Stephanie is back for a short visit! After the Kpop wasteland of the last few years, they're back in full force! With so many fun shows and so many weird experiences happening at these shows, Stephanie and her partner in Kpop Concert crime, LizC felt some of these stories MUST BE TOLD. We kick it off with ATEEZ and the emergence of the high wave, the mystery of BZ Boys, the flaming dumpster that was Kamp Los Angeles, the whirlwind trip to The Rose and SO MUCH MORE. Plus, gift with purchase, how Stephanie gets boozed up by a for-real BL star. (Part 1 of 2)

It's our very last episode! Before we get to that very important end, we have some very important things to talk about! Finishing the drama Happiness, finally starting Strong Woman Do Bong Soo and the angsty Rain or Shine. We'll also talk about Stephanie's favorite songs of 2021, do our last series of 'Who Would Yous' provided by Xe, and then find out... who exactly is our second lead soulmate! (The answer may shock you.) All this before saying the final goodbye. Thanks, friends. 

We all thought this was going to be our last episode, but after looking at the schedule, Stephanie decided to squeeze in an extra one before the end of the year! This episode is a 'what we're watching' episode, finishing up Medical Examiner: Dr Qin, movie night with SaraG and Park Seo Joon in Divine Fury, and binging the new drama Happiness! After, it's time to figure out what dramas to watch over the Christmas holiday!

The original idea that the discussion of this episode would be about all the shows coming up in December, but after the realization that this is our last episode about upcoming shows.... we should probably broaden that to shows in December and the exciting ones that have been announced for 2022! 

In this thanksgiving themed episode, we're taking our best dog bud, Lucy, along on a walk to our favorite area in order to talk the very important news, the decision to shut down Kchat Jjigae. Well, talk about it after a lot of waffling. Its hard! Then in order to shake all those weird emotions off, let's talk about allll the things that Stephanie watched while away. Including being THAT person on a plane, laughing to Going Seventeen and jumping while watching the special episode of the zombie series, Kingdom: Ashin of the North. 

Stephanie's been doing a lot of commuting lately, which means that Stephanie has been listening to a lot of Kpop lately, care to join her for a ride and a chat about all the new music coming out, music that has been out that we missed, concerts that are coming back, and most importantly, the recent Miyavi concert which blew through Denver??? To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website.

First off, this is NOT an episode about Miyavi. Spoiler Alert. No, this episode is about all the shows up on shows currently being watched. Hospital Playlist, NOT Squid Game, Go Go Squid, You Are My Spring, Bite Me, Don't Say No, and more but it's also about the decision of whether to go to the Denver Miyavi show. To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website.

As Stephanie paces her house attitude pumped by the power of a new haircut and lipstick, let's celebrate a very important Kdrama anniversary! Ten Years of Watching! Ten years is a very long time and we can't help but notice the changes that have occurred not only in the genre but in drama watching habits themselves...mostly all for good. Also, in the aftermath of experiencing the first post COVID concert, it seems like a pretty good time to discuss the differences between Kpop and non-kpop concerts!  To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website.

While this isn't an episode Stephanie's talking about what she's watching, she can't help but talk about binging Hospital Playlist... all in the name of a challenge with Korean fried chicken on the line! No, this episode is really about the new app, Kpop Library and allll the new upcoming Netflix shows. Its beginning to look a lot like some really good tv!    To read the complete show notes, please visit the official website.
