This week's episode is on the shorter side, but I promise next week's episode will make up for it. January was a hard month for me, but I still managed to complete a few dramas and shows. I am looking forward to MANY things in February so, hopefully I find the time to watch everything I want to watch.

If you are new to the WRAP-UP series on the NoSleep4Dramas podcast - this is the episode where Caitlin discusses what dramas she completed in January 2025. She gives her thoughts and opinions on these completed dramas in the first half of the episode. In the second half of the episode, Caitlin discusses the upcoming month. Caitlin has a good variety in the dramas she is looking forward to in February.

This podcast episode and blogpost with the same title go hand in hand. The podcast and/or the blogpost can be a companion for each other. Feel free to check one or both out. The blogpost is now live on the blog. You will find links to all the dramas and other blogposts discussed in today's episode in the January 2025 Wrap Up blogpost.

The information given in this episode is the most up-to-date information that Caitlin had when she recorded this episode. So, if another drama is introduced in the future or we get a streaming site for a drama and the information is not in this episode or on the blogpost, that is why.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

This is a tradition Caitlin has done on the NoSleep4Dramas blog ever since I started the blog back in 2020. Now she is bringing the tradition over to the podcast.

Caitlin takes the time to reflect a little on the history of the blog and the podcast as well as look back a little on 2024. This episode is just a BIG THANK YOU to all of you listeners and people who have supported Caitlin throughout the years.

The second half of the episode is a little fun activity that Caitlin does for jokes over on the blog and now the podcast. She came up with Asian Drama Watching New Year's Resolutions for 2024. She looks backs on those and comments on if she fulfilled them or not. Lastly, Caitlin makes new resolutions for Asian Drama Watching for 2025.

So, enjoy this fun filled episode. Tell Caitlin in the comments or on social media if you have resolutions of your own.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Hopefully 2025 will be the best drama watching year yet!

On Episode 52 of the NoSleep4Dramas Podcast, Caitlin is joined by Jess from the Daebak K-Rambles podcast, and they review the Jdrama Shogun together.

The first part of the episode, they go over the cast, say a short synopsis of the drama and gives a non-spoiler first impressions/review of the drama. The rest of the episode, they dive into Shogun. Caitlin and Jess talk about their favorite characters and moments. They dissect every episode and share their thoughts and feelings about pivotal events in the show.

Mainly, Jess and Caitlin wanted to review Shogun to get more people to watch it because it is such a brilliant show and deserves all of the Emmys it won.

Shogun can be watched on Hulu right now.
