AYOOOOO, ANOTHER LEE JAEWOOK SHOW!!!!!
(or, as elle would say, another HONG MINGI SHOW)
…..
Elle and Maddie chat the first two eps of Doctor on the Edge. They talk the (minimal, but gross) medical scenes, Lee Jaewook’s charm, and Elle’s predicted second-male-lead syndrome. They love a good quirky small town feel, so they’re hoping this drama stays as good as it’s been so far!
…..
Doctor on the Edge is a currently-airing kdrama on Disney + / Hulu this summer. It stars Lee Jaewook as a plastic surgeon, forced to serve his mandatory military service as a doctor on a remote island, and Shin Ye-Eun as a nurse at the same hospital. Check it out on Mondays and Tuesdays through July 7, 2026!

The cells are in the HOUSE! 🧠💕

Christina FINALLY persuaded Maddie to watch Yumi's Cells 3, and Maddie is SO glad she did. As a HUGE fan of the Yumi's Cells series, Christina had been waiting years for this final installment—and to finally see Yumi's ENDGAME. 💖

Now a successful writer, Yumi (Kim Go-eun) is living the life she always dreamed of. But when a new relationship enters her life, her cells are once again thrown into chaos. 🧠💕

In this review, Christina & Maddie break down all eight episodes of Season 3, celebrate Yumi's incredible character growth, and absolutely SWOON over Soon-Rok. From laugh-out-loud cell moments to heartfelt romance, they loved every minute of this short but sweet final chapter.

Never watched Yumi's Cells before? Neither had Maddie—and she still fell in love with Season 3. 😘

Elle and Christina are back (without Maddie once again 😂) to finish up their review of Perfect Crown! 👑

Elle absolutely LOVED this drama... could it be her Drama of the Year? 🤩

Christina, on the other hand, had... thoughts. 😅

The ladies discuss episodes seven through twelve and are shocked that so many of the theories they predicted at the start of the drama actually happened by the end. 👀

📅 Aired: 2026
🎬 Episodes: 12
📺 Streaming on: Hulu / Disney+

This surprise is for ELLE!! 🎉🥳🎊🎈

The next installment of the Throwback Series is Shopaholic Louis. Elle has been wanting Maddie & Christina to review this sweet (but chaotic) show for a while, and now it’s time!

A spoiled chaebol heir loses his memory and ends up relying on a country girl to survive Seoul… and the result is pure chaotic comedy gold. 😂🛍️

Shopaholic Louis is funny, dramatic, ridiculous, and unexpectedly heartwarming.

📅 Aired: 2016
🎬 Episodes: 16
📺 Streaming on Viki
