Nov 18, 2024•1 hr 17 min•Transcript available on Metacast Maddie & Christina have finished The King Eternal Monarch and what a ride (through multiple universes?) it’s been.

Oct 14, 2024•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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.

In this episode, Maddie & Christina deep dive through episodes eight through ...

Sep 03, 2024•59 min•Transcript available on Metacast Maddie & Christina discuss the first two episodes of No Gain No Love & they have … thoughts. This show was highly anticipated because of Shin Min-Ah, but the ladies are having a hard time understanding the dynamic between the two leads.
