Happy February, my friends! 🤗
How very trippy, that we’re already done with the first month of 2026! I hope that your year’s been shaping up well so far – and that you’ve continued to enjoy Dramaland and all of its offerings.
As usual, I’m here to share a little update on what’s going on, on Patreon: what I’m currently watching and covering, what might be coming next, and how things are shaping up as we move through the year together. 🥰
My friends!
It’s that time of year again — when we take a deep breath, look back on our 2025 drama adventures, and realize… wow, we really did have a lot of feelings™. 😂
Welcome to this year’s End-of-Year Patreon Awards! This tradition began years ago with a casual suggestion in our chat corner, and it’s since grown into one of the warmest, most spirited things we do together. 🥲
Each entry is written by a member of our lovely Patreon community, sharing their drama year in their own voice — with heart, humor, honesty, and plenty of feels.
If you missed our earlier posts, you can check them out as follows: Natalia, Kumari, Ele, Diasporic Chick, ABV.
Today, j3ffc is sharing his drama year! 🥳
The more I get to know j3ffc, the more I’m impressed with how talented and creative he is (don’t let his self-deprecating humor fool you! 😁).
I’ve also realized that one of the big reasons he keeps blowing me away with his hidden talents is that he’s a great learner. If he’s curious about something, he pursues it and figures out whatever he needs to know along the way — and we get to benefit from the sidelines. 😁
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, j3ffc! ❤️
If you like j3ffc’s style and want to know what he thought about dramas last year, you can check out his post here!
ALSO. If you haven’t yet seen j3ffc’s amazing dream drama “Dark,” you can check it out here!
I hope you guys enjoy!

This show is basically Signal, but instead of walkie-talkies, make it letters, and instead of crime solving, make it love.
It sounds abstract, and there is a lot of ground to cover with two timelines co-existing in just 12 episodes of screen time, but Show’s writing and handling is so deft, so detailed and so confident, that it all works – and really well.
As a whole, our cast does an excellent job, but I have to say, Zhou Yi Ran and Wang Ying Lu truly stand out in their roles as our leads. Their deliveries are so natural and so raw, that I couldn’t help but feel like these characters were real, living, breathing people. 🥲
Highly, deeply, enthusiastically recommend. ❤️

Today, ABV is sharing his drama year – and if you know ABV at all, you’d be able to guess that it’s a monster post as usual. 😁
For the uninitiated, let me just tell you that ABV is a full-on time-bender.
He manages to watch a literal ton of dramas, despite having a full-time job and other interests – AND while getting a reported full 7 hours of sleep every night! I have no idea how he does it, but I’m glad we get to benefit from his drama adventures, in the form of this EOY post. 😁

I hope you guys enjoy!

Today, Diasporic Chick is sharing her drama year
Diasporic Chick’s been a part of our little Patreon community for several years now, but rarely has time to hang out with us, due to her hectic schedule.
And so, just like in previous years, this EOY post feels like a nice chance to catch up with what’s been going on with her. 🥰
Thanks Diasporic Chick, for taking the time to share your drama year! 😘

Show works really well as an homage to the golden era rom-com; it’s got a light, frothy sort of vibe, where the main order of the day is joy in spite of the ridiculous, and logic is quite optional.
Modern tweaks like a male lead who only looks like a golden era tsundere but is really a very easily persuaded green flag, and OTP sizzle that’s allowed to be front-and-center, definitely add to the sense that the classic rom-com is getting an upgrade.
My favorite thing that Show does, though, is how it works to stay faithful to the emotional throughline of its characters; our OTP in particular.
Show does wobble in the final stretch, but not enough to be a deal-breaker, in my experience. Some lens adjustments definitely help – which I’ll talk more about, in a bit.

Welcome to this year’s End-of-Year Patreon Awards. What started years ago as a casual suggestion in our chat corner has grown into one of the warmest things we do together as a community. 🥲
Each post is written by a member of our Patreon community, sharing their drama year in their own voice — with heart, humor, honesty, and plenty of feels.
If you’ve missed earlier entries, you can find them here: Natalia, Kumari, Ele.
Today, MC is sharing her drama year — and it’s especially impressive given how full her schedule has been this year.
One thing I’ve realized is that MC and I have very similar drama sensibilities, except that she’s also often drawn to thrillers (something I venture into less often 😁). So if your taste tends to overlap with mine, there’s a good chance you’ll find plenty here to resonate with.
If you like MC’s style and want to know what she thought about dramas last year, you can check out her post here!
And if you’re curious about something a little different, MC also wrote about her trip to Korea — a trip she took while still recovering from a broken toe, no less! 😱 You can read that here.
I hope you guys enjoy!

Happy New Year, my friends! 🤗
There’s something about the start of a new year that makes me want to pause, take a breath, and look ahead — and that’s very much the spirit of this post.
Things around here are easing into a new rhythm, and it feels like a good moment to share what this month looks like on Patreon.
Think of this as a little map of what’s unfolding right now: what I’m currently watching and covering, what might be coming next, and how things are shaping up as we move into the year together. 🥰
Hi everyone!
Today I’m sharing my episode 3–4 notes on Dynamite Kiss, as an example of what my episode notes tend to look like once I’m a little further into a show.
By this point, I’m usually past first impressions and more focused on character dynamics, genre conventions, emotional beats, and how everything is landing together — which is very much the case here.
These notes are shared here exactly as they appear on Patreon (without screenshots, which I save for the full review).
I hope you guys will enjoy reading! ❤️
Hi everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about romance in dramas — why some love stories not only work really well, but linger long after a show ends, while others fade (sometimes while we’re still watching them! 🙊).
In this voice note, I talk through a few patterns I’ve noticed over time, looking at what the most memorable drama romances tend to share in common.
