  • Episode 1: What Is My Value?

    Hi! It's Mel & I'm back with a new mini show. As the youngest & baby of the ABG trio, I have a lot of questions about everything. I've been told I ask the things people are afraid to ask (because they're afraid to look dumb šŸ˜…). In this show, there is no such thing as dumb questions ;) and just an exploration of my curiosity about life. From those random shower thoughts, that personal question buried deep, to those random in between moments, we’re going to explore all of those in No Dumb Questions with Mel.

    Today, we go off to the deep end & I share how my loss of value led me to something new.

  • K-Dreaming with Mel: šŸ’‹He Kissed How Many Women in the First Night??! Comparing Western & Asian Dating Shows

    Hi K-Dreamers! This episode, for the time being, will be my LAST episode of K-Dreaming with Mel. 😭 This may sound like a shock to some & know that I still love K-Dramas & K-Pop very much.

    When we started these mini show series, it was a bit of an exploration of topics for us. At the time, I was very excited to explore the realm of Korean entertainment through a podcast. However, as time moved on, I realized there is much more I want to share with you all. SO with that, I will still be having a mini show & am excited to show an even more vulnerable side of me through it. More details will be shared through our social media along the way 😘

    For now & always, I will still be consuming a lot of K-Drama & K-Pop content. I mean Part 2 of The Glory is coming out & I am very excited for it. Lastly, I want to say THANK YOU to those who have joined me with Kdreaming. Thank you so SO much!

    With that, let’s kick off our last topic that I know we all have many thoughts on…Comparing Western & Asian Dating Shows!

  • K-Dreaming with Mel: ā¤ļø How to Get Your Partner into K-Dramas

    Hello K-Dreamers! There's nothing hotter than my boyfriend liking K-Dramas as much as me...jk. But in all seriousness, I find that when my partner & I like the same type of shows, it has made our lounge time & our connection stronger. I've been in relationships before where our show preferences were off (I share more about this in the ep) and it played a role in our lack of compatibility.Ā 

    Today, as a K-Drama lover, I wanted to share some dramas that I think your partner would like (let's suck them into our K-Drama world)!

  • K-Dreaming with Mel: The K-Dramas of 2022 That Didn't Meet the Hype (ft. Anna Lee)

    Hello K-Dreamers! We are quickly approaching the end of 2022 and the end of a full year of K-Drama watching. There were some dramas that quickly became a fan favorite, like ā€œLittle Womenā€, and sleeper hits that we didn't expect to love so much, like ā€œExtraordinary Attorney Woo.ā€ There were also shows we just did NOT like (side note: Is it just me, or does no one talk about the K-Dramas they dislike out loud?)

    For today’s episode, I thought it would be fitting to talk through the Best & Worst Kdramas of 2022! Join me and my friend Anna as we chat through our personal favorites, and ones that just did not hit the mark.

    Let me know in the comments what your top & bottom K-Dramas of 2022 are!

    Hello my K-Dreamers! Sigh… so I have a confession to make. I’m sure by now, you’ve read the episode title and are aware of a little secret I’ve been keeping. A lot of my friends and you all know I’m a fan of K-Pop. BUT not a lot of people actually know that I… auditioned for a Korean entertainment company. Yes, I auditioned, with the hopes of being in a K-Pop group.

    Tune into this episode to hear the full story and confessions of a (former) K-Pop idol wannabe lol!

    Welcome to K-Dreaming! My name is Mel, and you may know me as one of the co-hosts of the podcast, AsianBossGirl. Through that podcast, you might recognize me as someone who’s a fan of pop culture & media… but if you REALLY know me, you’ll know I’m a huge fan of Korean dramas and K-Pop.

    In ā€œK-Dreamingā€, my hope is to extend that connection out and allow people to float away into this fantasyland.

    Today, we’ll explore the OG K-Drama that opened the doors to this fantastical world for me, ā€œFull Houseā€! We’ll also talk through other notable K-Dramas that have made my heart fill with love and anticipation *dugeun dugeun*

About No Dumb Questions with Mel
