Friday Watch Thread Post

Hey everyone! So this week, I watched Kpop Demon Hunters (so did Amy) and we are obsessed. Like truly, that movie had no business being that good. I hope everyone involved in that movie makes millions of dollars, because they deserve it. I plan to watch it a billionty more times.

I also started Squid Game, because I'm going to burn down the internet if I get spoiled.

In non-Kdrama entertainment news, I'm going to see a production of Cats at my local theater, and I couldn't be mor...

Today's Episode Discussion

Today, Lia and I discuss a drama for 1.5 hours that has absolutely taken hold of us. As a Kdrama watcher, I fell in love with Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo. And as a writer, I was truly in awe of how this drama was written. Anyway, we babble for a long time so I hope you enjoy. This drama is available on IQIYI. I have a post up a few weeks back with recs on what else to watch on this app. I also uploaded a reel today on Instagram with my faves. (I'm trying to do more reels, please give me f...

Friday Drama Watch Thread

Hey-yo! Sorry I'm late. I sort of forgot this was Friday. I also took a long walk this morning, and the day got away from me!

Anyway, this weekend, I'm catching up on 3,243 BLs that I'm watching. I started Mercy for None which is truly wild and violent. Is it my favorite short- form revenge drama? No. I think My Name, Ballerina, and Mask Girl were better. But the fight choreography is pretty badass.

I think the Patreon Live this past Wednesday convinced me to watch Our Unwritten ...

Possible Patron Meet-Up in Singapore!

Hi Sarah from @afternoonaasks here. I’m in Singapore at the end of the month and wondered if anyone would be up for a meet up? I’m there between 27th June - 1 July so only a short time as it’s a work trip.

Alternatively if we can’t do I’m thinking of hosting a Patreon Live in the Asia time zone - so let me know if either appeals!

Thanks

Sarah

Friday Watch Thread

Hello everyone! This is Megan posting today because Lia is having the literal time of her life in Seoul. Amy and I woke up to flailing texts from her because she's at Hope on the Stage and OT7 BTS are all in the stadium. We are so so happy for her and for all of ARMY!

So I'm watching about five currently airing BLs. Some are okay, some are good, some I'm barely hanging on, haha. We have another rain trauma IN THAILAND in The Next Prince, and I will never be over that ridiculousness. I c...

Ya'll Dear Hongrang has a boot on my neck. I want it to KEEP PRESSING DOWN. I'm on episode 7 and genuinely want to do nothing but binge but I'm forced to work because I'm leaving for Seoul on Monday (OMG!!!!!) and need to get done a metric done of shizzzzzz.

What are you all watching! Who is ready to come in my pocket? Who is going to be in Seoul this June and we should try to meet up!

FRIDAY WATCH SHARE!

What are we watching this weekend, folks? I (Amy) just started Dear Hongrang. I'm scared but loving it. It is DARK from minute one, so I'm just going to ride the gothic darkness on through till the end. I've been warned of the violence and will soldier on!

Also need to catch the latest episodes of Haunted Palace hopefully tonight.

What's on your watch list?

IQIYI App recommendations

So Lia and I (Megan) are on a crusade to get everyone to watch Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo, because it's an incredible drama. (Podcast coming on it soon.) But it's on yet another streaming app, and we know that's annoying. So in order to entice you to download IQIYI, watch LFTCOT, and get your money's worth for a subscription (at least a month's worth), here are some recommendations on what else to watch on IQIYI. Most of what I watch on this app are BL dramas, but I know there are a lot ...

Fri-Evening Watch Share

Okay, THIS week I forgot.

I meant to post this morning. But then I podcasted with Megan for Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo and we never record on Friday mornings. So after I had a LOT of day job work to do and immediately locked in.

I just did another podcast for Afternoona Army and was like...why am I feeling unsettled like I'm missing something. Cue the Jaws music and me going shhhhhhhhhhhhhhit and running here.

Next time, someone come yell at me in my IG dms. But sorr...

May Afternoona Uncensored: Ask Us Anything!

Happy Hump Day, everyone! Your noonas are recording May's Uncensored episode tonight, so this is your chance to ask us anything, to try to stump us on a marry, mate, murder, or to just toss out a thought you think might spark some conversation!

As always, we'll answer as much as we can in the recording, but sometimes y'all come up with such good ideas that we put them on the back burner to address for a full episode.

Thank you all for being the best listeners!

Hiiiiiiii! Sorry to be late. I didn't actually forget. YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT DIDN'T YOU!

Our account had it's password compromised so my co-hosts changed it and I couldn't figure out where the new password was...and then I found it...and then I couldn't figure out how to find this account again as I'm a tech boomer at best.

And I kept having meetings break up my quest to solve it.

BUT HERE WE ARE.

I only watched When It Rains, It Pours this week...honestly? I love JB...

Sliding in...not late, but not early.

I'm starting Japanese BL "When it Rains, It Pours" ... it sounds like a metaphor for my life at the moment. I'm buried in work across the board and while it's not bad--it's very busy. I'm also plotting a book which yay--and it means I'm operating with about 3% of my brain left over for everything else.

So what are ya'll watching? Let's get to it!

It’s May! Hurray! April felt as long as January so I’m ready to start saying “I’m going to South Korea next month,” all the time.

We are doing Way Back Love for the pod. Amy and Megan finished and loved it — I’m almost done and am really enjoying. It’s so well done and the leads are perfect. I’d love more dramas in this short, smart indie movie style tbh.

I’d like to start something new this weekend, but my youngest is in her final week for Shrek the Musical (g...
