Maddie & Christina are doing a Through Two on the new K-drama Between Steps! 💕

Maddie is here for Choo Young-woo. 😍 Christina is here because it's a SLICE OF LIFE drama AND it was directed by the late Ahn Pan-seok, who also directed Something in the Rain and One Spring Night! 👀

Between Steps follows Park Min-jae (Choo Young-woo – The Tale of Lady Ok, Head Over Heels), a former swimmer who lost his leg to cancer and is now pursuing a PhD in robotics. Meanwhile, Lim Yoo-jin (Kim So-hyun – Love Alarm, My Lovely Liar) is searching for a fresh start after her plans for the future fall apart. When their paths cross, Yoo-Jin discovers a new interest in robotics, and the two begin to develop feelings for each other.

Maddie & Christina share their first impressions, discuss the characters, and whether the first two episodes have them hooked!

Christina & Elle are going WAY back for their newest Throwback Series with the 2007 K-drama classic Coffee Prince! ☕️👑

In the first two episodes, they meet Go Eun-chan, a hardworking young woman who is often mistaken for a man, and Choi Han-gyeol, a wealthy chaebol trying to avoid the blind dates his grandmother keeps arranging. When their paths cross, Han-gyeol—believing Eun-chan is a man—hires her to pretend to be his boyfriend and scare off his potential matches. 😂

Christina & Elle chat about their first impressions, the VERY 2007 of it all, the characters, and whether this K-drama classic has them hooked after just two episodes.

Maddie & Christina are FINALLY back to finish their Throwback Series on Shopaholic Louis! 🛍️

And, well…there’s a reason it took them a little while to get here. The second half of this drama was BRUTAL to get through. 😭 Christina has THOUGHTS, and she has to ask: could this possibly be the worst drama she’s ever seen…EVER?!

The ladies break down the final stretch of the drama—all the absolutely random things that happened, why the second male lead is constantly GROWLING whenever he doesn’t like something, and at what point the audience should become genuinely concerned about the number of times Louis gets hit in the head. 🫠

Was there anything they actually liked? (Maddie can answer this one for the team.) Did the ending redeem ANYTHING? And most importantly…was Shopaholic Louis worth the throwback?

Tune in for the FINAL review of Shopaholic Louis! 🎙️🛍️

📅 Aired: 2016

🎬 Episodes: 16

Sooo, are you Team Chan or Team CEO???

….

Or. TEAM. ROY??? Always team Roy. 💕🥹🥹🥹

….

D.N.X.  D.N.X!

Maddie and Elle are here to talk their new favorite 3rd gen boy group, DNX!!!! + this drama too I guess LOL

…

Just kidding, today the girls are here to chat one of their favorite dramas from this year, “My Bias, My Boss”! This show was surprisingly amazing for an idol drama, especially since the first couple of episodes did not encourage their confidence. 😂 But this kdrama got steadily better every episode, and the last scene was actually the best of the entire show. 

…

My Bias, My Boss is a 12-episode KDrama that just aired this summer. It follows Nam Da-reum, a spunky and bubbly fan of kpop group D.N.X., as she follows member Lee Chan to the clothing company he founded. Expecting Lee Chan to be her boss, she’s initially disappointed to realize that the actual CEO is not Chan but Kang Ha-gi, a cold but (super sweet) childhood friend of Chan’s.

….

You can watch “My Bias, My Boss” on Viki now!

DNX LIVE REUNION TOUR WHEN????

….

Maddie and Elle are here to talk the first two episodes of the new idol rom-com “My Bias, My Boss”! While they always love idol shows (bonus points if there’s a fake idol group - CHECK), they can’t figure out if they can bias Lee Chan due to his high flirt levels LOL

.....

But, let’s be real, this show might have the making for an A+, unserious, kdrama romcom. 

• Chaotic FL? CHECK

• Non-celebrity ML in a 3-piece suit that she’ll choose instead of the famous idol she thinks she loves? CHECK 

• Secondhand embarrassment off the charts? CHECK CHECK CHECK

….

We hope you enjoy this Through Two, and let us know on our Discord channel if you’re watching, too!!

….

“My Bias, My Boss” is airing on Mondays and Tuesdays this August and can be found on Viki
