88. CDRAMA REVIEW: Stealth Walker (2021) & Under the Skin Season 1 (2022)
On Episode 88 of the NoSleep4Dramas Podcast, we have a double header for Chinese Drama reviews for you this week. I could not choose which Chinese Drama to review so, I decided to review both of the crime Chinese Dramas in this episode. In today's episode, Caitlin reviews the Chinese Crime dramas Stealth Walker and Under the Skin Season 1. Caitlin reviews Stealth Walker first in the episode and then moves on to Under the Skin Season 1. Per usual, the first part of the reviews, Caitlin goes over the cast, says a short synopsis of the drama and gives a non-spoiler first impressions/review of the drama. These reviews don't have spoilers in them so, you can listen to the episode all the way through. Both the Stealth Walker and Under the Skin Season 1 are on the blog as well. I pulled these reviews from my blogposts that I wrote back in 2021/2022 and recorded the reviews for this episode. The blogposts can be a companion to this episode and also an outline to what is mentioned in this review. Stealth Walker can be watched on VIKI and I think Youku.Under the Skin Season 1 can be watched on VIKI and IQIYI.NoSleep4Dramas Socials:-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nosleep4dramas/-BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/nosleep4dramas.bsky.social-Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosleep4dramas-Discord: https://discord.gg/qvsc8DfBcQ-Blog: https://www.nosleep4dramas.com/-Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NoSleep4DramasPodcast

87. WHY I LIKE ASIAN DRAMAS
In Episode 87 of the NoSleep4Dramas Podcast, Caitlin gets a little more personal. Caitlin realized she has not been personal in a podcast episode in a long time so, figured this week's episode was as good as any. Caitlin reintroduces herself and the podcast. She did this in Episode 1 of the podcast but feels like there are more people who are now listening to the podcast, so it needed to be done again. Caitlin then goes on to give a little history on how the podcast came to be just like she did in episode 1. LASTLY, Caitlin gets into the reasons on Why She likes Asian Dramas. When Caitlin first started the blog for NoSleep4Dramas, she wrote blogposts for all of the asian coutnries and their dramas and listed out reasons why she watched dramas from all those countries. In this episode, Caitlin looks at all of those reasons and goes country by country, talking about those reasons. Caitlin also talks about some of her favorite dramas from all of the Asian Countries that are mentioned.All of the reasons are written out as blog posts so, you can follow along with the reasons on the blog.

84. TOP NON-KOREAN DRAMAS (AND OTHER THINGS) FROM THE FIRST HALF OF 2025
SPOILER - THIS IS A WEIRD LIST BECAUSE 2025 IS A WEIRD DRAMA WATCHING YEAR FOR CAITLIN.In Episode 84 of the NoSleep4Dramas Podcast, Caitlin discusses her favorite Non-Korean Dramas (and anime/variety shows) she watched in the first half of 2025. This is something Caitlin has done on the blog every year since she started the blog and this always happens in July. She did it for the first time on the podcast last year and is continuing the tradition now. Caitlin went back and looked at all of the Non-Korean Dramas (and other things) she completed in the first 6 months of 2025 and picked out her favorites to talk about in this episode. The rules of this list are the Non-Korean Dramas and other shows are not ranked and are in no particular order. The dramas and shows had to be completed in the first half of 2025 but did not have to premiere/and air in 2025. So, she could have watched an older drama and it could be on this list. The List of the Top KDramas from the first half of 2025 was published a couple of weeks ago on the blog and as a podcast episode so, you can check that out now.The podcast episode and/or the blogpost can be a companion for each other.
