AfterNoona Delight Podcast

Friday Watch Share

I’m in a weird place where this week I just could not mentally commit to starting a drama which is rare for me. I think it’s writing deadlines, mixed with holidays, mixed with post BTS enlistment blues.

So I haven’t started one yet but I am itching too! However, that doesn’t mean I’m not FULLY caught up on Singles Inferno 3 and what I regard as the best season to date. I’m really loving men being held accountable and I have a def favorite Lee Jin-seok is my overall pick eve...

Patreon question

From a listener…

I have been listening to 2pac's Keep Ya Head Up on repeat and was wondering which kdrama would be the equivalent of that (I'm in a bit of a slump). Anyway, I thought it might be a fun Patreon question - what's your earworm and what's its kdrama counterpart ?

Podcast Shout Outttt

Ya’ll I got author copies of Mister Hockey (shameless plug this 2017 book re-releases in print and audio on January 2, 2024.) But I feel sort of like a genius because I decided to give the podcast a shout out and bro—look at the placement!

I told Amy and Megan this was the most exciting part!! And I’m dead ass serious.

And I started writing books again BECAUSE of kdramas and this entire community that loves to talk about stories so much I had to do it again.

So serio...

Hey it’s Friday and oh god the days are going so fast right now and also oddly slow. I smashed out Singles Inferno and have been writing a lot but I’m treating myself with a drama tonight. I’m debating the new Im Siwon but I’ll let fancy take me.

What you are watching?

Singles Inferno 3

Who is ready to ride? 🙌

Sagittarius Season

I'm not going to dwell on BTS enlistment here today. I've been a wallowing Eyore for the last week. I came on to post something fun and realized there seems to be a LOT of birthdays lately. I'm not sure if the Patreon has a statistically significant number of sagittarius folks--or it's just some observational bias (I'm married to a number loving PhD in case that isn't obvious. Fun fact: I'll be like I want to get some echinacea I feel a cold coming. And he is like cite me the peer-reviewed pa...

What’s everyone watching?

I just finished Bed Friend and — I really did not expect to be hit in all my feels there. I have two episodes of a Time Called You left. The flu hit my middle child hard so I ended up missing the pod on that but it’s in Amy’s top 5 ya’ll.

The final four members of BTS enlist in next 48 hours so lll be just being a mess with that and then decide what my comfort watch will be once I’m a tiny little husk.

What are you all watching?

-...

All I Want For (insert preferred holiday here) is…

With BTS’s final enlistment breathing down my neck, my husband gone and leaving our dog to my dubious care, writing and work deadlines, and hardcore kid flu hitting my house I want to talk about anything fun and not related to fevers, committed meetings, or plot points lol.

So it’s a gift season for many. I vote fake shopping therapy. What is one item that you’d love to receive from a Kdrama? No price limit. Big or tiny.

Bonus if you say who is giving it to you! ...

AfterNoona Delight Merch!

After much designing and sampling, we finally have our merch shop up and running just in time for the holidays! We have T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, pins, and more. We hope to add more in the future -- if there is something you really want, let us know! We are pretty proud of what we came up with, so we hope you like it! Now go get yourself a big comfy hoodie. :)

It Holds

What is a drama(s) that you really enjoyed at the time but it’s only grown in your estimation since watching?

Happy almost weekend to all those who celebrate.

What are you watching? I finished My Dearest and l’m saving my energy and feelings for the upcoming pod. I watched My Happy Marriage movie last night but now want to see the anime over winter.

I am really really really watching A Time Called You. I haven’t wanted to because honestly? I have been having a lot of mental work lately and I haven’t wanted to be confused. Just entertain me! But I have promised Amy as this is in her ...

I’m watching My Dearest and it’s my entire life and I don’t know how I lived before this hero. I am slithering around the internet to avoid spoilers.

What are you watching?

You had me at hello…

No spoilers (this is an order) but Megan and I are obsessed with My Dearest. She is on 8 and I’m on 11.

At this point I can say it’s in my top five even if the last 10 episodes are just them juggling and water coloring. I’m all in.

What is a drama that had you by the throat from go?
