A Patreon request…
What is a K-drama you’d recommend a newbie who has never seen anything but wants to know what the fuss is about?

I heard someone saying the need to discuss the C-drama remake of Boys Over Flowers. Meteor Garden. Starring Dylan Wang. Featuring the internationally competitive sport of (checks notes) Bridge.
Let’s go for it!
2023-06-30 18:17:18 +0000 UTC View PostI’m opening up a couple optional chats where folks can discuss dramas (spoilers will be found here but please note in advance of making one)
This one is for Extraordinary You.

My spreadsheet has betrayed me...
I thought I was getting back on track, y'all, but somehow Kathi's June 23 birthday ended up mixed in with my July bdays. Face palm. Face palm. Face palm.
Bright side? An Afternoona Delight bday shout out a week late means you're birthday ain't over until I say it is, and Kathi, it's STILL YOUR BDAY for one more day!
Happy, happy, HAPPIEST of birthdays to you!
Please wish Kathi a happy belated in the comments, and if you would ...
Because I am SHAKEN to learn Chuck Tingle is fine and also surprised I’m surprised. I never really had who they were solidified in my head and sort of forgot about them in last few years.
Are you still wondering….who is future Nobel Prize for Literature Winner Chuck Tingle?
Google their books. I’ll wait.

From left: Monica K, Heather CK, me Laura H, Sarah Cheung. This rad gang went to Kangnam Pocha, on Drury Lane(Covent Garden) in London. Looks fun and delish!
2023-06-28 06:03:37 +0000 UTC View PostI’m watching (loving) Because This Is My First Life and enjoying how the heroine is a drama writer who has to shoehorn product placement into scenes.
Share a product that really should be in a drama…sky is the limit here - no need to ground in cold hard Quiznos reality.

So I (Megan) finally finished My Perfect Stranger. I watched this live for the most part. Overall I really enjoyed it. The whodunit kept me guessing until the big reveal, and in the end, the romance was pretty cute
A few niggles: We never understood the motivations of the murderer very well. The very end with them going back in time again?? Why?? And I'm still sort of scratching my head about the ML and FL leads' son. Basically my brain hurts trying to make logical sense of it, haha. 2023-06-26 14:17:39 +0000 UTC View Post
Am I going to be very very irresponsible this weekend and watch AgustD x Suga D-Day concert in Seoul at 3am tonight and 1am the following night? Have I seen this twice in person? Yes. Have I seen it once in the theater? Yes. Have I watched numerous live streams? Also yes.
And here we are. But did you SEE him on the cover of Japanese Vogue? I’ll wait while you go look because I didn’t realize feather boots are a thing for me. And hoo boy they are!
When not doing that I’m goi...

2023-06-18 15:28:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey look…it’s actually Friday! So what are you watching? I’m finishing Extraordinary You tonight (two episodes to go) and then closing out a fun Japanese BL—Candy Color Paradox. Then what? Not sure! I have to get on Rain or Shine for pod and I want to see Because This Is My First Life and maybe something will grab me :)

Sigh...I thought I was back on track, but alas...I am late again, so for that, Nicole, you get PSJ, PHS, and LJH. In my defense (because let's make this all about Amy), I had two books due two weeks apart and just turned #2 in yesterday so am crawling out of my cave to join the world of the living again.

I went to post the Friday watch round up and realized I have no idea what day it is…and yes I work a full time job lol.
So okay then. How about this…have you had any Kdrama inspired dreams or any Kdrama actors (any gender) or characters in a dream.
Keep it PG-13 or less. Anything spicier can be your own special secret ;)

The first will be on 26th June in the evening for a dinner likely somewhere central in London - for Korean food obviously 😁. LauraPatH is visiting from the States so we’re doing a Transatlantic meet-up if anyone else can make it, we’d love to see you!
The second will be on 10th August where our very own Afternoona...

For those who observe, today is Festa aka the anniversary of BTS's debut (10 years!!!!). To celebrate, we are launching a new Patreon tier for those who'd like to engage more in Bangtan content in a collaboration with our sister podcast, Afternoona Army.

This is Sarah @kdramathis here, delighted to have my first Patreon meet up in my hometown of Cambridge, UK. Tania travelled from Germany for a weekend break with friends and we met up for a Bubble Tea and pretty much non-stop talking about KDramas and Knitting, our joint obsessions 😂

This week I finished My Liberation Notes (I’ll be discussing on upcoming pod) and jumped right into Extraordinary You. Do I find it super cringe? Kinda. Do I also think it’s really clever? Absolutely.
Could I have birthed Lee Jae Wook and Rowoon in college? No need to discuss. I’m also watching with with my 12 year old and 7 year old who both scream for ice cream A...

Oooooh!
This is a thread to post a controversial take. Remember we aren’t here to yuck a yum in a mean way but this is a place to share something that might cause some disagreement.
I’ll go first.
I truly don’t care that our favorite Goblin is an ancient being in a whole man body who falls in love with heroine while she is in a high school uniform in Guardian: The Great and Lonely God.
In real life? I’d have concerns. In K-drama. Nope!
