As always in a MY WATCHLIST episode, Caitlin discusses all of the dramas (and other things) that are on her current watchlist. If it is on Caitlin's Current watchlist, she discusses it in this episode. Caitlin also mentions some of the dramas she is planning to start very soon over the next couple of months. It is now September and Caitlin is STILL watching a TON of things. She has SO MANY dramas and anime to talk about in today's episode.

AUGUST was a FANTASTIC month for Caitlin and completing things. Did she clean out her current watchlist? No but she did complete more in the month of August than she has done in any month in 2025 so far. So, she is happy with that even if everything she completed was not good. You win some and lose some. As per usual in a Wrap Up episode, Caitlin talks about everything she completed in August and then discusses everything she is excited for that is coming out in September. If you are new to the WRAP-UP series on the NoSleep4Dramas podcast - this is the episode where Caitlin discusses what dramas she completed in the previous month aka August 2025. She gives her thoughts and opinions and ratings on these completed dramas in the first half of the episode. In the second half of the episode, Caitlin discusses the upcoming month. September is going to be an interesting month of what Caitlin will complete and like because she needs to watch some things for the podcast, is excited for a bunch of things but also wants to continue clearing out her watchlist.

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

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. There are also Podcast episodes/Blogposts for Caitlin's all-time favorite dramas from all these countries you can go and listen to/read right now as well.Shout out to the following Podcasts that are mentioned in this episode:Tea & Soju - A Cdrama Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/26MG5cR9if00QcJrZgTNmq?si=d70c6371044b4dd1Daebak K-Rambles Podcast: Kdrama Reviews: https://open.spotify.com/show/2hj4n0zjcFbwkVphXO4f9x?si=a2de94744e35473dThe Swoon Diaries Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/10gYRYUNptaEkQuhzssOKX?si=4699427f8b9c4addKdrama Musings: https://open.spotify.com/show/66lVa8eqY1QKR00ZNrIaCh?si=c89a64e343c14c75How I Met My Kdrama: https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYcCT1EQR4OyZBR5cNcvl?si=095ad9efe8504cbcNoSleep4Dramas 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
