On today's episode we unleash some of your noonas' deepest, darkest secrets...like Amy being a cheerleader in high school, Lia's questionable behavior at a Green Day concert when she was fourteen, and Megan's college encounter with a stairway beer bong. Don't worry...we ask and answer a lot of questions about K-Dramas too, thanks to our fantastic patrons! What is Chekov's gun, and how does it relate to K-Drama and our writing? Should we stick with a drama where the story doesn't grip us but the main character does? Have we ever challenged our genre preferences and won? Join us for 2024's August Uncensored!

Today Amy and Lia have the pleasure of talking to costume designer/maker Lynne Martens who scored a press pas to L.A.'s K-Con and got to breathe the same air as Park Min-Young, Rowoon, Kim Soo-Hyun, and Taemin, to name a few. We loved getting to hear Lynne's K-Drama and K-Pop origin story, how she's only two Kevin Bacons away from Ji Chang-Wook and Lee Min-Ho, and of course what it was like to brave the chaotic joy of K-Con! You can find Lynne on Instagram and TikTok at @hallyuwithme and @hallyu.with.me. Check out her YouTube Channel (also @hallyuwithme) for all the K-Pop and K-Drama joy.

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. Get ready to talk about dramas that made us writhe, cry, and maybe throw a pillow or two at our screen (gently, of course).

Summer schedules have been keeping us apart, but your Afternoona hosts managed to reunite for an uncensored episode. What have we been watching? What are we looking forward to (hint: Jung Hae In)? What drama actors would Amy re-cast in a Twilight remake? Megan dishes on Rain and Uhm Tae-Goo. Which drama caused Lia to cry the most? What's one of our real life drama-tastic moments? Warning: Beware random moments of foot licking. Sorry (just kidding, not apologies).

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!

We get into what we liked, why Byeon Woo Seok is a new favorite Kdrama hero, and some fan theories that may or may not make sense. Either way, it's a fun one, so get into it with us!

Join Lia and Special Guest Lexi as we do a dive deep into the 2016 South Korean film, "A Man and a Woman". Directed by Lee Yoon-ki (Love Talk, One Day), this spare and affecting story follows two individuals, both struggling with their personal lives, who find solace and unexpected love in each other. Starring Jeon Do-yeon and Gong Yoo, the film explores the complexities of human emotions, Gong Yoo's butt (sorry but let's be real... many people have checked out the movie for this reason), and Lia can't resist doing "Am I The A**hole" pondering on at least one character. Also this is a love story NOT a romance, I repeat...love story > romance.

On this month's Uncensored episode, Megan and Lia touch on cliffhangers--a tried-and-true narrative technique that writers use to keep their audience on the hook. It's all about creating suspense and leaving the story unresolved at a pivotal moment, making readers itching to know what happens next. Writers employ cliffhangers strategically, often at the end of chapters, episodes, or installments, to maintain audience interest in continuing on.
Cliffhangers come in many forms, from surprising plot twists to life-changing decisions, and they can be found across various storytelling mediums, including books, TV shows, and even serialized podcasts. They've been a staple of storytelling for centuries, dating back to the serialized novels of the Victorian era, and continue to be a popular technique in contemporary literature and entertainment. So, the next time you find yourself cursing a Drama writer for leaving you hanging, just remember: it's all part of the grand tradition of storytelling.And let's be real, we wouldn't have it any other way.

Today we're talking about what makes a fictional character likable, unlikable, and everything in between. Is there such thing as a universally likable character? How do our own internal biases affect our judgment of whether or not a character is likable? And can an unlikable hero or heroine redeem themselves to become likable in the end? Join us for a great discussion, and special shout out to patron Katie for today's show idea!
