It’s getting cold and dark here in the Northern Hemisphere—any Southern Hemisphere folks around to brag about the coming summer? What is tickling your fancy this week? I’m catching up on Curtain Call and then finishing Tharn Type 2 Before beginning my very anticipated re-watch of CLOY.

Okay so something happened on Twitter and bear with me because I'm fragile over this. Someone said... I can't even type this... someone said THAT LEE DONG WOOK CAN'T EMOTE.
*deep breath, Megan*
Please soothe my feelings by posting your favorite Lee Dong Wook scene. Or Lee Dong Wook anything. Just let's share some LDW love.

His tiny desk concert looks amazing. Also - soccer of course! Way to go to South Korean team today! Who are ya’ll cheering for or sad to see go?

I reread my conversation with Megan last night and it made me laugh. She had high fever yesterday and was like “don’t worry I can still podcast.”
I truly wasn’t sure if it was delirium talking.
But she was all “No, this something I won’t miss unless I’m actively dying.”
So that’s how much Megan loves us and you.
What is something that you will show up for as long as you aren’t bleeding out or hooked to life support?

Congratulations to Hyun Bin and Son Ye-Jin on the birth of their son! Maybe it’s because CLOY was my(Amy) first drama, or maybe it’s just because I love when a couple is magnetic on screen and then I find out the chemistry was REAL, but it makes me sooooo happy that they are a couple. Anyone else feel the same? Are there other Kdrama celeb couples that make you all warm and fuzzy to know they get an HEA on and off screen?
2022-11-29 22:02:40 +0000 UTC View PostWe interrupt our regularly schedule content to bring you Amy in Florida channeling some Megan/Pennsylvania energy. If you've listened to multiple episodes of the pod, then you've likely heard mention of the PA staples, Wawa and Sheetz. The way that Megan has described them, I've always thought, "Okay, it's like a gas station mini mart." But apparently Wawa is SOOO much more. Enjoy. We did. ;)

I got up at 5am to watch South Korea vs Ghana in the World Cup. So let me say it was a fun match, very exciting. Let me also say both teams were not…ahem…unattractive. Truly the eye candy in these games is globally wonderful.
But, the stand out player today, Cho Gue-Sung, come on! Does he have to look this fine AND be twenty-four? My elevator has gone down again and I need it to stop. I don’t want to see what’s on the lower floors for my own morals and sanity.

What is everyone watching? I’m caught up on Curtsin Call. I’m honestly not sure where it’s going - or if the love situation is going where I want it - but I’m really enjoying. Kang Ha Neul is perfectly cast in this. I have to catch up on Love is For Suckers and otherwise I’m in the market for recs! There are a lot of good choices so I’m all ears…

I went to a writing conference in Houston last week and got home Sunday, and my brain is exploding with stuff. I also had to cram Little Women since we were recording Tuesday. So all that to say I'm here now! My brain is working again.
Speaking of Little Women, we mentioned on the pod that it is a bit of a makjang, which is a type of show that's basically over the top with premises that are unbelievable. For the record,...

We continue to send love to all those impacted by this terrible tragedy.

Love when I see appreciation for K-Drama in Western media. This Marie Claire article is great, especially for those just getting into K-drama and looking for something new. They even have the dramas categorized by genre. I (Amy) have seen 27 of the 63 supposedly bingeable dramas. I say supposedly because of the 27 I've seen, not all make my bingeable list, and that's okay. We like what we like. How many have you seen? What would you add to the list?
