HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY, DEB!!!
The holidays did me in, y'all, and I (Amy) slacked off on checking the bday spreadsheet. 미안해 (mianhae). So we'd like to wish a very happy belated birthday (January 5) to Deb! We hope you had wonderful birthday and new year and that Park Seo-Joon makes up for the tardiness of this post!

Heyyyyyy. So we have heard some feedback from folks who’ve been enjoying pods where we don’t deep dive a specific drama. While we won’t give those up…we’d love to know if there are any general topics you’d be interested in as a listener?
Also, would you like to get a list of upcoming deep dives as a Patreon to plan your watching? Or do you like a weekly surprise lol!!!!
Hit the Spot: BEST start to 2023 (Amy)
SPOILER THREAD for anyone who has finished, though I won't put any spoilers in my initial post...
OMG I am giddy with how much I loved this compact little gem of a drama! Even with such a short overall story, the writing of the female leads was so well done. They had empowering arcs with great emotional growth from who they were at the beginning to who they were at the end. AND ALL THE SEX POSITIVITY AND DISMANTLING THE SHAME. And these HEROES. The female gaze both visually a...

I had a convo today that I want to crowd source on. If you buy new clothing, do you wash it before wearing or just wear. Is underwear and socks same or do you treat differently.
No judgement I just want to see where the public falls on this.
I’ll get Megan and Amy to weigh in as well.

A Patreon member asked me to open up a thread for the Yet to Come (BTS Concert in Busan) film that will be in theaters soon. The desire is to try to coordinate with any other folks by region to attend movie together because it’s more fun to fan in a group.
Obviously I’ll never say no to anything BTS and always here to help Army find joy!

So I’m having the fun experience of listening to today’s podcast as a member of public as I got pulled out of recording last week at 11th hour due to California weather drama.
I have to say that I’m dying. First for the fact Amy can talk about both frozen yogurt and vacuums for at least twenty minutes. And secondly that Megan’s bowels respond quickly to McDonald’s Iced Coffee.
Look I might like brown. But I might be the only sane person on this pod lol

I ended 2022 hacking my finger rushing around to get ready for a party. 12 guests arrived to see me spray blood across kitchen and then the power went out due to a storm about 8 seconds later. Last New Years Eve my son fell through the ice on a pond trying (and succeeding) to rescue our dog.
He came with me to clinic and we decided we need to not have such exciting ends of the year.

It’s Friday right? I’m in the no man’s land between Christmas and New Year where I’ve lost all semblance of reality and time. I also lost all sleep finishing Fairy and Devil and cannot ever remember the right name but I loved it. It gave me Court of Mist and Fury vibes - if you know you know.
Now I’m rewatching CLOY for first time since 2020…which is sort of fascinating. How about you?

Mostly I hope you are warm and safe wherever you are and enjoying family and some good shows. I’ve lost my mind over Love Between Fairy and Devil…dubbing aside I’m all in.

Hi everyone! If you missed our live last night, there was mention of Gong Yoo's ramyeon video from a couple weeks ago where he makes ramyeon that is too spicy and sends him into a sneezing fit (his manager bought th wrong brand), his adorable floppy hair gets frizzy from the steam, and for a few minutes while they are eating the final product, he has some schmutz on his face (but is still gorgeous because he is GONG YOO).

Okay so if you follow our Instagram, you know that I (Megan) and Lia were glued to the TV watching the World Cup and particularly cheering on South Korea. I've been a fan of Son Heung Min for a few years now, and it was amazing watching him lead his team!
Anyway, Cho Gue Sung is sort of the breakout start of Korea's team since the World Cup, mostly because he's attractive as heck, AND he scores goals. Anyway, I just saw he's going to be on an episode of I Live Alone. He wakes up with a ...

Hi everyone! Sarah and I (Amy) had a fun exchange on Instagram today after she listened to our Itaewon episode. She HARD agrees with Megan's feelings about Itaewon Class while Lia and I will die on the hill that it is one of our top dramas. But in our My Mister episode, it pained poor Sarah how much some of us did not connect with one of her top dramas.
