After a short break from my Throwing it Back episodes, we return with another classic, 2003's Summer Scent. It's one of the four "Endless Love" dramas, albeit the least popular one, but for me it was the first that I watched from this Hallyu Wave-inciting drama series. So, it only seemed right to return to it for this season! As we know, in this season of the podcast, we're jumping around the past 20+ years of Kdramaland to find and rediscover what it is about these small screen...

Today's episode is our 3rd installment of throwing it back in this season and I am glad to present to you 2009's Shining Inheritance!

Today's episode is what I would call a September Ramblings & Musings! As much as I tried to keep this a lot shorter than it is, I obviously failed...so begging for your forgiveness for the lie I tell in the beginning of this episode!

Today's episode is my dearest My Dearest thoughts at this midpoint of the drama! As we're waiting for part two, I wanted to take a minute to talk through how I'm feeling and to lay out some of my confusions about part one and my expectations about part two. I also meant for this episode to be a lot shorter than it is; however, I let myself get carried away as I realized I had quite a few thoughts about only the first half of this drama.

Today's episode is the first episode back after my month-long vacation away from podcasting!!
