Yumi (Kim Go Eun – Goblin, The King: Eternal Monarch), whose tiny brain cells hilariously guide her every emotion, decision, and overthinking moment. When Yumi meets Goo Woong (Ahn Bo Hyun – Itaewon Class, Her Private Life), she begins opening her heart again.

In other words, the ladies didn't seem to mind Wung's earnest and genuine personality... even if he showed up to their first date wearing flip-flops, shorts, and a T-shirt. 😂

What do neck massagers, missing brothers, bedazzled underwear, hockey portraits, and pain relief patches have in common? 

This drama, you guys. This drama.

…..

LOLOLOLOL Maddie and Christina are here for a midway review of Shopaholic Louis, the 2016 kdrama MASTERPIECE starring Seo In-guk and Nam Ji-hyun. This show is 100% not Christina’s cup of tea in any way, and that makes it really funny. Maddie likes it because it’s 12 levels of ridiculous + also Seo In-guk. Obviously.

For this review, enjoy Maddie defending this drama for 54 minutes straight HAHAHAHAHA

…..

Elle and Maddie are here to chat Sold out on You, the new Ahn Hyo-seop kdrama and may we say his hair looked greatttttttttt. Farm asthetic was 10/10 (and Maddie’s not usually into that kind of thing)

….

Was this kdrama objectively good? Ummmmmm

But Elle got through on 1.5 speed and Maddie declared it her drama of the year before realizing it’s actually 4th on the list out of like 5. Whoops. 

….

Enjoy the girls chatting up this drama, and we hope it gives you a good laugh!

💼💕 Maddie & Christina are here to Through Two See You at Work Tomorrow! Seo In-Guk has quickly become one of their favorite male leads of all time... and for good reason. 🤭✨

Burnout, office politics, and an unlikely connection take center stage in See You at Work Tomorrow. When exhausted employee Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun – Yumi's Cells, Do You Like Brahms?) is assigned to work under her blunt and intimidating boss, Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk – Death's Game, Boyfriend on Demand), the pair slowly discover that first impressions aren't always right. This workplace rom-com blends humor, heart, and healing as two coworkers become each other's greatest source of comfort. 🥹💛

The ladies are thoroughly enjoying this one and can't wait to see what happens next! 🫶

AYOOOOO, ANOTHER LEE JAEWOOK SHOW!!!!!

(or, as elle would say, another HONG MINGI SHOW)

…..

Elle and Maddie chat the first two eps of Doctor on the Edge. They talk the (minimal, but gross) medical scenes, Lee Jaewook’s charm, and Elle’s predicted second-male-lead syndrome. They love a good quirky small town feel, so they’re hoping this drama stays as good as it’s been so far!

…..

Doctor on the Edge is a currently-airing kdrama on Disney + / Hulu this summer. It stars Lee Jaewook as a plastic surgeon, forced to serve his mandatory military service as a doctor on a remote island, and Shin Ye-Eun as a nurse at the same hospital. Check it out on Mondays and Tuesdays through July 7, 2026!

The cells are in the HOUSE! 🧠💕

Christina FINALLY persuaded Maddie to watch Yumi's Cells 3, and Maddie is SO glad she did. As a HUGE fan of the Yumi's Cells series, Christina had been waiting years for this final installment—and to finally see Yumi's ENDGAME. 💖

Now a successful writer, Yumi (Kim Go-eun) is living the life she always dreamed of. But when a new relationship enters her life, her cells are once again thrown into chaos. 🧠💕

In this review, Christina & Maddie break down all eight episodes of Season 3, celebrate Yumi's incredible character growth, and absolutely SWOON over Soon-Rok. From laugh-out-loud cell moments to heartfelt romance, they loved every minute of this short but sweet final chapter.

Never watched Yumi's Cells before? Neither had Maddie—and she still fell in love with Season 3. 😘

This surprise is for ELLE!! 🎉🥳🎊🎈

The next installment of the Throwback Series is Shopaholic Louis. Elle has been wanting Maddie & Christina to review this sweet (but chaotic) show for a while, and now it’s time!

A spoiled chaebol heir loses his memory and ends up relying on a country girl to survive Seoul… and the result is pure chaotic comedy gold. 😂🛍️

Shopaholic Louis is funny, dramatic, ridiculous, and unexpectedly heartwarming.

Maddie & Christina are back for their FINAL review of When the Camellia Blooms 🌺✨ — and they definitely have thoughts. 👀

💛 Yong-sik & Dong-baek? They were obsessed.

🥺 Pil-gu & Dong-baek’s mother-son relationship? Absolutely precious.

😭 Dong-baek reuniting with her mom? They were happy to see it happen.

But the second half of the drama focusing on Jessica’s family and the Peanut Man redemption arc? That’s where things got a little questionable. 😅

The ladies break down everything they loved, things they weren’t totally sold on, and why they desperately needed more Yong-sik and Dong-baek scenes because those two were simply adorable. 🫶

Did the second half work for you? Let us know!👇

WE CALL THE CAMPUS CRUSH BOYFRIEND. DIBS.

….

No, actually Maddie wants Mr. Glasses as her fake boyfriend. She wants to go to the “Boyfriend on Demand” bubble thing in Boyfriend on Demand and date Seo In-guk. How’s that for meta. 

….

Elle and Maddie are here to chat up Boyfriend on Demand, the new popular Netflix KDrama starring Jisoo and Seo In-guk. (And, like, everyone else. LOL) It is known for having many super fun cameos (hi, doctor lee jaewook!), and a super unique concept.

Throwbacks back… ALRIGHT! – Backstreet Boys

Maddie & Christina are back for another installment of the Throwback Series! This is a beloved segment at Ya Girl’s where the ladies watch a past drama that they haven’t seen before.

This time they’re diving into When the Camellia Blooms. The drama follows a single mother named Dong-baek (Gong Hyo-jin, When the Stars Gossip & It’s Alright, This Is Love) who runs a bar in a judgmental small town and a lovable police officer named Yong-sik (Kang Ha-neul, Squid Game 2 & Moon Lovers) who falls head-over-heels for her.

In this Through Two, the ladies dive right into the characters and discuss the first two episodes. The serial killer plot is strong in this one, so they aren’t quite sure how they’ll like it yet!

📅 Aired: 2019

🎬 Episodes: 20

✨ New Drama Alert! ✨

The Practical Guide to Love just premiered last weekend and Christina & Elle are already on the mic breaking down the first two episodes! 🎙️

But the real question is… does this drama hit a little too close to home for Elle and her past dating experiences? 👀

The drama stars Han Ji-Min (One Spring Night, Love Scout) as a hotel purchasing team assistant manager who suddenly realizes she’s spent her whole life focused on surviving. Determined to change that, she starts going on blind dates.

Enter Park Sung-Hoon (The Glory, Squid Game) and Lee Ki-Taek (Namib) — two very different men who couldn’t be more opposite. As she navigates the dating world, she starts questioning what she really wants in a relationship.

💌 Will one of them be the right match… or will she discover something unexpected about herself?

The stylist/costume director NEEDS. A. RAISE. 👏 Every single outfit was top tier — especially Chief Hong and his many green ensembles (we noticed 👀💚).

Elle & Christina reviewed Can This Love Be Translated? and as HUGE Kim Sun-ho fans… they were THRILLED that all 12 episodes dropped at once. 🍿✨

This highly anticipated drama stars Go Youn-jung(Alchemy of Souls, Resident Playbook) as a glamorous actress and Kim Sun-ho (Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Start-Up) as an interpreter. Their careers take them to beautiful corners of the world 🌎 while they slowly get to know each other… and let’s just say, their dynamic is layered.

This drama really leans into how complicated love can be when you don’t communicate your feelings — when you’re technically speaking the same language, but emotionally… you’re not. 💔

All in all: everyone speaks a different language.

Maddie & Christina are back to review The Manipulated! Ji Chang Wook & D.O. were amazing in this show! They thoroughly enjoyed this drama and obviously hammed it up along the way.

Also, the ladies are still waiting for the long montage of Ji Chang Wook doing 900 push-ups… 👀

The Manipulated focuses on Park Tae-Joong, played by Ji Chang Wook (Healer, Welcome to Samdal-ri), who is framed by Ahn Yo-Han, played by D.O. (100 Days My Prince, Bad Prosecutor). Poor Tae-Joong is falsely accused of a brutal crime and sent to prison. He soon realizes it was all planned and that he was caught in the middle of it. As the story unfolds, Tae-Joong seeks revenge to reclaim the life that was so badly destroyed.

The Manipulated is a 12-episode K-drama available on Disney+ and Hulu.

Christina & Elle are back to finish their review of Dynamite Kiss!

…was it just them, or did everyone have the same thoughts about Dynamite Kiss’ ending?

This drama started out very strong, had so much potential, but kept going downhill since the midway mark (in their opinions). The Pod Sisters discuss the characters, the second-half main plot points, and dissect the ending.

Dynamite Kiss is a 14-episode drama available on Netflix.

What did you think of Dynamite Kiss? Let them know your thoughts! 🤍

YA GIRL'S KDrama Podcast is hosted by Maddie, Christina, and Elle—three friends brought together by their shared love of KDramas.

.....

Since 2022, we’ve been podcasting about everything from brand-new releases to beloved throwback dramas. We laugh, squeal, ham it up, and hype up the shows—while also SWOONING over the amazing male leads that grace our TV screens. 

....

As the Pod Sisters, we each bring different KDrama tastes to the table, which means there’s always something for every kind of viewer!

.....

Our episodes include reviews of old and new dramas, throwback series where we watch older shows for the first time, and our fan-favorite CHINGU CHATS —a segment created by Maddie and Christina where we talk about Korean-related topics and dive into popular KDrama tropes.

....

Thank you for finding our podcast. We hope listening brings you as much joy as recording and creating it brings us.

Maddie, Christina, and Elle

Christina and her dear friend Brynn review Typhoon Family! 

When his father dies suddenly, Kang Tae-Poong (Lee Joon-ho — The Red Sleeve, King the Land) becomes CEO of a struggling company called Typhoon Trading during Korea’s 1997 financial crisis. Along the way, he grows up fast, learning responsibility, resilience, and leadership. He finds support from Oh Mi-Seon (Kim Min-ha — Pachinko), a hardworking bookkeeper at the company who is also juggling her own family responsibilities. The two end up finding comfort, trust, and love while fighting to protect what remains.

Typhoon Family is a 16-episode drama available on Netflix.

Elle & Christina are back this week to talk about the highly anticipated new K-drama Surely Tomorrow! (We asked Maddie if she would like to join....she said, hard pass😂. We love you, Mads!)

The series stars Park Seo-Joon (Itaewon Class, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?) and Won Ji-An (Squid Game 2 & 3, If You Wish Upon Me).

The story jumps between the present and the past. Lee Kyeong-Do (Park Seo-Joon) is a reporter working on a scandal involving his ex-girlfriend’s husband. Because of this case, he reunites with Seo Ji-Woo (Won Ji-An).

They first met at twenty in a theater club and fell in love. They dated again at twenty-eight but eventually broke up. Now, the scandal brings them back together — and we’ll finally learn what happened between them.

Surely Tomorrow is a 12-episode series streaming on Amazon Prime. New episodes drop Saturdays and Sundays.

Christina and Elle are BACK for a MIDWAY REVIEW for Dynamite Kiss! 

They are loving this show and will be debriefing on episodes three through eight. A lot has happened so far. 

Some thing are for certain though… Ji-Hyeok & Da-Rim are whipped for each other, Jin is a great actor, and everyone is DYING to see what’s in store for the leads. 

Dynamite Kiss is a currently airing show on Netflix. New episodes come out every Wednesday & Thursday. Come watch it with the Pod Sisters! 

....

Make sure you listen to Through Two for Dynamite Kiss before tuning into this episode!

Christina & Elle are back for the final review of this year’s Would You Marry Me? 

It stars Jung Seo-min (Because This Is My First Life, Love Next Door) and Choi Woo-shik (Our Beloved Summer, Parasite). Jung Seo-min ends a bad relationship and needs to act quickly to secure a new house in a private community—and ironically finds a man with the exact same name as her ex. Oh my!

The ladies go through all the major storylines and debrief on the final two episodes of the show. While there were some cute parts in the drama, it felt a little flat and missed the mark in some areas.

What did you think of Would You Marry Me? Did you love it? Were your feelings mixed as well? Let them know!

Would You Marry Me? can be found on Hulu/Disney+, and it has 12 episodes. Make sure you listen to the “Through Two” of this drama before tuning in to this review!

As long as there isn’t a 3-episode-long salt selling competition in this drama, we think Kang Tae-oh will keep us in this one for the long haul

….

Maddie and Elle are here to talk about ELLE’S KDRAMA ULT, Kang Tae-oh (that man is foiinnnnnee). He plays a comical, jaded, lover-boy crown prince who desperately misses his wife and masks his pain by being weird and quirky. And shooting arrows shirtless in the rain. It’s great. He’s actually shirtless in basically every episode of this drama. BLESS. UP.

….

There’s also apparently a FREAK-FRIDAY body swap coming up???

….

Moon River is a currently-airing historical drama starring Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong. It will be 12 episodes long and is airing on Viki. Check it out!

Surprise! Christina & Elle watched the first two episodes of Dynamite Kiss and HAD to do an impromptu Through Two because this drama has to be talked about!

Dynamite Kiss is giving a classic romantic-comedy feel, and the Pod Sisters couldn’t be more excited.

Dynamite Kiss stars the lovely Ahn Eun-jin (My Dearest, The Good Bad Mother, Hospital Playlist) and the dashing Jang Ki-yong (The Atypical Family, My Roommate Is a Gumiho). Eun-jin plays Da-rim, a woman who is struggling to find a job after countless years of interviewing, and Ki-yong plays Ji-hyeok, the leader of a baby products company.

The chemistry is CHEMISTRY-ING. The sparks are flying. Da-rim is so sweet and kind, and Ji-hyeok is determined and super swoony. What more could you want?!

Dynamite Kiss is a Netflix drama, and new episodes come out every Wednesday and Thursday.

Tell the ladies what you think!

The final review of The Tale of Lady Ok is officially here! Is this Maddie’s drama of the YEAR?!

Wow, this show. The ladies can’t stop thinking about this drama and how it gripped them for all sixteen episodes.

In this final review, Maddie and Christina debrief episodes nine through sixteen. They gush about the characters and thought Lim Ji-yeon and Choo Young-woo were phenomenal. Why wasn’t this show talked about more?! This Joseon K-drama deserves all the recognition because it was everything and more. 🤍

…

Don’t forget to check out the Through Two & Midway Review of The Tale of Lady OK where the ladies talk about the beginning and middle episodes of this drama. 

….

The Tale of Lady Ok came out at the end of 2024 and is available on Kocowa (the free trial is worth it… just sayin’).

Came for Ji Chang-wook + D.O., stayed for legit EVERYTHING

…..

We’re loving this, y’all. And Maddie typically never watches psychological thrillers (like literally ever). But this show is doinggggg ittttt forrrr ussss.

….

The Manipulated is a new 12-episode kdrama about a normal (hot) guy who gets framed for a gruesome murder and seeks revenge on the man who framed him. These first two episodes had us on the edge of our seats and, although this drama is aiming for a lot, we think they’re going to deliver!

….

Check out “The Manipulated” on Disney+ and Hulu

….

P.S. PRO TIP!!! U.S. viewers - watch it on the Hulu app in order to get it without english dubs! (At least, that worked for us!)

What do Property Brothers and this drama have in common?

.....

weirdly, several things ?

......

We love a slightly-confusing drama!!! Theory-creating is Elle's kdrama love language, so this is gonna be a fun ride for us here at YA GIRL'S. (Listen through to the end to hear Elle's theory of the century.)

....

Last Summer is a new kdrama starring THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND, LEE JAE-WOOK (we luv him). It's about..... um..... we kinda don't want to say much because that's the fun of it. Just trust us that he looks great and we think y'all will like it. It has young romance and cute townies and a perfect dog.

....

Check out "Last Summer" on Viki!
