So this is a random photo from my hotel room. I’m currently in Las Vegas for a girl’s weekend with three HS friends. Seeing as I don’t gamble, have no interest in a male strip show, or clubbing…Vegas is the obvious choice lololol.
But do I like to eat delicious food and swim in pools? Yes. Yes I do. We are also going to see a few shows which I’m stoked about…
But none of that has anything to do with this question. So last night I caught up on The King’s Affection (I ...

Good morning, everyone! Amy here with a question for y'all. What's a drama that you either have rewatched or want to rewatch? We're going to be rewatching our favs for an upcoming pod, and for me, it's still Goblin. I've already watched it twice. With both CLOY and Goblin I felt so ruined that all I could do with both was go back and watch the whole drama again. To this day, Goblin is my one and only top drama, and I'm both excited and terrified to watch it a third time because I know it will...
2021-11-07 17:46:38 +0000 UTC View PostWhat are ya’ll watching this weekend? I started The Go Back Couple on Grace’s recommendation and overall am enjoying … also waiting for the next The King’s Affection to drop.
Random aside: we started Pirates of the Caribbean series tonight with kiddos. I would love a Kdrama pirate show. We had the slightest taste of the potential in Goblin!

Okay, in honor of our second edition of SML SOS (out today), tell us which second male lead you wish had a spinoff romance with an HEA (happily ever after). Any ideas for what kind of partner you want to pair him with? A storyline? Tell ussssssss.

Woo Do Hwan is on his last military leave will be discharged in January. I'm so excited to see him in future projects! Anyone have a favorite drama of his you want to share? I'm obsessed with his Eun Seob from King: The Eternal Monarch.

Look, I love Halloween and it's been even better since I got into Kpop. The groups always come through with fun special videos. My favorites this year: OBVIOUSLY Ateez doing a vampire concept because COME ON. Yeosang with red contacts in a harness and cape? Seonghwa with a corset? Mingi looking like Dracula? Hell yes.
No one does Halloween like NCT. Jungwoo and Taeyong as Bella and Edward is iconic:
Hello... I'm Megan! I'm the host that loves action dramas, comedy, Ji Chang Wook doing an uneven bar routine during a gang fight, and Ahn Bo Hyun when he's taking sad showers.
I'm from Pennsylvania, where I live with my husband, two kids, and 5 animals. I've always been a writer, and attended a state university for journalism because I was basically told that I would never make money writing fiction. My first job at a local newspaper paid $21,000 a year so it wasn't like I was rolling i...

My daughter and I are watching The King’s Affection on Netflix. I’m not loving, but I’m also not disliking. We are only three episodes in so keeping an open mind!

Hi everyone! I'm going to follow Lea's lead and introduce myself as well.
So...hi! I'm Amy. I hail from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, but it's probably easiest to just tell y'all I live in Chicago. But I'm actually about an hour outside the city. I have two kids who are in middle and high school and three ahole cats. I mean, I love them, but cats are aholes, right? It's all about them.
I have worked in education for a lot of years. I taught high school English for a little...
We had a great request to do a weekly thread on what folks are watching or just wrapped up. This is a great place to get some recs and maybe even make a friend to do a buddy watch! Sound off in the comments :)

Since we bill ourselves as “American Romance Novelists” for the pod, I thought it would be a good idea to give ya’ll a bit of context on our own writing journeys as they are quite different!
I was a Creative Writing-Poetry major for my undergrad. If you think this choice was a source of stress to my parents—you’d be correct! After graduating I published a few poems in literaryjournals and wrote travel magazine articles here and there until I got busy getting my Masters and wor...

However Megan and I haven’t seen the end yet (Amy is still catching up). We are both watching the final 2 tonight and then can jump in to help with the therapy.

Do you have any dramas that you’ve struggled to muster the energy to watch—despite it getting a lot of love? Tell us in the comments!
For me…it’s Vincenzo. I just haven’t felt the need to watch. I just figured it wasn’t going to be in my life and that was fine.
But…then I started Love in the Moonlight this week and saw Kwak Dong-yeon and was like heeeedeeellllllooooooooo where have you been?
And apparently it’s Vincenzo!
And now I’m going to be watch...

So, Eric Nam is a soloist and this is his first release without the backing of a label, so I am really rooting for him. He has a lovely voice, and this song is pretty killer. I love the lyrics, and I'm like 75% sure he recently went through a breakup because my man is FEELING these lyrics, haha. BTW he's from Atlanta!

We record our podcasts on a platform called SquadCast. And part of the fun of recording w/ these ladies is that you have to give yourself a name before every session. I honestly look forward to see what Megan and Amy end up choosing--and as I'm almost always the one w/ technical or time zone difficulties I take my rage out in the names as well.
Here are a few that I pulled today when I was downloading our Halloween special to edit.

We had a great Patreon request to share how we track dramas that we have watched (and refer back to when deciding which shows/films we want to deep dive). This is incredibly low-tech but does the job and now you can see our individual opinions on shows (including those not on the pod), and some of the dramas we are planning to watch.
Not: We also pop things on the spreadsheet that we don't want to forget to check out.
You can see our tastes sometimes align, and sometimes div...
