Special Episode: Certified Idiotic Beauty Standards

During our Twice episode, we got into a side conversation about fatphobia and beauty standards prevalent in society and in idol culture and decided that it would be beneficial as its own small episode. It's an issue that deserves a lot more discussion, and we hadn't intended to dive into it when we started the episode so we don't go into as much as we should, but maybe this small start will lead to greater conversations.

Noonas 101: Where to Watch

Grab a drink, some snacks, and a pen and notebook because we are talking about all of the different places you can legally watch dramas. We go over our favorites, talk extensively about the pros and cons of some of the most used services, and hit you with a wall of knowledge. This is a long one, and might not be for our listeners who have been in the drama watching game for a while, but we wanted to help anyone who may have just started watching figure out what other services are right for them, and maybe you’ll find a new service to add to your list.

If you have any questions, let us know in the comments. Along with the time codes, we’ll have detailed links and graphics to go along with this podcast, so make sure you check out our blog post here: https://bit.ly/3r5oNER

*We pre-recorded this episode about a month ago, and since then there were some updates on some of the services we talked about (specifically TVING), but almost all of the main information is the same. We've also since then decided to do a livestream this Wednesday, the 14th at 8pm EST. Link to the stream will be given on Twitter, or you can subscribe to our channel. Don't worry if you miss this one, we'll be starting regular streams soon.

In honor of Im Siwan's return to civilian life, we watched the first episode of the kdrama Misaeng (also know as Incomplete Life). We also play a fun Madlibs game and talk about what we're watching and what shows we're looking forward to.

We only spoil the first episode of the show, and discuss a few slight things that happen in some of the later episodes, but it really isn't much and doesn't ruin anything. There is a small Touch Your Heart spoiler, and we did discuss the meaning behind the name Misaeng which is found out later in the series. Times for these spoilers are down in the time codes section.

No real topic, so we decided to talk generally about a number of things including what we are watching, more discussion on Romance is a Bonus Book and Touch Your Heart, upcoming things...and then it basically spirals from there.

There are some minor spoilers, so I added when we talk about them in the time codes. It really isn't anything big, so even if you haven't watched those things it won't ruin it for you.

Next week we'll be back to normal. Maybe.

We also watched the first episode of the very-much-not-holiday-themed drama special, White Christmas and discuss what we thought of it (no spoilers!).

Certified Spoilers: Where Stars Land

We just *had* to discuss the ending of Where Stars Land with you.

So many spoilers!

So much ranting!

We're not saying this is going to be a regular thing...but we might do more in the future.

Certified Royalty: Modern Monarchies

In this week's episode we discuss modern monarchies, including the Korean dramas My Princess, King 2 Hearts, and Goong as well as the Thai dramas U-Prince: Badly Politis and The Crown Princess. We also play a fun royal title game, and discuss the first four episodes of the crazy new drama The Last Empress.

Note: We try to be mostly spoiler free, but do branch out to talk about other shows in the discussions. As a rule, we limit our spoilers for older shows and make clear notes if it's a newer show.
