2023-03-27 23:51:46 +0000 UTC View PostThis week has been wild with a pseudo-hurricane and tornado in California. It sort of mirrors my mental state right now as well. Lol!
So let’s get grounded. Tonight I would like to think I’d tuck in quietly with a drama. In reality I’ll be a mess due to Park Jimin comeback but I’m giving myself 48 hours of messy. Sunday is time to self-care and touch some grass and get back into Rain or Shine. In the interim, I’m going to hoover some short dramas recommended with e...
2023-03-24 21:02:48 +0000 UTC View PostSo. Sometimes it’s easy for me to forget when podcasting that other people I’ve never met will listen. And then I’ll be reminded of an overshare and be like …oh, right, I did that lol.
This week it was my finger fetish. I know I get shit for the toe socks and Ahn Oh-joo but the finger issue is real. It’s also not how I’d introduce myself at a party. “Hello, I’m Lia. I work in higher Ed, am involved in publishing and have a thing for people’s hands…in parti...

Happy Spring to Northern Hemisphere! Happy Winter to the friends in the south.
Some friends shared this conversation with me and I keep thinking about the premise… are things women enjoy deemed socially “less than” until men validate it?
Personally, I first really felt this when members of my family would dismiss romance genre even as they avidly read other genre fiction like Lee Child. Obviously I feel it a lot with liking romantic Kdramas or Kpop. I think if I keep unpac...

I finished The Glory and have Reborn Rich and Just Between Lovers out on deck but also started Roomates of Poongduck 304 and it’s very sweet and cute and look…The Red Sleeve is calling to me.
How about you?

2023-03-18 23:04:52 +0000 UTC View PostHI everyone, following chats in the "Where are you" post here, I am in Washington DC for a work trip on 13th - 15th April- I have time on Weds 13th evening or Friday 15th am for a meetup if anyone fancies a Patreon meetup! I know no one in DC other than the work people so would LOVE to meet up for some KDrama chat and some food.
Please drop a note here if you can make it, or message me @kdramathis on either Instagram or Twitter and let's get a real life meet sorted!

2023-03-14 19:50:56 +0000 UTC View PostWhat is everyone watching this weekend. We have just had our third atmospheric river of the year drench us and that is an apt metaphor as I’m currently drowning in dramas.
This weekend I have The Glory 2, Just Between Lovers, and Reborn Rich to roll around in. And I have to watch Mr. Heart—a sweet looking Korean BL. Plus I have been meaning to watch Decision to Leave forever. So can I just curl up in a vault? No! But will I download stuff and watch during my son’s double header wa...

Have a paid day a week to stay home and watch dramas
We are looking to create a few more bonus snack-sized episodes. I'm liking our ideas, but I thought it would be a good idea to see if ya'll have any ideas too! We'll be peppering this around longer episodes throughout the year, but without an firm commitment so it stays more fun (for us-lol)

So I started Rain or Shine (or Just Between Lovers) and I GET IT NOW, OKAY? I get the absolutely grip Lee Junho has on K-drama fans. There is just something about him... Sarah from Kdramathis said his character in Rain or Shine is a bit of a Healer archetype (snarky isolationist with a gooey center) and oh boy. I'm only on episode 4 and I have a feeling that his bad perm and muddy boots are going to kill me.
Do you have a favorite Lee Junho drama? What should I watch next?

For fun tonight I asked ChatGPT to tell me about Megan, Amy and myself. Here is what it had to say:
Megan Erickson is a contemporary romance author from Pennsylvania, United States. She has written several books and series, including the "Mechanics of Love," "Bowler University," "Gamers," and "Cyberlove" series. She also co-wrote the "In Focus" series with author Santino Hassell.
Erickson's books are known for their diverse characters, emotional depth, and steamy romance. Her work...

But I’m downloading Reborn Rich episodes. I didn’t mean to do this drama next. Or at all. But I watched Suchwita this week and remembered how much I love Lee Sung Min and I didn’t realize he was a lead. Misaeng is still in my top 3-5 all time dramas in l...

2023-03-02 06:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostGiven we just reviewed a pretty sexy drama..where do you land on more explicit content in dramas?
Lia brought up Summer Strike by saying it's a small town romance, and Im Siwan plays an introverted librarian.
SOLD.
Then I binged it in two days. This drama was so so delightful. It's like When the Camellia Blooms but with a tighter plot at 12 episodes. Small town romance with a murder mystery. Heroine leaves Seoul to find happiness and settles in a seaside town where she meets a sweet librarian with hidden trauma.
This drama was sweet (very chaste, which is fine), and gave...

Okay so Sarah from @kdramathis had been messaging me (Megan) about how much her and Grace were enjoying watching Physical 100 on Netflix. So I was like okay I'll give it a try. I did not expect to fall in love with this show so much. It's so WHOLESOME. It's like... athletes at the top of their game showing respect to each other during competitions. Last night I binged the rest of it and these were the messages I bombarded Sarah with while she was peacefully sleeping in the UK, haha.

2023-02-23 14:36:21 +0000 UTC View PostSo, last February, we did a Love Letter to Mature Heroes episode, and I've been thinking a lot about older heroines (especially after watching The Glory). So shout out your favorite mature heroine. Let's say over 35. (Because this is entertainment and 30 is like 70 haha.) Why do you love said heroine and what dramas can we watch her in?
