About this episode

The hosts discuss the first two episodes of the KDrama 'When the Camellia Blooms' in their Throwback Series.

Throwbacks back… ALRIGHT! – Backstreet Boys Maddie & Christina are back for another installment of the Throwback Series! This is a beloved segment at Ya Girl’s where the ladies watch a past drama that they haven’t seen before. This time they’re diving into When the Camellia Blooms . The drama follows a single mother named Dong-baek (Gong Hyo-jin, When the Stars Gossip & It’s Alright, This Is Love ) who runs a bar in a judgmental small town and a lovable police officer named Yong-sik (Kang Ha-neul, Squid Game 2 & Moon Lovers ) who falls head-over-heels for her. In this Through Two, the ladies dive right into the characters and discuss the first two episodes. The serial killer plot is strong in this one, so they aren’t quite sure how they’ll like it yet! 📅 Aired: 2019 🎬 Episodes: 20 📺 Where to watch: Netflix ….
