Tea And Soju - A C-drama Podcast

This week on Tea and Soju, we’re settling in for a chat about the Chinese drama The Story of Pearl Girl, starring Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning — and our lovely guest Jess is joining us for the ride. While this drama might not be a favorite for us (and honestly, it might not work for everyone), we break down exactly why in the episode, from the story choices to the character moments that had us conflicted.

Expect cozy vibes, honest thoughts, and plenty of laughs as we unpack what Pearl Girl got right, what missed the mark, and whether it might still be the drama for you. Grab your drink of the day and settle in for a warm, candid review with Jess.

This week on Tea and Soju, the Drama Trio is settling in to roll the highlight reel on our year in dramas and podcasting in The Drama Trio’s 2025 Highlight Reel. We’re chatting about the shows that defined our watching year, the moments that surprised us most, and the dramas that stayed with us long after the final episode.

This week on Tea and Soju, it’s a cozy episode as I sit down to look back on my C-drama year in My 2025 C-drama Highlight Reel – Listener Edition. I’m chatting through all my favorite shows from 2025, including the dramas that fully earned a spot in my eras category and left a lasting impression long after the final episode.

To wrap things up, I’m sharing listener write-ins about your favorite Asian dramas of the year — the shows that made you laugh, cry, scream, and immediately hit “replay.” It’s reflective, heartfelt, and very much a love letter to another unforgettable year of C-dramas.
So grab your drink of the day, get comfy, and join me for a warm end-of-year chat celebrating the stories we loved in 2025.

We’re diving into the world of Mysterious Lotus Casebook! Joined by Caitlin from NoSleep4Dramas, we unpack the storytelling, emotional depth, and iconic bromance that make this Wuxia drama a standout. From Li Lianhua’s quiet strength to the show’s stunning fight choreography, we’ve got thoughts, theories, and an idea on why so many love this one.
Tune in for deep dives, fun banter, and maybe a few feels along the way.
