Drama Exchange: Deep-dive zone (October 2023)

Hi everyone!

Here's your Deep Dive zone for October!

Thanks to Trent for suggesting and implementing the new SPOILER convention, where you announce your spoiler in a first level comment, then write your actual spoiler (while still announcing it's a spoiler) in a reply to your first level comment.

This makes it much easier for folks to browse the Deep Dive, without necessarily having to scroll through walls of text that they're trying not to ...

I’m ok

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to say that the surgery was a success, and I’m feeling much better today than yesterday. I’m experiencing some lightheadedness and nausea which they say is likely due to the GA and morphine wearing off.

I’m sleeping a lot, mostly, coz that’s most comfortable. Haven’t eaten anything much today coz of the nausea. Will try again tomorrow.

And just for CICUKate, hot doc count so far: 5. I don’t know what it is, all the male docs I talke...

Announcement: Final check-in before I go!

Hi everyone,

I know most of you have seen the announcement post on the main blog, but I thought I'd do a final check-in here as well..

I managed to do a bit more work for Patreon today, so:

Episode notes: the episode notes will go till Tuesday, 10 October instead of Friday, 6 October. Yes, I managed to write up notes for both Moving and A Time Called You today, woot!

Entertainment drop: I've prepared this weekend's entertainment drop, ...

Early Access: Love is an Accident E1-4

E1-4. Surprise, everyone! The show that I'm picking to replace My Lovely Liar, here on Patreon, is this little c-drama.

I'd originally shortlisted The Kidnapping Day to replace My Lovely Liar, but because that's just started airing, there aren't enough episodes for me to work ahead on, the way I'd said I wanted to.

And so, I'm shortlisting The Kidnapping Day to maybe replace Moving (but also, maybe I'll replace Moving with The Worst of Evil, I'll have to see).

For now, this ...

Early Access: A Time Called You E1-2

E1-2. So even though this is just the beginning of my watch, I already feel like I've been on a rollercoaster, with this show.

Let me explain (partly because I just want to let you know where I'm coming from, and partly because I think it's important context that informs how I'm interacting with this show).

You guys know that I have big, deep love for Someday Or One Day, which is the source material for this show.

When this k-remake was first announced, I was pretty upset wi...
