Little Women and Lola
Beautifully shot Kdrama is beautifully shot. Little Women’s cinematography is enough to keep me watching this drama. I can never look away while watching. Check out some of my favorite shots from episodes 5-8!
-
Big Mouth Final Impressions
Today’s episode is my final impressions of Big Mouth! It’s been a ride with this one and it was rough there at the end…so much so, that I was asking to get off the ride! But I made it and have some final thoughts on this rollercoaster of a Kdrama!
-
Mental Coach Jegal First Impressions
Today’s episode is my first impressions of Mental Coach Jegal! I must admit that I had no plans to record my first impressions of Mental Coach Jegal, I had originally planned to watch this one under the radar, but I think not. I have to stake my claim on this one before it airs any more episodes! If you want to hear about the first two episodes of this sports drama and find out why I have already declared my love for this drama, please listen to this episode!

A Quick Pop-Off – Once Upon a Small Town and The Law Café
Today’s episode is a new version of a Quick Pop-Off one! Instead of going over an entire series in less than 20 minutes (which I will still do from time to time), I decided to try to do this more often featuring a drama or two that I want to chat about but not for a full-length episode! I think it’ll also help me highlight more Kdramas that I’m watching and not giving enough love or attention to! So, if you at all were wondering about ‘Once Upon a Small Town’ and ‘The Law Café’ and what they have to offer, check out this quick pop-off to find out!

Little Women First Impressions
Today’s episode is my first impressions of Netflix’s Korean loose adaptation of Little Women. It’s directed by our Vincenzo director, Kim Hee-won, and written by Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and The Handmaiden’s, Jung Seo-Kyoung. With these two behind-the-scenes, I must admit I was excited about this one! Now, if that excitement was kept after the first two episodes of Little Women, that’s what we have to discuss in this latest podcast episode! So, come have a listen and see what I thought about all that they threw at us in these first episodes and if I’ll be back for the next ones!

Kdramas I Love But No One Else Seems To… PT. 2
It’s back already!! The second installment of my new project where I showcase Kdramas I love but no else seems to! Or Kdramas I believe are underrated and no one checked for but me! I have a few more Kdramas for you to check out here that I’m not sure are the best dramas of all-time or maybe they are, but I do know that I enjoyed them! (You may also see the recurrence of some of my favorite actresses and actors)! Let me know if you’ve seen any of these Kdramas! You can also let me know if you hated them or loved them like me!

Lola’s Ramblings & Musings: Yumi’s Cells 2, Jinxed at First, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Alchemy of Souls, Big Mouth, Today’s Webtoon, Poong, and more!
Today’s episode is the return of my Ramblings and Musings after almost two months! So, you guessed it…it’s a long one! I apologize for the long wait, but I hope the length of this episode and the number of dramas I cover make up for it. If you don’t mind listening to my ramblings on Kdramas I finished recently and never came back to chat about, Kdramas I’m currently watching and my feelings on them, Kdramas I dropped and wonder if I should pick back up, and Kdramas I really want to watch, but I haven’t yet–then this is the episode for you!

Kdramas I Love But No One Else Seems To… PT. I
Here I submit to you a longstanding project of mine that I’ve been ruminating on for years. Looking at the catalogue of Kdramas I’ve watched over the past 15 years, I decided to pull from that list Kdramas that I remember loving with all my heart after finishing, but when I looked around for someone to fangirl with about them, no one seemed to be there. I don’t know if these are Kdramas that I consider underrated or Kdramas that weren’t that good and I’m just delusional about about them, but either way, I have enough Kdramas like these to satisfy a multi-part project! So, if you like this at all let me know. Also, let me know if you’ve watched any of these dramas and what you thought about them! Or if you would like to watch any of these, let me know that too! This project is affectionately titled “Ain’t Nobody Checking For You, But I Am.”

Today’s Webtoon and Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist First Impressions
Today’s episode is my first impressions of Today’s Webtoon, a manga/Jdrama adaptation, and Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist, a novel adaptation. Today’s Webtoon is definitely a familiar feel, but in the best way possible and Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist should come with a trigger warning, but it’s definitely a drama I’m currently most impressed with. Come have a listen to hear more about what to expect for these two if you haven’t started either yet!
-
Adamas and Big Mouth First Impressions
Today’s episode is my first impressions of the latest Disney+ dramas starring two of my absolute favorite actors of all time! We have Ji Sung’s follow-up drama after starring in my favorite Kdrama of 2021 and Lee Jong Suk’s return to Kdramaland after completion of his military service. Prison, murder, mystery, and large amounts of money are commonalities in both dramas, but I must say I think one of these dramas is currently doing a much better job telling its story! Come have a listen to find out which one I would recommend you start today!
-
A Quick Pop-Off: Remarriage and Desires
Today’s episode is another quick pop-off one and this time it’s about Remarriage and Desires! This soap opera of a short drama was a messy ride and I surprised myself by binging it in one go! Listen to me give some quick thoughts on this drama and find out if I recommend it!
-
Extraordinary Attorney Woo First Impressions
Today’s episode is another first impressions and this time it’s of the newest law drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo. It didn’t take me long into the first episode of the drama to realize that this was going to be a lovely one to watch! Check out my first impressions episode to listen to me cheer on Woo Young Woo and swoon over Lee Jun Ho!
-
Alchemy of Souls First Impressions
Today’s episode is an episode one recap and first impressions of Alchemy of Souls! This is the return of the Hong Sisters and that was enough for me to be excited! Alchemy of Souls has all your favorite things about the Hong Sisters’ writing–fantasy, romance, and beautiful leads with amazing chemistry. What could go wrong, right?! Listen to this episode for a recap of the story setup (because it is a lot), but also hear if this is one I’ll be sticking with!

Lola’s Ramblings and Musings: Yumi’s Cells 2, Insider, Link, Jinxed At First, and more!
Today’s episode is the return of the Ramblings and Musings of Lola! I have tons of dramas to catch you all up on, some that I recently finished and loved, some that I recently started and love, and some that I started and don’t love as much. Please come have a listen to hear some first impressions of Yumi’s Cells 2, Insider, Link, and Jinxed at First, but also where I stand with Why Her?, Eve, and Bloody Heart.
-
Eve and Why Her? First Impressions
Today’s episode is my first impressions of ‘Why Her?’ and ‘Eve.’ ‘Why Her?’ is a law drama with a hard-hitting lawyer as our lead while Eve is a revenge drama with a spicy seductress as our lead! Both have female leads running the show and putting people in their places and what more could you ask for, right? Well, I might have more I would want from both of these dramas, so come have a listen as I explain some things that are lacking for me in both dramas!
-
My Liberation Notes Final Impressions
Today’s episode is My Liberation Notes final impressions! It’s taken me some time to record it as I just wanted to do right by this gem of a drama written by Park Hae Young. I, unintentionally, go into final impressions of My Mister (also written by Park Hae Young), but I still circle back around to share all that My Liberation Notes has left me with and what I will remember most about this drama long after everyone else forgets about it. It’s a very meaningful tale and it’s one I’ll hold dear to me for a long time. Please come listen to me try my hardest not to cry as I discuss writing done beautifully, liberation as a theme, a train motif, and confetti guts.

A Quick Pop-Off – The Sound of Magic
Check out my quick pop-off episode about The Sound of Magic! I finally got a chance to sit down and marathon this short drama and it left me with some thoughts, so I figured I’d sound off about it in this episode. Also, come chat with me if you watched this drama and let me know if you believe in magic!!
-
Green Mothers’ Club and The Killer’s Shopping List Overall Impressions
Today I bring you another double-feature episode! These two dramas, The Killer’s Shopping List and Green Mothers’ Club are both standout dramas for me this year. I decided to watch them both on a whim and I do not regret that decision. Each week I looked forward to watching these two and thought I’d give them an episode so I could share my love for them!

Yes, it took me a while to figure it out, but I’m finally catching up with all the dramas there I’ve been missing out on! Or have I been missing out…???
