I’m up camping up on the Mendocino coast this weekend but did I download a pack of dramas to watch in my tent. I’m gorging on Love Mechanics right now which is on the Tencent app and quality Thai BL angst. What are you watching?
2022-09-03 18:57:30 +0000 UTC View PostI need to talk about this drama. Who's watching? Who's obsessed? I'm actually consumed with it and I would cut off my arm for Gyeo Re at this point. Ji Chang Wook is acting his ass off. I want to be Sooyoung because she's amazing and fun and has a huge heart.
What are you all thinking??? Any predictions? Who's wallowing in the feels with me?

I had a recent one. I didn’t think I liked sports shoes, but I guess I do.
I finally got on the Ted Lasso train much to Amy’s delight. My husband and I binged watched both seasons in under a week. I loved it so much that I now want to manifest a Korean soccer drama. Here me, universe!

2022-08-19 14:40:49 +0000 UTC View PostWhat drama was your most epic binge? I’m talking you gave up sleep, family and friends, and generally lost the plot until you finished.
2022-08-18 04:47:57 +0000 UTC View PostSomehow we are back to school here in California — at least in our district. But that doesn’t mean I’ve been responsibly consuming Kdrama! I wrapped up Pachinko (4 episodes in one night) to pod with Amy. And I’m already on episode 6 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo after starting ahem…yesterday.
What are you watching, loving, enduring….

2022-08-08 21:00:46 +0000 UTC View PostWhat is in your eyeballs? I’m sort of spiraling in the post In The Soop Friendcation 3 episode last night. Having Wooga Squad declare Woo Shik as Rom-Com King with Our Beloved Summer killed me. I will finish Pachinko this weekend so Amy does fire me and we are recording it next lol

2022-07-31 21:55:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Jet lag is slowly releasing its claws into me. Although I had an exceptionally vivid dream last night that there was a tiny (finger-length) snake next to my bed and my husband refused to remove it. I woke up annoyed until I release none of it was real.
Who is watching what? I’ve been on a bit of a bender. I watched Thai BL Love Mechanics on Viki which according to Patreon Alison is now airing an extended length version on a new app so I guess I’m in. I finished Itae...

2022-07-27 19:32:14 +0000 UTC View PostI’m in the end of a vacation vortex plus navigating a lot of time zones but I just checked and yes it is indeed the weekend!
I’m going to be climbing into a plane on Tuesday to fly back to California with my family. 7 weeks in Australia has been fantastic, and I’m excited to see friends, redwoods, and be happy for my children to reconnect with their beloved animals.
Very happy to hear some recs as I’ll likely Kdrama the entire flight to Auckland and then on next leg to San...
2022-07-23 06:22:54 +0000 UTC View PostSo first of all, this Wednesday, me (Megan) and our own Sarah from @Kdramathis release our pod together on Twenty-Five Twenty-One so stayed tuned for that! It was a great discussion. Second of all, I'm editing the podcast and this moment made me laugh out loud. I know we talk about all our pets on the pod way too much but here is audio of me kicking my cat, Lulu, out of my office. For the record, I also had to edit out all the clatter she was making as she climbed UP MY BLINDS on my window. 2022-07-18 15:47:13 +0000 UTC View Post
What are you all checking out this weekend? I’m trying to wrap up Yumi’s Cells 2 wondering why do I torture myself. I also stayed up until 3am rewatching multiple scenes of Kinn/Porsche. I have no chill with that series and need season 2 nowwwwwwwwowowowowowwo.

My cosmic birthday sandwich is now complete: Lee Min-ho (June 22); Amy (July 1); Gong Yoo (July 10).
Show some Gong Yoo love by sharing your favorite Gong Yoo drama or film. For me it will always be the sad love of Goblin. Kim Shin is it for me.
Share a drama that made you cry. Sometimes (lots of times if you are Amy) we seek out a cathartic cry.
I have a lot but I’m going to say When the Camellia Blooms. There was a scene between the heroine and her mom that had me actually howling…I made loud enough noises that my husband came to check on me! -Lia
2022-07-07 10:44:00 +0000 UTC View PostAn open thread where you can get a topic or feeling off your chest with folks who understand!

Today is rough. Hospital Playlist is wholesome. I saw this pic in my photo album and it made me smile. Kdramas are self care. What are you watching this weekend? If you are in America, extra hugs today. And I’m not even a hugger.

On the podcast's Patreon live today I shared the bemusement of coming across an "American Food Store" in downtown Melbourne, Australia on the weekend. I cannot say I was proud. For those 'Mericans here in the Patreon, see any favorites? I mean I'll never say no to Takis lol.

Look, I'm (Amy) not saying that it's fate that Lee Min-ho's bday is 9 days before mine and Gong Yoo's bday is 9 days after mine, but I'm not saying it's not. ;)
If you love Lee Min-ho like I do (or even half as much), celebrate the birth of my King of Corea with a C by sharing your favorite Lee Min-ho drama!
