Sarah and Grace had a fascinating conversation with Professor Charles Kim about the history and culture of South Korean protest. We touched on ancient and modern stories of Korean resistance viewed as precursors to South Korean protest, the student protests that ousted the first South Korean president in 1960, the evolution of mass protest in South Korea over the 1970s and 1980s, and characteristics of its present-day culture of protest. We also discussed the way language changed in South Korea during the transition from the Japanese colonial era through post-Korean War in our language section.

The History and Culture of South Korean Protest with Charles Kim

Annyeonghaseyo!  We are Grace and Sarah, Asian KDrama fans who love to ask, and hopefully find answers to, all of our (and your) Asian drama questions. We cover everything, from silly topics to sensitive and serious issues that come up as we binge.

We'll also share some Korean and Chinese language tips, as well as our experiences as diaspora Asians living in the UK and US.

Afternoona Asks ND: 
Quirky, partly queer and quite late diagnosed, we are the Afternoona Asks ND (neurodivergent) squad - Sarah, J and Fran. 
J is Canadian bringing up her ND family in Australia and is late diagnosed autistic.
Fran hails from Germany and is ADHD/Autistic. 
Sarah is a British Chinese and part of a mixed NT/ND family.
We're here for straight talk, standing up for representation, breaking down stereotypes and challenging ableist perceptions. 
If you've want to explore the Autistic and/or ADHD experience via Korean and other Asian dramas you've come to the right place. 
We're here to discuss all kinds of neurodivergencies with a dose of scientific research and our own lived experience sprinkled on top. 

Join us as we delve into the details and societal context of the dramas we all love!
