Accidental Kiss💋: An Asian Drama Podcast

Faith welcomes guest Natisha to Accidental Kiss to analyze representation in the K-drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo. They discuss the show’s depiction of autism, the strengths and limits of its portrayal, and how gender, class, and social bias shape the characters and cases.

Listen to host Faith with guests Ayumi and Alisa gush about the Japanese version of Cherry Magic: 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard and dive into its LGBT, gender, and Japanese workplace representation. 

Accidental Kiss is finally back with a special new episode! This is the super collab you've all been waiting for. Listen to Faith (@accidentalkiss on IG) team up with Alisa (@daebakpodcast.bsky.social), Melanie (Paradesi Reviews), and Katherine (TotallyFilmi.com) from Daebak Podcast and extra special guest RK (@rohtweets.bsky.social) compare the Korean and Japanese versions of the critically acclaimed drama, Marry My Husband. And of course, there is some discussion of gender representation as well.

Which version of Marry My Husband will come out on top? Well, you gotta listen to find out!

Faith is finally back with a new Asian drama podcast episode and a new awesome guest, Mina from the Kpop Bookshelf Podcast! Listen to Faith and Mina discuss the representation in "Reborn Rich", the exhilarating time-traveling drama that gives you an inside look into the life of an old-school Korean chaebol family. 

Faith is doing something a bit different this time. Instead of the usual representation discussion, she has decided to do a good old-fashioned in-depth drama review on Netflix's live-action Yu Yu Hakusho (2023) series. Join her and Red as they tell you the good, the bad, and the meh.

Here I (Faith) try out a new unscripted review format. Hear my non-spoiler reviews of my current favorite j-dramas and my ratings for their representation. It's short and sweet so I hope you enjoy it!

It's a new year and Wathanya and Faith are back with a new podcast episode. Thanks to all of you who suggested it. We hope you enjoy our discussion about the representation in the Korean drama Her Private Life.

We are FINALLY releasing a new episode. We sincerely apologize for the delay. We've had a lot on our plates lately. Now we know we said we would release the Korean Drama Her Private Life next but we got to recording and editing this one first. So please join Wathanya and Faith as they tackle the representation in the Japanese drama Black School Rules Part 1 with special guest Ayumi from the Sparkleside Chats with Magical Girl Ayu podcast. The audio quality is a bit lower than usual and the episode is quite long but we hope you all will still enjoy it!
