Many listeners have asked for a review to this entertaining show so Maddie & Christina decided to jump on the mic (LIVE FROM ARGAN). SA-EON'S ARMS IN THAT BLACK SHIRT THOUGH.

The ladies discuss the characters, plot, and all the random questions they had about the show. They found that a lot of the show had them HOOKED but was very confused by the ending of this drama. How do you classify the genre of this show when the female lead continuously is getting kidnapped? Asking for a friend.

Moral of the Story: Don't pick up the phone.

When The Phone Rings is a 12-episode on Netflix.

Christina & Elle are back for a full review on Love Your Enemy! There were cute moments about the show and the ladies REALLY LOVED the high school storyline. The present storyline? Not so much.

In this review, Christina & Elle gush about the second male lead, the high school couple and the 10CM song. (If you haven’t listened to it, go listen - IT’S GOOD!). On paper, this show sounds wonderful! Enemies to lovers? Sign us all up! The ladies also talk about how the show missed the mark on the adult Ji-Wons and what they would have liked to see instead of all the random storylines towards the end of the drama.

Love Your Enemy is a 12-episode drama on Netflix.

Tell us your thoughts about the drama! Did you love it? Did you like it? Did you drop it?

Christina and Elle are late to the party, but they just watched two episodes of Love Your Enemy! They like it and feel like it is a great drama to watch right now because it is a light romantic comedy (from what they got from the first two episodes).

Love Your Enemy is about two Ji-Wons whose families are rivals (Romeo and Juliet vibes-ish) and end up falling in love. What more can you ask for?! Christina & Elle talk about how they love the high school storyline and look forward to how this story unfolds.

Please tell us your thoughts about this drama so far!

Love Your Enemy is a currently airing drama on Viki and it will be a total of 12 episodes. Come watch it with us!

Elle convinced Maddie to watch The Forbidden Marriage (purely for eye-candy reasons), but Maddie loved it for even more than that!! This drama is fun mix of genres and likeable characters, and a totally worthy binge.

....

If you love historical dramas, and are looking for a watch that won't change your life, The Forbidden Marriage is your next show!!

Family By Choice has ended and EVERY SINGLE PERSON is sad about it (not to be dramatic…). This show focused on the importance of found family and how vital it is to have people in your life that will be there for you no matter what.

In this review, Maddie & Christina go in detail discussing the second half of the show. They talk about the changes that happened 10 years later, they dissect San Ha and Ju Won’s relationship and how they feel about Hae-Joon & Dal. These characters are so lovable and you feel like you are apart of this family while watching.

This is a PERFECT gateway show for anyone starting kdramas! It has a little bit of everything and leaves your heart smiling.

Family By Choice is a 16-episode drama available on Viki. It is based on the Chinese Drama Go Ahead.
