Sweet & Power Episode 2 Now Available

The second episode of Sweet & Power is now available on Youtube. Sweet & Power is a ground-breaking fictional web series featuring an all Asian American female cast. Written and directed by Carolyn Yuen Marino of the style blog Hey Pretty Thing, Sweet & Power offers unique insight into the challenging and often comical everyday moments of four millennial women.

“I created Sweet & Power because I wanted to watch a show like this on Netflix,” explains Carolyn, “I believe that if you don’t see the representation you want out in the world, it’s up to you to get out there and create it.”

The series is written from the perspective of the protagonist Cici Yuen, played by creator Yuen Marino. The show features multiple on-going storylines and follows Cici and her three best friends, Yoona Kang, played by Yeji Kim Sakoda, Robin Chan, played by Becca Cheung, and Noy Inchareon, played by NoyNoy Inthaphanya. The first season follows the cast as they navigate the highs and lows of careers, relationships, sexuality, and cultural identity. The show is funny, relatable, and most importantly, it sparks much needed dialogue about diversity and cultural identity.

The first episode made its debut on September 17th and new 10-minute episodes will be released each month through January 2019. Subscribe and watch the first two episodes of the series on the Sweet & Power Youtube channel by clicking here.
