How is it already the end of January and the first month of a new year is already over? I feel like January has gone by VERY QUICKLY but also VERY SLOWLY as well. January was a good start to my drama watching year and I have a lot to talk about in this episode. So, grab a coffee, sit back AND ENJOY!

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 January 2026. She gives her thoughts and opinions and ratings on these completed dramas in the first half of the episode. Caitlin also discusses the dramas she dropped in January 2026 and why she dropped them (if she dropped any dramas). In the second half of the episode, Caitlin discusses the upcoming month which is February 2026. At the very end, Caitlin also discusses some of the other dramas she plans to start in the month of February that are not premiering that month but are older dramas or are for future podcast episode recordings.

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.
