(S5) EP#161: Catch a Vibe w/Lola: Kdrama and their Genres!

Today's episode is another Catch a Vibe with Lola one! In these episodes, I take a laidback approach to discussing something on my mind about Kdramas (or Kdramaland), and for this one, I decided to take it really easy and go over what's coming up in February in Kdramaland. I had planned another topic for this CAV episode, but I needed something a little more focused so I bring you a breakdown on what's coming up and what I plan to watch! So, join me in this episode for an unedited, chill discussion on Kdramas coming soon in February!

We're back to our Ramblings & Musings episodes with a roundup of another four dramas! In this episode, we discuss two Kdramas I recently finished, What Comes After Love and The Trunk, as well as two that I'm currently watching (or am I?): Love Scout and When the Stars Gossip. For some reason, I believe this episode will make you laugh, even though I don't know if there was anything funny about any of these dramas. So, check out this episode now to hear what bad jokes I have for you and to find out how I really feel about these dramas.

Today's episode is another Ramblings & Musings one with my thoughts on only four dramas! I'm trying, I really am...trying to pare it all down but I definitely have picked up on the number of dramas I'm watching. Help! But yes, this episode will focus on two dramas I'm currently watching and two dramas I recently finished watching. I even give a little tiny update on drama I mentioned in the last episode...listen in to find out which one (also, spoiler: it's When the Phone Rings). So, tune in now or whenever you need something to listen to in the background of whatever you're doing to hear my thoughts on Good Partner, Virtuous Business, The Tale of Lady Ok, and Check in Hanyang.

Today's episode is another Lola's Ramblings & Musings where I discuss just 4 dramas! I know! Who am I? But I'm definitely enjoying taking it easy and not dumping on you all my thoughts on 13 different dramas in one episode!

I also include questions for you all about your thoughts on these dramas, so don't forget to leave a comment below or find me over on IG or send an email.

Bear with me as I try my hand at this podcasting thing after being away for so long. It's definitely NOT like riding a bike...I feel like a baby bird being thrown out of the nest again...Leave a comment letting me know which dramas from the last 6 months you would highly recommend! Make your case, but no major spoilers please!!

Today's throwing it back episode as some of you may have guessed is The King 2 Hearts! This is our first episode with two lead actors from other throwing it back episodes starring as leads again! In this one we go back to 2012 when this drama had me on the hook every week, coming back for more and more of our enemies to lovers main couple! However, after a rewatch, does my love for this drama remain the same...? But as you know, in this season, I've been jumping around the past 20+ years of Kdramaland to find and rediscover what it is about these small screen masterpieces that make me love and appreciate them so much. It's also been a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from watching them and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them! So, listen now to find out if my love for this drama remains or if there are some things I now see with mature eyes that alter this drama on my faves list!

Today's episode I'm throwing it back to a Baeksang Awards nominated Kdrama: School 2013 from 2013, of course! This drama isn't your fun high school Kdrama, it's one of those realistic ones, and yet, it's still one of my favorites. I had such a meaningful and moving experience rewatching this drama after 11 years and was almost a little surprised at how this drama means much more to me now than it did the first time I watched it. My time discussing this drama in this episode is the biggest testament to why I'm even doing this season of Throwing it Back! Because as you know, in this season, I've been jumping around the past 20+ years of Kdramaland to find and rediscover what it is about these small screen masterpieces that make me love and appreciate them so much. It's also been a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from watching them and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them! So, join me for an episode where I express my undying love for Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin's friendship and one of the best bromances featured in Kdrama history!

There's some dramas that I really love right now and a few, not so much...So, check out this episode now to find out where I stand with Kdramas and if you there are any that I mention that you're loving or hating too!
