S2 E29 / Shannon, children’s librarian and podcaster (Bonchon Bite Sized K-drama Reviews) joins me to talk about the Kdrama classic, Just Between Lovers, a drama we both absolutely loved despite its heavy topics of trauma and guilt.

❤️‍🩹 We explore what makes this drama so special: nuanced characters, found family galore, standout music, unconventional story choices, scruffy-handsome Lee Junho, and our takes on that ending.

✋ After a short non-spoiler section, we dive into Just Between Lovers, talking about anything and everything!
