Hi! I'm Nas! On my podcast I hope you feel like you are having a chat with a friend about your favorite and sometimes not so favorite k-dramas. Every week, you will hear me talk about k-dramas new and old! There will be lots of swooning, laughter, and tons of emotional quotes thrown in the mix. I also love k-pop so I will definitely be updating you all on whatever I am listening to! I hope you join me on this journey of loving k-dramas together!
So how about we start this thing? Let the KDrama rambles and rants begin!

Customer Reviews
I’m Hooked on KDramas and Swoon Diaries
Because of this podcast I’ve now watched over 20 Kdramas since 2021. And this is the only review podcast I listen to. Nas and her guests are so funny and thorough! I love that each episode feels like I’m catching up with friends and chatting about our favorite shows.
Such a lovely, wonderful podcast!
I’ve been watching kdramas for fooorever and finally got into listening to recap podcasts. I’ve been loooving Swoon Diaries! I truly appreciate all the thought, kindness, and humor Nas brings to each recap. I also love the way each episode dives into the character arcs and the deeper themes (which is what has made me love kdramas for so many years!) I feel like I learn more and think more deeply about my favorite shows every time I listen (and also laugh a lot!)
The logo colors remind me of curling up with a latte in a cozy cafe and that’s exactly what you’ll feel listening to Swoon Diaries! Enjoy! 💕
Destined to Love this Podcast!!
I have been a huge fan for a year now - the recs and reviews provided have really guided my K-drama viewing, since there is sooo much to choose from. Nas and I share really similar tastes in shows, so if she loves it I know I will too! Her enthusiasm and joy when describing certain episodes or swoon-worthy moments is delightful. CHECK IT OUT!!!
