Friday Watch Share

Heyyyyyyyyy so it looks like April is almost over and I swear it was as long as January. I’m so ready to fast-forward through May, the end of the academic year and get to June when my butt is on a plane to Seoul for three whole weeks lol. I just booked tickets to a Dior exhibition and a baseball game for while I’m there— fashion and sports aren’t always my thing and…Why not learn and grow?

But until then life is bussssssy and I’ve started Way Back Love which we will pod soon...

Ooooops I almost forgot it was Friday. Jin from BTS announced a tour yesterday and my brain went offline.

I’m currently watching Thai BL Top Form and suddenly feeling very inspired by honey (IYKYK). Also enjoying Kian’s Bizarre B&B (just for Jin tbh) and starting Way Back Love (which we are going to be doing a pod on if anyone wants to check it out).

You?

Friday Watch Day

Hi All! What are you watching?

I had a mini disaster strike which impacted me jumping into my next drama— and by mini I mean I’m downplaying it so I don’t crash out. I was finishing the page proofs for my next book The E.M.M.A Effect (having worked on it 6-7 nights for hours). This is final edit stage of a book and it’s in a pdf so I have to put edits into adobe. I thought adobe automatically saved files for some reason. Guess what? It doesn’t! So I had 7 pages left and my com...

Ateez and The Rose concerts: Baltimore

Hey everyone! Megan here. I wanted to make a post where we could all chat about the upcoming Ateez and The Rose tours. I will be attending the Ateez concert July 16 in Baltimore. (I mean I don’t have tickets yet, but I’m getting them come hell or high water haha.) I know The Rose plays that same night in the same city. So I’m sure we can arrange a meetup with everyone who will be in town. Do any of you plan to go to Baltimore? Any other location? Let’s chat! Happy to help anyone with ...

What’s a dragon you need to slay?

Context: I have a friend who doesn’t do New Year’s Resolutions, but makes a yearly “dragon slaying list” of jobs that aren’t fun but need to get done and will make her life better

Friday Watch Yay

So real talk … this week I saw J-Hope x 2, hung with ARMY friends, and got my oldest off to Japan. I watched nothing! I am still on my Moon Lovers rewatch but should I add Tangerines? Would I enjoy? I also want a really good BL. Sound off in what you are watching!

Patreons in the Wild: Hope on The Stage Oakland

So fun seeing so many gorgeous faces: Jeannie, Lisa M., Sarah, Becky, Tonya, Megan, Veera, Nicole, Krista, Susan, and so many more 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

What’s something you’re pretending not to know would actually improve your life if you admitted it?

Friday Watch Day

What are you watching at the moment ?

I’m living in a BTS world (and gearing up for Hope on the Stage: Oakland) so keeping to one drama at the moment which is my Moon Lovers rewatch. Kang Ha Neul, I will never quit you, baby. But toxic tragic princes are so 🍝

How about you?

Recs Needed!

So we have a Patreon member who is interested in recs along the lines of Between Fairy and Devil (which I know is a hard ask, because this drama is amazing). So anything that is magical and fantastical, but also anything that is contemporary but feels like an escape from current life--so a drama that's really immersive and sucks you into another world, whether it's fantasy or based in contemporary times. Does that make sense? We can all use an escape! So hit me with your recs

Hi! I want to come and say I’ve watched all the dramas but that is Megan and Amy this week. I am 100% BTS all the time and honestly this is where I need to be at the moment. If you haven’t gone to listen to J-Hope’s new release Mona Lisa head on out and give your ears the VIP treatment.

It was so fun meeting some of you at Hope on the Stage Chicago and know I’ll see others at Hope on the Stage Oakland. I’m starting to get the crazy eye for LA lol. I really like BTS okay? Okay....

Hallyu Madness!

Okay so if you saw our instagram yesterday, you know that we have started a play on the NCAA March Madness tournament, just Hallyu-style. Honestly, this was my husband's idea, and he was so excited about it (he came up with the Hallyu Madness name), and kept asking me how the bracket was going, that I broke down and took like three hours to do all this. Is that love? I don't know. Is this emotional manipulation to get you to participate? Yes.

This year (we will do it again if you all l...

Patreons in the Wild: Hope on the Stage

J-Hope took Chicago and many of us were there! It was a busy few days with many moving parts, but so grateful I got to meet quite a few new faces even though you all feel like old friends. It was also great to see Amy who I only see in real life every few years too!

Let’s do it again with more of you in Oakland soon—okay? Okay!

The concerts were brilliant and nobody does it like BTS. 💜

It’s Friday and I’m Lia and yes I’m rewatching Moon Lovers since it dropped on Viki and no I don’t care about plot issues or the fact I’ve seen it three times already. Sometimes we just love what we love. Downloading episodes to watch as I fly to Chicago this weekend to see JHoooooope (and Amy and some of you)!

What are you watching?

Not For Me

Tonight we are recording about what happens when a drama doesn’t work for you…

So for the show—looking for your participation :)

What is a drama everyone seemed to enjoy that just didn’t work for you? (Please no surprise spoilers)

If your life had a background OST playing right now, what would be on?

Patreons in the Wild

From Sarah!

We had a mini London Patreon meet up - Tania, Heater, Liliana from Tea&SojuPod and Sarah

We stuffed ourselves with a Chinese hotpot and tried (semi successfully) to sell Tania’s Portuguese friends on KDramas - we had a lovely time.

Next time it’s KBBQ and Karaoke in London - let us know is if you fancy it and we will try co-ordinate dates!

Friday Watch Day

Hey hey hey! It’s Friday so you know what they means….

What are you watching?

Megan and Amy are loving My Dearest Nemesis but I’ve gone rogue because it’s time to watch The Red Sleeve. I want pain and a historical vibe.

Also, I’m am in the market for angsty character-driven BL as I’ve been on a hiatus in that space.

Also also, there’s still 24 hours to enter the Hope on The Stage raffle in the previous post. Megan had to back out of attending so Lia, Amy...
