Because Lia would never make it past the first scene without hating us, it's just Amy and Megan today with a deep dive of a drama we both loved, Undercover High School. Do we have questions? Sure. Are there plot holes? Absolutely! Do we care? Not. One. Bit. Seo Kang-Joon is a new favorite for both of us, and Jin Ki-Joo gives us a plucky heroine we absolutely adore. Add to that a fantastic ensemble, a dastardly villain, many skeletons, and lots of LOLing, and apparently, that's the recipe for a 10/10 drama. We hope you loved it too!Ready to download your first audiobook?

We're back with another First Episode study, and this time we're covering Moon Lovers which has just dropped in full on Viki in the US. Lia has loved this drama forever.

This week we're back with another deep dive, another office romance, and another win for your noonas. While My Dearest Nemesis may not be breaking new ground, it's a great twist on a tried and true trope--enemies to lovers--with a message we've been trying to uphold since we started this podcast.

Sometimes a K-drama just doesn't work for us--join Megan, Lia and Amy as we unpack the why's when this occurs. Note: this isn't a pile on or vent session, but more a reflection of how our tastes and "butter" preferences color definitions of meh, good or great.K-Pop Rec: Sweet Dreams by J-Hope of BTSReady to download your first audiobook?

When Lia is away, the sunbae and maknae will play. Sadly, we are without our middle child as she takes the night off to celebrate her husband's milestone birthday. So we took to Patreon to find out what everyone wants to know. As always, our listeners do not disappoint. They ask us everything from our favorite K-Drama opening credits, to our dream cast and location for a variety show, to--well--the million dollar quesiton we didn't want to answer...but did.

It's another Tropetastic First Episode, and this week we're looking at all the tropey goodness in episode one of Love Scout. We gush over the great characterization of our heroine and hero, how the excellent cinematography helps tell the story, and a great enemies to lovers set up with a fantastically antagonistic, yet surprisingly romantic meet cute. We also highlight our love of competency porn and why all you need to get a swipe right from Amy is a color coded whiteboard calendar.  Ready to download your first audiobook?

We watched Singles Inferno 4, and we think it's time for an intervention with the producers. Why are there 3,586 models? Why aren't the singles cooking in Inferno? Where are the friendships?

We gush about the heroes and heroines who make us swoon, the second leads who will always have our hearts, and the beauty of the subtle romantic gesture.

Wir unterhalten uns über BTS, die dieses Mal nicht schuld an dem größten Fail des most.worst.BTS.Podcasts sind, obwohl die Art und Weise schon peak Bangtan ist, warum Zombies nach der Plastikstuhl-Aktion von Jin sehr unzufrieden mit der Gesamtsituation waren, wieso V neben dem Sortieren seiner Gedanken nun auch Paybackpunkte sammelt und weshalb Suga manchmal ein richtig stolzer Appa ist. Außerdem klären wir, warum Namjoon sich zum Glück diesen Monat bereits wiedergefunden hat, wieso Jungkook es von einem ungeschliffenen Diamanten zu einem perfekten Goldbarren geschafft hat, weshalb Jimin für einige der most interesting case war und warum der Supermarkt REWE uns unbedingt sponsern sollte.

Join Sarah, Grace, and Fran from Afternoona Asks as they crash the pod this week to dive deep into the 2019 legal romcom Touch Your Heart. This was a rewatch for all of our guest hosts, and amazingly, they all loved it MORE the second time around. They discuss the legendary chemistry between Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na, the alternating laughs, butterflies, and angst this drama delivers, and the hard hitting social issues depicted. They also address the autistic coded nature of our male lead. If you haven't seen this gem of a drama yet, the Afternoona Asks ladies highly recommend you do...maybe twice!Find more Afternoona Asks HERE. Ready to download your first audiobook?

And then...well...we have some thoughts. A lot of thoughts. Join us as we ponder age old questions such as, How many kidnappings is TOO many kidnappings? Should one bring a roller bag to the jungle?

Today we interrupt our regular K-Drama watching to deep dive a film with one of your Noonas' favs, Zo In-Sung, as he lays it all on the line (of a sword?) for love. WTF are we talking about? Well, you'll just have to watch A Frozen Flower, but you still might be scratching your head and asking yourself, "WTF?" even after you do that. So maybe just listen while we lay out all the WTFery for you, and then you can decide. Hop on board for a wild ride of palace intrigue (very little), baby-making (very much), and the questions we have about post-op recovery time and how soon is too soon to get back on the horse.

End of the year content updates and what's to come in the new year!

Wir unterhalten uns über BTS, die in 2026 das längste und härteste „Try not to sing along“ auf die Beine stellen werden, was unser slow dance jazz music type of person Taehyung mit einer Milchkuh gemeinsam hat, wieso free concerts beim Duschen einfach Jimin's Ding ist und weshalb mincho chat gpt fragen muss, um herauszufinden wann Namjoon das letzte mal clumsy und lost war.Außerdem klären wir, warum J-Hope den Moment sehr fühlt und bis zum bitteren Ende im Stadion sitzen bleibt, wieso Jin zusätzlich zur Bedienungsanleitung des Kindersitzes ein Brot geschenkt bekommt, weshalb Suga's verloren gedachter Anglerhut in Leopadenoptik wieder aufgetaucht ist und warum Jungkook‘s schallisolierter Raum mit schwarzer Optik einfach Bangtan schreit.Eggplants … Wärend der Podcastepisode haben wir so viele Fragen für euch versteckt!

Mr. Plankton-a top 2024 drama that Amy and Megan get emotional in discussing. Lia is a cautionary tale in getting spoiled. Romance? Love story? The science is clear, but battle lines are drawn. Bottom line is: marine sea organisms are poetic, Woo Do Hwan can do no wrong, Lia is barking after a whole other subplot. Ready to download your first audiobook?

It's been a minute, but your Afternoonas are back with a deep dive with the 2014 drama, It's Okay, That's Love. This was a request from our podcast middle child, Lia, who thought Megan might like the drama and was pretty sure Amy wouldn't like the drama, and guess what? We all loved it! So hop on board and join us as we discuss such hard-hitting topics as sandals, sex on the beach, and throwing tomatoes. BUT FOR REAL, FOLKS, this drama has some incredible twists and turns, so we urge you to watch at least through episode four if you don't want one of the twistiest twists spoiled for you. Otherwise, hop on board the sandal-slapping train for one wild ride!K-Pop Rec: ROSÉ & Bruno Mars "APT"Ready to download your first audiobook?

We are starting a new series today where we examine a first episode for all its conflicts and tropes. Today's pick is Megan's choice: I Am Not A Robot.

Lia is dropping in hot with a snack-sized episode celebrating her new release Puck and Prejudice and 3 K-dramas that use isekai (water portals) which served as her inspiration: Splash, Splash Love, Moon Lovers, and Mr. Queen. She also says she'll talk about the election and the world and romance for just a second, but spoiler: it's more than a second. Anyway...her first book in seven years is out and you should check it out for good karma, K-drama easter eggs, and good vibes.Grab your copy hereReady to download your first audiobook?

We were long overdue for this one! Welcome to our 2024 installment of Second Lead SOS where we take a beloved second lead from a drama, one who did NOT get a romantic happily ever after (or in Lia's case, did not even get to live), and we write them the story we know they deserve. Do our choices surprise you? Would you watch these dramas if they actually existed? Do you have a second lead you'd like us to consider the next time we do an SOS?

When someone whispers "angsty" about a drama, buckle up! You're in for a ride that could twist your insides like a pretzel and possibly leave you ugly-crying into your mattress. So, what's your flavor? Are you the type who thrives on emotional turbulence, eagerly lapping up every tear and heartache? Or do you prefer your stories fluffy as a cloud, with just a pinch of angst to keep things interesting? We explore the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Your Afternoonas are in summer vacation mode...but don't worry, we won't leave ya'll hanging. In order to get some time off, but also keep content coming, we developed the concept of three summer rogue episodes. Each host will be in charge of one and can do whatever it is their little heart desires. Lia is up first. She brought in a very special, very non-secret guest...MEGAN. Why is her regular co-host a special guest? Because we recorded this show passed out on her hotel bed after walking 23,000 steps through Manhattan complete with a thunderstorm and four kids in tow. Join us for the joy of recording in human form together, and also upcoming 2024 K-dramas we are anticipating!PS: Where was Amy?
