Hey, Hey. It’s December and almost end of 2024 and close to the 4th year anniversary of the podcast. Damn.
Without When The Phone Rings … I went back to pick up a drama I paused earlier… not for any negative reason. Far from it. I liked it a lot and was getting too busy to sit with it how I wanted so took a temporary hiatus—Love In The Big City.
What are you watching?

2024-12-10 14:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey, all! We're recording our December Uncensored on Wednesday, and while we always welcome any random or not so random questions you might have for us, we're also going to pilot a little something new that we hope to expand on in the new year...A "Hear Me Out" segment. If you aren't familiar with "Hear Me Out Cakes" on TikTok, it's basically people putting skewers into cakes with pics of wild and out of the box crushes they have. A couple of examples: the wave from Moana (like the actual oce...

2024-12-07 03:16:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Those who were on the last Patreon Zoom may have heard that the December Patreon Zoom will be our now annual quiz. Sarah & Grace from Afternoona Asks are again hosting and will helm our second KDrama quiz - those who took part last year had a good time and wanted another round this year - so here we are. It’s for everyone to take part but will also be a competition between Lia, Amy & Megan. Will Lia and her team retain the quiz crown?

I need your rec on what I’m watching after Mr. Plankton. Doesn’t have to be current. Ya’ll know my tastes—I’ll be trolling comments.
And beyond that … what are YOU watching right now? Loving? On fence? Stabbing ground with fence posts?
PS: Megan is watching Misaeng….hype her to keep going!

2024-11-19 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Happy middle of November. I think we are officially on the slip and slide of time that shoots us out in 2025 dazed and full of leftovers.
I’m hiding from all Mr Plankton spoilers but that is what I’m watching. I decided to pause everything else to finish it. My watch game derailed with my book release this week but I’m jumping back in!
I also am in a giant rewatch mood. Anyone else? Maybe it’s the human need to seek comfort in a known cozy blanket.

Just kidding!
I just popped on here to share that Amy and I are going to attempt the first of (hopefully many) Instagram Lives tomorrow— but I didn’t know Megan had already given me a shout out here. Now I feel a little in your face but thanks everyone!
So post here in thread any questions you want us to discuss on the live! It really can be about anything and look if you want me to get into feet….I can! Otherwise writing, kdrama, literally whatever etc is all on the tab...

Our beloved Lia has a book release today! Her first in seven years. Amy and I know how hard she worked on this book, and how she took risks and went outside of the box. We also know how Kdramas inspired the storyline, from water as a time travel portal, to a white truck of doom. Lia is such a gifted writer, and we are so happy for her! Check it out: PUCK AND PREJUDICE.

I was going to hold off on making a spoiler thread to give some people more time to watch this, but I see we already have some patreons posting in chat about it, so I wanted to give everyone a chance to talk out your feelings here. Because whew I'm sure you have a lot. I (Megan) finished it, but Amy and Lia are still watching. So, you have been warned, MAJOR spoilers in the comments. Including some of my thoughts. Okay? Okay. Here we go.
2024-11-11 17:50:08 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
So yeah, it’s been a real couple days here. I’ve taken week off from Kdramas because I’ve been talking with friends and family, very busy with supporting students, and completing the mandatory twenty hours of volunteer time for my daughter’s musical over the next two weekends. But Megan said to catch up with a Virtuous Business as it felt apropos. So I will!
Community always matters. At this point it matters even more. I’ll be thinking of ways to strengthe...
2024-11-08 15:56:34 +0000 UTC View PostWhat did you think of our SOS's today? Amy gave Kim Tae Sang from Lovely Runner an HEA. Megan picked two secondary characters from My Sweet Mobster to hook up, and Lia gave a cool paranormal bent to a villain from Queen of Tears.
2024-11-07 00:58:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everyone. The way that our schedule shook out, we are recording our uncensored episode tonight (thought it won't air for a few weeks). What do you want to know? Ask away! Whether it's a question about what we're watching or a super mean Marry/Mate/Murder, we'll answer what we can!
THANK YOU!

2024-11-04 16:48:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey! It’s Ground Hog’s Day here because I’m still watching same two dramas as last week. Love in the Big City — I don’t feel right binging this — and A Virtuous Business.
I also started rewatching I’m Not Robot and honestly … no regrets.
None.
I’m also hoping Mr. Plankton is going to be as good as I hoped! Almost here!!!
What are you watching?

What the!!!!??????
I’m still loving A Virtuous Business. I meant to start Blackout (which I willlll) but I fell into Love in the Big City on accident lol.
What are you watching? Are you dressing up for Halloween at all— if so, what will you be? I’m going to be Nyx- Goddess of Night (an easy way to make wearing all black more special lolol)
Let’s hear it!

Hello Afternoonas Community!
I know some of us have extensive or brief travel experiences to South Korea, and many of us plan, anticipate or wish to visit, sooner or later.
I return to Seoul this Friday for over two weeks, and it has been my intention to create a shared google document for our sharing, learning and questions – favorite recommendations that go beyond traditional guidebooks – especially for K-Drama, K-Pop and...
