AfterNoona Delight Podcast

What are you listening to right now?

This is Megan and yes I'm linking to an Ateez video. Are you surprised? But for real, this song is one of my favorites of theirs. In this just-released version, there is no backing track so you can hear their live vocals loud and clear. I have listened a ridiculous number of times. 

Here is a sampling of lyrics from this song, which to me is about a transition in life when you know you're changing and it's scary and you aren't quite sure what kind of person you're changing into. 2022-10-18 15:31:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Get To Know Your Host... Megan!

Hey everyone! It's my week to tell you all about me, and I just decided to throw out some random facts that you may or may not have picked up about me after listening to our 100+ pods haha.

In the picture I posted, I'm at the beach, but I don't really like the sand or the sun because clearly I have the pasty skin of a vampire so here I am under a beach tent made for toddlers with a giant hat on and a blanket wrapped around my legs (unpictured). My husband was embarrassed, and I didn't b...

Unburden Yourself

What is something you need to get off your chest from Kdramalandia this week?

Pro tip: 

 If you need to do a spoiler about a show...put the name of the drama and SPOILER in all caps so ppl know to skip if needed.

Happy Weekend! What're You Watching?

Northern Hemisphere peeps...Are you starting to burrow in for fall? Getting your cozy on? If you are in Southern Hemisphere, are you feeling the call of Spring? What shows are getting you through?

If You Wish Upon Me SPOILER THREAD

Hey everyone, this is Megan! Okay, so I FINALLY finished this drama after my Viki account got hacked lol. Luckily, Viki got it back to me within a week, so thanks Viki! Anyway, I finished and *no spoilers* but while a few episodes at the end took a dark turn, the end had me smiling.

So who watched it? What do you think? What would you like to hear us talk about on the pod about this drama? Why is Ji Chang Wook a god among men? SOUND OFF!

Bat Call: Help Out The Pod

So this is ridiculous but it could be ridiculous awesome. I’ve decided to try to make it a mission to get Michael Learns to Rock on the pod…that’s right…MLTR who sings Eternal Love on the Healer soundtrack.

Why? Why not. It’s a ear worm and it would be super fun lolol.

So here is where your power can possibly tip the scales. Are you ready? If you choose to help this vision, head to our Instagram page today, and comment in the show post, tagging Mich...

Unburden Yourself

As much as I love Patreon there is a feature that can be annoying-it’s that members can’t make posts. I can see the wisdom in theory of not having hundreds of posts and turning the place into the Wild West. But… i know you all are sitting on a throne of feelings about all sorts of Kdrama things.

I’m wondering if we should do a more regular “unburden yourself” post where folks can get something off their chest, or start a thread to discuss a specific drama or question.

Get To Know Lia

Hi! Here is my Get to Know You post. I feel like I already overshare a lot to ya’ll but if anyone has any other questions…ask away lolol!

I’m currently watching All of Us Are Dead for this week’s podcast and I freaking love it with my whole heart. It’s a wild and awful ride.

It's the Weekend. Whatcha Watching?

Time to sound off on the good, the bad, the meh, the promising. What are you watching this week?

THIS OR THAT

This one is mean. I'm not sorry. No, you may not pick "both."

A: Rowoon

B: Kang Tae Oh

GIVE THESE ACTORS A ROMANTIC LEADING ROLE!

Good morning all. Amy here with a call to action. Can we all just put a little PSA (public service announcement) together for who we NEED to see as a romantic lead? I have adored Park Jin-joo in EVERYTHING I've seen her in: If You Wish Upon Me, Our Beloved Summer, It's Okay To Not Be Okay, Her Private Life. And I KNOW I'll adore her in everything else she's in. But for the love of soju, can we please just make this woman a romcom lead? We NEEEEED it.

Lee Soo-hyuk...Other than the one ...

All (or some) About Amy

Hey everyone! I have been buried in two back-to-back book edits basically from June until 9:00 on Friday night. I. Am. SPENT. But, that means I can breathe again and hang with y'all much more than I've been able to, and that fills my bucket so much! So, I found one of those questionnaire thingies that's floated around Facebook a few million times and thought that would be fun way to say "Hi, everyone! Here's a 'lil bit more about me!" If you have any questions about the list, want to commiser...

Weekend Round Up

What are you watching this fine weekend? I’m into Tharntype (Thai BL) and starting Love in Contract! I’m also big time curious about the cheerleader drama coming up.

What K-drama character would make the best spy?

I need to ruminate and will post my idea later today.

Wag of the finger to Mercury in Retrograde

Has anyone else been going through it this Mercury in Retrograde?

I mean…so many great amazing things are happening — Afternoona Army is now up on Spotify and I’m so excited for a new edition to Afternoona Universe! Once it’s on all platforms I’ll share a bit of the origin story and invite you all to listen lol.

However because it’s Mercury in Retrograde Apple Podcasts are working on approving it with the urgency of molasses in December. Washing machines br...

Favorite Song from an OST

What is a favorite song you have from an OST? Let’s help each other build out some playlists. One I listen to a lot is It’s Definitely You from Hwarang with Jin and V from BTS. It’s become a daily hype song getting ready for work.

Does anyone else make seasonal playlists? I’m making a Sweater Weather one now.

Universe, hear our plea…

While recording last night we ended up identifying three romantic K-dramas we really want to exist. I’m 99.9% sure they don’t exist. But what if they do. And somehow we don’t know? Are we missing something?

1) Idol/Bodyguard

2) Vampire/Vampire Hunter

3) Assassin/Mark

What other pairing does the universe need to know about?

Happy Anniversary to us!

So I can't believe we didn't realize this ourselves, but thanks to Kathi for letting us know! It's been one year since we started this Patreon, and it's truly grown beyond our wildest dreams. We love the community we have built and are even more excited about the fun stuff we have planned coming up. Thanks for joining us on this K-drama journey. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Weekend Watch

Who is watching Little Women or Narco Saints? Thoughts? What else is on your screen?

I’m getting through Cafe Minamdang and watching a Thai BL on IQIYI called Up In The Air which is maybe not the most amazing plot ever but the characters have my whole heart. I’m about to start All of Us Our Dead and very excited because apparently I like zombies now and Love in Contract is almossssssst here.

It’s starting to feel a bit more like autumn and I’m here for it. Are y...
