The Certified Noonas: Kdrama, Kpop, and More

This week we are talking about the kvariety show on Netflix, Twogether, starring Jasper Liu and Lee Seung Gi. We also tell our top dramas of the year so far.
This episode ran a bit long, so we split it up into two. Check back mid-week to hear a special episode on what we are watching!

We're back with the Genre Jar™! We pulled four genres from the jar, we put up a poll on twitter, you picked one, and sci-fi/fantasy won! Well, it was supposed to be a genre jar episode, but we may have spent most of it developing the greatest space opera of all time that will never be. We did end up getting to the topic at the end, promise.
No spoilers, but time codes and other things can be found on our blog post: https://bit.ly/2Zd67FS

This week we wanted to choose a movie that wasn't just an action or comedy movie and watched Anarchists From Colony, starring Lee Je Hoon. It's a bit timely right now, and a lot of the movie's elements definitely mirror some of what's going on. This episode also really shows how sporadic our recordings can be.

In light of everything going on, we took things a little loose this week and decided to focus on some music news from the past month. Honestly, we all need the break.

Note: We don't want to take away from what is going on right now, and this episode's intention is for those that need to take a break. That being said, these are hard times right now and everyone should be doing whatever they can to help. Not everyone can do everything, but everyone can do something.

Mystic Pop-Up Bar is out on Netflix and of course we had to check it out and tell you all about it! We also talk about what we've been watching and try to come up with a new word for those small binges we sometimes like to do. Bingelet? Drama sprint?
Note: There are spoilers for the first two episodes of the drama in this, and we do go into a conversation that deals with sexual assault as it pertains to one of the episodes.
For more information, lists of all the names of dramas we watched, and time codes can be found over at the blog post.
