In today’s episode we speak to two wonderful girls from Generation Z. Aritra and Imp. Aritra has grown up watching Kdramas and is an avid consumer of Asian dramas. While she waits for the return of her favourite oppa, Jang Keun Suk, to the screen, she makes her living as a book editor and writes fanfic at KhepiAri @aO3. She is most clued in the pop culture around comics and dramas and can be reached at @paulOaries on Twitter and @khepiari on Instagram.
Imp is a teenager and one of the youngest Kdrams viewers we know. She is a K-pop fan first and that led her to watching Kdramas. She loves crime/thriller genre more but enjoys watching romcoms too.
While we discuss their KDrama journey, we also explore how Kdramas have evolved in terms of LGBTQ representation on screen.
