Customer Reviews
listen to your hearts content
incredible storyline, i couldn’t stop thinking about it even after i finished listened to it. a work of art.
So wholesome!!!
I started this at 10 am and finished at 3 pm the same day THATS HOW GOOD THIS SERIES IS!! Fell in love with it from the first episode and bawled my eyes out the entirety of the last episode. Rich in culture, family dynamics, first generation immigrants and so much more. Part of me is heartbroken there is only 6 episodes but the other part of me is glad I even got to experience it.
Can’t Stop Listening
Beautiful podcast. One will get a great flavor of culture, acceptance and self awareness.
