(S5) EP#169: Quick Pop-Off - Friendly Rivalry

Today's episode is the promised What Went Down episode for Our Unwritten Seoul! I didn't think this would be such a standout moment in dramaland for me this year, but it surprised me. I really thought this drama would be on my drop list after the first two episodes, but I kept picking it up each week. Listen to this episode to find out my final thoughts on Our Unwritten Seoul and why this drama was such a meaningful highlight of my Kdrama year!

Today's episode is another Ramblings & Musings! I had to catch you all up on how my June in Kdramaland has been! This episode is a throwback to my old Ramblings & Musings, where I would categorize the dramas I wanted to discuss and share some quick thoughts about each one. So, I hope you enjoy my fast and dirty reviews on dramas like Mercy for None and Tastefully Yours, my quick initial thoughts on The First Night with the Duke, and my desperate pleas to you to help me figure out which drama I should start next!Listen now if you don't mind some good ol' fashioned ramblings and musings!

Today’s episode is a new What Went Down one where I let you know my final thoughts on the thriller, Nine Puzzles!It was highly recommended to me, so I had to forego my aversion to the dark and creepy Kdramas to check it out! And there’s—THE Son Suk Ku, so I made the exception! Spoilers are ahead in the episode, so check out the episode if you’ve watched the drama already or if you’ve had the reveal spoiled for you! Or if you have no plans of ever watching it, I highly recommend listening to this one! I don’t go into the gory details, so I spare you there, but you get a full rundown on what went down in Nine Puzzles! Let me know your thoughts on this drama in the comments!

I'm BAAAAAAAAAACCKKKK! They tried to keep a girl down, but they couldn't! No, I'm just kidding! All has been well, but I know I have some explaining to do regarding my absence from the podcast over the past two months! But never fear, I'm back and with all my excuses!! So, please hear me out! Additionally, I'll bring you all up to speed on the dramas I started before my impromptu hiatus, which may or may not be currently on hold.

Today's episode is short and sweet, well, maybe not that sweet, but it's certainly short. I bring back my Quick Pop-Off episodes with some thoughts on Friendly Rivalry. I'm not finished with this drama yet, but I decided to drop in and say a little bit about it because I'm liking it!So, listen in now to hear me pop off quickly about Friendly Rivalry!

Today's episode is my Women's History Month/International Women's Day edition episode! Or really, it's my Catch a Vibe w/Lola episode, where I do nothing but talk about some of my favorite female character archetypes (character types) and give you a few of my favorite examples of those types! It's also my first episode in a long time with an interactive component or a call for your submissions!

Today's episode is a new ramblings and musings! This one feels reminiscent of a more chaotic time in the podcast where I talked about way more than four dramas at a time in these episodes, but it's still not as bad as it used to be! But in this one, I will fill you in on Kdramas that I'm currently watching, like My Dearest Nemesis and, yes, Chunhwa Love Story. And then I also give you some insight on what I'm still hoping to watch, but just having gotten around to, like The Potato Lab. Let's also let you in on two upcoming dramas that have me beyond excited like Way Back Love. Then I close the episode to update you on the only drama I recently finished watching and spoiler alert...it wasn't a Kdrama!The Witch⁠Buried Hearts ⁠(11:51)Chunhwa Love Story (22:11)My Dearest Nemesis (37:10)UndercoverHigh School (45:46)FlourishedPeony(59:02) 

Today's episode is the return of my What Went Down/Final Thoughts episodes! I thought it would be perfect to bring these back with a nice and short drama like Study Group. In this episode, I give you a little rundown on my initial, midpoint, and final thoughts on this drama and let you know how it compares to one or two of my favorite high school webtoon adaptations in the recent years. Listen now to see if this short action-comedy high school drama left any sort of impact on me!

Today's episode is a new Ramblings & Musings one where I catch you all up on where the podcast episodes have been this month! I had a busy February, so the podcast took a little backseat. However, with this little break in our regularly scheduled program, I was still working on things to come for the podcast. So, in this episode, I give you a sneak peek at what to expect all March long for the podcast. There'll be weekly episodes and IG posts for you to interact with! If you forgive me for my absence this month, please listen to this short episode to get excited about what's ahead in March! Thank you guys for being the best. I hope you'll be around for Lola Pops Off about Kdramas next month.

Now, was that the wisest choice...well, you'll find out after checking out this episode!So, listen now to see if this 20 year old Kdrama stands the test of time and provides us with all the romance we desire on such a day as this!
