Welcome to another episode of Love, Mikaela the podcast where I talk about anything and everything I want to. For today's episode I wanted to talk about the J Drama Eye Love You which features a Japanese female lead and a Korean male lead.

Thanks for listening!! Love, Mikaela

Happy AAPI Month! This is Love, Mikaela a podcast where I talk about literally anything and everything I want to. For today's episode I wanted to revisit my thoughts on being half Japanese and my own personal experiences. These aren't huge problems and I want to reiterate that I recognize my privilege and acknowledge that in the grand scheme of things these problems are miniscule in comparison to other issues other people face. Fair warning this is a ramble-y one. Again, these are just my own personal thoughts and opinions based on my own real life experience. I do not speak for anyone else and these thoughts and opinions could change in the future. Thanks for tuning in!
