I started True to Love (it's on Amazon Prime here in the US) and it's so far a very interesting rom com. Only four episodes are out, but I'm on board for where this goes!
Yoo In-Na is the main lead, and I love that we are getting a mature character and not a young ingenue. We get mentions of *gasp* sex! Watching Yoo In-Na on screen makes me so happy. She's so good at rom coms in the spoiled celebrity role. I loved her in Goblin so much that I immediately had to go watch Touch Your Heart...

I finished Alchemy of Souls Part 1 and then just this morning The Road to D-Day (Suga Disney documentary).
I’m in emotional crisis so what a good time to start Alchemy of Souls Part 2.
What are you all watching?

Sometimes I wonder if you think I’m more hyperbolic than I am…
Because I said I’d share my mullet. And this, my friends, is A-Grade child trauma mullet.
You are welcome.

And this may be the last, especially after we tell you what we want you to draw.
Okay so here's the deal: Last night we recorded our podcast on Alchemy of Souls Part One. It was a doozy at two hours long. In AOS, there is soul swapping. So our question is, if you swap souls and father a child, is offspring a descendant of the soul or the body?
So I, Megan, suggested that maybe some soul traits would be attached to the sperm, which made Amy and Lia laugh and describe the sper...

But I’m truly curious how many names end up reoccurring.

So my mother has started watching CLOY, and while she likes it, she only watches it when she's on her treadmill, because she said the TV in her living room is too far away for her to read her subtitles. I told her to watch it on her iPad, and she acted like that never occurred to her, lol.
So Neal (my husband who doesn't wash his face and has toe socks) earnestly wanted to know if that was an issue our listeners have experienced. So where do you watch your Kdramas? Feel free to give mor...

This exercise will be easy for some. Like pulling teeth or making you choose between children/pets for others. But hard questions are my favorite.
So...what are your current top five dramas (they don't have to be in order unless you want/know)?

Hi! This is Sarah & Grace, firstly thanks for all the love you're showing us for our first episode. We are SO happy you all seem to be enjoying it.
We are preparing for our next recording which will feature our first guest, who is Sarah's colleague in Seoul who took her around and was the recipient of a ton of questions and (probably unwanted) Drama questions.
What burning questions have you got for her? She's living in Seoul but originally from Busan. She doesn't watch ...

Okay ya'll. Some of you told us to watch Alchemy of Souls. I'll admit I was being a whiny whiny baby about it because it felt long which is ridiculous because I also love a long drama. I've just been bouncing around like a toddler in a playground in short sexy BL and BTS a lot so my ADHD was not having it.
But....thank you for your persistence. Jung Uk currently owns the deed and title to my whole ass. Amy is already in Season 2 and Megan and I are wrapping up Season 1 asap.

Minneapolis-St. Paul patreons Katie and Sarah also met recently to celebrate the end of Winter/start of Summer (they said it was a 24 hours turnaround). Word on the street is that they discussed Peak Time+BTS Chapter 2 too much and agreed to co-watch Coffee Prince next. Let us know what you think! WE LOVE COFFEE PRINCE.
If you ever connect with a fellow Patreon let us know. We love to see the community grow!

It's always a goal of ours at AfterNoona to hear from lots of different voices, and we're thrilled and so happy for Sarah and Grace as they launch their first podcast under our channel. Here are some details on today's episode:

So all the AfterNoonas are watching Alchemy of Souls right now (so no spoilers please!) and loving it. And I've also come to the realization that swords are my thing. I had an inkling during Games of Thrones in the Battle of the Bastards when Jon Snow unleashes his sword all alone facing a line of cavalry, but mannnnnn Alchemy of Souls has solidified my love.
I also am down for a good umbrella weapon ala Tale of the Nine Tailed.
Who is your favorite sword-wielding character?...

Okay who watched this week? Latest episode and subs are up on Viki. My Team 11:00 killed it as usual, and this song has been stuck in my head since I saw the rehearsal video. I have never felt so invested in five men in my life.
What did you think about the performances? For their next song, they released samples and WE get to vote on what songs fit which group, which I think is really cool! If you haven't heard them yet, you can listen here: 2023-04-06 17:50:36 +0000 UTC

I’m in LA to see Stray Kids with my middle child—her absolute favorite Kpop group or any group. I’m excited too because I love the boys. We are also going to head to Koreatown to eat our body weights. I’m excited!
Also watching Alchemy for our upcoming deep dive. The first episode was a doozie. I’m intrigued!

A Patreon member had an idea for a thread. Alcohol scenes are common in dramas. We could discuss from a more serious lens, but it’s been another huge storm on the California coast and I’m needing light and fun. What is a favorite drinking scene in a drama? Any drunk acting performances you want fo shout out?
