Maddie started The Atypical Family and Christina couldn’t be more excited. In this Through Two-Ish, Maddie has watched up to episode 2 and Christina has watched up to episode 6. They talk about the plot and characters, and Maddie predicts what will happen in the later episodes (SHE IS A GREAT GUESSER YOU GUYS).

 ....

This drama is refreshing and has you hooked until the end of each episode. Gwi-Ju (Shaggytown #2) and Da-Hae have amazing chemistry and you keep second-guessing if Da-Hae is on the good or bad side. Maddie and Christina talk about Gwi-Ju (and how swoony he is because Christina is not okay), all the family members (the daughter’s story line is TOP-NOTCH), and how this drama is nothing like what they have seen before. 

.....

It’s hard not to root for this family to be happy again.

 ....

This twelve-episode drama is currently airing on Netflix.

We are all RUNNING LOVINGLY into the arms of SunJae, just saying.

...

In this midway review of Lovely Runner: Maddie, Elle and Christina discuss the swoon factor of SunJae, all their theories, and how Im Sol is the perfect female lead. This show has everything for everyone.

....

((Is it just them, or does everyone else also pretend that they are Im Sol and that their bias is SunJae??? THIS GIRL IS GOALS, YO. SHE DID IT WHEN NO ONE ELSE COULD.))

....

Be on the lookout for a full review of Lovely Runner at the end of May!

Maddie and Christina (barely) made it, yo. 
……
They have finished Queen of Tears and have many thoughts; unfortunately, this drama disappointed them. Queen of Tears was a highly anticipated drama with an excellent cast, a well-known writer, and beautiful music. The main couple had strong chemistry but failed to give the viewers the scenes that were deserved. This drama had the potential to shine, but it fell short. 
….
In this episode, Maddie and Christina talk about the variety of plots (that were unnecessary) and how they felt that the main couple acted like side characters. ((How did this family not know that everyone around them was pure evil???)) Why was the show 58482 hours long? (wait… it’s because of all the extra story lines.)
……
Hyun-Woo was the highlight of this drama, but was it enough for Maddie and Christina to love it like everyone else did?
