    (S6) EP#181: Catch a Vibe w/Lola: Your Fave Kdrama Girlies

    Today’s episode is the long overdue follow-up to last year’s Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day episode of Lola Pops Off About Kdramas. Or really, it’s another Catch a Vibe with Lola episode where I just sit back and talk about YOUR favorite Kdrama girlies. In the original episode, I shared some of my favorite female character archetypes in Kdramaland. I talked about the kinds of characters that always stand out to me when I’m watching dramas. From the Sad Girl and the Hardworking Girl with a Heart of Gold to the Messy Girl (but we love to see it), the Kicking A** Girl, the Ride or Die Girl, and many more. At the end of that episode, I asked listeners to submit their favorite characters for each archetype. And you really came through. So in this episode, I’m finally circling back and looking at the responses you sent in. We’ll revisit the archetypes, talk about the characters you nominated, and celebrate just how many different kinds of women exist in Kdramaland. If you’ve been around since my “I Pop Off About Kdramas How About You” episodes then you already know how much I enjoy hearing your thoughts and including my lovely Kdrama friends (that's you guys!) in the conversation. Reading through your responses reminded me how many incredible female characters there are across Kdramas. So settle in, catch a vibe with me, and let’s talk about your favorite Kdrama girlies. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode! Let me know if you want to join the conversation with a feature in the next rendition!

    (S6) EP#180: Lola’s Ramblings & Musings: Before Our Regularly Scheduled Program Begins!

    Today's episode is the first Ramblings & Musings episode of season 6 of the podcast! I thought it would be a good start to the season so I can get you all up to speed with where I currently am with Kdramas already in 2026! As with most of my Ramblings & Musings, I discuss dramas I've recently finished, those currently in progress, and upcoming releases for February. However, please know that these Ramblings & Musings episodes won't be the star of the season, but instead my new podcast series: "Late to the Party." This theme is my commitment to finally watching and discussing those Kdramas that have been recommended by listeners over time but that I haven't yet seen. This season, I am determined to finally explore those gems that you all hold near and dear. So, listen to this episode to start the year with me and to get an idea of what's to come for Lola Pops off about Kdramas Podcast!

    Today's episode, I'm back with a new Ramblings & Musings for you! I've been away a little while, but I'm back with a full episode. For this one, I created a mantra that you should know before going in to listen--the mantra is: "You win some. You lose some." Now with that in mind, you might know how these ramblings and musings about these dramas may sound. Listen now to hear what I had to say about some of our currently airing dramas and some dramas I introduced you to in the last ramblings and musings episode. Then after you finish listening, please share with me your thoughts on any or all the dramas I discussed! I think we have a lot to talk about!
