I really loved these episodes. Really really. I fully acknowledge that this drama is very focused on its visual presentation and stylising itself into these perfectly composed moments, but still the emotions of it are layered, and even if it’s not quite as messy, it’s no less complicated. Are its moments as organic as a... Continue Reading →
It’s not finale week, but why does it already feel like it is? WE HAVE ONE MORE WEEK. A week we badly, desperately need after everything this week has dealt us—the biggest of which has been answers, so many answers. And of course therefore, even bigger questions. This show has never felt like it was... Continue Reading →
We’re well into the show’s groove and this week it was all about couples—not so much the romantic ones (though of course there is that...one), but all the other complicated ways in which two people can be connected to each other. Down below, we look at what those connections do to them, and what they... Continue Reading →
The second week of Record of Youth continues to add layers to its already layered relationships. I’m surprised by just how much ground the show covers in two hours—meaning that a whole lot of change has happened since opening week (also whoops, we're behind, but we still haven't decided whether to run full cover on...

(Squees included!) It's our third anniversary, so we thought today would be a perfect... Continue Reading →
Anisa: We binge-watched the Netflix reality series Indian Matchmaking! Along with what seems like the rest of the world, and especially South Asians. We also caught the follow-up interviews with some of the cast that were released six days ago. Let’s just say...we have a lot of feelings. Saya: I can’t believe I watched the... Continue Reading →
I haven’t caught much K-drama lately, but the nostalgia bug bit me and I found myself nomming through a handful of late 90s/early 2000s romcoms. I mentioned it to my friends, and was surprised to see how deep the love ran, so Paroma and I sat down to gab a little about some good ones.... Continue Reading →
Backstreet Rookie In many ways, I think the less time spent talking about SBS's Backstreet Rookie, the better, but unfortunately, we need to talk about it because it has Problems. Big ones. And I don't just mean the questionable casting, because—against all common sense and public conversation—this is the show that went one better and... Continue Reading →
This month, we talk about The King a LOT, and check out a whole bunch of new dramas - some of them are great, some not so much, but hey, there's always lots to talk about! What have you been watching? Listen to the episode here: TIMESTAMPS: 00:02:31 The King 00:29:16 Once Again 00:34:53 Unfamiliar... Continue Reading →
Okay friends! After a few rounds of housewarming, we reckon it's time for a new adventure. How do you all feel about something a little different? And by "different", I mean BRUTAL. But also loving. After all, we don't want to spill too much blood on our nice new floors. The idea is pretty simple.... Continue Reading →
