This episode takes us back to Suspicious Partner, the drama where Ji Chang-wook truly delivered. As prosecutor Noh Ji-wook, he finds himself wrapped up in a legal tangle with rookie lawyer Eun Bong-hee (Nam Ji-hyun), who’s been falsely accused of murder. Between courtroom battles and unexpected romance, this drama had us hooked from the first episode… or did it? Tune in to hear some polarizing takes – then come tussle in the DMs if you’d like!

The aptly named Thirty-Nine takes us into the world of three best friends on the cusp of their forties. Played by Son Ye-jin, Jeon Mi-do, and Kim Ji-hyun, the trio navigate careers, love, family (drama), and life, nje. Akunna (@akunnaonwu), a Day 1, joined this episode and brought laughs, shade, mispronunciations, and more to this review. Tune in for a chuckle and occasional seriousness - and tell us your KFC rating!

Following their run as the second couple in Goblin, Yoo In Na and Lee Dong Wook return to the screen as the leads in this lighthearted rom-com. Oh Yoon Seo is an actress preparing for her comeback to the big screen by filling a short-term role as Attorney Kwon Jung Rok’s secretary. An office drama can only mean hijinks from a (hopefully hilarious) supporting cast. Tune in for the review and tell us if this drama (ahem) touched your heart!

In this episode, we dive into the world of high school, beauty standards, and self-discovery with True Beauty. The drama follows Lim Ju-kyung (played by Moon Ga-young), a high school student who masters the art of makeup to transform herself from a bullied outcast into a confident "goddess." But what happens when the school’s top heartthrobs, Lee Su-ho (Cha Eun-woo) and Han Seo-jun (Hwang In-yeop), see beyond the makeup? Join us as we unpack the love triangles, friendships, and the deeper messages about self-esteem and inner beauty.

Gyeongseong Creature sees a Korean businessman, father-daughter duo, and many others band together in a fight for survival during the Japanese occupation. Han So Hee portrays the relentless, no-nonsense Yoon Chae-ok, who is on a mission to find her missing mother, while Park Seo Joon plays the wealthy, borderline arrogant, do-what-you-gotta pawnshop owner, Jang Sang-Tae. We had a blast reviewing this drama with our Day 1, Ronell. Tune in and tell us what you thought!

What’s better than a revenge drama? One that includes some kind of time travel! Kang Ji-won (portrayed by Seoulmate fave Park Min-young) gets a chance to go back ten years in time to live her life differently and escape a messy fate at the hands of her husband - and so-called bestie. Benny, our A-one since Day 1, popped in to share her thoughts and drop a KFC rating of Marry My Husband!

The Red Sleeve had us seriously reflecting on the dynamics between the Crown Prince and the court lady he falls in love with. (As in - are we the problem here?) Lee Jun Ho and Lee Se Young (sorry for mis-naming her in this episode) are captivating as the lead characters, Yi San and Deok Im, respectively. One of our favorite Seoulmates since Day 1, Sandra, joins us to review this gripping, award-winning historical drama!

Given the chance, how many times would you go back in time to try to change fate and save the love of your life? That’s a question we’d like Im Sol (portrayed by Kim Hye-yoon) to answer about Ryu Sun Jae. Ratings aside, a drama that creates new pr-OPPA-ganda (hello, Byeon Woo-seok) is surely worth checking out! Tune in to hear if our guest, Margareth (host of KDrama Chingus), agreed!

What do you get when you mix the desire for power and immortality with a sprinkle of magic, a pinch of martial arts, and a dash of mistaken identity? The plot of Alchemy of Souls. In the land of Daeho, we meet an elite warrior and the heirs of four wealthy families who possess special powers to be used for good (in theory). This two-part drama had us taking notes, from beginning to end, to keep track of the characters and plot twists!

Following an unfortunate, career-wrecking incident, photographer Cho Sam-dal returns to her hometown of Jeju. While trying to get back on her feet, she is reunited with her former sweetheart, Cho Yong-pil (a weather forecaster), and her childhood friends. Plot aside, K-drama heavy hitters Shin Hye Sun and Ji Chang Wook remind us that excellent actors will deliver on ANY script! Tune in and let us know your KFC rating of this drama.
