Tandem Canon

Mia is a writer, giant music nerd, and one half of the co-op video game podcast, Tandem Canon. She has been a fan of K-pop and K-dramas for over a decade and was a former moderator and blogger of ''I Wish My Life Were An Asian Drama'' on Tumblr. When she's not awkwardly flirting with turians in Mass Effect or playing video games, Mia is usually writing, attending whatever concerts she can afford, and adding to her ever-expansive K-pop album collection.
