My 2025 C-Drama Highlight Reel - Listener Edition (Ep 156)

Author: Tea And Soju Podcast December 24, 2025 Duration: 1:13:02

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.
