No Subtitles Needed for Romance
A podcast for the romantic, where C-dramas are saving romance one episode at a time. I’m your host Karena. I recently found C-Dramas by accident…
Because here’s what I have recently discovered. C-dramas are giving women something American entertainment stopped offering… ROMANCE! Real, intentional, slow burn, swoon worthy drama.

Each week, I will break down two episodes of a C-drama to analyze the journey, the drama and the romance.
