Not clickbait, sorry 🥲 The most buzz worthy show with the highest ratings ever from tvN is over… FINALLY. How did everything go wrong for a drama with a stellar cast, excellent PDs, and a writer famous for her iconic works? Short answer: bad writing is bad writing, and not even the best leads could save this.

Dramabuds is back to talk about her (very) unproductive Kdrama year so far + the third season of TRANSIT LOVE/EXCHANGE, the Korean dating show that’s been driving her crazy for months. How did the new PD team switch things up, and does Season 3 live up to the iconic Season 2 cast and stories? 🍿
