After many moons, we finished all of ‘Hospital Playlist’! In this spectacularly chaotic bonus episode we cover the funnest facts, spiral off track a dozen times, and imprison ourselves in a game of “Who’s That Face?” Leave a comment or sign up for our newsletter on our website ( playonk.com ), give us a hey by email ( playonkpodcast@gmail.com ) or on Twitter (@playonk) or Instagram (@playonkpodcas...

We’re back after an unplanned break week! Sorry for leaving you hanging, Raquel’s been sick. But not to worry, she’s feeling better and we’re ready to talk about ‘Hospital Playlist’ season 1 episodes 5-6. This week we worry for the safety of a character too good for this world, get very overwhelmed by how many doctors are in this drama, and talk about siblings who maybe should or maybe shouldn’t t...

We watched and review ‘Hospital Playlist’ season 1 episodes 3 and 4 this week. Join us here to chat about slow roll outs of big storylines, ships we can see getting ready to set sail, and some lightly dark and slightly sinister plots that are building up the drama in this show in a believable way.

This week we started watching 'Hospital Playlist' and this it has been the perfect mixture of drama, comedy, and slice-of-life-esque ease we need this holiday season. Join us here as we talk about so many doctors, storylines that jumped out at us right out of the gate, and give our stamp of approval on the best possible name for a low-key financial assistance charity organization.

It's time for the bonus review of 'Signal'! Listen here as we talk about how maybe there aren't the time paradoxes we thought, deep dive into corruption plots, and host an 'In Memoriam' in lieu of doing awards, because a heck of a lot of people died in this show and there are so many to remember.

In our second review of 'Signal' we cover episodes 5-8. Listen here as we get super bummed out about K drama events, then get super bummed out about real life events, and we revoke a character's seat at the 'good guy' table.

This week we started a new K Drama! We watched episodes 1-4 of 'Signal' and we're here with our first review of this crime drama (with a little time bending shake up).

Now that we've finished the first 2 seasons of 'Kingdom' we're ready to talk about all the bonus thoughts we have about this very good show. Join us here for a round of 'Who's That Face?', a new game we invented called '1 Truth and 100 Lies', and then do some mock interviews for an imagined future where the director of a K Drama consents to coming on this weird little podcast. In short, this episo...

It's a wrap on 'Kingdom' season 2! We watched the final three episodes and we're here to review them. Join us here as we chat about some late-in-the-game feelings we developed for characters, characters we loved all along but even more so now, and themes of blood relations (and surprisingly almost not at all in the bloody zombie kind of way). Since our reviews on horror Korean dramas are few and f...
