We're all still transitioning to 2021 and I do believe that all of us are hoping for a better year. Let's all hope for the best while focusing on the things we can control. As for me, right now, the only thing within my control is what content I put out on this podcast and so here we go with a new K-drama that is still airing as of date. Hopefully you've seen it already, but if not, don't worry. There are no spoilers in this episode.
The K-drama is none other than Mr. Queen ;)
