WE HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT MAN. I repeat. We have found the perfect. man. .....

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?!...

This review is sponsored by Kim Young-Dae's face .... Elle convinced Maddie to watch The Forbidden Marriage (purely for eye-candy reasons), but Maddie loved it for even more than that!!

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

The drama started out strong, but dwindled when it got closer to the ending.  In this review, Maddie & Christina talk IN DEPTH about this show and what went wrong.

In this ep...

Love Next Door officially ended and the ladies needed to talk about this show ASAP!  Love Next Door was a drama that had many unexpected turns and wasn’t the ‘romantic comedy’ that people were hoping for. What this drama did give the viewers was two love stories, Jung Hae-In’s puppy eyes, a family dynamic that was chaotic and warm, and the theme of how the impact of sharing your struggles with oth...
