It's only Lia in the studio tonight...and is it going to be debauchery, and fingers in mouths, and no "Amy Button" in sight? Ha! No! It's all melancholic reflections and enough confessionals to rival any 90's era album. While K-Dramas started as an escape, Lia shares how they quickly became a mirror, reflecting self (good and uncomfortable). From My Mister and the stillness it asked for before she was ready to give it, to Her Private Life and the ache of wanting to be met in joy, to why does she return to one specific drama for comfort — she reflects on love, homesickness, family, and the parts of herself she'd rather not admit she recognizes.Because that's the strange gift that can often happen with a good story: you think you are  watching them. Turns out, the whole time, you were watching yourself.Are your family and friends sick of you talking about K-drama? We get it...and have an answer.
