Episode 89 - 'Suspicious Partner' Ep. 9-16

This week we watched episodes 9-16 of ‘Suspicious Partners’ and it’s making us so nervous!! Join us as we talk about crime, romance, and bromance. We also get very sidetracked and share stories of the times we were conned.

Guys, for real: “Sometimes, …just picture your best friend Raquel being like, ‘Hey, see how you’re uncomfortable? Listen to that.’ Give voice to your discomfort.”

Also: “If there’s anyone in this world who judges you for getting yourself out of a situation that you feel is not good for you, then they’re not good people.”

Episode 88 - 'Suspicious Partner' Ep. 1-8

We got a new theme song and covered a new K-drama and Raquel moved back to Utah so things are really moving and shaking around here! We watched the first eight episodes (or four hours, per usual) of ‘Suspicious Partner’ and you can rest assured that although a lot is changing in our real lives, we bring our usual awkward charm to our coverage of this adorably dark comedy.

Episode 85 - 'Just Between Lovers' Ep. 9-12

Another week of the most beautiful drama we’ve ever seen. We watched ‘Just Between Lovers’ episodes 9 through 12 and cried all the beautiful K-drama tears because this show keeps breaking us and putting us back together again. We also try to make some blanket statements about cultures and generations not our own and we walk them back, but we’d love some feedback on this episode. Do you think our podcast is problematic? Is there more we could be doing/could we be doing something better? We’re out here trying our best to stay woke and honestly we’re bad at it and we’d appreciate your help.

Episode 84 - 'Just Between Lovers' Ep. 5-8

This week, Raquel and Emily watched episodes 5 through 8 of ‘Just Between Lovers’! This time you absolutely have to watch the episodes before listening because Emily gets every single character’s names wrong and if you don’t have context you will get lost in the mess. CEO Seo JOO WON becomes JI WON and Manager Jeong YOO JIN becomes WOO JIN, Moon Soo moonlights asp Min Soo. It only gets worse throughout this and the next few episodes. I’m sorry. This is my nightmare. I am a mess and can offer nothing but apologies.

Episode 83 - 'Just Between Lovers' Ep. 1-4

This week we started the drama ‘Just Between Lovers’ with episodes 1 through 4 and it is warm and delicious chicken soup for our dark and empty souls. We love it so much and can’t wait for all the lessons it has to teach us about being good good humans. Watch the episodes and then join us here as we determine where all the good boys go, discuss healthy conflict resolution, and struggle to verbalize just how much we loved it all.

Episode 82 - 'Hotel Del Luna' Bonus Episode

In our very special bonus episode for ‘Healer' we are joined by our first ever guest, Raquel’s other best friend, Manuel! In this episode, we talk our favorite characters, the most memorable scenes, and - as always - what spinoffs/alternate endings we want. We also develop a new rating system for our dramas, so that’s very exciting.

Editor’s Note: For this episode, we tried a new recording software that came highly recommended and was touted as being able to provide high-quality recordings for podcasts and… the results are not what we’d hoped. The sound quality is not quite up to our usual standards, but we hope you still enjoy the episode and we promise to find something that works better in the future!

Episode 81 - 'Hotel Del Luna' Ep. 13-16

It’s the finale! This week, we review the last four episodes of the magical show ‘Hotel Del Luna.’ It’s hard to let this one go in its Jaguar to Heaven, but we’re sending this wonderful show off with our review of the parts that made us cry in the best ways, a fashion corner, and more Coffee Ghost jokes. Also, as a fun little bonus for this episode, Raquel makes Emily cry! If you’ve got trouble telling the hosts apart, hopefully this can help you sort them out. It’s an emotional week, so buckle in for this one.
