Under the Queen’s Umbrella and Lola!
If you aren’t watching Under the Queen’s Umbrella…you might want to change that! I believe it was my tears shed during episode 3 that solidified for me that I was definitely glad I started this drama. The moving moments that were the Queen’s acceptance of her son and his true self were amazingly done. It was beautiful to see this handled with so much care and respect. It was also amazing to see this moment from the perspective of a mother. Truly beautiful!

Lola’s Ramblings & Musings – Relationships in Mental Coach Jegal, Love is for Suckers, Love in Contract & Cheer Up!
Today’s episode is a little switch-up from my usual Ramblings & Musings. Instead of delving deep into my Kdramaland psyche about dramas that I’m currently watching or finishing…I thought I would instead focus specifically on a topic in a few dramas I’m currently watching. This time I focus on the relationships that make up Mental Coach Jegal, Love is for Suckers, Love in Contract, and Cheer Up! I enjoyed (so much) rambling and musing about the importance of providing characters with interpersonal relationships that are entertaining yet also varied and complex! Come have a listen to this one if you’ve ever wanted to hear Lola wax poetic about love triangles in Kdramas! (I know, what does that even mean?!)

Under the Queen’s Umbrella First Impressions
Today’s episode is my first impressions of Under the Queen’s Umbrella. I admit early on in the episode that the main reason I decided to watch this was for Bae In Hyuk and that deciding to watch for him wasn’t the best idea. But I also go into a quick recap of the first two episodes and break down the foundation of this story, so if you were considering this Kdrama or not, listen to find out if you should or shouldn’t be!
-
Little Women Final Impressions
Today’s episode is my final impressions of Little Women! In this episode, I go full-on analysis of themes in the drama and how those are the only similarities between this adaptation and the novel. I also go into a small (or large) rant and ramble about my major issues with this drama and highlight some holes the story never filled. If you want to hear what kind of impressions this drama, which was one I was excited for, left me with…listen now!

Kdramas I Love But No One Else Seems to…
It’s back! The 3rd installment of Kdramas that nobody else seems to like but me! That’s an exaggeration, of course, but I like to think of this list as one that captures a history of Kdramas that I absolutely loved but feel like I might have been the only one. This could have been because these dramas are just not that good and I’m delusional or that others just didn’t know they existed. For hope that it’s the latter, I thought I would share them! Don’t forget to check parts 1 & 2 of this series!

I do my best to give you my thoughts on these Kdramas in under 20 minutes, but that’s such a short time, so forgive a few minutes over! However, I was able to share my concerns, my likes, my confusion, and my excitement about all of these dramas so please listen in to hear it all!

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.

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!
