Look, celebrity gossip isn't really our thing, but this news... THIS NEWS???? Um, the best ever. ABH is showering happily, and Jisoo is likely getting lots of flowers. Let's celebrate this fantastic couple and wish them the best and much happiness. We got this news while recording tonight, and Lia made the funniest surprised sound that we thought choked (on sausage). Anyway, we're all happy for these two!

I realize we have never shared any bloopers, like when we start recording and it all goes to hell and it's required to delete large sections. So here is one from today's pod. It's when I realized my home internet was going to suck hard and recording was not going to be a fun event. Enjoy?

So we will soon be recording a pod on chaebols in Kdramas, because we clearly have Lee Junho from King the Land on our minds. Anyway, we want to hear from you and as always we may read some of these responses on the pod.
Do you like chaebol dramas? If you do, why? And who are your favorite and/or least favorite chaebol characters?
If you don't like chaebols dramas, let us know why!

Now it’s Friday but I’m not as excited because I stayed up until 2am finishing Rain or Shine. I need to ponder if I actually liked it because I am not sure lol. But Jun-ho? I’d take a bullet for that dude at this point. If we were in a war, I’d be like “sir, take cover, I got you.”
I am watching King The Land (I like it), Tokyo in April Is… (I am owned by it), Wedding Plan (I adorable it)…and I have to start See You In My Nineteenth Life even though I’m blocked about i...

I am ready to climb into my bed and do nothinggggggg but binge end of Rain or Shine. Instead I need to go be a productive member of society. I even ordered laundry hampers online today which is maybe the most boring thing I’ve ever done.
So let’s have fun…if you were to do karaoke with any K-drama character who would it be and what’s the song?

Hi everyone - it’s Sarah & Grace here. We’re planning a podcast: Afternoona Asks: What’s the most underrated drama?
And we’re posing you guys this question!
If you’re up for it, we’d love to have a clip of you selling us a drama that you think is underrated and the world needs to know about! It can be Korean, Chinese or any other Asian drama - we just ask that it’s readily available on the usual platforms.
Or if you’d rather we read out your Rec on you...

Continue at your own risk. Spoilers ahead for SEE YOU IN MY 19th LIFE....
First let's start with the basics...SURPRISE. It's Amy, NOT Megan. I tried staying up last night (after some wine and snacks with the girls) waiting for ep. 12 of SEE YOU IN MY 19th LIFE to drop. But alas, the wine won out, and I fell asleep. But the first thing I did this morning when I sat down with my coffee was cue up the final episode, and I just finished.

How do folks keep track of watching? Do you record the dramas you've watched? If so, spreadsheet? My Drama List, notebooks?
Also do you feel overwhelmed by weeklies and how to remember to watching episodes as they come out?

Because This Is My First Life, My Liberation Notes and Rain or Shine.
There are other dramas like this, but these three currently own my whole heart and I can’t believe I didn’t watch them sooner.
What are dramas that left you with this sort of feeling?
The new releases are always fun but there are always shows you mean to get to and don’t. But then eventually are like oh? Ohhhhhh. I LOVE this and I could have had this love sooner!

Two The Rose/2PM fans (Tania on the left, Susa on the right in attached picture) met in a sea of purple BTS ballons.
Tania and Susa went to the BTS X James Jean: Seven Phases_Exhibition in Germany (global tour) followed by a visit to a Korean Fried Chicken chain (with Goblin on a TV in the background lol) and Bingsu in a café. They said it was super fun talking for hours about their current favourites Hidden Love and Love Like The Galaxy and other favourite K- and CDramas!

I had an epic binge and went from episode 2 to episode 8 of King the Land in one night of madness. And I am catching up with new Tokyo in Spring. When we did our first episode podcast, Megan and Amy chose to go on with See You in 19th Life and I selected King the Land and the good news is that everyone is happy viewers.

Today I hurt my back carrying an 8 foot cat condo from the downstairs to the upstairs.
This is a sentence I never expected to write.
My cat is determined to be an outdoor cat and given the fact that a) I don’t want him to eat birds or lizards and b) we live surrounded by 100 coyotes that would love to eat him I’m constantly harshing his party.
It’s a lovely summer day here on the California coast, warm and sunny and no heat wave in sight. So I thought maybe if I move h...

So I'm up for the July Patreon snack. And it's not like I don't have unlimited things I can gab about (like Ahn Bo Hyun's on-screen showers, for example), but I'm having trouble deciding what you'd most like to hear about from me. So what should I chat about? Book/writing stuff? What I'm watching now? The difference between silly plots and bonkers plots and what I prefer? Let me know! --Megan the Maknae)
PS: How good does ABH look in this picture? Like OMG.
