Shameless plug for the Patreon. I’ve made kdrama friends and met up for kpop concerts, fan meets and a BL pocket of friends. Subscribe and connect to joy! Thank you, Noonas.

Insightful, interesting drama banter by 3 authors, very individual tastes. I love most genres, so very fun to hear their different takes. Some delightful personal storytelling, some not-so-delightful, rather dark political sidebars. Detracts.

Not impressed with the discussion content. I wanted to discuss when his love for Jina began. Had he always had a crush on jina and decided to persue her. Totally off the subject matter talking about KDramas around the same year. So. Ye Jin and Jung Hae in fabulous actors. Fabulous
