Play on K

Emily and Raquel are back with another four episodes of ‘Her Private Life’! We laughed, we cried, we cursed and we felt all the feels this week (mostly frustration, but also the rest). Watch episodes 5 through 8 and join us here for our brutally honest and emotional review.

We started a new drama this week! In this episode, we dive into the wonderful world of ‘Her Private Life’ where the actors are stunning, the animations and sound design are on point, and the tertiary characters are… meh. Go watch the first four episodes and then join us here as we nitpick our least favorite parts, overshare our personal lives, and gush over this gem of a show.

It has been a few years since Raquel and Emily started Play on K, so we thought it was high time to record a new introduction episode where we aren’t huddled around one $20 microphone in Emily’s dad’s basement rambling on about how much we love Korean dramas. We are real adults now who moved out, bought our own mics and live halfway across the world from each other. And now when we rave about K-dramas people listen. Why? We’re not quite sure. Whether you like us or like K-dramas or just want to make a couple awkward friends, join us every week as we cover four episodes of a drama and talk about everything we’re unqualified to cover from character development to cinematography to fashion.

We have made it to the final chapter in this heartwarming love story called ‘Encounter’. Join us as we count the ways in which we loved this drama, misuse big words, and try to steal credit for all of your eloquent reviews. This extra-special bonus episode also has lots of toe-tapping in the background courtesy of our third host, Raquel’s dog, Maurice.

We did it! We finally finished this beautiful, slow-burning show and are so excited to share our thoughts with you all! Go watch episodes 13 - 16 and join us here as we decide how important each character was to the story, struggle to pronounce Hye In, and plan Raquel’s dream wedding! Then leave a comment on our website (playonk.com), send us a message on Twitter (@playonk), email us ([email protected]) and rate, review and subscribe to our podcast on iTunes! Thank you as always to James Hevel for our theme song.

We are back with our third week of ‘Encounter’ where we review episodes 9-12 of this ever-evolving drama! Join us as we groan at all the product placements then immediately turn around and talk about Subway for five minutes (for zero sponsorship dollars because we are fools).

We are back with another episode of ‘Encounter’ this week! Join us as we delve into episodes 5 through 8 and discuss everything from ratchet (yes, we are bringing back “ratchet”) masks to overabundant flashbacks to good pasta.

We're diving into a new K drama this week! Welcome to ‘Encounter’ which features the most beautiful leads we’ve ever seen, two of the craziest moms of any drama out there, and a few good good side characters all living in a magical, early-2000’s Indie movie. If you haven’t watched this one yet we can’t recommend it enough. Go watch the first four episodes of ‘Encounter’ and join us here for our review!

We also have a new look! We’re excited to start a new chapter in our podcast journey and have decided to re-brand to represent ourselves more. The only things that are changing are the cover art and website so you can still expect the same great content as always from us. We hope you enjoy our new “bus stop girls” cover art and share the word about our podcast with your drama-loving friends!

All good things must come to an end and so we reach the final episode of our ‘Touch Your Heart’ coverage. Join us this week as we share the viewpoints of our fellow K drama fans, talk about our favorite secondary characters, and get distracted by Soompi quizzes.

We finally finished ‘Touch Your Heart'! What is there to say about this wonderfully adorable show? Tune in here as we present our closing arguments on relationships at any age, overabundant product placements, and lackluster makeovers.
