  • Sticking the Landing: Our Favorite (and not-so-favorite) K-Drama Endings
    Jun 18 2025

    Your noonas have rewritten an ending or two, but that's not what today is about. For this episode, we get to the heart of the matter and talk about what actually makes a good (or not so good) ending. We discuss what happens when a good drama has a bad ending, whether or not a good ending can save a bad drama, and of course, the best and worst (in our opinion) endings in our K-drama experience.

  • The Good, the Bad, the Morally Gray, and...The Non-Human - Our Favorite Secondary Characters
    Jun 4 2025

    Mentors, heralds, allies, shapeshifters--today we explore secondary character archetypes, how a side character can be integral to the main character's growth as well as the overall plot itself, and the fact that some of the best secondary characters might not even be human--or living--at all. Some are gone too soon. Some almost die but don't. And some get their just desserts in the end. Whatever the outcome, we love a three-dimensional side character with main character energy and can't wait to hear about your favorites too!

  • How to Make a Noona Cry in 6 Episodes: Way Back Love Deep Dive
    May 14 2025

    "Let's do a buddy watch!" we said. "How about a short drama?" we said. "How about first loves where one is a grim reaper?"
    Your noonas were excited. Your noonas were all in. Your noonas cried to the point of dehydration. But also, your noonas LOVED Way Back Love and are putting the call out to the K-drama community for more melancholy and more longing...after we all stop grieving. This drama is on all our lists for top 2025 dramas so far, and we can't wait to hear what you think as well!

    Way Back Love is based on the book Naega Jookki Iljooil Jeon by Seo Eun-Chae
    'Come Back to Me' by RM (MV with Kim Min-Ha)
    K-Pop Rec: 'CHEST' by JUST B
