67. The Spoiled Yak - My Unfamiliar Family03 Sep 202001:08:51
In this Spoiled Yak, Anisa and guests Anja and Yunah discuss the delightful, unconventional family drama My Unfamiliar Family. This layered, funny, warm, sometimes too real show is such a gem - we had nothing but praise for it but we still had so much to say!

66. Bodies & Sexism [Representation in Dramaland]12 Aug 202001:54:43
In Part 2 of Representation in Dramaland, we analyze the trend of very young female leads in contrast with their far older male counterparts, fat-shaming and beauty standards, and ableism, with specific examples of good and bad representation. We reflect on how K-dramas have evolved since we've started watching them, and conclude our exploration of representation with some thoughts on how these conversations often play out in the fandom (or don't), and how we might all approach these stories with more nuance, and our fellow fans with more kindness and respect.
