Well here we are again. Our 3 hosts are joined once again with their producer to reflect on finishing the 4th season of the Korean Drama Podcast. We discuss our thoughts of Pachinko, a not-quite-but-technically a Korean drama with plenty of Drama, as well as our obligatory discussion of the show's hotties (and daddies). 

Thank you to all our listeners who have joined us over the past few weeks. We'll see you all again for Season 5!
