In this episode, we talk about the role of bullying in Kdramas as well as the Netflix Korean drama "The Glory." "The Glory" stars Song Hye-kyo (Autumn in My Heart, Descendants of the Sun) and Lee Do-hyun (Good Mother, Bad Mother, Sweet Home). It was directed by Ahn Gil-ho (⁠Record of Youth⁠, Stranger⁠) and was written by THE Kim Eun-sook, a hitmaker who wrote Heirs⁠ (2013), ⁠Descendants of the Sun⁠ (2016), Goblin and many others. It received eight nominations at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards and won Best Drama, Best Actress for Song Hye-kyo, and Best Supporting Actress for Lim Ji-yeon.

Lenora and Dr. Chi had a lot to get off of their chests about Little Women, a Kdrama starring Kim Go-eun-- at least that' how Dr Chi sees it. We laugh over predictability and character life choices to make sense of the Kdrama.

We had a Kdrama Support Group session with podcasters Song Rae and Something Else of the amazing Black Girl Seoul podcast. The session was held on Twitter Spaces, so we got fellow Kdrama friends Folashade (@folashadeBidemi) MyOhMy (@DaisiesOh) KDrama Gear Plus (@KDramaGear).

In this episode, Dr. Chi sits down to interview Carol Markwei of The Kdramatics. She shares how she started her love of Kdramas way before many non-Koreans knew about them. Listen to her recs for how to make recs, faves old and new, and what she wishes every Kdrama fan knew.

We’re Lenora and Dr. Chi! Welcome to Kdrama Support Group! We’re two fans who enjoy watching Korean dramas and rely on each other to celebrate, critique, and question the magic of Kdramaland.  In our first episode, we get into the recent Korean drama called Extraordinary Attorney Woo.
