Tea And Soju - A C-drama Podcast

Everyone has at least one C-drama opinion that gets people talking...

In this episode, we're reacting to your hottest C-drama takes—from drama rankings and favourite actors to romance tropes, overrated shows, and everything in between. Some opinions we agreed with, others left us completely speechless!
A huge thank you to everyone who shared a hot take, and a special shoutout to Viv, who gathered hot takes through her TikTok video.

Remember: this episode is all in good fun. We all enjoy different dramas, and that's what makes the C-drama community so much fun to be part of.
So grab your tea, pour your soju, and join the conversation!

Whether you're completely new to C-dramas or you've only watched modern series and want to branch out, we've got plenty of recommendations to help you find your next binge.

The Drama Trio is back, and this time we're putting your drama picks to the test!

We asked listeners to send in the Cdramas they wanted us to judge, and in this episode we're deciding whether each one is...
☕ Overrated🍵 Underrated✨ Appropriately Rated
From fan favourites to hidden gems (and maybe a few controversial opinions!), we're sharing our honest thoughts, debating each other's takes, and seeing whether we can agree... or completely disagree.

Did your favourite drama make the list? And more importantly, do you agree with our verdicts?

Grab your tea, pour your soju, and join the conversation!
