No, really. Today is officially Comfy Day.
I don’t know who makes this stuff up but would like to propose this is an international holiday.
Do you have a comfy set up to watch dramas most happily? I watch almost exclusively on my phone…and often under a down sleeping bag on my couch with a cup of tea (all hours) or an occasional whisky (after hours).

2023-02-20 16:39:51 +0000 UTC View PostIs there a drama that you started, but fell off after a few episodes, but then later gave it another shot and loved it?
2023-02-19 21:47:20 +0000 UTC View PostA common trope in both romance and K-drama (especially with paranormal or fantasy themes, but not always) are “fated mates.” Basically a mate chosen by “destiny” or “the universe” etc.
Fated mates are VERY popular but it makes me wonder how many of us IRL believe in the idea of soul mates…or not.
I don’t have a secret agenda here. Just doing the laundry and curious what you all have to say on the topic :)

2023-02-16 21:35:56 +0000 UTC View PostFor those of you who follow our Afternoona Delight Instagram, you may have noticed I made a bit of a spectacle of myself yesterday. My ultimate bias in all the things is Min Yoongi aka Suga of BTS aka AgustD and yesterday he sneakily announced a tour.
I spent yesterday in pure unhinged happiness. I’ve just been accepted into a mentor/mentee program at my university where I’m actually the mentee. And it was my first time meeting my mentor. And I’m sure he left that meeting...

If there is a spoiler to your statement please mark as

It’s been super busy here this week so I’m sort of just barely treading drama water and hoping to get to it this weekend. I’m finishing Not Me which is a super high concept and surprisingly thinky Thai BL on YouTube. I need to start Bad and Crazy but I’m not sure I’m in the mood? Thoughts or what else should I irresponsibly inhale?

2023-02-11 00:25:07 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning, all! I (Amy) came across this ad in my Insta feed this morning, and if I dind't already have Viki, I'd be sold. LOL. The comments are the best, but because this was a sponsored post, I wasn't able to share a link to it. So, if you come across this ad in your feed, I highly recommend reading the comments. But for now, enjoy my first ever screen recording of an ad because that's just how much I enjoyed it!
2023-02-10 14:44:30 +0000 UTC View PostI often see Kdrama and Kpop celebs sharing their Meyers Briggs type. Do you know yours? If so, does it resonate?
I’m not sure if it’s something that rules my life but I’ve had to do it many times for work and I’m always ENFP and I’ve never disagreed with the profile.
My husband dislikes it to a powerful degree. He is also an ISTJ which is my polar opposite and honestly (shhhhh) it checks out.
Just curious on your thoughts and feel free to share yours if you know ...

Where do you land on dramas that depict cruel-but unfortunately realistic-bullying? Is it triggering from your lives experiences? A hard pass? A psychological curiosity? Share in the thread…

So I mentioned in one podcast (I think it was the casual Kdrama chat with Amy) that an author friend posted that she was in Korea. When I expressed my absolute envy, she said she'd send me a postcard. She went to university in Korea and has family there, so she was visiting over the holidays.
Well I got said mail today and I have to share, because it's totally one of the sweetest things. The card is gorgeous, and this bookmark is a very thin metal. Etta said the hanbok on the...

Every week I can't find the recording link to join the podcast. Because I'm a Gen X with a Boomer Heart. So are my co-hosts sympathetic? No. No they are not.
2023-01-26 00:25:37 +0000 UTC View PostWe've had a Patreon request! Folks who are studying Korean (or keen to improve) can post in this thread for resources, websites, books, podcasts, YouTube, etc plus ask questions that anyone who speaks Korean can help answer if they have the capacity.

This is my face at 1am after finishing Love Between Fairy and Devil. I can’t open my eyes fully. I look like I got punched in the face. I love you all and I’m willing to post a pic where I look absolutely terrible for your enjoyment. 😂
Was it worth it to have swollen eyes? Yes. 100% yes. This drama was EPIC and special. 🥰

2023-01-25 03:26:44 +0000 UTC View PostOkay so they are not real, but they touch our hearts, okay? Who is a K-drama character that you have a big, stinking crush on.

In the thread below go ahead and share a podcast (or even link to a specific episode) that you think other folks in the group might enjoy, or it just fills your own nerdy bucket. Can be k-drama or k-pop related, but we are multi-faceted people and so if you are obsessed with listening to a show on the evolution of pickling or the sleep cycles of medieval serfs or a deep dive on Gargoyle a...
