Book Rec: Kpop Idol meets Rock Star (Gay Romance)
Sometimes, I just browse Kindle Unlimited and click on whatever strikes my fancy at the moment. And even though I usually stay away from rock star romances (In fact, I'm not a huge fan of celebrity romances), I couldn't resist this book because the blurb looked good and I was intrigued.Listen. I finished this book in a day. I could not put it down. While the ending made me crazy happy, I was also bereft because I would have read about the...
Friday Watch Day
It’s Friday—yay! What are you watching? I got accidentally slightly hooked into a C-Drama “Amidst A Snowstorm of Love” — has anyone seen? Recommend it? Megan is watching Wedding Impossible and making it sound good. Amy votes I do Twinkling Watermelon. Opinions? Or I’ll just see what folks are vibing with here!I’m in mood for something highly addicting and binge -Lia

The Rose: London
Hi Sarah from Afternoona Asks here. A few of us (Franziska, J, Sian, Heather) are going to see The Rose on March 30th and we thought we’d also arrange a meet up in London for people who wanna join us for some food/coffee beforehand. I’m planning to do a meet up in central-ish London and then we Rose attendees will head up to Wembley for the concert in the evening. I’ll be setting up a what’s app channel for this so pls comment below if yo...

Happy Chicken Nugget launch date to all those who celebrate! Hell yessssss I’ll be watching first episodes and hoping for surreal brilliance!Not a Kdrama but I inhaled Kiseki— a Taiwanese BL that has my favorite second lead couple everrrrrrrrr. By inhaled I watched 11 episodes in a single binge. I was up to 3:30am and no regrets.I turn in more edits Monday and then I can juggle another drama as well. What is in front of your eyeballs?-L

After thinking I was in Thursday for multiple days, I just thought I was in Wednesday and almost forgot to share this 😬Ya’ll I’m doing greeeeeat! #thrivingI’m wrapping Doctor Slump and honestly I just love it. It’s comfort watching at its finest and hasn’t made me bored which look…Park Hyung Sik could truly just sit and watch the rain and I’d be enchanted.I started Bad Buddy too. I’m debating what next knowing Chicken Nugget Dr...
Seo In Guk Fan Meet
Sarah from Afternoona Asks says: In case you weren’t aware Seo In Guk (Death’s Game, Doom At Your Service, The Smile has Left Your Eyes) is doing 2 fan meets in US - 1 in LA on Monday 22 April and one in DC on Tuesday 23 April (details below!). After battling with my inner frugal Asian I have decided to say sod it and reach for joy - I am flying all the way to Washington DC to see Seo In Guk, who is probably my ultimate kdrama bias! So a shou...

We are going to invite an author special guest (and good friend) to come on the pod soon. She has never seen a Kdrama. We are asking her to watch first three episodes of a drama and we will discuss the experience. I asked her for three tropes and any special preferences.She said:Enemies to Lovers, forced proximity, possibly set in office? Young professionals? I also love competitions where they're pitted against each other for something.What ...

What are you reading?
What are you reading and has K-drama influenced your reading choices at all?I’m currently reading The Warm Hands of Ghosts and can’t recommend more (author is Katherine Arden and probably my favorite)I love a historical…but have been craving a paranormal atmospheric drama and this book is scratching the itch. Not quite paranormal. Maybe more speculative fiction with light paranormal elements ;)Yeah, I want more dramas like that! ———...

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiit is Friday, ya’ll. What are you watching? After pledging to get into all things killer, I absolutely did not. I’m currently surprised to find myself utterly delighted by Doctor Slump. Park Hyung-Shik and Park Shin-Hye are perfectly cast imo and I’ve been trying to sell Megan saying there is VERY little operating room plot. Not sure if that will make her bite, but I am all in. I’ve also taken it upon myself to rewatch all th...
Accent Chat
Post from Afternoona Asks Sarah: The latest Afternoona Delight podcast has a section on the hosts different accents - I’m so curious as we all come from different places - can you tell the hosts apart? Whose voice was the easiest to make out? What helped make them distinctive? Who has the most “typical” American accent for you?
Finished Marry My Husband! (spoiler thread)
Happy Marry My Husband finale day, everyone! Amy here, by the way. Poking my head out of the covid cave (it got me again) after just finishing the finale and needing to discuss.Some brief final thoughts:1. Na In-Woo and Park Min-Young's chemistry was worth the 16 episodes alone. And good gravy, I did not remember him being such a giant redwood of a man as sad cousin in Mr. Queen. Love. Him.2. Su-Min is one of the best villains. She is horribl...
Friday Watch Check
All right I’m finallllly ready for the murdering to begin. Lots of violent shows to choose from but I’ll start with Killer’s Paradox. Last night I watched a Japanese movie on Viki…His… I wanted to like it more than I did. I started a pretty old Park Hye Shin drama—You’re Beautiful— as well, but I’m uncertain if I can go on lol. Is it a case of enduring a few over the top episodes and then it’s crack good? I need to know. I’m...
The horrors persist, but so do I…
I turned on a book to my editor last night—squeaking under my deadline by 1hr and 3min. A win is a win!So what have I traded off to get ‘er done: sleep, sanity, seeing friends, being outside, exercise, meditation, grocery shopping, kdrama binging. Folks, we cannot have it all. lol. So now I look at my house and think wtf has been happening here…and my partner and children all blink…like idk we just live like savages because you weren’t ...
Where Is It?
I think I’ve hit the point where I need a break from corporate boardrooms in my kdrama. What is a K-drama setting we haven’t really gotten yet? And should?
