Today's episode is the first Ramblings & Musings episode of season 6 of the podcast! I thought it would be a good start to the season so I can get you all up to speed with where I currently am with Kdramas already in 2026! As with most of my Ramblings & Musings, I discuss dramas I've recently finished, those currently in progress, and upcoming releases for February. However, please know that these Ramblings & Musings episodes won't be the star of the season, but instead my new podcast series: "Late to the Party."

This theme is my commitment to finally watching and discussing those Kdramas that have been recommended by listeners over time but that I haven't yet seen. This season, I am determined to finally explore those gems that you all hold near and dear.

So, listen to this episode to start the year with me and to get an idea of what's to come for Lola Pops off about Kdramas Podcast!

Today's episode is the first episode of 2026 and of Season 6 of Lola Pops off about Kdramas Podcast! In this episode, I give you a tier list for the 2025 Kdramas and let you in on my final thoughts on the dramas I watched last year.

Then to conclude the first episode of the season, I let you all in on what this season’s theme will be! So, listen now to find out how I’ll need your help more than ever this year!
