Kchat Jjigae Podcast

A podcast to help you with that raging Kdrama addiction — because fangirls shouldn’t have to spazz alone. General topics include, but are not limited to, Korean drama (how much we love it) and Kpop (we like that too, well — some of it) — basically anything even remotely related to Korean entertainment. With your hosts Stephanie and Cherry Cordial. Show notes are available at kchatjjigae.com

The End. 01/01/2022

The End. It's our very last episode! Before we get to that very important end, we have some very important things to talk about! Finishing the drama Happiness, finally starting Strong Woman Do Bong Soo and the angsty Rain or Shine. We'll also talk about Stephanie's favorite songs of 2021, do our last series of 'Who Would Yous' provided by Xe, and then find out... who exactly is our second lead soulmate! (The answer may shock you.) All this before saying the final goodbye. Thanks, friends. /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/21646094

Christmasy Watches 12/24/2021

Christmasy Watches We all thought this was going to be our last episode, but after looking at the schedule, Stephanie decided to squeeze in an extra one before the end of the year! This episode is a 'what we're watching' episode, finishing up Medical Examiner: Dr Qin, movie night with SaraG and Park Seo Joon in Divine Fury, and binging the new drama Happiness! After, it's time to figure out what dramas to watch over the Christmas holiday! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/21596096

All The Dramas Fit To Drink 12/10/2021

All The Dramas Fit To Drink The original idea that the discussion of this episode would be about all the shows coming up in December, but after the realization that this is our last episode about upcoming shows.... we should probably broaden that to shows in December and the exciting ones that have been announced for 2022! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/21447980

The Farewell Tour - Podcast Edition 11/26/2021

The Farewell Tour - Podcast Edition In this Thanksgiving episode, we're taking our dog bud, Lucy, along on a walk to our favorite area in order to talk the very important news, the decision to shut down Kchat Jjigae. Well, talk about it after a lot of waffling. It's hard! Then in order to shake all those emotions off, let's talk about all the things that Stephanie watched while away. Including being THAT person on a plane, laughing to Going Seventeen, and jumping while watching the episode of the zombie series, Kingdom: Ashin of the North. /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/21293060

Commuting With Kpop 11/05/2021

Commuting With Kpop Stephanie's been doing a lot of commuting lately, which means that Stephanie has been listening to a lot of Kpop lately, care to join her for a ride and a chat about all the new music coming out, music that has been out that we missed, concerts that are coming back, and most importantly, the recent Miyavi concert which blew through Denver??? /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/21059237

To Miyavi Or Not To Miyavi 10/15/2021

To Miyavi Or Not To Miyavi First off, this is NOT an episode about Miyavi. Spoiler Alert. No, this episode is about all the shows up on shows currently being watched. Hospital Playlist, NOT Squid Game, Go Go Squid, You Are My Spring, Bite Me, Don’t Say No, and more but it's also about the decision of whether to go to the Denver Miyavi show. /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/20834201

Haircut and Lipstick! 10 Years of Drama 10/01/2021

Haircut and Lipstick! 10 Years of Drama As Stephanie paces her house attitude pumped by the power of a new haircut and lipstick, let's celebrate a very important Kdrama anniversary! Ten Years of Watching! Ten years is a very long time and we can't help but notice the changes that have occurred not only in the genre but in drama watching habits themselves...mostly all for good. Also, in the aftermath of experiencing the first post COVID concert, it seems like a pretty good time to discuss the differences between Kpop and non-kpop concerts! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/20669537

Kpop Library and Upcoming Netflix! 09/17/2021

Kpop Library and Upcoming Netflix! While this isn't an episode Stephanie's talking about what she's watching, she can't help but talk about binging Hospital Playlist... all in the name of a challenge with Korean fried chicken on the line! No, this episode is really about the new app, Kpop Library and allll the new upcoming Netflix shows. Its beginning to look a lot like some really good tv! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/20508602

Ughhhh...The Ending 09/03/2021

Ughhhh...The Ending Welcome back, guys! In this episode Stephanie fills you in on what’s been going on this year, talks about the biggest and best A.C.E party to ever exist, and then works her way into dramas. So many dramas. Binging Hospital Playlist, swimming through Go Go Squid (yes she’s late to both parties), and then talking about all the disappointing endings to the BLs she’s been watching lately. New trend? Hope not! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/20355272

Episode 279: Imminently Incoming Kdramas 08/20/2021

Episode 279: Imminently Incoming Kdramas Realizing that Ji Chang Wook has a new show that's coming out brought the other realization....we haven't checked out upcoming shows in a while! The end of August through September is jam-packed with kdramas to fit everyone's tastes! High action with The Veil and D.P, comedy with You Raise Me Up and Yumi's Cells, and romance with Lost and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha....plus so much more! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/20203196

Dark Hole of Dramas 08/06/2021

Dark Hole of Dramas What's happening? Just chilling with Lucy the Lab while chatting about what is on the watching plate! While there was sobbing through Move To Heaven, groaning through the terrible Stuck On You, and some reaching backward in time to the shouty Go Go Squid, really we're excited to have finished Dark Hole and look forward to spoiling it while trying to figure out exactly what was going on in that thing! (Don't worry, DH isn't talked about until the very end so you won't get spoiled if you haven't seen it!) /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/20052227

Too Old For Kpop? 07/23/2021

Too Old For Kpop? Recently it was brought to our attention that Kpop fans of a certain age are weird or creepy. For some reason, it really struck a chord so we're exploring the possibility. Is there some truth to it? Or are these dumb people we should never listen to? Let's talk this out. /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/19904783

Unexpected Zombies 07/10/2021

Unexpected Zombies Even with extracurricular non-drama watching activities, there is much drama to talk about in this episode! There were attempts made on many a drama including School Nurse Files, Stuck on You and YDestiny. Fish Upon the Sky has finished and Be Loved In House is headed in that direction. This weekend we picked up the possible KinnPorche knock-off Golden Blood, and then to top it all off there were zombies and monsters and serial killers (oh my!) in the OCN horror suspense series, Dark Hole! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/19764497

Tipsy Kpop Concerts With SaraG 06/26/2021

Tipsy Kpop Concerts With SaraG Concerts are coming back which seems like the perfect time for Stephanie and SaraG to tipsily talk about the concerts we've been to, who we regret not seeing, and making a plan for all the kpop concerts we're sure are going to come flooding back at any time... Come on boys, we're ready for you! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/19612682

Fifteen Times The Fun 06/11/2021

Fifteen Times The Fun Stephanie was VERY surprised at the number of dramas she’s either currently watching or finished since our last podcast! So many things have happened this month: Lee Ji Hoon made her uncomfortable...and not in a good way, texting coworkers at 11:30 at night to squee about a show, finally finding NCT’s Doyoungie in his acting debut, and the foretold news of A.C.E’s upcoming release! Chatting Love Is Science?, Move to Heaven, My Unicorn Girl, Lovely Writer, Fighting Mr Second, and so many more. /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/19438820

Conversations On the Dog Walk 05/29/2021

Conversations On the Dog Walk This episode we’re taking our favorite gal Lucy for a walk and while she sniffs, pees on things, eats grass and tries to dive bomb into a lake, we’re going to talk about the Monsta X announcement, ponder who we’d like to have a Kconversation with vs staring at creepily from across the room, talk cup sleeve events, and surprisingly a whole bunch more! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/19283027

Slice of Life, Just Not THAT Life 05/14/2021

Slice of Life, Just Not THAT Life Stephanie learns sometimes when a girl gets a covid shot, the best drama to watch is one you don’t care about! Otherwise known as Ghost Runner. The watching time was better served with a non-pronounceable Japanese drama, catching up with HIStory 4 and Lovely Writer, before diving into the new YDestiny and Fish Upon The Sky! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/19102292

Our Pal Val - Conversations With A Newbie 05/01/2021

Our Pal Val - Conversations With A Newbie This episode newbie Kpop/Drama watcher, power crafter, and all-around swell gal, Val joins the podcast. We chat the things currently tickling her fancy and how she got into them. Her new desire to learn ATEEZ, her deep and abiding love for Got7, how this has morphed into a fair amount of drama watching, and a killer collection of Kpop inspired pottery. During this time of the pandemic, it's been so nice to meet a new friend and help turn them into a raving Kpop fan...you know, a little bit of normal! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/18934016

Dramawatching OnDemand 04/16/2021

Dramawatching OnDemand Sometimes you need a little help to watch a drama and then sometimes you need someone to tell you to sit your butt down in front of that tv and just watch that show! I think we all know where Stephanie is currently living. Talking about Devil Punisher, My Unicorn Girl, A Tale of 1000 Stars, Lovely Writer, Color Rush, Shall We Dance and the slightly horrifying HIStory 4.270 /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/18744671

Two Day Affair 04/03/2021

Two Day Affair Podcast week! Since last time there was drama watching chat, this episode, not so much. Talking (ranting) the cancellation of Joseon Exorcist, debating the idea of JB being a better fit for H1ghr Music vs AOMG as a soloist, and some fun new shows that are coming up! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/18592262

Screen Time 03/19/2021

Screen Time Do you ever count up the hours of dramas you watch? Episode here, an episode there, then you realize, in the last month you watched ALL of Manner of Death, We Best Love, Hours of Tale of a Thousand Stars, Run On, Let's Fight Ghost! Let's count them all up and see how many hours...no, never mind, let's not do that, bad idea. Eventually, we'll have to admit to how much 'screen time' it amounts to and you'd just embarrass yourself. If you don't count, you don't know, right? /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/18387554

The One With The Coffee 03/06/2021

The One With The Coffee In the last-ditch of winter here in Colorado, a cold and rainy night, we're going to sit here under a cozy blanket, drink hot coffee and talk about stuff. First on the list the recent breakup between Spotify and Kakao M and then a foray into all of the awesome-sounding new kdramas coming in this month. Seriously, so many! Gotta get watching! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/18211439

Fifty-Fifty 02/22/2021

Fifty-Fifty Thanks to various birthdays the watching field is pretty varied this week! We have mini-dramas like the idol-packed Convenience Store Fling, movies with Midnight Runners, old school Kdramas with She Would Never Known, and of course, our favorite BLs with the odd Win Jamie's Heart and the surprisingly addictive Gen Y. /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/18033116

Muuurder At The Broncos 02/08/2021

Muuurder At The Broncos Muuurder At The Broncos Stadium... or, Stephanie takes a walk to the only quiet place in the neighborhood, which happens to be the deserted stadium, and gets her 10k steps while talking about the shows she's watching, the coworkers who are watching too, and upcoming exciting shows! /episode/index/show/crazyforkdramapodcast/id/17858465

Reflecting on the Past Anticipating the Future 01/02/2021

Reflecting on the Past Anticipating the Future Recorded on the last day of 2020 for release the first day of 2021, it seemed only right to spend some time talking about good things that happened in 2020, because, if we squint real hard, there were some! And then talk about hopes for the upcoming year, the hopeful return of concerts, what that means, new groups to learn, travel, and hopes for new shows.
