    I feel like I used to occasionally agree with Jess's takes but for the past year the shows she's reviewing are the most violent blood thirsty or horror-tinged ones and I just can't go there.

  • Love it

    I enjoy Jess’s analysis and commentary on K-dramas— I usually tend to agree with her perspective or, if I disagree, I at least perceive where she is coming from. I feel like she is very thoughtful, considerate, and fun, loving when it comes to this podcast. it’s one of the main drama podcasts I regularly listen to.
