Hi all. Amy here! So is anyone else obsessed with the show open for Pachinko, or is it just me? Also, I'm all caught up on the drama and don't know how I'm supposed to wait until Friday for ep. 5. Lots of changes from the book, but I'm really enjoying it so far. Who else is watching?
2022-04-02 17:10:32 +0000 UTC View PostWhat are we watching this weekend? I’m going to tuck into Pachinko and catch up. I also want to watch The Novelist which is a m/m J-Drama short. Neither are happy so I guess my next few days are emotional pain before Business Proposal can heal me.

Sorry sorry, I couldn’t resist! But for real… I wanna talk about cheese. What is a cheesy K-drama moment (no big spoilers) that you love with all your heart?

Hi everyone. Amy here. I know I'm late to the party, but I just had to binge watch Mr. Sunshine for our pod recording tomorrow. I say had to binge because I would rather savor this drama, but life and other responsibilities did not allow me to do so. So I'm just here to let you all know that I will be caught up in my feelings for a long time after this masterpiece of a drama. I don't know why it took me so long to watch it, but I will definitely be watching it again this summer when ...
2022-03-22 23:58:35 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s almost time for drama to release!
1) How are you feeling about Pachinko being adapted to small screen? Are you worried it won’t hold up or are you excited?
2) Thoughts on Lee Min Ho as Ko Han-su? Does this feel like a risky career choice or an evolution of his acting craft?
3) Why do you think the author chose Pachinko as the title? Does it work for you?
4) How did you feel moving through so many character POVs. How would the book have been differe...

Sorry to be so late posting the weekend round up!
I finallllly started Business Proposal and it’s delightful. I wrapped Mood Indigo which is a very dark and twisted Japanese m/m and am going to also watch the sequel ...
2022-03-20 04:28:04 +0000 UTC View PostGahhhh we are only ten days out from Pachinko release!
Let’s dive in to some questions
1) Do you agree with Yoseb that Hansu’s money is “filthy” or with Sunja that it’s a pragmatic choice to support Noa?
2) What are you thoughts on Yoseb telling Kim Chango he can marry Kyunghee after he is dead?
Side note: why do I hate Yoseb and also feel crushed by him on a regular basis?
3) Do you ag...
2022-03-15 19:13:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s Monday so I decided why not have some fun with alliteration.
This Wednesday we are doing a podcast that will have a focus in part on host tastes. We have had a few requests to do something like this…I think because ppl want to know whose opinions or hot takes they might align with best.
So I thought we could do an AMA (ask me anything) where ya’ll can put any questions in comments and we will answer them on the pod. These can be kdrama related or m...

Lia and I are OBSESSED with this Korean BL, and I'm sure Amy will watch it once she's finished Mr. Sunshine. Who's seen it? How adorable are these two? Are you like me and also watching all their interviews and content because they are cute little beans with great chemistry?
Let's chat. And if you haven't seen it, it's a short, 8-episode drama on Viki that will make your heart happy. Enemies to lovers at its best!
2022-03-14 16:38:50 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s Daylight Savings! Do we get more sleep or less sleep? I can never remember.
But either way we will likely feel jacked up so yay Kdrama!
Megan is obsessing over Semantic Error so I’m going to knock it out. And then I don’t know as there are five million choices so I’ll basically play spin the bottle and see where we land :)

1) How is Sunja's life better in Osaka? How is it worse?
2) Thoughts on Yoseb's attitudes toward Kyunghee working? Obviously, it's not great--I'm more curious on if you see anything sympathetic in his thought process, even if it's 100% anti-feminist and patriarchal.
3) Thoughts on Yoseb's choice of the name Noa "“because he obeyed and did what the Lord asked […] because he believed when it was impossible to do so.”

For March’s Patreon exclusive snack we will be reviewing the new Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure K-movie on Netflix. I’m not saying I want to watch for Kang Ha Neul but I wanna watch for Kang Ha Neul.

I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS. Who's watching? I finished Mr. Sunshine with a broken heart and knew I needed something that was good silly fun. Enter Business Proposal, which feels like the perfect antidote to Mr. Sunshine (which I loved, it was just a lot). Anyway, I'm always kind of down for over the top and ridiculous, and this really fits the bill. The male lead is playing the Park Seo Joon-like character from Secretary Kim to perfection, and the female lead is smart, plucky, and honestly kin...

1) The opening line of Pachinko is "History has failed us, but no matter." Why do you think the author, Min Jin Lee, decided to open the novel in this way? Did this line entice you to keep r...
