The stylist/costume director NEEDS. A. RAISE. 👏 Every single outfit was top tier — especially Chief Hong and his many green ensembles (we noticed 👀💚).Elle & Christina reviewed Can This Love Be Translated? and as HUGE Kim Sun-ho fans… they were THRILLED that all 12 episodes dropped at once. 🍿✨This highly anticipated drama stars Go Youn-jung(Alchemy of Souls, Resident Playbook) as a glamorous actress and Kim Sun-ho (Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Start-Up) as an interpreter. Their careers take them to beautiful corners of the world 🌎 while they slowly get to know each other… and let’s just say, their dynamic is layered.This drama really leans into how complicated love can be when you don’t communicate your feelings — when you’re technically speaking the same language, but emotionally… you’re not. 💔All in all: everyone speaks a different language.🎬 12 episodes📍Streaming on Netflix….If you're new to YA GIRL, we're so glad you're here!!

BON APPETIT, LEE CHAE-MIN….A lot can be said about this drama. It held its own on the U.S. Netflix Top 10. It consisted of MANY different genres. It had a (conveniently wrapped up) happy ending. But, at the end of the day, all that we need to say is: Lee Chae-min is hot. …..LIKE, REALLY HOT…..Did he and Yoona have good chemistry? What did we think about the 3-episode-long Ming County Cooking Showdown? Why was Elle’s favorite character the dude that invented the airplane? The girls talk it all on this full review episode!…..We hope you enjoy this pod review even more than the King enjoys Yoona’s food!!!

Maddie & Christina are here to review Our Unwritten Seoul! Maddie FINALLY decided to watch this amazing drama, and Christina couldn’t be more thrilled. This drama is definitely “Christina-coded” and could be her drama of the year. WHAT?!Our Unwritten Seoul is about two twins, Mi-Ji & Mi-Jae (Park Bo-young – Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, Daily Dose of Sunshine), who are complete opposites. Mi-Jae works a finance job in Seoul, while Mi-Ji continues to live in their farming hometown, helping her family and doing a myriad of jobs. Both women are in a rut and need time apart from their current situations, so they end up switching places temporarily.In this review, the ladies talk about how beautiful the writing is, how amazing the women characters are, and how the two male leads (Jinyoung – GOT7, Yumi’s Cells & Ryu Kyung-soo – Itaewon Class) are some of the BIGGEST GREEN FLAGS in the history of green flags. This drama pulls at your heartstrings and teaches you that everyone needs help through life — and that it’s never too late to start again.“Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is yet to come. Today is yet unknown. Let’s go!” - Yu Mi-Ji ❤️Our Unwritten Seoul is a 12 episode drama available on Netflix......If you're new to YA GIRL, we're so glad you're here!!

Elle and Christina are back again for a midway review of She Was Pretty! So much has happened in the past six episodes!!Hye-Jin and Seong-Joon are really getting to know each other during these episodes, and the girls are SWOONING HARD. They loved the trip trope scenes (is it one of Christina’s favorite trip tropes now?!?!) and absolutely love seeing Seong-Joon fall hard for Hye-Jin—without even realizing it.Hye-Jin’s bestie, Ha-Ri, is really getting on the girls’ nerves because she keeps lying to her. And… the second male lead? Elle and Christina still find him annoying (only time will tell)!Check out the She Was Pretty "Through Two" episode before tuning into this midway review! :)She Was Pretty came out in 2015 and is a 16-episode drama available on Viki.…..If you're new to YA GIRL, we're so glad you're here!!

It’s time for the next Throwback Drama! Elle and Christina are doing She Was Pretty with Hwang Jung-Eum and Park Seo Joon as the leads!She Was Pretty is a romantic comedy K-drama that tells the story of childhood sweethearts who reunite as adults – but with a twist. As kids, Kim Hye-Jin (Hwang Jung-Eum) was a confident, sweet girl, and Ji Sung-Joon (Park Seo Joon) was a shy boy who lacked confidence. As adults, Hye-Jin is insecure about her looks, and Sung-Joon has grown into a successful editor. Hye-Jin ends up working under Sung-Joon as her boss, and he doesn’t recognize her.In this Through Two, Elle and Christina go over the first two episodes. They discuss the leads and what they predict will happen as the show goes on. One thing’s for sure: they aren’t super thrilled with Park Seo Joon’s character and how he treats the female lead (as of right now).She Was Pretty came out in 2015 and is a 16-episode drama available on Viki.…..If you're new to YA GIRL, we're so glad you're here!!

Hiiii um who knew Doyoung had such a hot brother??? ….Maddie and Elle are here to chat about Second Shot at Love, a 12 episode KDrama that just finished airing. This show was soooooo up Elle’s alley, and the girls loved seeing yet ANOTHER member of 5URPRISE grace their screens as the ML. (You’re still our fav, Kang Tae-oh, don’t worry.)….Second Shot at Love is a light-hearted KDrama that touches on some serious topics, mainly alcoholism. It has the fun townie-feel that many love about KDramas, and a heartwarming cast (and secondarily love story that Maddie was obsessed with!!)….The girls would totally recommend this one as a binge-worthy drama that you can dig into this summer!….Second Shot of Love is 12 episodes and can be found on Viki.If you're new to YA GIRL, we're so glad you're here!!
