2023-11-19 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostLook at me posting bright and early after leaving it so late last week. Don’t tell Amy (I have to watch A Time Called You STAT) but I’m starting My Dearest. Also, excellent Twinkling Watermelon sales from some of you. I need to hunker in for some drama blessings this wet weekend!
Also I shared some fun writing news today (new books out in 2025 and 2026) and I want to truly express gratitude to all of you for helping me get excited to write again under my romance pen name. I always ...
2023-11-17 16:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostNothing like uploading this at the last minute! And for a bonus this week... we have a video too! We talk about upcoming dramas we're excited about: Welcome to Samdalri, The Story of Park's Marriage Contract, Gyeongsang Creature, My Demon, and.... Season Three of Singles Inferno!
Which one are you most excited for? Comment about any dramas we didn't cover!
2023-11-16 04:30:33 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s podcast night so I know Amy and Megan are looking forward to what questionable dinner I’m bringing to recording. What are random meals you have been known to eat that might get a side eye?
My go-to this season is pre-made Turkey gravy. Add to whatever. It’s a meal. Lol.
2023-11-15 18:39:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everyone! We're recording November's Uncensored episode on Wednesday. Ask us all your burning questions you'd like us to answer on the pod. Drop us a This-or-That/Would You Rather or a Marry, Mate, Murder! Try to sell us on a drama with a unique pitch to each Noona based on what you know of our likes/dislikes/biases.
As always, we thank you in advance for your consistently fun, funny, and thoughtful questions, and we will try to get to as many of them on the show as we can!
Happy, Happy Birthday, ERIN! We hope you have the best day!

2023-11-09 15:19:11 +0000 UTC View PostWe are going to be talking about B-stories or subplots. What’s one you really like? Or didn’t? Unburden yourself and we might share on the pod!

This week has been very tough w/ work so I'm going to be jumping back into True Beauty which I'm really wanting to finish. Cha Eun Woo is a baby (for me) but I really like him. After that I SWEAR I WILL WATCH A TIME CALLED YOU for the pod and then I'm a free-agent. What are you watching?

2023-11-03 13:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostWhat is a small win you want to share this week. Very unremarkable. Still a win.
For me…I went to the dentist today and they were like uh, bro it’s been 2.5 years since you’ve come.
I thought it had been almost a year.
So there we are.
And I answered yes to their question if I floss and I could tell they were like “sure, Jan, we can’t wait to see what hellscape awaits.”
And guess what? They were visibly surprised and said I did flo...
2023-11-02 15:44:58 +0000 UTC View PostWhat is bringing joy to your eyeballs this week? I’m currently watching True Beauty and have to decide what from to-be-watched tower is on deck after. I’m sorry that I dragged my feet watching this one. It’s classic young adult fluffy goodness—with some truly dark undertones. I’ll prob pod on this soon.
Hit me with your best watch … or not. Just a watch will do.

2023-10-26 17:56:46 +0000 UTC View PostI (Lia) finished Doona on plane home this Sunday. I can’t stop thinking about it. I have seen meh reviews and I’m strongly opposed to that take. So here is the deal…you are allowed to tell me it’s meh to you but I’ll forcefully argue my point lol. Also I want to hear from anyone who loved this like I did!

2023-10-18 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostHeyyyyyy so I’m on my pre-trip taking the train from Central CA to LA. I’ve always wanted to do this leg and not sorry. I have True Beauty and a Time Called You Loaded on my phone. I’m also finishing Personal Weatherman tonight and likely rewatching the entire thing when I finish.
I leave for Seoul on Sunday. I rarely feel physical excitement when something cool is about to happen. I tend to be more cerebral. I was NOT when I got Suga D-Day tickets. I fell on sidewalk and cried in...

What are your classic KDramas from 2005 - 2013?
I've watched Coffee Prince (loved, in my top 3) and Secret Garden but I know there's others as good. What have you watched and recommend from 10-15 years ago.
2023-10-12 15:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostFrom Sarah at Afternoona Asks:
Would anyone like an Afternoona Asks Japanese language and culture podcast? Confession neither of us have watched much JDramas but know many of our fellow Patreon have. Do you guys have questions you wanna ask? If so we will line it up… feel free to add yours below!
We will be doing a Chinese language and culture one soon!

“Curious to know if anyone has a drama they wish they would’ve watched in the early stages of your Kdrama journey but now that you’ve seen so many and may know more you just can’t bring yourself to watch? For me it’s dramas like Boys over Flowers and Uncontrollably Fond and while I finished Healer I think I would’ve liked it a lot more if it had been one of the first dramas I watched”

This is a movie on Netflix. Has anyone watched it yet? Is it wacky like Mask Girl or more straight revenge like My Name? I want to watch, but I don't know if I'm in the mood for the violence since I'm already hooked with The Worst of Evil. Thoughts??
