    Eye Love You

    Welcome to another episode of Love, Mikaela the podcast where I talk about anything and everything I want to. For today's episode I wanted to talk about the J Drama Eye Love You which features a Japanese female lead and a Korean male lead. This drama puts a lot of emphasis on exploring the cultural differences between Korea and Japan so I thought it would be a perfect drama to talk about during AAPI Month. SPOILERS from 28:55-35:53. Thanks for listening!! Love, Mikaela

    Half Japanese (Yes I'm talking about it again lol)

    Happy AAPI Month! This is Love, Mikaela a podcast where I talk about literally anything and everything I want to. For today's episode I wanted to revisit my thoughts on being half Japanese and my own personal experiences. These aren't huge problems and I want to reiterate that I recognize my privilege and acknowledge that in the grand scheme of things these problems are miniscule in comparison to other issues other people face. Fair warning this is a ramble-y one. Again, these are just my own personal thoughts and opinions based on my own real life experience. I do not speak for anyone else and these thoughts and opinions could change in the future. Thanks for tuning in! Time stamps are below. 00:00 Intro 4:22 Not Enough 19:47 Beauty 23:21 Not Speaking the Language 34:24 Connection to my Culture 36:15 White Passing and Racism 47:27 TLDR 48:02 Outro

    May I Help You?

    Hey again! Today's episode I talk about the kdrama "May I Help You?". I was really pleasantly surprised with this drama!! The story is truly amazing and it deals with some really important themes so I'm glad it came up on my radar. As a reminder, starting next month I'll be doing episodes every other week instead of weekly, so next Sunday there will not be a new episode. Thanks for tuning in! Love, Mikaela

    A Love So Beautiful

    Happy Sunday! For today's episode I wanted to talk about the K Drama A Love So Beautiful! SPOILERS from around 24:04-31:06. Also, starting next month I'm moving my podcast episodes to every other week instead of every week because I'm starting to feel burnt out on it. I'm sorry if you look forward to these every week, but in order to make sure I can keep making these I have to slow down just a little! Thanks again for tuning in!! Love, Mikaela
