Off By Purple Heart Podcast Monique

This podcast is all about the k drama "Lovely Runner," starring Byeon Woo - seok and Kim Hye - Yoon. This show does a lot of commentary on the k pop industry in the first episode and also goes into detail about parasocial relationships and how bittersweet our two leads first interactions are. I also talk about my own experience with parasocial relationship(s) with BTS (and I even go into some news about Namjoon/RM)!

Spoilers ahead ( I give warning in advance).

This is my full final review of the Taiwanese BL series "Unknown," starring Xuan and Chris Chiu.

I give a spoiler free over view of the show and I also go into more detailed spoilers that I warn about in advance (that specifically highlights episodes 10, 11 and 12). I also talk about the BEST SCENE in the entire series!

I'm talking about the best BL right now airing again and how brilliantly the show uses symbolism to showcase the many complex stages of this building story!

This is all in anticipation for the next THREE eps coming out at once! Happy watching (there will be spoilers in this episode).

Nothing But You is such a chemistry filled surprise! Found family, work hustle culture, single motherhood and career development and so much more is in this show and this podcast is all about talking about the many different faces of this show. Leo Wu does it AGAIN!

I've been wanting to check out more C dramas with Wu Lei and decided to give the tennis c drama romance, "Nothing But You," a shot.

A plus in this drama already is that it's apparently a noona/older woman drama...so we'll see how this age gap is handled and overall if Leo Wu can create some magic here too!

Unknown is a complicated, yet emotionally resonant Taiwanese BL, starring Chris Chiu and Kurt Huang. I wanted and needed to make a podcast episode highlighting it.

It's found family, eventual forbidden love for many messy and complicated reasons, and an exploration on trauma bonds with heavy symbolism throughout. It's a great show but deals in many taboo/sensitive subject matter and may not be for everyone but it deserves a watch.
