Tea And Soju - A C-drama Podcast

🍵 This week on Tea & Soju, Liliana is joined by special guest Angie to chat about the historical C-drama Against the Current! At its heart, this is a story about women navigating the challenges, expectations and restrictions placed upon them by the world around them. We're discussing the struggles they face, their journeys towards finding their own place, and the strength it takes to push back against the current. Of course, there's also a little romance along the way! ❤️ But with so much more to explore, we're looking at how the relationships, characters and wider themes come together to tell this story. What did we think of the drama's portrayal of women's struggles? How did we feel about the characters and their journeys? And did Against the Current manage to leave a lasting impression on us? Join us as we share our thoughts, opinions and takeaways in another Tea & Soju drama review! Make yourself a cuppa, get comfy, and come join the conversation! Liliana - Tea & Soju 🍵 Patreon — behind-the-scenes…

It's time to roll out the red carpet! 🏆✨ In this episode of Tea & Soju, the Drama Trio is building its very own Cdrama Actors Hall of Fame! Liliana, Jess and Caitlin are bringing their picks to the table and making the case for which Chinese actors deserve a place among the greats. But with three drama fans, plenty of opinions and only so much room in the Hall of Fame, who will make the cut? Who will get snubbed? And will we actually agree on anything? 👀 Expect passionate arguments, questionable decisions, plenty of actor appreciation and all the Cdrama fangirling you've come to expect from us. 🏆 Who would YOU induct into the Cdrama Actors Hall of Fame?

There are some things nobody tells you when you fall down the C-drama rabbit hole — like why you absolutely cannot trust a drama poster, when it's okay to give up on a 40-episode commitment, how to recognise the warning signs of impending emotional damage, and why a drama being “good” doesn't necessarily mean you're going to enjoy it. So this week, I'm sharing my C-drama survival guide: the things I wish someone had told me when I first started watching. From ratings to filler, political plots, and knowing when to just WALK AWAY… let's talk about everything I've learned after years of watching C-dramas. And because I know I'm not the only one who's learned some of these lessons the hard way — what would YOU add to the C-drama survival guide? 🍵 Come hang out with me and let's survive the C-drama rabbit hole together! 💕 ☕ Support Tea & Soju If you enjoyed this episode and would like access to behind-the-scenes chats, deleted clips, bonus reviews, replay recordings, and our monthly Zoom meet-ups, consider…

Halfway through 2026, it’s time to look back at all the C-dramas I’ve watched so far and, more importantly, the ones that have stolen my heart! 💕 In this episode, I’m sharing my favourite dramas of the year so far, the characters I’m still thinking about, the romances that had me invested, and the shows that have earned a permanent spot in my drama-loving heart. From Pursuit of Jade and Love Between Lines to Bloom Life and The First Jasmine, let’s talk about the dramas that have made 2026 such a fun year for watching C-dramas. And because this is Tea & Soju, expect plenty of opinions, questionable levels of attachment to fictional characters, and probably a few “I was NOT prepared for this” moments. 😂 🍵 What has been YOUR favourite C-drama of 2026 so far?

☕ Welcome back to Tea & Soju, your drama hangout for all things Cdrama! In this week's episode, I'm taking a step back and reflecting on how my Cdrama taste has evolved since I first started watching back in 2018. When I first discovered Cdramas, I was all about actors, romance, and modern dramas. Everything felt new and exciting, and I wasn't paying much attention to things like screenwriting, directing, pacing, or story structure. Fast forward a few years, and not only has my viewing taste evolved, but so has the way I watch dramas. From modern romances to political masterpieces like Nirvana in Fire, I'm chatting about how historical dramas won me over, why I now pay much more attention to writing and directing, how starting Tea & Soju changed my perspective as a viewer, and why I find myself gravitating towards very different dramas than I did when I first started. In this episode, we discuss: 🍵 How I first got into Cdramas in 2018 🍵 My early viewing habits and favourite types of dramas 🍵 The shift from…
