Guest post: The Impossible Heir – A Rant!

Do y’all remember when I dropped The Impossible Heir?

Well, in an unexpected turn of events (which MC will fill you in on, in this post), my Dropped post (here!) actually somehow intrigued MC enough, that she ended up checking out – and then finishing! – the show.

Meanwhile, I found her ranting on the show so entertaining and inspired, that I asked her if she’d be willing to write a rant post on the show for us.

Y’know, to provide solidarity to others who’ve also trudged to the finish line – and also, to satisfy the morbidly curious among us (myself included 🤭)!

Thanks, MC, for taking one for the team – and then for making your suffering so entertaining. 😁

I had a whale of a time reading this, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!

KFG ❤️

PS: If you’d like to read more of MC’s writing, you could also check out her posts on: her trip to Korea, her drama origin story, &/or her 2023 year-end review.

Repost: A Short History of the KDrama Industry – A podcast by Dramas Over Flowers

Image borrowed from Dramas Over Flowers, of course. 😁

You guys. You know I don’t often repost anything, right?

In fact, this is only my second repost in more than 11 years of blogging, the first being 3 whole years ago, which was when my friends Saya, Anisa and Paroma, who are the the voices, hearts and brains behind the Dramas Over Flowers podcast, did a deep-dive into the issue of bullying in Korea (you can check that out here!).

This time, Saya, Anisa and Paroma, whom you may recognize from their work on Dramabeans, did a fantastic deep-dive podcast episode on the the history of Korean dramas (this is part 1, with part 2 in the works as I type this!).

To give you more context around how special I think this episode is, I knew, at just the 11-minute mark, that this would be a fantastic episode, that would be illuminating and interesting, not only to the kdrama newbie, but to more seasoned watchers as well.

I texted Paroma right away, she gave me the go-ahead, and here we are! 🤩 Put it on while you’re in the car, on the train, on the treadmill, or walking your dog – you won’t be sorry, I promise! 😉

Year In Review: 2023

If you’ve been waiting and wondering whether my year-in-review would ever come out, I apologize. 😅

Here it is, finally.

I know it’s almost April now, so mine is probably not only the last End Of Year review of 2023 on this site, it’s probably the last one in the entire drama blogosphere. 😂

In my defense, we’ve been having lots of guest posts from folks on Patreon, sharing their year-end reviews, so that we can have a more wholistic look at Dramaland’s offerings.

With the community chiming in, we get to see a bigger range of dramas mentioned – so this approach doesn’t give us a fast overview of Dramaland, but.. it offers a pretty good one?

This year, we’ve had 15 (!!) guest year-end wrap posts (they’re all listed here!), and now, I hope you’ve still got room in your heart for one more. 😉
