YA GIRL'S KDrama Podcast Maddie, Christina and Elle

The moment is FINALLY here and what a journey it has been! Maddie & Christina finished Healer for their ‘Throwback Drama watch’ and couldn’t be more happy that they decided to give this show a shot.

....

In this episode, Maddie and Christina do a full review to discuss the characters, deep dive through memorable scenes, and gush about how the show won their hearts. (MADDIE IS WHIPPED FOR HEALER and his turtle necks that go up past his nose, IYKYK.)

....

While ‘Healer’ had a great (but out of place) soundtrack and rocked the old spy show vibe, the storyline and lovable characters are what kept people watching. This is a show that is adored by many and it remains a favorite to many kdrama watchers.

I think we’re all shook by how good the first two episodes of Lovely Runner were. Like, really good.

…..

Over here crossing our fingers that the rest of the drama lives up the standards these first eps set for it!! Maddie and Elle talk through the plot of Lovely Runner, hype up how great this FL is (and how tall the ML is, MOTHER), and give some of their juiciest theories about this plot!!! They also cross their fingers for MORE ECLIPSE (buying the lightstick over here)!!!!!

….

As I’m sure y’all are loving this drama just as much as we are, enjoy this Through Two episode! Excited to journey through this drama together!

…..

“Lovely Runner” stars Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon and is airing on Viki: Mondays and Tuesdays through May 28, 2024.

Wow, this show has finally come to an end and it did not disappoint. 

…..

Slump Doc was a big warm hug that everyone needed. It was one of the healthiest and biggest green flag dramas that has come out recently. (Also, the secondary couple was PERFECT and too cute for words.)

…

Maddie and Christina discuss the many themes revolving around the show, how lovable all the characters are and how vital it is to have people in your corner supporting you through rough times. Jeong-woo and Ha-neul’s journey proves that there is always light at the end of the tunnel and that rough patches in life are temporary. 

….

(PLUS, PARK HYUNG-SIK’S FASHION WAS IMPECCABLE OMG)
