| kfangurl

Hey everyone!

Like what we did for the past couple of years, we’re having guest posts from the lovely folks on Patreon, to help us take stock of our drama years, yay! 🥳

We’ll be seeing about 2 guest posts per week, and this will unfold into January 2023, and that’s perfectly ok.

My annual year-in-review, which usually comes out in December, will also come out in January (or thereabouts 😅), after all the guest posts have been published.

If you missed our earlier posts, you can check them out as follows: Ele, Natalia, JJ, Sean, j3ffc, Uyen, MC, Elaine.

Today, I’m pleased to announce that lotusgirl is sharing her drama year.

We haven’t seen lotusgirl around as much this past year, but, as you’ll see in her post, she’s been enjoying a full and active life, what with her varied interests AND her expanding brood of grandkids!

Among her many talents, lotusgirl is also a skilled photographer and artist, and you can check out more of her fantastic work at her blog here! 🤩 You can find her on Instagram @lamosscreative as well.

I don’t know how she does it, but in spite of it all, lotusgirl still makes time for dramas, and for us, her pals, over at Patreon.

Thanks lotusgirl, for making time for us – and for taking the time to write this post!

I hope you guys enjoy!

Today, I’m pleased to announce that Elaine is sharing her drama year.

You know that Korean phrase 열심히 살아 (yeolsimhi sal-a), which literally means to live hardworking-ly?

Well, I feel that that’s what Elaine does, because she’s got so much going on, in the multiple roles that she plays, in her life.

With work, family, kids, friends, a dog, and everything else in-between, Elaine’s got a lot going on, and I’m so grateful that she continues to make time for dramas – and for us! – in the midst of it all.

Not only that, she also makes time to remind me not to push myself too much, and often gives me suggestions on how to do things in a way that would allow me to be kinder to myself. Thank you, Elaine. 🥲

If you’d like to read more of Elaine’s writing, she wrote a wonderfully insightful post about doppelgängers and the question of identity, which you can check out here.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Patreon Year End Awards: MC’s Year In Dramas 2023!

Today, I’m pleased to announce that MC is sharing her drama year.

Once upon a time, some years ago, MC mentioned in one of our conversations here on the blog, that she was about to become a mom, and while I was super happy for her, I also (secretly! And wistfully 😩😅) wondered if this was the beginning of the end, of her drama time, and therefore, our conversations.

(I mean, it’s a fair and reasonable thing to wonder, I think, since my own sister stopped watching dramas altogether, when she became a mom and had to reprioritize things in her life. 😅)

I’m SO happy that MC never left us, and today, is still such a warm and positive presence here and on Patreon, even while juggling all the other priorities in her life. Thank YOU, MC, for making us one of your priorities. ❤️🥲😘

If you’d like to read more of MC’s writing, she recently went to Korea (fresh from recovering from a broken toe, no less! 😱) and wrote about her travels in a fun guest post for us, which you can check out here.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Today, I’m pleased to announce that Uyen is sharing her drama year.

Uyen hasn’t been around as much this year, due to very important real-life things (like grad school – congrats Uyen! 🥳), so I’m really touched that she’s making time to share her drama year with us, nonetheless (thanks Uyen! 😘).

Of course, I’m always glad when Uyen does manage to come hang out with us, coz she’s a Junho-loving fangirl, just like me. 🥰😁

Uyen also writes about dramas on her own blog, which you can visit here.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Today, I’m pleased to announce that j3ffc is sharing his drama year.

Don’t be fooled by j3ffc’s trademark self-deprecating humor, you guys; the more I get to know him, the more I feel that j3ffc’s more imaginative, insightful and wise than he might want you to think.

Plus, he’s thoughtful, kind, and really funny too. Very often I find myself giggling out loud at j3ffc’s witty comments. Thank you j3ffc, for just being you. 🥰

If you missed it, I highly recommend checking out j3ffc’s dream drama post, where he took a real-life incident featured in a news article, and turned it into a kdrama for us, complete with casting picks. 🤩 You can check it out here!

I hope you guys enjoy!

Today, I’m pleased to announce that Sean is sharing his drama year.

The more I get to know Sean, the more amazed I am, at how Sean is a man of many  – many!  – interests and talents.

It’s so cool that dramas is one of his interests, because he applies his wide-ranging interests, and meshes it with his out-of-this-world ability to bend time and space, to all of his drama-watching.

You’ll see that the result is quite astounding, in terms of the number and scope of dramas he’s watched.

Which means that more than likely, he’ll mention a drama (or five) that you might’ve never heard of otherwise. 😁

Sean also writes about management and leadership on his own blog, which you can visit here.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Today, I’m pleased to announce that JJ is sharing her drama year.

If you’ve read JJ’s posts before, you’d know that JJ’s a bundle of positive energy. You can feel it, just by reading her, no exaggeration.

JJ’s also one of our MVPs over on Patreon, for being so forthcoming, warm and welcoming, whether you’re a newcomer just stepping foot into the space, or a longtime member who’s just found your way back after going MIA for a bit, or an everyday hanger-outer who never went anywhere.

Thanks for sharing your positive energy with us, JJ!

I hope you guys enjoy!

Today, I’m pleased to announce that Natalia is sharing her drama year, YAY Natalia!

I feel like one of the things that I can always count on Natalia for, is forthright honesty. If she doesn’t like a drama, she’ll tell you without sugarcoating it, and that’s the kind of drama bestie you need, right – coz we need to save on drama hours whenever we can, yes? 😁

If you like Natalia’s style and want to know what she thought about dramas last year, you can check out her post here!

I hope you guys enjoy!

Patreon Year End Awards: Ele’s Year In Dramas 2023!

| kfangurl

My friends!

It’s that time of the year again, when we look back on our drama years, and decide which dramas were worthy of our love, and which dramas we ought to think about putting in that application to get our drama hours back, heh. 😁

It’s become a bit of a tradition by now, with quite a few folks on Patreon actively thinking about these year-end posts, even before I announced that we were doing this again. How cool is that? 🤩

Like last year, we’ll be taking things in a more relaxed direction this year, so that we don’t all get stressed out from this (and so that I can attempt to stay on top of my Patreon schedule, at the same time 😅).

Again, like last year, we’ll be seeing about 2 guest posts per week, and this will unfold into January 2024, and that’s perfectly ok.

AND, my annual year-in-review, which used to come out in December, will again, like last year, come out in January (or thereabouts 😅), after all the guest posts have been published.

Ele is kicking us off this year (thank you, Ele! ❤️).

Not only did Ele make time to write this post despite being a busy artist who also cares for her grandson (Ele’s a very young grandmom!), she volunteered for the first slot available on the schedule I released – talk about being feisty and dauntless! 😉

If you’d like to read more of Ele’s writing, you can check out her other brilliant post, where she talks about fangirling, Jane Austen style, here!

You might also like to visit Ele’s website, where she talks about art and writing.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Guest Post: Soundtrack #1.5 – How a kdrama changed my life

| kfangurl

Have you ever wished that real life could be like the romantic kdramas on your screen?

Well, that actually happened to our very own Ella, whose real life became very kdramatic, when she least expected it!

She first told us about it over on Patreon, during one of the Entertainment Drops, when I’d shared the trailer for Soundtrack #2, which is coming up soon, and we basically all lost our collective minds squeeing over the summary that she’d provided. 🤭

One thing led to another, and now, Ella’s here to share her real life kdrama love story with all of us, with fresh new details that weren’t included in her initial summary. Eee!!

I’ve also taken the liberty of doctoring a Soundtrack #1 poster, so that we’d have a customized poster for Ella’s story, because it totally deserves one, yes? 😁

Thank you Ella, for sharing your lovely story with us!

I hope you all love her story as much as I do!

KFG ❤️

PS: Also, in case you’d like to read more of Ella’s writing, she’s shared a guest post with us before, in our Stories from the Community series, which you can find here!
