Lola Pops Off about KDramas

Today's episode is the first Ramblings & Musings episode of season 6 of the podcast! I thought it would be a good start to the season so I can get you all up to speed with where I currently am with Kdramas already in 2026! As with most of my Ramblings & Musings, I discuss dramas I've recently finished, those currently in progress, and upcoming releases for February. However, please know that these Ramblings & Musings episodes won't be the star of the season, but instead my new podcast series: "Late to the Party."
This theme is my commitment to finally watching and discussing those Kdramas that have been recommended by listeners over time but that I haven't yet seen. This season, I am determined to finally explore those gems that you all hold near and dear.
So, listen to this episode to start the year with me and to get an idea of what's to come for Lola Pops off about Kdramas Podcast!

Today's episode, I'm back with a new Ramblings & Musings for you! I've been away a little while, but I'm back with a full episode.
For this one, I created a mantra that you should know before going in to listen--the mantra is: "You win some. You lose some." Now with that in mind, you might know how these ramblings and musings about these dramas may sound.
Listen now to hear what I had to say about some of our currently airing dramas and some dramas I introduced you to in the last ramblings and musings episode. Then after you finish listening, please share with me your thoughts on any or all the dramas I discussed! I think we have a lot to talk about!

Today's episode is a new Ramblings and Musings! In this one, we do a light run through all the dramas I've recently finished, I'm currently watching, and the ones I'm hoping to watch. There's even a short discussion at the end of the episode on a drama that I also recently dropped.
So, if you want to find out where I've been in Kdramaland, please join me on this new episode.
Could you let me know your thoughts on any of the dramas I talked about and fill me in on what you're watching as well?
