YA GIRL'S KDrama Podcast

Maddie & Christina have finished The King Eternal Monarch and what a ride (through multiple universes?) it’s been. The drama started out strong, but dwindled when it got closer to the ending. 

In this review, Maddie & Christina talk IN DEPTH about this show and what went wrong. This show had all the parts that make a kdrama great, but the ending really wasn’t it.

Their biggest takeaway: have only two universes and call it a day. NOTHING MORE, PLEASE. IFYKYK. 

The King: Eternal Monarch is a 16-episode drama available on Netflix.

....

This show is pulling at EVERYONE’S heart strings and this family deserves THE BIGGEST HUG EVER. 

....

In this episode, the ladies discuss the dynamic between all the characters, their predictions, and their thoughts all the way to episode 8. There is so much depth to San Ha and Hae Joon’s characters. A LOT can happen in the next eight episodes and they are wondering when the time jump will be.

Maddie & Christina are back for another Through Two! The ladies watched the first two episodes of Family By Choice with Jung Chae-Yeon (The King’s Affection), Hwang In-Yeop (True Beauty), Bae Hyun-Sung (Our Blues), Choi Won-Young (Twinkling Watermelon) and Choi Moo-Sung (Reply 1988). 

Maddie is SO STOKED because this drama is a remake of her FAVORITE Chinese drama series “Go Ahead”.

In this episode, the ladies talk about the plot, the characters, and some similarities and differences so far from ‘Go Ahead’. They are both excited about this drama and it looks super promising! 

Family By Choice is a 16-episode drama on Viki. New episodes out every Wednesday. 

Let us know your thoughts about the show below!

Love Next Door officially ended and the ladies needed to talk about this show ASAP! 

Love Next Door was a drama that had many unexpected turns and wasn’t the ‘romantic comedy’ that people were hoping for. What this drama did give the viewers was two love stories, Jung Hae-In’s puppy eyes, a family dynamic that was chaotic and warm, and the theme of how the impact of sharing your struggles with others helps you heal. 

In this episode, Maddie & Christina deep dive through episodes eight through sixteen and gush over Jung Hae-In & Mudflat Man (Christina is OBSESSED…and hoping to marry him). They will miss the iconic banter from the two leads and the paramedic’s epic love story with Dan-Ho and his sweet daughter. All the actors in this drama did a fantastic job and the ladies were sad to say good-bye to the show. 

Love Next Door is a 16-episode drama available on Netflix. 

Let us know what you thought about the show!

Maddie, Elle, & Christina are all here to review No Gain No Love. This drama stars Shin Min-Ah (Hometown Cha Cha Cha) & Kim Young-Dae (The Forbidden Marriage) as the main couple and Lee Sang-Yi (Bloodhounds) & Han Ji-Hyun (Cheer Up) as the secondary couple. 

......

In this episode, the ladies talk about how admirable Shin Min-ah’s character is, how Ji-Uk is the sweetest (that proposal scene? COME ON) and if the show landed the plane. They discuss all the plot points and realize if Lee Sang-Yi’s character is actually questionable. Maddie, Elle, & Christina enjoyed this drama and they are curious to hear your thoughts! 

.....

No Gain No Love is a 12-episode drama available on Amazon Prime.

Maddie & Christina have made it to the halfway mark of The King: Eternal Monarch and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

....

They have loved every bit of the show's first half… but are nervous to continue. The ladies don’t know if it will go downhill after episode eight since not many people mention this show as one of their favorites of all time. 

….

In this midway review, Maddie & Christina continue to talk about the characters, the (ever so detailed) plot, and what they hope will happen as the show continues. They repeatedly have been SWOONING over Lee Min-Ho (the KING OF KINGS) and are curious about what will happen with Lee Gon & Tae-Eul’s love story. 

…..

Are they hoping for a strong ending? Neigh (네). In horse language that means yes, or yes in Korean—your call.
