In this week’s episode we are starting a new series where Jess from the Daebak K-Rambles Podcast joins me to review movies. She’s well know for watching a lot of movies, I am well know for barely watching any - so together we will be jumping into movies.

In this first installment we review the Jmovie “Once Upon A Crime”, which the premise intrigued both of us, but the delivery fell very flat. Join us to hear our full thoughts and whether we would recommend this one or not.

In this week’s episode the Drama Trio sit down to review the 2011 Cdrama “Scarlet Heart”. This version being the OG, and have had such popularity to warrant many remakes, one of them being the Kdrama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryo, I had always wanted to watch it first, and I am so glad I did, 

The Drama Trio really enjoyed this drama, and agree that although it is an older Cdrama it still stands the test of time with good writing, good acting and good directing.

In this week's episod I am joined by Caitlin from NoSleep4Dramas to review the 2016 Cdrama "Medical Examiner Dr Qin", staring Zhang Ruo Yun, Jiao Jun Yan and Li Xian.

This drama is part of the throw back series, happening on Tea and Soju Podcast, where I review older dramas.

Join us as we discuss the cases, what we liked and what we thought could be better. As well as the reason this could still be a good intro crime drama since it has the feel of an American show.

In this week’s episode I dive into the 2025 Cdrama “The White Olive Tree”, staring Chen Zhe Yuan and Liang Jie.

This drama is certainly not for the faint of heart, as it tackles things such as war zone, depression and PTSD, but it was some of the best acting I have seen out of the 2 main leads.

So join me as I discuss what I enjoyed, and what I didn’t about The White Olive Tree.

In this week's episode I am joined by guests Laura and Becky, to review the 2025 Cdrama "The First Frost", staring Zhang Ruo Nan and Bai Jingting.

This drama was highly anticipated by many, based on the novel of the same name, The First Frost follows the story of Sang Yan (the brother from Hidden Love) and his childhood love Wen Yifan. Although this cdrama runs parallel to Hidden Love, it is a different story with a much darker theme surrounding it.

In this deep dive we discuss general non spoiler thoughts about this drama, as well as spoiler thoughts up to episode 10. We had so MANY notes, and therefore had to divide this episode into 2 parts.

Join us and relive this drama with us.
