I'm only two episodes into Our Unwritten Seoul and I’m already all in. Park Bo-young is pulling double duty as twin sisters, and she’s killing it—but can we talk about the chemistry between her and Park Jin-young? Their scenes together have this subtle spark that totally caught me off guard (in the best way). In this episode, I’m sharing my first impressions, favorite moments so far, and why this drama has the potential to be something really special. Thanks for listening! | |||

When I say Suer walks the ground Mook walks on, I mean he practically crawls. The bond, the trust and the communication, just chefs kiss. Thanks for listening! | |||

| 129. Resident Playbook - Kinda disappointed... | 30 Apr 2025 | 00:16:01 | |
I finally started Resident Playbook and I have to say, its not as heartwarming as Hospital Playlist.. and yes, I do compare the two. Thanks for listening! | |||

| 127. Light Shop - The power of will, and the light at the end of the tunnel | 16 Apr 2025 | 00:22:33 | |
Light Shop blends the supernatural with some really raw, human moments. It’s eerie, emotional, and kind of beautiful in they way it explores what drives us to keep going—especially when we’re stuck in the unknown. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 126. For Eagle Brothers - A nice little family drama to pass the time | 10 Apr 2025 | 00:13:48 | |
For Eagle Brothers is a nice reminder of why I like weekend dramas! I love the relationship between the sister-in-law and the brothers. It really warms my heart and I absolutely love the military-heiress couple! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 125. The Scandal of Chun Hwa - A bold reimagining of historical dramas centering female desire. | 02 Apr 2025 | 00:12:34 | |
I'm always sold on a story that gives women sexual agency and liberation and The Scandal of Chun Hwa does just that. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 124. Top Form Ep 1-3 First Impressions - We love an obsessive male lead! | 28 Mar 2025 | 00:20:35 | |
TopForm is only on its third episode but it feels like eternity. Smart and Boom playing Jin and Akin exude such intense chemistry that I just might not survive through this! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 123. Buried Hearts - I do love a male-centric non-crime drama. Bonus if the lead is hot! | 19 Mar 2025 | 00:25:41 | |
I like how clever the male lead is. I like how he loves the female lead regardless of their situation, and how she also loves him right back. I also like that the female lead has motives not necessarily tied to the male lead, despite her love for him. This drama is definitely textbook makjang but thankfully just the right amount. At this point, I just want to know who the main lead really is. Also, PARK HYUNG-SIK! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 122. Thamep Ep 13 Final Review - This series will go down as one of my all time favorite BLs | 12 Mar 2025 | 00:14:24 | |

| 121. ThamePo Ep 12 - That letter... | 05 Mar 2025 | 00:12:44 | |
Po finds Thame’s letter, and I might've shed a tear... Between Po getting fired and teaming up with MARS, this episode had me on edge—one step closer to the finale, and I’m not ready to say goodbye! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 120. ThamePo Ep 11 - My poor baby Thame | 26 Feb 2025 | 00:19:47 | |
I continue on my weekly review of ThamePo and this episode was a tearjearker... Thanks for listening! | |||

Nothing can begin to explain how I love ThamePo... In this episode, I continue on my review of ThamePo and looking into the critique of the toxic idol culture. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 118. ThamePo Ep 8-9 Review - I.AM.OBSESSED! | 12 Feb 2025 | 00:19:47 | |
William and Est deliver one of the best performances and I can't get enough of them. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 117. When it rains, it pours (Futtara Doshaburi) Ep1-4 Review - Turn off your moral compass for this one | 05 Feb 2025 | 00:14:25 | |
Correction: I say Sei's BF is aromantic, but I mean asexual. We don't condone cheating in the house... or do we? Thanks for listening! | |||
| 116. ThamePo Heart That Skips A Beat Ep 1-7 Review - When Subtlety Hits Like a Truck: The Art of Saying More with Less | 29 Jan 2025 | 00:19:21 | |
ThamePo, a Thai BL that completely surprised me. The show is simple but so full of heart, with amazing chemistry between the leads, William and Est. What I love most is how emotions speak through actions, not just words. The story feels real and natural, and you can feel every bit of the connection between Thame and Po. It’s a Thai BL that’s definitely setting a new standard. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 115. Guardians of the Dafeng Final Review - What was that ending?? | 22 Jan 2025 | 00:18:52 | |
Guardians of the Dafeng could have easily become one of my favourite dramas, but that ending was so abysmal... I better see a season 2 sometime in the next few years. I don't care if it takes as long as Joy of Life did to release its season 2. But it better happen! That said, I had a blast with this drama. Super super entertaining! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 114. Our Youth - A simple yet beautiful love story between two lonely boys | 15 Jan 2025 | 00:17:51 | |
Our Youth is one of those dramas that leaves you feeling emotional. Hirukawa was a character that had me wanting to take up arms to protect him, because he is pure, yet has to go through so much. Thankfully, Minase comes to care for him, and they are able to be there for one another. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 113. Drama's I'm anticipating in 2025 - When it rains, it pours, Our generation, The Best Thing, Wife of a 21st Century Prince | 08 Jan 2025 | 00:06:28 | |
Just me talking about some of the dramas I'm excited for in 2025. Thanks for listening! | |||

I'm sat for a drama that reminds me of EverNight and Joy of Life which is why Guardians of the Dafeng with only four episodes so far, has me captivated. Thanks for listening! | |||

It has been a great year for dramas and here are my 2024 wrapped! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 110. When the Phone Rings Ep 5&6 - Who is Baek Saeon & who is the accomplice? | 18 Dec 2024 | 00:20:31 | |
Spoiler Alert: I speculate on the mystery aspect of the drama which might or might not be accurate so watch at your own risk. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 109. Blossom Ep 1-11 First Impressions - December is a gift that just keeps giving. Blessed with another rebirth plot and this one might be the best one yet! | 11 Dec 2024 | 00:19:28 | |
Correction: I say Blossoms with an s but this drama is titled Blossom without the s. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 108. Watchlist Digest - When The Phone Rings Ep 3-4 & The Trunk Ep 1-6 | 04 Dec 2024 | 00:20:07 | |
When The Phone Rings continues to be my obsession. I am actually hoping this drama sticks the landing with the plot. It's going so well so far. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 107. When the Phone Rings Ep1-2 First Impressions - There's something about a husband secretly pining for his own wife that's just... | 27 Nov 2024 | 00:19:21 | |
When The Phone Rings is fast becoming my guilty pleasure! Because what do you mean this is an arranged marriage, where the uptight male lead is secretly in love with his own wife and loses all sense of reason when she's in a hint of danger?! Wattpad called and they want one of their novels story back! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 106. My Cherie Amour - The rich outspoken heiress & a straitlaced judge falling in love is a sight to behold | 20 Nov 2024 | 00:24:01 | |
My Cherie Amour has me enamored! The female lead super dynamic, confident and just amazing especially for her time. The male lead also has my heart. He is so lovely and looks absolutely dashing in every outfit! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 105. Watchlist Digest: Drama's I'm anticipating - The Trunk, When the Phone Rings and Light Shop | 13 Nov 2024 | 00:14:14 | |
The Trunk, When the Phone Rings and Light Shop are three drama's I'm anticipating. Two of three includes a married couple which seems like the vibe going into Christmas lol. The Light Shop is my most anticipated of all three though, and that stems from the fact that it's from the Author and Screenwriter of Moving which remains one of the most original Korean drama's I've ever watched. Honestly, I'm super excited for all the year-end dramas. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 104. Autumn's Concerto - A classic angst drama that I always go back to | 06 Nov 2024 | 00:23:00 | |
Autumn's Concerto is one of the classics. I have rewatched this drama quite a few times. I find the male lead especially well written but the female could've been given better character development in the second half. Every other character was also well developed, and very relatable. Honestly, dramas of this 2000s era were everything. Love this! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 103. Love of Nirvana Ep 1-10 First Impressions - The ML is morally questionable and that's what makes the drama worthwhile | 30 Oct 2024 | 00:21:20 | |
Love of Nirvana has me glued to my screen. I think this is one of the few legitimate enemies to lovers drama. Because the ML has tortured the FL so many times that it would be a miracle when they end up together. The ML is also morally ambiguous and will resort to just about anything to achieve his goal, and no FL is gonna get in his way. I love his character and conviction and he is what has sold me on this drama. An added plus is the smarts the FL has. She is very astute and quick on her feet and it is this combo that makes this drama pure entertainment. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 102. Watchlist Digest - Judge From Hell, The Rise of Ning and Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo | 22 Oct 2024 | 00:23:08 | |
There are three dramas that currently have my attention. Judge From Hell remains an enjoyable fun time despite the heavy subject matter. The Rise of Ning, on the other hand, is my current obsession. I love when my couple has trust and respect for one another. It makes their bond ironclad and delightful to watch. And that is what the leads in The Rise of Ning are giving. Whereas Lets Free the Curse of Taekwondo has a more mellow, bleak tone to it and yet is able to give you a sweet, lovely feeling that comes with first love. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 101. The Rise of Ning - Reminds me a lot of Story of Minglan so I'm sat. | 16 Oct 2024 | 00:16:16 | |
The Rise of Ning is my latest Chinese drama obsession. It reminds me of Love like a Galaxy and Story of Minglan, and I'm here for it. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 100. The Judge from Hell Ep 1-4 First Impressions - It's very camp and so fun! We love an vengeful queen! | 09 Oct 2024 | 00:10:38 | |
The Judge from Hell is Park Shin-Hye's return to the small screen and I'm loving her in this new role. I'll need more dramas like this where the lead is an unremourseful, uncaring, merciless, and down right sociopathic character. Especially when its the female lead! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 99. You Are My Lover Friend Ep 1-14 First Impressions - The leads are literal soulmates, and most believable friends to lovers drama I've ever watched. | 02 Oct 2024 | 00:24:59 | |
You Are My Lover Friend has to be one of the best portrayals of the friends-to-lovers trope. I am really enjoying how much they care for one another and the lengths they will go to for each other. They are so fluffy and make me want to believe in love. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 98. 4 Minutes Final Review - This drama shows just how terribly written characters can ruin a good story | 25 Sep 2024 | 00:18:52 | |
Korn and Tonkla were the only impressionable part of this drama. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 97. The Time of Fever - Help! I don't think I'll ever move on from this one! | 18 Sep 2024 | 00:24:52 | |
The Time of Fever is easily one of the best BLs have watched and the chemistry between the leads just shot this to the top of my Favorites List! Just wow.. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 96. Queen of Tears Final Review - Men written by women and the perfect character trope | 11 Sep 2024 | 00:13:05 | |
I finally caught up on Queen of Tears and I have just one gripe with the drama.... (Not to be taken seriously). Thanks for listening! | |||
| 95. No Gain No Love Ep 1-3 First Impressions - It's unbelievable how hilarious and engaging I'm finding this drama | 04 Sep 2024 | 00:18:18 | |
No Gain No Love might become one of my favourite romcoms of all time, and I'm only 3 episodes in! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 94. 4 Minutes Ep 3-5 Review - In defense of Korn | 28 Aug 2024 | 00:25:28 | |
No Korn slander will be allowed in this house. Great on the other hand... Thanks for listening! | |||
| 93. Watchlist Digest - Love Next Door & Romance in the House | 21 Aug 2024 | 00:13:08 | |
In the episode of The Dramasology Podcast, I cover Love Next Door, a new drama starring one of my favorite actresses, Jung So-min. I will be honest and say, this drama hasn't caught me because I feel it is very similar to tons of other dramas about the FL going back to her hometown to rediscover herself but I'll keep watching for my girl. I am enjoying Romance in the House a lot more. The idea of a father trying to warm his way back into the lives of his family that loathes him turns out to be comedic gold and I love it. The little added romance between the FL and her security guard/ceo's son just adds more magic to the story. I am absolutely loving this new and fresh story idea and I encourage everyone to watch! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 92. Our Dating Sim - A straight 10 out of 10 | 14 Aug 2024 | 00:12:58 | |
No one will ever understand my love for Our Dating Sim, the 2023 Korean BL series. This is easily one of my all time favorite dramas because everything was giving. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 91. 4 Minutes Ep 1&2 First Impressions - So much mystery and oh so much tension. Love it! | 07 Aug 2024 | 00:19:01 | |
I caught up on the first two episodes of 4 Minutes and I am absolutely blown away by the cinematography and the story. The super sizzling tension between the leads also helps. This drama already has me on edge Thanks for listening! | |||
| 90. Watchlist Digest - My most anticipated dramas: Queen Woo, Love Next Door, First Frost & Monster Next Door | 31 Jul 2024 | 00:14:51 | |
I'm super excited about Queen Woo because I think Jeon Jong Seo is a fantastic actress and the sleuth of amazing male co-stars definitely helps. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 89. Sweet Home S3 - Glad to close this chapter | 24 Jul 2024 | 00:20:53 | |
I checked out Season 3 of Sweet Home despite how much I despised Season 2 (you can check out my rant about that season), and honestly, it wasn't the best but it was at least entertaining. Lee Do Hyun is always pleasant to watch. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 88. My Stand In Final Thoughts - Best of the best!... but just one thing the story could've done better at | 17 Jul 2024 | 00:12:51 | |
My Stand In has finished airing and I am sad to see it go. It was easily one of the most engaging BL's I've ever watched. Full to toxicity (but we love it for that) but also full of heart. I'm gonna miss Joe and Ming so much! Now that the drama is over, there's only one thing they could've done better.... Thanks for listening! | |||
| 87. Watchlist Digest - Takara No Vidro (Takara's Treasure), This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans & As Beautiful as You | 10 Jul 2024 | 00:13:06 | |
This episode I explore three dramas: Takara No Vidro (Takara's Treasure) - which I think is super similar to My Beautiful Man in a good way, This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans - funny title but great sizzling chemistry between the leads & As Beautiful as You where for once, the boyfriend (not male lead) of the female lead is a decent person! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 86. The Princess Royal Ep 1-11 First Impressions - This couple is an absolute unit and their machinations are so entertaining to watch | 03 Jul 2024 | 00:22:04 | |
I just started watching The Princess Royal and I am absolutely in love with the lead couple. They argue and fight but they also communicate, trust and work so well together. Honestly, dream couple. Thanks for listening! | |||
| 85. My Stand In - A rant in defense of Ming, the new poster boy for the toxic male lead in BL. | 26 Jun 2024 | 00:19:11 | |
My love for My Stand In knows no bounds, and I'm back with another episode to defend the undefendable, toxic gremlin that is Ming! I also examine Joe more deeply and why he has some things to answer for. Ming apologists unite! Thanks for listening! | |||
| 84. My Stand In Ep 7-8 Review - Ming's obsession & toxicity is just my cup of tea | 19 Jun 2024 | 00:16:13 | |
I continue on my review of My Stand In. Joe, a stunt double for a famous actor Tong, falls in love with Ming, the son of a wealthy family. From finding out he is only a stand in to Ming, to getting into an accident that transmigrates him into the body of another person, Joe continues to deal with attention from Ming, who is now suspicious of this new person. Thanks for listening! | |||
