Afternoona Asks

Sarah and Grace tackle the first in a planned series of episodes covering Korean History for fans of KDramas. We discuss the first "Korean" nations, starting with Gojoseon, then working our way through the Three Kingdoms period, touching on Unified/Late Silla, and concluding with the short-lived Later Three Kingdoms. We also talk about historical (aka sageuk) KDramas set in these various periods, including ones we both have and have not watched.

What is Afternoona Asks?

Annyeonghaseyo!  We are Grace and Sarah, Asian KDrama fans who love to ask, and hopefully find answers to, all of our (and your) Asian drama questions. We cover everything, from silly topics to sensitive and serious issues that come up as we binge.

We'll also share some Korean and Chinese language tips, as well as our experiences as diaspora Asians living in the UK and US.
