    Show notes

    Maddie & Christina are doing a Through Two on the new K-drama Between Steps! 💕

  4. Through Two: Coffee Prince

    Show notes

    Christina & Elle are going WAY back for their newest Throwback Series with the 2007 K-drama classic Coffee Prince! ☕️👑

    In the first two episodes, they meet Go Eun-chan, a hardworking young woman who is often mistaken for a man, and Choi Han-gyeol, a wealthy chaebol trying to avoid the blind dates his grandmother keeps arranging. When their paths cross, Han-gyeol—believing Eun-chan is a man—hires her to pretend to be his boyfriend and scare off his potential matches. 😂

    Christina & Elle chat about their first impressions, the VERY 2007 of it all, the characters, and whether this K-drama classic has them hooked after just two episodes.

  5. Shopaholic Louis Final Review: Well… We Made It!

    Show notes

    Maddie & Christina are FINALLY back to finish their Throwback Series on Shopaholic Louis! 🛍️

    And, well…there’s a reason it took them a little while to get here. The second half of this drama was BRUTAL to get through. 😭 Christina has THOUGHTS, and she has to ask: could this possibly be the worst drama she’s ever seen…EVER?!

    The ladies break down the final stretch of the drama—all the absolutely random things that happened, why the second male lead is constantly GROWLING whenever he doesn’t like something, and at what point the audience should become genuinely concerned about the number of times Louis gets hit in the head. 🫠

    Was there anything they actually liked? (Maddie can answer this one for the team.) Did the ending redeem ANYTHING? And most importantly…was Shopaholic Louis worth the throwback?

    Tune in for the FINAL review of Shopaholic Louis! 🎙️🛍️

    📅 Aired: 2016

  6. My Bias, My Boss Review: D.N.X. COMEBACK SEASON!!!

    Show notes

    Sooo, are you Team Chan or Team CEO???

    ….

    Or. TEAM. ROY??? Always team Roy. 💕🥹🥹🥹

    ….

    D.N.X. D.N.X!

    Maddie and Elle are here to talk their new favorite 3rd gen boy group, DNX!!!! + this drama too I guess LOL

    …

    Just kidding, today the girls are here to chat one of their favorite dramas from this year, “My Bias, My Boss”! This show was surprisingly amazing for an idol drama, especially since the first couple of episodes did not encourage their confidence. 😂 But this kdrama got steadily better every episode, and the last scene was actually the best of the entire show.

    …

    My Bias, My Boss is a 12-episode KDrama that just aired this summer. It follows Nam Da-reum, a spunky and bubbly fan of kpop group D.N.X., as she follows member Lee Chan to the clothing company he founded. Expecting Lee Chan to be her boss, she’s initially disappointed to realize that the actual CEO is not Chan but Kang Ha-gi, a cold but (super sweet) childhood friend of Chan’s.

    ….

    You can watch “My Bias, My Boss” on Viki now!

  9. Through Two: My Bias, My Boss

    Show notes

    DNX LIVE REUNION TOUR WHEN????

    ….

    Maddie and Elle are here to talk the first two episodes of the new idol rom-com “My Bias, My Boss”! While they always love idol shows (bonus points if there’s a fake idol group - CHECK), they can’t figure out if they can bias Lee Chan due to his high flirt levels LOL

    .....

    But, let’s be real, this show might have the making for an A+, unserious, kdrama romcom.

    •

    Chaotic FL? CHECK

    •

    Non-celebrity ML in a 3-piece suit that she’ll choose instead of the famous idol she thinks she loves? CHECK

    •

    Secondhand embarrassment off the charts? CHECK CHECK CHECK

    ….

    We hope you enjoy this Through Two, and let us know on our Discord channel if you’re watching, too!!

    ….

    “My Bias, My Boss” is airing on Mondays and Tuesdays this August and can be found on Viki

  11. Yumi's Cells S1 Review: Team Yumi ALL THE WAY!

    Show notes

    Christina & Maddie are back to review Season 1 of Yumi’s Cells!

    Maddie got HOOKED on this series after watching Season 3 first, and she's been going back to experience the first installment of this sweet K-drama.

    Season 1 follows Kim Yumi (Kim Go Eun – Goblin, The King: Eternal Monarch), whose tiny brain cells hilariously guide her every emotion, decision, and overthinking moment. When Yumi meets Goo Woong (Ahn Bo Hyun – Itaewon Class, Her Private Life), she begins opening her heart again.

    In other words, the ladies didn't seem to mind Wung's earnest and genuine personality... even if he showed up to their first date wearing flip-flops, shorts, and a T-shirt. 😂

    LOLOLOLOL Maddie and Christina are here for a midway review of Shopaholic Louis, the 2016 kdrama MASTERPIECE starring Seo In-guk and Nam Ji-hyun. This show is 100% not Christina’s cup of tea in any way, and that makes it really funny. Maddie likes it because it’s 12 levels of ridiculous + also Seo In-guk. Obviously.

  15. Through Two: See You at Work Tomorrow!

    Show notes

    💼💕 Maddie & Christina are here to Through Two See You at Work Tomorrow! Seo In-Guk has quickly become one of their favorite male leads of all time... and for good reason. 🤭✨

    Burnout, office politics, and an unlikely connection take center stage in See You at Work Tomorrow. When exhausted employee Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun – Yumi's Cells, Do You Like Brahms?) is assigned to work under her blunt and intimidating boss, Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk – Death's Game, Boyfriend on Demand), the pair slowly discover that first impressions aren't always right. This workplace rom-com blends humor, heart, and healing as two coworkers become each other's greatest source of comfort. 🥹💛

    The ladies are thoroughly enjoying this one and can't wait to see what happens next! 🫶

    (or, as elle would say, another HONG MINGI SHOW)

    …..

    Elle and Maddie chat the first two eps of Doctor on the Edge. They talk the (minimal, but gross) medical scenes, Lee Jaewook’s charm, and Elle’s predicted second-male-lead syndrome. They love a good quirky small town feel, so they’re hoping this drama stays as good as it’s been so far!

    …..

    Doctor on the Edge is a currently-airing kdrama on Disney + / Hulu this summer. It stars Lee Jaewook as a plastic surgeon, forced to serve his mandatory military service as a doctor on a remote island, and Shin Ye-Eun as a nurse at the same hospital. Check it out on Mondays and Tuesdays through July 7, 2026!

  18. Yumi's Cells 3 Review: SOONROK = ENDGAME 😍

    Show notes

    The cells are in the HOUSE! 🧠💕

    Christina FINALLY persuaded Maddie to watch Yumi's Cells 3, and Maddie is SO glad she did. As a HUGE fan of the Yumi's Cells series, Christina had been waiting years for this final installment—and to finally see Yumi's ENDGAME. 💖

    Now a successful writer, Yumi (Kim Go-eun) is living the life she always dreamed of. But when a new relationship enters her life, her cells are once again thrown into chaos. 🧠💕

    In this review, Christina & Maddie break down all eight episodes of Season 3, celebrate Yumi's incredible character growth, and absolutely SWOON over Soon-Rok. From laugh-out-loud cell moments to heartfelt romance, they loved every minute of this short but sweet final chapter.

    Never watched Yumi's Cells before? Neither had Maddie—and she still fell in love with Season 3. 😘

  19. Perfect Crown Review: The Modern Monarchy

    Show notes

    Elle and Christina are back (without Maddie once again 😂) to finish up their review of Perfect Crown! 👑

    Elle absolutely LOVED this drama... could it be her Drama of the Year? 🤩

    Christina, on the other hand, had... thoughts. 😅

    The ladies discuss episodes seven through twelve and are shocked that so many of the theories they predicted at the start of the drama actually happened by the end. 👀

    📅 Aired: 2026

    🎬 Episodes: 12

    📺 Streaming on: Hulu / Disney+

  20. Through Two: Shopaholic Louis

    Show notes

    This surprise is for ELLE!! 🎉🥳🎊🎈

    The next installment of the Throwback Series is Shopaholic Louis. Elle has been wanting Maddie & Christina to review this sweet (but chaotic) show for a while, and now it’s time!

    A spoiled chaebol heir loses his memory and ends up relying on a country girl to survive Seoul… and the result is pure chaotic comedy gold. 😂🛍️

    Shopaholic Louis is funny, dramatic, ridiculous, and unexpectedly heartwarming.

    📅 Aired: 2016

    🎬 Episodes: 16

    📺 Streaming on Viki
