    Love Like The Galaxy - Deep Dive
    Mar 8 2025

    This episode we have guest hosts to discuss the Chinese historical drama Love Like The Galaxy. Sarah from our sister podcast Afternoona Asks is joined by previous guest Corinne from Sex, Love, Literature podcast as well as Patreon member Gavin to discuss this 2022 epic CDrama.


    If you haven't watched all 56 episodes of this drama but think you might want to know more before you fully commit (!), we cover the drama with no spoilers at the start to give you a taste of what you might expect. We then head into full spoilers as Sarah talks about how badly she swooned over Ling Buyi, why Cheng Shaoshang is such a great female lead and how well plotted the revenge part of this drama is.

    Tropetastic First Episodes: Love Scout
    Mar 5 2025

    It's another Tropetastic First Episode, and this week we're looking at all the tropey goodness in episode one of Love Scout. We gush over the great characterization of our heroine and hero, how the excellent cinematography helps tell the story, and a great enemies to lovers set up with a fantastically antagonistic, yet surprisingly romantic meet cute. We also highlight our love of competency porn and why all you need to get a swipe right from Amy is a color coded whiteboard calendar.

    How We Would Improve Singles Inferno
    Feb 26 2025

    We watched Singles Inferno 4, and we think it's time for an intervention with the producers. Why are there 3,586 models? Why aren't the singles cooking in Inferno? Where are the friendships? And for the love of Jimin, let's get some better games! We get into all the frustrations we felt over this season, and why we will still be tuning in for next season.

New Jersey Noona … loves these Noonas

I was introduced to K dramas after going on a TV sabbatical after bing watching 8 years of Game of Thrones in 3 years . I was left needing years of therapy and isolation. I was emotionally spent and taking completely away from my reality …. Fast forward 3.5 years later I stumbled upon My Country while in COVID isolation. I watched the entire series in 3 days … forsaking food, showering, hell even all movement !! I would say after that … I was hooked K drama became a drug , an alternate reality to take me away from my current reality! I had to see if there was anyone else out here that felt the way I feel . my friends think I’m nuts - I analyze, review against historical contact , or just plain swoon over everyone ! I found your podcast about 2 months ago and have need diligently listening . Thank you I feel like I’m having a cup of coffee in the room while we are all discussing Kdramas! Content is great, the noonas are funny , and I learn something every episode . If you’re a K drama fan in USA this is the podcast to listen to .. thank you - I feel my obsession is completely normal if their are podcast about it !!
