Kchat Jjigae Podcast

In this episode, Cherry Cordial and special guests Leila and Xe dive into the fantasy, costume drama world of The Untamed. We discuss the decades long, drift compatible, (canon gay!) soulmate romance between ancient Chinese cultivators Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. Communicated solely through longing gazes, unflagging loyalty and trust, shared ethics, and a little melodramatic fainting, this relationship is searingly romantic, without anything so prosaic as kiss scenes. (Who are we kidding, fanfic links in show notes!)

What a difference a week makes, guys! We're talking about the reveal of the official Kchat Jjigae Discord — or how Cherry Cordial is managing staying away from the news — poke in at some comfort watches and how necessary they are, then finish up with some… fun quizzes.

In this episode we're talking about the dramas we're watching and yes, that includes the recent release of Kingdom 2, that we binged in a night. (Does it count as a binge if it's only a couple of hours long?) Don't worry to those of you who haven't seen it, we keep all spoilers (and there will be spoilers) to the very end.

What are you watching? Nothing! You? Me neither! Just kidding! We've actually got a bunch under our belts this episode, Cherry continuing her revisit of Can You Hear My Heart and choosing her and Leila's next duo watch. Stephanie's feeling better about Why R You while recovering from a random Thai pop rabbit hole she and Alix stumbled down.

In this episode, we both look back and forward at Kdrama! Checking in with exciting new and upcoming shows from the likes of Park Min Young, Ryu Deuk Hwan, Jang Hyuk, AND Kim Soo Hyun — which seems fitting, as we're also looking back at popular dramas that turn 10 this year! Do they stand up to time?

What are you watching? We're watching so much! Or it's been so long, a lot has stacked up. We've heard it both ways. Cherry finally finishes The Untamed, Stephanie falls in love with Nu'est and then they actually watched some shows together. Not a bad haul.

We're back after a mini-break and have much to report Denver concert-wise! We talk about Denver's first Kpop Concert with cuties, VANNER. Stories of awkwardly fan signing, wet handed high touches, proper idol/phone etiquette, and even more awkward photographs with the group. (Us of course, not them!) With special highlights of post-concert diner experience with VANNER!

Big news in the swell of the Hallyu wave here in the US. We're discussing the possible success of Monsta X's decision to visit almost every city in the US.

It's a very exciting day here at the Kchat Jjigae podcast. We have some very special guests. They might be a bit distracted, distracting, attention seeking, and trouble making! Or the episode where we talk about all the shows we're watching, while Cherry's new kittens make fools out of Stephanie in the background. As it's been a while since we've talked about what we're watching, there are so many dramas, variety shows, YouTube videos, and movies to talk about!
