This podcast episode is unique, y'all! Ever been given K-drama homework before being interviewed for a podcast? 😂. That's exactly what my gal pal from Asian Hustle Network did for our podcast episode! 🙌 I asked her to watch the K-drama 'Healer' with Park Min-young and Ji Chan-wook because I wanted her take as an Asian American adoptee on the adoptee portrayal in 'Healer.' Park Min-young's character is adopted.

Makayla has been on her own healing journey the last year unpacking her adoption trauma and re-writing her narrative. What's interesting is she's watched "Healer' before, but this time it was a completely new experience! Though she didn't mind watching again because of Ji Chan-wook. 🤣 🥰
