Here it is everyone: the much-awaited (spoiler- probably only Hart) review of Netflix's gritty and exhilarating thriller, My Name. Starring Han So Hee of Nevertheless, and World of the Married, this was clearly a departure from her previous roles and showcases her wide range. Also part of the cast are Ahn Bo Hyun and Park Hee Soon, two actors who also showed out. We're also pointing out this drama isn't for those who are scared of blood! This was a treat for both of us, character-building and st...

We have another special guest for our pod! Clara is Hart's friend who has been working with KStreet Manila- a website dedicated to Hallyu events and content- for a few years now. She's basically a veteran here in the PH scene- covering many kpop concerts and fan meets, writing engaging lists and write ups on events, and having the dream job of being close to our favorite idols and oppas/noonas! For this interview, we talked 'bout how she got started, her highs and lows, and all the up-close fang...

Here it is: our updated list of beginner-friendly Kdramas for 2021! Take note that not all of these dramas are new-ish (late 2020 to early 2021) because we prioritized including dramas we thought more kdrama fans would love, especially those who are just starting to get into the genre. We've included a lot of light and fluffy rom-coms, some melodramas, historical dramas aka sageuks, and even a crime thriller. From the mega hit of 2020 "Crash Landing on You" to the fantastical "My Love from Anoth...

How do you watch your kdramas- do you binge or watch per episode? With the mass use of video streaming platforms, it is now much easier to watch our favorite dramas! But the new technology doesn't change the fact that with different people come different watching habits. A lot of Hallyu fans prefer binging to their hearts' content- we don't blame them, its so hard to resist all these amazing dramas! Yet there are many of us (including us here on the Team lol) who have a lot of commitments, roles...

What happens when a woman who doesn't believe in love starts seeing a man who doesn't believe in commitment? For this episode, we let out our butterflies, F E E L S, and our criticism of the JTBC-produced young adult drama, Nevertheless. We invited Ram of the RRL Podcast over for the show so we would also get a different take/perspective for this beautiful (?!) mess of a drama. Also, hooray for the secondary couples in the drama! #SoJi While we will call this series all sorts of names and that i...
