(S4) EP#153: Throwing it Back w/Lola: The Great Gye Choon Bin
Today's episode I'm throwing it back to a drama special from 2010, The Great Gye Choon Bin! I'm not sure if anyone's ever seen this hour-long drama special from KBS, but I think it's a a gem of a drama directed by Goblin's Lee Eung Bok and written by our infamous Yoon Nan Joong. It's a gem of a story and I had a lovely time retelling the drama special in this Throwing it Back episode.
As we know, in this season of the podcast, we're jumping around the past 20+ years of Kdramaland to find and rediscover what it is about these small screen masterpieces that make us love and appreciate them so much. It's also a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from these dramas and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them!
To hear about this special little drama, a discussion about Yoon Nan Joong, and the gift that are drama specials listen now! IG: @lolapopsoffaboutkdramas

(S4) EP#152: Throwing it Back w/Lola: Summer Scent
After a short break from my Throwing it Back episodes, we return with another classic, 2003's Summer Scent. It's one of the four "Endless Love" dramas, albeit the least popular one, but for me it was the first that I watched from this Hallyu Wave-inciting drama series. So, it only seemed right to return to it for this season!

So, join me as I try to figure out if there is merit in watching this 2003 melo about a heart transplant patient falling in love with her donor's first love. IG: @lolapopsoffaboutkdramas

(S4) EP#149: Throwing it Back w/Lola: Splash Splash Love
After last week's episode, (almost 3-hour long rave about City Hunter) I decided it would be best to give you and I a short breather episode. So, today we're throwing it back to 2015's Splash Splash Love!
As we know, in this season of the podcast, we're jumping around the past 20+ years of Kdramaland to find and rediscover what it is about these small screen masterpieces that make us love and appreciate them so much. It's also a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from these dramas and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them!
So, join me for a splash into the past with this time-traveling short comedic good time called Splash Splash Love. IG: @lolapopsoffaboutkdramas

(S4) EP#148: Throwing it Back w/Lola: City Hunter
Next in our Throwing it Back w/Lola season is 2011's City Hunter! (And many of you guessed right it last week!) As we know, in this season of the podcast, we're jumping around the past 20+ years of Kdramaland to find and rediscover what it is about these small screen masterpieces that make us love and appreciate them so much. It's also a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from these dramas and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them!
But with today's episode, I officially am discussing one of those pivotal Kdramas for me in my Kdrama journey. It's a drama that I unfortunately spend over two hours talking about in this episode because of this very fact. It's also a podcast episode about a drama that gives almost episode-by-episode spoilers...so proceed with caution! I do include time stamps if you want to listen to the production notes about the drama and/or just skip to the end where I give my favorite and least favorite things about this drama and any other general thoughts on it! But the bulk of this episode is a play-by-play of why I love this drama and it's a good episode for a drinking game! Drink every time I describe something as "so good!"
So, join me as I revisit one of my favorite Kdramas, City Hunter.
Production Notes:
(00:00-26:16)
Spoilers (Initial, Midpoint, Final Thoughts):
(26:17-2:28:35)
Favorite/Least Favorite Elements:
