Faith is doing something a bit different this time. Instead of the usual representation discussion, she has decided to do a good old-fashioned in-depth drama review on Netflix's live-action Yu Yu Hakusho (2023) series. Join her and Red as they tell you the good, the bad, and the meh.

Here I (Faith) try out a new unscripted review format. Hear my non-spoiler reviews of my current favorite j-dramas and my ratings for their representation. It's short and sweet so I hope you enjoy it!

It's a new year and Wathanya and Faith are back with a new podcast episode. Thanks to all of you who suggested it. We hope you enjoy our discussion about the representation in the Korean drama Her Private Life.
