Hear Me Out!? Cdrama Edition (Ep. 181)

Hear Me Out!? Cdrama Edition (Ep. 181)

Author: Tea And Soju Podcast June 17, 2026 Duration: 1:39:28

What happens when four Cdrama fans are given the chance to defend their most questionable favourites?

In this episode, Liliana is joined by Mona, Vivian, and Chi for a Cdrama version of the viral Hear Me Out trend. From controversial characters to questionable choices and unpopular opinions, everyone brings a selection that has the others asking one very important question:

"...but why?"

Expect plenty of debating, defending, judging, and attempts to justify some truly questionable picks along the way.

So grab your tea, pour your soju, and let us know:

Did we convince you, or are some of these Hear Me Outs beyond saving?
