Ep. 101: Why We Dropped Doctor Slump

Ep. 101: Why We Dropped Doctor Slump

Unfortunately this week we're back with another dropped episode. We were really looking forward to this show especially because Park Hyung Sik is in it and we haven't seen him in anything in a while. This drama had a very good beginning but somehow got lost part way through which was really disappointing. We hope you enjoy listening!

Ep. 99: Concrete Utopia

We’re back with a movie this week, Concrete Utopia. We had been wanting to watch this movie for so long now and it finally became available in North America. We don’t usually go for disaster movies but it was a very interesting watch. Even though there are quite a few shows exploring human nature this one still was able to be unique in it’s portrayal. We hope you enjoy listening!

Ep. 90: Likeable and Lighthearted: Takane and Hana

Ep. 89: Dystopian and Disappointing: Black Night

Sorry we’ve been gone for so long but we’re finally back with another episode. Today we’re talking about the post-apocalyptic Kdrama Black Night. We were very excited to start this drama because we’re Sci-Fi fans, but unfortunately it didn’t quite work for us. The drama had a lot of potential but just didn’t do the story justice in our opinion. Even though this review isn’t quite as fun we hope you still enjoy listening!

Ep. 86: Fluffy and Funny: The 3Bs You Shouldn't Date

Today we’re talking about the 2021 Japanese drama The 3Bs You Shouldn’t Date. This drama is very cheesy and lighthearted which made it a very easy watch. If you’re looking for a good serious romance this show isn’t it but it’s was still a fun in it’s own way. We hope you enjoy listening!

It's been forever since we've done a first impressions episode but we're finally bringing it back with Summer Strike. We just stumbed across this drama and had no idea what to expect.

Ep. 84: Fantasy and Failure: The Bride of Habaek Rewatch

Ep. 84: Fantasy and Failure: The Bride of Habaek Rewatch
