Trope Study: Forced Proximity

We discuss the delicious, tried-and-true trope of forced proximity and which Kdramas do it best, from office projects gone wrong (or right) to only one bed. We also make another plea for a bodyguard and idol romance. We mention lots of books and Kdramas so tune in!Kpop Rec of the Week:Social Path by Stray KidsBooks mentioned:The Alien's Escape by Ella MavenSnowbound at Winter: Hot Winter's Night by Lia RileyBest Worst Mistake by Lia RileyShow Me Wonders by Riley Nash (this is the train romance Megan couldn't remember the  name of)The Hating Game by Sally ThorneOn The Island by Tracey Garvis GravesSign Up for Our Newsletter!Want our thoughts on why everyone should watch I'm Not a Robot in a 500-word essay?
