Pilot: 14 Elements of Every K Drama

This is the pilot episode for K Drama Chat. In this episode, we introduce ourselves, Joanna Pineda and Jen McWhorter, and talk about why we love K Dramas and why we decided to create this podcast.Rather than just review our favorite K Dramas, we want to go deep and analyze each episode of our favorite series. For our first season, we have chosen Hotel Del Luna. This series is on Netflix, so it's easy for everyone to watch. This series features amazing actors, an amazing storyline, gorgeous cinematography, layers of myth and symbolism, and plenty of side stories and surprises.But before delving in Hotel Del Luna, we talked about the 14 elements that, our experience, exist in every K Drama series. Some of our favorites are:Gorgeous OSTs (original sound tracks)Food; there's lot of eating in K DramasCrying; there's lots of crying, by both women and menLove trianglesUmbrella sceneK Drama Chat is a weekly series, with new episodes dropping every Friday. We welcome your comments about our shows, what we got right, what we got wrong, and what we missed.
