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 masterpieces that make us love and appreciate them so much. It's also a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from these dramas and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them!
So, join me as I try to figure out if there is merit in watching this 2003 melo about a heart transplant patient falling in love with her donor's first love.

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 masterpieces that make us love and appreciate them so much. It's also a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from these dramas and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them!
So, join me for a splash into the past with this time-traveling short comedic good time called Splash Splash Love.

Next in our Throwing it Back w/Lola season is 2011's City Hunter! (And many of you guessed right it last week!) 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 masterpieces that make us love and appreciate them so much. It's also a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from these dramas and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them!
But with today's episode, I officially am discussing one of those pivotal Kdramas for me in my Kdrama journey. It's a drama that I unfortunately spend over two hours talking about in this episode because of this very fact. It's also a podcast episode about a drama that gives almost episode-by-episode spoilers...so proceed with caution! I do include time stamps if you want to listen to the production notes about the drama and/or just skip to the end where I give my favorite and least favorite things about this drama and any other general thoughts on it! But the bulk of this episode is a play-by-play of why I love this drama and it's a good episode for a drinking game! Drink every time I describe something as "so good!"
So, join me as I revisit one of my favorite Kdramas, City Hunter.
Production Notes:
(00:00-26:16)
Spoilers (Initial, Midpoint, Final Thoughts):
(26:17-2:28:35)
Favorite/Least Favorite Elements:

This episode is what’s been going on with me in Kdramaland and how the latest Kdramas have been treating me.

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! It was a longer commitment to throw it back to this 28-episode drama, but it's a family drama classic with all the theatrics and heart in the world! It was a hit during its time, so I wanted to revisit it to see if I think it deserved all that fame and glory! So, listen in now to find out if this one is one I believe still has some merit and was worth my time with this rewatch!

Today’s episode is my final episode of 2023 and season 3 of Lola Pops Off about Kdramas Podcast! To be honest, I had a little bit of difficulty finishing up this episode and even considered not sharing it in light of recent news. But I decided that I still wanted to share my year of Kdramas with you. This is also the third year of me hosting my very own Kdrama Awards and I wanted to stay true to this tradition of the podcast.
Not to mention, this episode is like another love song to the year of Kdramas and my time with you—so thank you all, yet again, for an amazing year with all the Kdramas we watched and popped off about together. I hope your year in Kdramas was a wonderful one and that you’re already looking forward to a new year in Kdramaland.
As always, please join me in this episode to learn about some of the highlights and disappointments of the year in Kdramas for me and make sure to watch along as you listen as this episode has a video companion over on Spotify. (Side note: I didn’t mention even half of the dramas I watched this year in this episode, but if you want a formal count let me know!)
Oh! One more thing, another reason to listen to this episode is to find out about what’s to come in season 4 of the podcast—there will be some changes for sure!!
And the print version of “My Poppin’ Kdrama Journal,” will be released soon, so keep your eyes peeled for the official drop in the new year!
The first episode of Season 4 will be released the week of January 15, so see you all then!!

Christmas came early again this year for me with the return of one of my favorite episodes I’ve ever done! This episode is truly a gift to me. So, thank you, thank you, thank you to Tiffany, Lee Song Wook, Beth, Sharon, Milica, Ariane, Squash & Yovita for allowing me to learn more about you and your time in Kdramaland! I can't wait to continue getting to know you all and look forward to getting to know more of you listening! Please check out this episode and show lots of love to our featured guests!Also, I had so much fun with this one and I hope you do too!!
Small edit:: For question, “Do you have a Kdrama ritual? How do you best enjoy watching your Kdramas?”
Yovita’s answer is: “Watching kdramas, and contemplating them through podcasts, OSTs, and fanfics.”
I mistakenly read Squash’s answer from last year! 🙈

Today's episode is an unexpected The Worst of Evil Final Thoughts! If you know, then you already know my thoughts on this much anticipated drama with the always magnificent Ji Chang Wook! But if you don’t know and would like to hear a little bit of rant and ramble then please do check it out now! It’s not the most coherent thing I’ve ever put out but I had to get some quick thoughts off my chest! (The first 3 minutes of this episode has something weird happening with the sound but after that it clears up completely! )

Today's episode is a What Went Down one for Disney+ hit drama, Moving! I was finally able to sit down and go through my thoughts on Moving, a drama I tried to dub top drama of the year for me after only 4 episodes in a Ramblings & Musings episode. So, tune in now to see if I allowed Moving to keep that honor or if there was something that changed my mind! Also, know this episode is mostly spoiler-free!
