AfterNoona Delight: KDrama Dishing and Deep Dives

Join Megan and Lia for a candid conversation about weight, appearance, and how K-dramas have shaped the way they think about both. They come at it with curiosity, not judgment, but these topics can be hard to hear, so please be gentle with yourself as you listen.

It's that Uncensored time of the month, friends. While Lia is sadly off dealing with her MBPS--or MIPS, as we like to say--Amy and Megan are holding down the fort along with some Patreon help. Join us today as we answer burning questions like, "Do we want gratuitous butts in K-Dramas?" and "To makjang or not to makjong?" and "Would or could we ever write a romance in the Kishotenketsu four-part structure?" And send your thoughts and good vibes to Lia's laptop. We hope she's gotten over her virus and can return to business as usual!

Today we review No Other Choice, a Park Chan-Wook (Old Boy) directed dark comedy movie about a fired paper company employee played by Lee Byung Hun. It's weird. It's creepy. Do we recommend it? Listen to find out!

Your noonas will be continuing to watch the C-Drama, Pursuit of Jade, for the next several days/weeks/months, but we are VERY much looking forward to K-Dramas dropping in September. Join us for a Smash or Pass episode where we review dramas dropping this week and whether or not we're adding them to our list. But first, we kick things off by exploring the endless sea of quintuple stacked screen snips on Lia's desktop.

405 years ago Lia, Megan and Amy decided to watch My Royal Nemesis. Only one of us completed the homework. Was it Amy? Nope. Was it Megan? Nah. And it was so long ago Lia is genuinely a little muddled on all the souls with their backpacks in the conclusion. Our verdict was not bad, not good. But that opening episode? Chef's kiss...so long as it isn't a bowl of poison.

We heard you! We have received so many DMs and messages asking us to watch Pursuit of Jade, and we finally did it! Your noonas watched episode one of the Cdrama that had everyone talking this year and... spoiler: We loved it. Listen to us chat about why it snagged our attention and some theories on what's to come!

For the first time since 2023, all three noonas were in the same place at the same time! We converged on Chicago for BTS and made the most of our short time together, including snuggling up in Amy's bed to record this episode. You're welcome, video viewers! For this self-indulgent episode, we took the opportunity to reintroduce ourselves as the hosts we are now compared to the timid, newbie podcasters we were five plus years ago. Today we share things we never would have shared--like our underwear packing habits and how Bigfoot was an integral figure in our early author lives--on that first, VERY scripted episode. So snuggle up, listeners, and hop in bed with us for Afternoonas Unwrapped!
