It’s been an AMAZING year for KPop and Maddie & Elle are here to talk about it!! 

Yo, here we are, halfway through My Demon. This show is literally SO good and - as Elle says - it just keeps getting better with every episode. 

…..

Maddie and Elle chat through the first 8 episodes of My Demon. Who’s the # 1 Psycho?? Why is Song Kang losing his powers?? Will the tattoo ever get transferred back ???

….

Elle’s fav scene is the Tango Scene. Maddie’s fav scene is the Spiderman, falling off buildings, scene. BUT I MEAN, THEY’RE ALL GOOD.  

…..

Song Kang and Kim Yoo-Jung star in My Demon, the new SBS KDrama airing on Netflix on Fridays and Saturdays until January 20, 2024.

OKAY, HI. Maddie and Christina *surprise surprise* are BACK AGAIN to talk the newest Netflix KDrama, Fish Boys in Hel…–, I mean, My Demon.

…..

My Demon. MY. DEMON. My frickin demon. Where do we start??? Is Song-Kang hot? TBD. (although Maddie thinks maybe yes?) Can we trust literally anyone in this show? Probs not. Are we living in classic KDrama trope paradise? Yup.

….

All in all, though, these first two eps were super dynamic and we are hooked! (and anxiously awaiting this “Tango Scene” everyone keeps talking about)

…..

(We apologize in advance that this is, hands down, the most chaotic episode we have EVER recorded….. whoops.) (and that's saying something)

Song Kang and Kim Yoo-Jung star in this new SBS KDrama airing on Netflix on Fridays and Saturdays until January 20, 2024.

Ji Chang-WHO CAN PULL OFF FINGER GUNS THAT WELL?!

….

Maddie and Christina watched the first two episodes of Welcome to Samdalri and are here to tell you that it’s worth the watch so far! This drama is a mixture of Hometown Cha Cha Cha (hello, townspeople!), Our Beloved Summer (hello, lovers - to - enemies - to - lovers), and Our Blues (hello, Jeju Island!). 

…

It also reminds them of a Hallmark Christmas movie, tho, so…. do with that what you will. 

……

Ji Chang-wook and Shin Hye-sun star in this new JTBC drama airing on Netflix on Saturdays and Sundays until January 21, 2024.

HI THIS IS NOW A CHAE JONG-HYEOP STAN PODCAST. (Shaggy-Town for LYFEEE)

…..

Maddie and Christina just finished Castaway Diva (like, 2 hours ago) and they have LOTS to say. This is (arguably) one of the best KDramas of 2023. It has everything a KDrama should have - music… people being stabbed… tall, dimpled Korean men. 

…..

I hope y’all love our review of this new KDrama classic!!
