ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Patreon Dragon Squad—Katie, Carolien, Charlotte & Zoe—took over the Afternoona Asks
podcast to persuade you to watch the epic drama SIX FLYING DRAGONS.
We provide non-spoilery background information, gush over our favourite Dragons (no, not you,
Sambong) and consider whether the better comp is Hamlet or Alchemy of Souls. But most of all
we hope to infuse you with our enthusiasm so that you will press play as soon as you finish
listening to us.
Sarah & Grace would like to thank The Patreon Dragon Squad for all their enthusiasm and love of this drama and the time they gave us all to this podcast - we hope you enjoy their podcast and even better: discover this KDrama and love it too!
