During our latest livestream we discussed the first four episodes of Tomorrow as a follow up to our discussion on the first week of the drama which included some more revelations and thoughts about the drama as a whole and figured that some people might find it easier to catch up with it as an audio version, so here it is in all its (unedited) glory!
C/TW: The drama focuses on the topic of suicide, we briefly mention it a couple of times during the episode.
Make sure to follow us on YouTube for more videos and so you can catch our next livestream (we have several scheduled!): https://www.youtube.com/certifiednoonas
Editor's note: Jessie is fine, the storms passed pretty soon after ending our stream :)
