Tea And Soju - A C-drama Podcast

🍵 This week on Tea & Soju, Liliana is joined by special guest Angie to chat about the historical C-drama Against the Current!At its heart, this is a story about women navigating the challenges, expectations and restrictions placed upon them by the world around them. We're discussing the struggles they face, their journeys towards finding their own place, and the strength it takes to push back against the current.Of course, there's also a little romance along the way! ❤️ But with so much more to explore, we're looking at how the relationships, characters and wider themes come together to tell this story.What did we think of the drama's portrayal of women's struggles? How did we feel about the characters and their journeys? And did Against the Current manage to leave a lasting impression on us?Join us as we share our thoughts, opinions and takeaways in another Tea & Soju drama review!Make yourself a cuppa, get comfy, and come join the conversation!Liliana - Tea & Soju🍵 Patreon — behind-the-scenes content, bonus episodes & our monthly Zoom meetups- https://www.patreon.com/c/u82789007 💬 Discord — come chat C-dramas with us - https://discord.com/invite/8CEPFjnaRY📸 Instagram — @teaandsojupod - https://instagram.com/teaandsojupod?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== 🎵 TikTok — @teaandsojupod - https://www.tiktok.com/@teaandsojupod?_t=8gXFJT3Q6Ov&_r=1Angie:Intagram: https://www.instagram.com/byelingualangie/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@byelingualangie YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ByeLingualAngie

There are some things nobody tells you when you fall down the C-drama rabbit hole — like why you absolutely cannot trust a drama poster, when it's okay to give up on a 40-episode commitment, how to recognise the warning signs of impending emotional damage, and why a drama being “good” doesn't necessarily mean you're going to enjoy it.So this week, I'm sharing my C-drama survival guide: the things I wish someone had told me when I first started watching.From ratings to filler, political plots, and knowing when to just WALK AWAY… let's talk about everything I've learned after years of watching C-dramas.And because I know I'm not the only one who's learned some of these lessons the hard way — what would YOU add to the C-drama survival guide? 🍵Come hang out with me and let's survive the C-drama rabbit hole together! 💕☕ Support Tea & SojuIf you enjoyed this episode and would like access to behind-the-scenes chats, deleted clips, bonus reviews, replay recordings, and our monthly Zoom meet-ups, consider joining the Tea & Soju Patreon:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/u82789007💬 Join the Tea & Soju DiscordLooking for a friendly space to chat all things C-dramas, K-dramas, and Asian entertainment?
