@kfangurl – I know! No LMO at all! And trust me, LMO does not occupy my thoughts neither sleeping nor awake. lol For some reason in the dream I was there with you ladies recording the podcast in a large building like a hospital or a school. The podcast ended and our meeting broke up and as were all leaving the meeting room, I’m straggling at the end of the group and I hear a muffled sound as if someone had cried out in surprise as someone had placed their hand over their mouth and dragged them away. I went back to investigate and as I pushed against the door to the room opposite where we had held our meeting, the door met with resistance. I pushed really hard and suddenly this actress (I recognized her as a supporting acts but can’t remember which show I’ve seen her in) allowed it to open about 6 inches. I could see her and standing about 7-8 feet behind her, LMO had turned his back and his face was blocked by something like an open upper cabinet. (How did I know it was him then? Hey! It’s a dream shrug) I told them, their secret’s safe with me and I immediately left to catch up with the rest of the group, smiling smugly and self-righteously that I knew an amazing secret but I’m so awesome because I’m going to keep it to myself and not gossip about it to the world! HAHAHA!

When I woke up, I restarted the podcast from the beginning. 😆

@Kfangurl- I was ALL IN for ALL of it!

@Trent – so funny that your description pic things you didn’t like has me smiling remembering. And I hated the other couple. lolololol

@kfangurl – I am so excited to physically hear your voice! Every time I tried to listen to the podcast, I got interrupted. Yesterday, I finally lay down but thought I’ll listen just before falling asleep. Well, I fell asleep and the podcast became part of my dream (which included Lee Min ho, which is totally weird cause I’m totally neutral about LMH).

Anyway, I finally listened to the entire podcast today. At the mention of you retiring – I do not have the emojees 😱. [Don’t panic anyone who didn’t listen yet, she’s not retiring.]

I so appreciate how much the Dramas Over Flowers’ members appreciate what you do. It’s obvious they fangirl The FanGurl! They called out many of the same things that we always talk about that we ❤ about The Verdict.

I’m kind of quiet this week (even compared to usual) b/c on a family trip with little time to watch or comment (barely keeping up with the two group watches, but still hanging in there), but was able to listen to the podcast on a long car ride. It was great hearing your origin story and thoughts on drama watching (from the entire group on the podcast – I listened to the Dramas Over Flowers team’s bullying episode, too, which was very interesting). Of course, we are all unnecessarily interested in your choice of spelling for your on-line moniker, so I’ll finally ask if you’ve ever heard the song “September Gurls”? It’s the only “u” spelling that I’ve encountered (but then again, I don’t get out much) and what first leapt to mind when I saw your name. You might try the version by The Bangles.

Aaahhhgg! My net sucks! It keeps on stopping! And 😁 yay! That I was able to hear your voice! You’ve got a lovely voice tone. I really, really love 💕 it! I couldn’t imagine the cutie girl as dp has a good speaking voice.

I am wrting down my comment while 🎧. I still need to repeat listening as it keeps stopping. You’re so cute and I do remember as how back then when you created a Gong Yoo squee fest over FB and we had a fun discussion over fb messenger about GY’s guesting in a variety show.

Look how far you’ve come! I have been a Kdrama viewer and a fan of yours for over a decade now. And even I don’t visit your site regularly I keep remembering you as a dear friend across the net. So happy that through you, I have learned about things about kdrama.

Through the years, I think I became more matured in choosing what drama I have to watch Your reviews make me slow down a bit and. Somehow, my drama watching isn’t as depth as you do. You have a very vast knowledge in watching and in writing.

Congrats on dipping your toes into this new (for you) platform. I would have wanted to hear less about your private life and more about the mechanics of keeping a blog alive, attracting new readers, and of course, your plans for the future. Hope you will get a chance to speak to us more often.

Now, that was fun! 🙂 It’s always interesting to find out how people got into dramas and also into blogging. I started out with online fandoms of couple of western shows myself, then a happy ‘accident’ brought kdramas to my life and the rest, as they say, is history. 😉 Well, I had my own ‘existential crises’ last year that eventually lead to a rather lengthy break. Your blog was one of the things that kept me from totally drifting away. Your posts are always a delight to read and I’m constantly amazed at your ability to make them so incredibly detailed. I could never! 😀

Hello kfangurl, I have just finished listening to the podcast and it was so nice to hear the other side of the blog. Thank you for sharing some lovely insights and how organic your journey has been. Yes, another six hours of conversation would have been fine by me 😉

From my perspective I hope you do keep blogging as long as possible. I can’t always keep up with what’s happening on the blog, like I used to, but when I do it always makes me feel I have some balance back in my life. Interestingly, I find Patreon a bit easier to tap into at the moment.

Long may you reign in the blogging world 👑👑👑

That was a very enjoyable listen, I’m glad you got a chance to do it!

I feel like I’m a little bit the opposite of some of the crowd, in that I’ve had more visceral emotional reaction to the more recent (say, released in last 5 years) dramas I’ve seen than the older ones (with the caveat that I still haven’t seen too many “older” ones). I wonder if it’s a case of what you first “imprint” on? Hmmm.

(Whenever the _Coffee Prince_ love starts to flow, I feel like I have go stand in the “you’ve been bad” corner for awhile, since I seem to be alone in not having loved that one…).

That was so moving, kfangurl. I chime with that feeling kdrama allows you to cry when you can’t cry about real life 😢 Thank you for such honesty – and this podcast makes me just love you and your wonderful blog all the more 😍 CPR kisses! Jang Hyuk obsession! You even answered the number one question of why you’re kfangUrl 😂 Thank goodness you stopped lurking, and you could never let us down 😘 Take it easy on the number of posts!

Hey “K-drama club president” (LOL), this podcast gave me so much joy and I LOVE your voice (I will hear it from now on when I read reviews 😀 )

“as an innocent bystander I did not see the appeal of crying all weekend”

LOL how pure, this really made me laugh!

I could completely relate to your emotional reaction to Goong. Despite all its flaws (and there are many imo), a lot of the dysfunction and miscommunication between the 2 characters really resonated with me. And it is true to some extent that some of the older, less polished dramas can pack a bigger emotional punch but not as a rule, I feel? There were new(ish) ones that completely slayed me as well (“It’s ok to not be ok” for example)

The whole “I’m an introvert at heart” made me feel so seen. I lurked on a discussion forum for a particular TV show for months before getting up the courage to post but I have never looked back. The fact that it was such a welcoming crowd made a big difference of course. I am now friends with some of the posters from back then and even met them in RL, even though we’re all from different countries/ continents. If that’s not an argument for delurking, I don’t know 😉

I totally get that you occasionally question whether to keep doing what you are doing, so just know that you are bringing SO MUCH JOY into the world with your reviews/ blog <3 <3 <3

The Special, such an honor, whatta voice! Whatta star! Queen!

Great to hear what you really sound like!

Well, that was great fun and very well done! Congratulations!

Listening now!

Congratulations! I’ll listen to the podcast.
