FYI There are spoilers in this episode because I go on multiple rants in this episode - SPOILER WARNING!

OCTOBER might be the month where you are supposed to watch all of the scary stuff but that was not the case for Caitlin. She did have a good month and completed a variety of things from dramas to anime. November is bringing a TON of dramas that Caitlin is interested in and not just Kdramas. So, she is going to have to make some choices on what she is going to click play on and what she is going to save to binge later if she still wants to clean out her watchlist before 2026 rolls around.

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 the previous month aka October 2025. She gives her thoughts and opinions and ratings on these completed dramas in the first half of the episode. In the second half of the episode, Caitlin discusses the upcoming month which is November 2025. At the very end, Caitlin also discusses some of the other dramas she plans to start in the month of October that are not premiering that month.

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 October 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.

On Episode 96 of the NoSleep4Dramas Podcast, Caitlin is joined with Becky (Dont Sue Rebecca) to review and gush about Kpop Demon Hunters. A LONG OVERDUE REVIEW! The first part of the episode as always, we go over the cast, says a short synopsis of the movie and give our non-spoiler first impressions/review of the movie. The rest of the episode after the spoiler warning, we dive straight in and talk about everything about Kpop Demon Hunters. We talk about the social commentary the movie has to the MANY Korean cultural references as well as us just gushing over the songs and the movie's touching moments. We could have gone on and on about this movie but had to stop ourselves at nearly an hour and a half.

The KMovie Kpop Demon Hunters is out now on Netflix

In Episode 91, Nas from the Swoon Diaries Podcast is back once again and joins Caitlin for a review of the Kdrama Signal Season 1. Caitlin rewatched this Kdrama but this was Nas's first-time watching Signal Season 1.

As always, the first part of the episode, we 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, Nas and I dive right into Signal Season 1. We go crime case by crime case, dissecting what happens with each case and our thoughts and reactions to everything that happens. Since most of the cases in Signal Season 1 are based off of real-life cases in South Korea, Caitlin also gives some facts about the real life cases. Of course, you get Nas's first reactions to everything. We also discuss the ending and what Season 2 could possibly talk about. AND YOU KNOW WE WILL BE BACK FOR SEASON 2!

Hope you enjoy the discussion and let us know what you think of the review? Do you agree or disagree with what we said. Have you seen Signal Season 1?

Signal Season 1 can be watched on Netflix in the USA.

Look forward to more reviews with Nas and also my other hosts in the future. If there are any dramas you want to see reviewed on the podcast, you can also leave a comment or DM NoSleep4Dramas on IG.

On Episode 88 of the NoSleep4Dramas Podcast, we have a double header for Chinese Drama reviews for you this week. I could not choose which Chinese Drama to review so, I decided to review both of the crime Chinese Dramas in this episode. In today's episode, Caitlin reviews the Chinese Crime dramas Stealth Walker and Under the Skin Season 1.

Caitlin reviews Stealth Walker first in the episode and then moves on to Under the Skin Season 1. Per usual, the first part of the reviews, Caitlin goes over the cast, says a short synopsis of the drama and gives a non-spoiler first impressions/review of the drama. These reviews don't have spoilers in them so, you can listen to the episode all the way through.

Both the Stealth Walker and Under the Skin Season 1 are on the blog as well. I pulled these reviews from my blogposts that I wrote back in 2021/2022 and recorded the reviews for this episode. The blogposts can be a companion to this episode and also an outline to what is mentioned in this review.

Stealth Walker can be watched on VIKI and I think Youku.

Under the Skin Season 1 can be watched on VIKI and IQIYI.
